I loved this dress! I have been searching for a nice temple dress for so long. I thought I finally found it but it was soooo long! I am 5'4" and it was about 4 inches too long. Based on the pictures of a 5'6" model I thought it would definitely touch the floor but it draped the floor. With the pocket placement and beautiful hem edge, I don't think it would be economic or feasible to shorten.
If you are over 5'6", there might be a chance it won't be too long. If you are less than 5'6", look for a different dress.
