The 4P was perfect length for my height (5'2") and 3 inch heels; while barefoot dancing I made sure to lift the dress. The cut and style is flattering and casual, I made sure to wear spanx as it is form fitting.

Many reviews suggested to size up because of a fitted bottom half, and I'm glad I did. It's a great dress to rent if you aren't sure of the events formality. I was able to dress it down with tights, boots and a belt, but had planned to dress up with a statement necklace and heels if needed. It hit just above my knees (5'2") and was a great conservative option for a curvy body-type.

This dress looked great with a jean jacket, heeled sandals on indoors, and was fun for an outdoor backyard graduation party with flats. The back is high enough for a strapless bra, I would suggest sizing down-- I'm normally a 4 and could have gone with the 2 as the top had room to spare (32D). The full skirt fell right above the knee (5'2") but was modest and comfortable with pockets for a family party. The fabric is a thick cotton that can get heavy in the summer.

I'm normally a size four. I could have worn the small--but felt most comfortable in the medium for a curvier bottom, definitely roomy on top.
