I have not worn the dress yet but I like the material which is more like a crepe.It is long but when I do have occasion to wear it I will decide whether or not to make it shorter. I am tall so it is a luxury for me to have this option. The sleeves are a good length allowing them to be worn long or turned up.It does come without a belt so I must find one. A leather one would look good with this dress, or maybe a sparkly one for evening wear.
