I think this dress (and probably most of Hill House's dresses) are more suited for taller women. I'm 5'1 and look like I'm drowning in it. Have to wear boots with 4" for this dress to not drag on the ground when I wear it. I might look into getting it hemmed, but there's also the fact my silhouette just looks obscured by tons of fabric. I probably should have sized down but I'm past the return window. :/ but I think this style would look so chic on a tall lady!!
