Purchased 16W black, I'm 5 '6 1/2 and it just sits on top of my toes. Perfect length for me with flat sandals or heels. The chest is fine with my smaller cup size. I purchased one size larger and I suggest you should if you have thicker arms and a higher/big belly to hide due to its cut. Gives you the wiggle room if you don't want it too snug. Others had problems (from reviews) on this part, I gather it maybe due to smaller arms/belly. So purchase to your size might be an idea if this is your case. Flowy

Very comfortable and fits as I expected.

Lovely dress fitted great and love the addition of the pockets. Comfortable and easy to wear. Very pleased

The dress fits as expected, but the pockets add some extra bulk near my hips.

Bought this for my granddaughters 18th birthday. She loved it.
