I love the full skirt, my son said I looked like a queen. I am 5'2" and the medium sits on top of the ground. Would be a good length if I wore heels, but if I kept it as is, i would likely have hemmed it about 2 inches. I exchanged for a small. I feel it runs a little large maybe so if between sizes, size down. I am typically a true to size medium in dresses but had to return for a small, though might have been my own mistake at not measuring properly the first go round, so give that some thought. Beautiful!
