I did not know I would love this dress as much as I do. (To be fair, I thought I would love it—but it exceeded my hopes!) The georgette fabric is light and airy, and when you twirl, it’s so pretty. No alterations needed. I take a S in the Ellie (although a M is ok too)—I went for M in this and that was the right call. It’s maxi length but no hemming needed (I’m 5’3”). Go for it—she’s gorgeous!
