Dress measures 39 inches to the bottom of the zipper in the front and measures 47 inches to the back. Black dress with silver zipper detailing. Fabric is medium weight and has spandex for stretch. Dress fits true to size. I personally go between size 14-16 and in this dress I preferred my smaller size of 14. There really is no need to go up in size. Poly spandex blend very good weight to the fabric. Ships from Houston Texas.
