This dress isn't flattering for the short. I'm 5"2 and it hit my ankles and didn't look good.. You need long legs since this dress is sheer so it looks right on people with long legs to show off. It didn't look right on me and my short legs. Its made for women like the girl in the photo. I'm a size 2 ususally but curvy 34D/25/34 measurements, but I ordered a size zero since I size down in club monaco stuff. The top part of this dress doesn't look right if your big busted, its kinda uniboob like. It wasn't flattering, its just not made for my kind of body. The style of the back is pretty but even with a belt clinching the waist, it just fit poorly up top. The model is small chested, with her it looks right. Also the waist was a bit big and I got drowned in fabric from there down. I will say the color is prettier in person than in the photo's. Online it looks kind of lime green, in person its a bit more emerald green, reminds me of that dress in the movie Atonement. Nice color, bad fit
