This dress is great. Super well-made, and very soft Cotton fabric. I was concerned that the slit would part too easily, but there is enough of an overlap that there is no issue with the split flying open while walking.
The waist is elastic and very comfortable. I'm tall, so it hits just about my natural waist. On a shorter woman, it would probably hit at the natural waist, and on a bustier woman, it might be more of an empire waist. It would be cute any of those ways. With my height and how I wear it, the hem hits at my upper ankle.
The colors were very true to the photos. According to the description, the dress isn't lined, but the bodice on mine is lined, which was a nice surprise.
Overall, this dress is a great buy and I'm likely going to get it in some other colors when they are restocked.
