This was a great A-line dress for my short torso. It was a bit loose on top, and would have been fine, but I didn't want the straps to move at all so I wore a VERY padded bra that bumped me up to about a D. With the bra I picked, I was able to reposition the straps in the back so it would run right under the dress. But for most people you might want to go with a strapless bra. It was a bit tight in the chest as I have a wide ribcage, but I didn't notice it all night. The part of the dress that looks white is actually silver threading, so keep that in mind. Basically the whole dress is embroidered, so be careful of keys and metal clasps that might catch on it. I liked the way it looked on other people who wore belts with it, so I added a black sash I had lying around, and it tied in a thin bow the back. I LOVED HAVING POCKETS! Man, I wish more dresses had pockets. I was able to keep my phone with me on the dance floor so I could take pics! And I didn't have to worry about my money either. It's not a heavy dress, but it's fairly thick, so it's probably better for evening vs. daytime events. Overall it was a nice combination of classy, cute, and fun, which is what I was going for.

I am 5'2" and it was definitely too long, even though I picked the short version. With 2 1/2 inch heels, it was barely wearable (still hit the floor), and I had to be very careful not to step on it. Looked great though, and I got a lot of compliments. I loved the lace and the drape.
