I wore this dress to my senior prom...but it was absolutely gorgeous and can be worn to any other gala, formal, etc. Really the only damage is the hem. There is a slight train. It is a size 6 but is from the juniors section so it fits more like a 4. Measurements: Top to bottom (front) (shoulders to hem): 5' Top to bottom (back) (shoulders to train hem): 5' 5" Waist: Approx 25-26"
