I am only 5 feet tall and when I am done wrapping the dress around my body it is miraculously the perfect length. For flats even. I feel regal in it and you will too. FYI that tangerine color is sold out so I hope you got it in time. I have the long version of this dress in the stunning yellow color.

Marilyn dress about $250. Here is what we discovered, the dress consists of a skirt which is one long wide piece with one seam. the top consists of two wide long sashes for the wrapping. All together only 3 seams to make this dress. If you can't sew have a friend help you. Go to a fabric store and have them serge those 3 seams for you. My sister went to a discount fabric store and for $60 got enough high quality jersey fabric for 2 plus size dresses that would fit size 18-24. Most of these convertible style dresses don't even have finished hems but raw edges.I love Monif C but like all the rest of these convertible style dresses it is way over priced. With a little effort a dream dress could become an affordable reality.

My mom was a sweetheart and bought it for me in short and white(White party for memorial day, White night at our family reunion in July). I've never gotten more compliments in it. Don't be afraid to buy it over the internet. It came to me priority mail, in perfect condition. I must say, don't buy it in white lol...Definitely the orange or the yellow. I don't know how tall you are, but the short one was a touch too long to wear as a skirt around my waist. I feel like the long one will be way too long for you to wear with flats, but I could be wrong. That dress will not fail you!
