Wore dress for Eliot Ness Festival, 1920's costume. I am short, 5'3", and age 50+. Dress was perfect for my age since it fit me more as a full length dress. I was glad to have a simple sleeve. I added long black gloves and gave it a more mature look. Dress was very comfortable. I ordered one size larger and did not need to zip. I could put on and off over my head. It was extra roomy and I wasn't miserable in the heat. Fabric did not stick to me. Fringe wasn't in the way. Very happy I chose this See full review
