I only had hem alterations--if you measure from the side (just under the arm) to the floor, it's 50.5 inches (the gauzey layer; the lining is about an inch shorter). Somehow I magically managed to neither spill nor tread upon the dress so it's in totally great condition. If there are any stains or discolorations or tears, I couldn't find them at all. I'm about 5' 4" and I wore this with flats very happily.
I'm happy to accept either escrow.com or paypal.
