Purchased for bday outfit, looked great for the price. True to size but Was a little short so if you have a big booty like me, size up

I'm usually a large, Im 5'4 168 LBS, size 13 jeans, & had to buy a 1X to fit comfortably. I had to return the dress twice before finding a good fit because the length is SO SHORT. I didn't think it would be so short based off the picture with the model but the large fit me like a t shirt, the XL fit but I could not bend over or you would've seen everything! 👀 , now I have the 1X, the length is good but certain areas are little bit loose, but I'm willing to get it tailored because this is my birthday dress 😁
