I wore once and had my son with me at the wedding so it was an early night for me! I did have this altered - I had it hemmed and had the slit lowered to just at the knee. I’m 5’8 and had 2.5 inch heels on so it should still be long enough for most!! There is a small area where the velvet is going the other direction (in pic) but it arrived like that and it was not noticeable to me but want to call out!! I just had this dry clean and no stains or spills!
