Waaaay too long
This dress is lovely but recommended for 5'2" and up--and I'm 5'0"..I was literally mopping the floor with the hem so opted for a GREAT tea-length dress from RTR that worked for my event. My only warning is the length..otherwise it's a good dress and would work for anyone taller than I am

Mardi Gras winner
At 5'0" I feared every dress I ordered would be too long--and I was right. But this tea-length worked perfectly to give that long-dress look and feel. Plus the gold was glimmery and attracted much (good) attention and a zillion compliments. People asked where I'd found it (the party required Mardi Gras colored dress of either gold, purple or green which was a challenge). I proudly told them RTR.

Two-time winneVery elegant dress for black-tie events. I got compliments galore
Everything runs long on me, so this was no surprise..but with heels, I did well, scooping it up when I had to go up stairs, etc..the top is perfect for small busted women (I loved the internal "strap" which kept it feeling tight. I did NOT tug to keep the dress in place all night. There was good movement to the gown. Simple but just right. It does scream for a necklace, so be ready. I also added a turquoise wrap (the room was freezing!) and that pop of color enhanced the look. This was my first RTR experience and I'll be back. (UPDATE: I re-ordered this dress a year later and it worked just as well--different people at the new party so why not?)

Dress lives up to its photo. Very elegant.
I chose this as a backup dress and ordered a 2 (the 0 was not available). The top was way too big, so obviously a 0 would've been more perfect for me. However, the dress is great and I recommend it. As always, it was a bit long--but when you're 5'0", everything runs long.
