I'm 5'8\\\" and similar dresses were way above my knee (far too short) whereas this one was right at my knee. The material is nice feeling, the color is exactly my favorite shade, and it has deep pockets. Of course, if you use the pockets, it changes the hang of the dress, but I'm pleased the they are so large. I'm usually a 12 so the large fits even though I am 7 months pregnant. The high waist is a little snug but not enough to be uncomfortable and it otherwise fits and hangs well. I can see how the neck could hang low if you pulled the waist down toward your actual waist and were small chested, but it isn't an issue for me. I'm very happy with it so far.
