I am 5 ft tall so it's very hard to find maxi dresses that don't need to be hemmed. These dresses are the perfect length with my wedges - hits right at the floor! (Which is the type of shoe I usually wear with the maxi dresses I do have) If I wanted to wear sandals I would have to make a little side knot to keep it from dragging. I have already ordered the dress in other colors - along with my height, I am about 140, size C/D in bras and I ordered a medium. It fits great at the top, not too tight or loose
