This dress is a nice, quality material and very pretty but it runs HUGE. I'm usually a size four, but I've gained a few pounds recently, so I went with the size six. It was still way too big for me, and hung almost to the middle of my calves (I'm five five). I was practically swimming in it. The color is very vibrant, almost a golden yellow, which I didn't like either. I would not recommend anyone on the shorter side order this dress.
