I am 5'4" and my dress was altered to hit the floor in 4" heels. I fell in love with this dress because it is so flattering and hides the tummy area to make you feel beautiful. The back beading and shoulder beading was to die for. I had cups added at alteration for a perfect fit with no bra needed. I have a bustle that was added in the back to make a stunning back whether up or down with easy transition if you want it down for the walk down the aisle and up for the reception. I also bought a gorgeous belt which added the perfect finishing touch for my style. You can leave it without for a gorgeous classic look or add the belt for a little extra sparkle.
