this is casual, right?

you look great...i'd say something green and chunky or else white and chunky for jewelry...and strappy for shoes. or else, chunky platforms like the ones from chloe. with these accessories, you can dress it up or down. perhaps a cute cropped cardigan for the summer? check out ShopBop's lookbook for ideas.

that's adorable on you. i'd go for green, gold or dark brown strappy heels OR wedges whatever your preference depending if you are trying to make it more or less casual or dressy. and then i would do either gold hoops and a big bangle or two OR some long thin necklace(s). cute dress!

At 5'1", it's definitely too long. It's going to make you look shorter. Those long dresses are made for Amazonian-type women who are 5'9"+. For us ladies who don't have 9-mile-long legs, the ankle-grazing summer dresses aren't the best choice.

The shape on you on the torso is very flattering, though. I would just prefer it more if it were hemmed to where the second yellow ribbon is.

I think that if you are petite you can pull the long dress off, and I think this looks great on you!

thank you All about your inputs
Jan255: that's what i thought about long dress- but i've ask many people and they said long dress on petite people actually really good.
i also got inspired by Nicole R. she is about my height, my weight and they look so nice on them...

I think it's a cute dress if you're traveling abroad during the summer months, but I wouldn't wear it in the city.

I think it looks nice on you and that strappy sandals in a neutral color would compliment the look. I would avoid any busy accessories as the dress has is long and has a lot going on in the print.

That dress looks really nice on you! And you got it for such a bargain- you look like a million bucks!!!

I would accessorize with some white, to help bring out some of the white on the dress- make it stand out. Maybe some white flats or sandals and some chunky bracelets. I wouldn't wear a big necklace just not to take away from the pretty dress.
