This dress is very stretchy and has pockets but is also very long. I typically wear a size extra small or teen size 14/16 in Matilda Jane so I’m not sure why I thought it would work. So this has been worn inside my home one or twice , but never outside of the house. My loss is your gain. The measurement from the shoulder down to the bottom of the dress is approximately 54 1/2 when laid flat, but the dress is stretchy and a little heavy so when wearing, it’s probably an inch or two longer than that.
