I cannot tell you how nice it is to find a maxi dress that doesn't end above my ankles! I'm 5'10" (178cm) and this dress touches the floor when I wear flats. It is a nice thick fabric without being chunky or unflattering, so it is warm and doesn't show the world what colour underwear you are wearing the way thinner dresses do. It looks amazing with a fun belt for some added colour, and is so very comfortable that I'm planning on wearing it for an international flight.
In summary: pretty, modest, good quality and long.
