Read the reviews before purchasing and purchased in two sizes: one size up from my Ellie size and one two sizes up from my Ellie size. If you are petite, it’s not terribly short, both sizes pass the fingertip test, however, watch the arm holes. I returned the dress two sizes bigger than my Ellie size as the arm holes were so large you could see my bra, I wasn’t okay with that and felt like it was a distraction. I kept the dress one size up from my Ellie, fits well, arm holes are much better, the waist is comfortable as well. The material is much thicker than I thought it would be, not a deal breaker, I’m someone who runs warm. Love it!

Thank you Hill House for making this in red. HHH has really nailed it with reds this year. It is a great holiday dress. The bows are indulgent. I love the weight of the fabric. This dress is so well made. The material is so substantial. The lining is luxe.

This is a short dress. I don’t know if I can justify this dress. It would work with opaque black tights but as someone with wide hips, my body shortens it even more. I think it comes down to comfort level. If you are into micro minis you will die for this. If you aren’t, you still might if you put it on. It made me feel elegant.

This is true to street size. I tried sizing up and it was too large. I took my Matilda size instead.
