After doing the Try-On (sizes 4,6,8,10), I purchased this in a size 8, 43” length. With the short heel I have to wear, I will still have to alter the length about 2.5 inches. Because none of these dresses come in petite sizing, I am also going to add clear adjustable straps so that I can pull the dress up so it hits me at the waist and hip correctly. If you have a very large chest I would steer clear. For reference, I’m 5’5”, 135 pounds, size 4-6, 32DD, with a short torso (so I typically need a petite in dresses). The Desert Rose color looks deeper on the model in the studio photo but it is definitely not. It is light and flesh-toned (more of a nude color with a pink undertone as compared to the photo of the model outside), so if you are pale, I’d steer clear unless you plan on using a lot of self-tanner.
