Petite sizing

How high above the ground does it hit? Does it have a lot of tulle underneath? Taking out some of the tulle would let the skirt lay flatter and hit closer to the ground

Don't know how to help you with measurements and what you should do about that but the dress itself is lovely . Congratulations on finding the dress you loved

Ask the store to help with measurements but get any alterations done elsewhere for much less money. When you do get alterations done, make sure you wear whatever shoes you will have at the reception, if you plan to switch out of heels. If you go from heels to flats, your dress will drag and get stepped on.

If you're planning to switch to flats then you're probably fine with the petite size. I'd ask the shop for their recommendations to see which would ultimately be the best option based on the heel height and how long you'll be wearing the heels.

If I wear heels, it would hit just above the ground (this was using a tape measure though)

I would be sad taking tulle out Actually, I wanted to add more tulle so maybe that will make the dress shorter too. Thank you for making that point
