this dress is fantastic. i am tall and very long waisted, so the shoulder crept up a bit, but other than that, perfect. i had an xs and a s, ended up wearing the xs because the s bunched around the waist. be perpared to paint this dress on and not want to take it off. wore to a dinner event with tim gunn - and he also loved the dress!

First, the most noticeable thing about this dress is the weight. It is extremely heavy and had to be hoisted up throughout the event. The beaded neckline also left bruises on my collarbone. The dress is teal, not blue and the beads are a gold brass tone, not silver. The dress is polyester, not jersey. I'm 5'9 and in 4" heels, I had trouble walking in the long size. Unless you're 6', I would recommend the regular length. It's a beautiful gown overall.
