This dress has a sexy slit on the side but in the second pic you can see I wore it with tights. Im also 5'8 and the length ends at my ankles. Super soft knit. Maybe more of a mock neck and its not tight if that bothers you. I dont like turtle necks normally but I was fine with this. Worn once. No holes, rips or stains. Feel free to leave a comment with any questions and I am open to considering offers! Comes from a smoke free, pet free home.
