This dress is amazing, so much prettier and sparklier than it looks in the photo. I wore it to a sorority date party and literally everyone that I talked to/walked by complimented the dress! It definitely stands out, in the best way possible. So chic and fabulous, it's the perfect length for shorter girls. I'm 5'2" and it didn't feel like it was too short at all. It may be too heavy to wear on a hot night but otherwise I loved this dress so much I considered buying it at retail price!
