I typically don't like longer dresses, but I was shocked it hit me at such a flattering length. The whole dress is extremely comfortable, and I got lots of compliments on it. The reason I'm not giving it 5-stars is two-fold: 1) the waist band is a few inches too high for me, especially if I lift my arms. I tried putting a wider belt over it, but it wouldn't stay put. It's a minor annoyance but not a deal-breaker for me. And 2) even with a lining, the dress is pretty sheer as I expected/feared with such a light-colored dress. The folds in the chest make the bodice feel a little more covered, but my underwear is definitely visible. That said, with a slip, it was fine. So overall, I love the dress even if I wish I could change a couple of things.
