Love this dress! Beautiful color and the image is actually lace sewn onto the dress. I am 5'4" and had to hem up two inches to keep it just barely off the floor. (Fortunately, the hem the dress comes with is fairly straight, so this was pretty quick.) The edge of the sleeves have plastic sewn on the edge, probably to keep its shape, but (a) that didn't really work, (b) it was unneeded, and (c) it doesn't look good.
It came really quickly. I let it hang for a few days and that took care of the wrinkles pretty well. It can be ironed! I used a low setting (for the hemming).
I used a three-hoop petticoat with it, but it could definitely work with a larger one.
