Way too short!
I'm 5'5 and 145 lbs and was surprised how short this was on me, maybe a decade ago but not for this late 30s gal

A solid wedding choice!
This is a beautiful, elegant dress! I am self-conscious about my mid-section after 2 babies and thankfully this material was very flattering! I didn't end up wearing because I went with a different option that I liked a little more, but this was in the running. Length was great for my 5'5 frame - not usually a petite but in formal wear it really helps!

Beautiful but tight on the chest!
This dress is elegant and chic, and I almost wore it, but I didn't feel like it was flattering on my chest - it smushed the ladies down quite a bit (I do have a wide rib cage so if you have a smaller upper body frame it might work well), but I feel like if I went up a size it would be too big everywhere else. The length was great for my 5'5 frame, was just above floor length without shoes.

Nothing special
I went with this over a Hill House dress to change things up, but was disappointed. The cut of the straps was not flattering on me (felt they accentuated my shoulders and arms) and the ruffles at the top would not lay properly. Pattern feels a little autumnal which I couldn't tell from the photo.

Pretty but tight at top
Love the dress, but I have a wide rib cage and this was a little snug/unflattering at the top. Looked great paired when paired with a jean jacket!
