We chose to do the custom measurements and it fit exactly how we needed it to fit. It was not too short and the pockets were a hit. I did have to call customer service and have them put me in contact with the seller. It would have been easier to have a custom option on Amazon and be able to input my numbers. Other than that we loved the dress for homecoming.This was the perfect hoco dress for my teen daughter. We were wary ordering online, without knowing if it would fit, but it’s a perfect fit and looks stunning! Highly recommend, but make sure you use the size chart for a good fit.It was the perfect color and perfect fit. Exactly as pictured. We added the belt for a little bling. We couldn’t find the ties for the back right away. They were tied inside the dress on the hanger straps.
