The dress is floor length, shoeswere absolutely perfect with their blingy look. The thigh slit, actually start by your calf and zips up as high as you would like to show. The husband wanted to see it all. The pic is with the slit up as far as can go. Was worried about ordering this style on line as it is body hugging. It fit like a glove and hugged me in all the right places. I was walking on air I felt so beautiful.
