fit: Maxi length is 152 cm (59.75") from the top of the shoulder, so it may run long on petite frames.

Why and when to choose each product
This product Scarf-Neck Paisley Chiffon Dress Self-Portrait simons.ca	Same brand Poplin Polka Dot V-Neck Dress Self-Portrait simons.ca	Same brand Polka-Dotted Ruffled Tiered Maxi Dress Self-Portrait simons.ca
Scarf-Neck Paisley Chiffon Dress: Choose this if you are looking for a statement maxi dress in Navy/Midnight Blue featuring a paisley print and metallic highlights. This Self-Portrait piece includes a high scarf-style tie neck, smocked detailing across the bodice, and a full-gathered skirt reaching 152 centimeters (59.75 inches). As the dress is made of 100% polyester chiffon, areas such as the sleeves and skirt panels are visibly semi-transparent.^[1,2,3,4]	Poplin Polka Dot V-Neck Dress: Choose this if you want a nostalgic, fitted polka-dot midi dress: it pairs a black-on-white dot print with a deep V-neck wrap-style crossover bodice, a low curved drop waist, and a full gathered A-line skirt that falls below the mid-calf, all in soft, crinkling pure cotton poplin with side seam pockets and a concealed back zip. The hem sits at a midi length (about 47.25 inches or 120 cm from the top of the shoulder) and the dress comes in sizes 2 through 12, though the merchant advises using the United Kingdom column of the size conversion table to find your fit. Image descriptions also differ on the sleeves, describing the dress as both sleeveless and with very short cap sleeves, so check the photos if shoulder coverage matters to you.^[5,6]	Polka-Dotted Ruffled Tiered Maxi Dress: Choose this if you want a romantic, retro-chic navy polka-dot maxi in light georgette crepe, with tiered ruffles, sheer long sleeves, a laced V-neckline, an elastic waist, a high-low hem, and a removable full-length liner. It has a relaxed fit and measures about 46.75 inches (119 cm) from the shoulder. One reviewer found the torso so long that she needed a tailor to alter it, so consider fit carefully if you are under roughly 6 feet tall.^{[7,8,9,10,11,12]}
