1. Based on the other reviews, I was a little disappointed when trying this on... it looked a little plain. Now, this could be because I was trying it on in the dimly lit bathroom at work haha. Tonight I'll be trying it on at home with heels and my hair down. 2. It's really short on me. Granted, I'm 5'10 and should have known after reading the reviews, but the website said the model was 5'10. That's just not true at all! It hits about 3 inches above the floor. I have these amazing sparkly, beaded 3 inch heels I wanted to wear, so I'm thinking I'll just try to "own it" and draw attention to the heels... pretend it's supposed to be more tea length. I hope it works! You fake it, you make it right? I'll submit photos after the event.
