I purchased this dress to wear to a wedding this past weekend. As you can see from the picture it is very long at bottom. So for some people, wearing heels alone may not cut it especially if you're short like me (5'2) I had to go get it tailored and it came out beautifully. The only issue I have with the dress was the Rose part which wasn't sitting up properly the way that it should have like how it does in the picture. I used double-sided tape to try to keep it up but I'm guessing that due to the fabric of the dress the folds of the rose part of the dress would not hold up, I had to keep putting it back into place the whole time. Other than that I loved it and received many compliments. It's very comfortable and somewhat stretchy. As shown in the picture you can wear it on your shoulders or off the shoulder, which I did both, but you can't go wrong either way.
