A summer black tie wedding at an Elegant Farm-like setting made deciding short vs long tricky.
So glad I chose the high low navy dress. I received a million compliments. I am a size 10 in clothes but a 12 in formals. The fabric was light which was nice for a summer wedding but meant I needed to wear the proper undergarments so I did not have any bumps and ripples. I wore a black strapless bra however needed fashion tape as the bodice gapped around the top and arm hole and needed to be secure. Black bra was less visible than a flesh color. The length was perfect worn with 2 1/2 inch sandals. I am 5'6 and 157 lbs. I am an avid athletic person and not small but strive for a feminine look. I think this was perfect for my physique.

slimming and gorgeous fabric- felt like I was 45 again
Age 60 and fit and looked like $1M in this dress. My kids friends all were wowed by how awesome this dress flattered my figure. I have broad shoulders and probably should have worn the 10. It is a gorgeous color and length was great with 3 inch heels. Loved IT!!

Fit is too small at the waistband. . So disappointing that fitting a formal dress online is too difficult. Loved the dress otherwise. I wear size size 29 madewell skinny jeans and 29 Frame jeans

Did not wear it. Looked like a bag and was fairly long- just below the knee.
Pretty color green. Just had no real shape. Did not wear

waistline too tight
Could not begin to wear the dress though the fabric and style were to die for. The waist is very small. I wear a 10 JCREW, Lily, and Trina and sometimes an 8. Would have worn the backup 12L however there was an issue with the built in bra and it runs very long . I am 5'7.

Spectacular color! Size 10 JCREW, Lily Trina etc... this size 10 waistband was too snug.
12 R allowed for lots of comfort and movement to dance and added a little length - I wore 4in platform sandals from Vince Camuto. Felt like a princess!
