Dress length question (with pic)

I'm thinking of trying this dress for the wedding I have in November, but I have to order it since my size is not in any nearby stores.

The description says it is 39.5" long, and that seems sooo long to me. I'm only 5'2". What do you think? Will it be way too long on me? How tall do you think the model is?

People who are short, what length dress do you find is best for you (short dress, hitting near the knee)?

Re: Dress length question (with pic)

I'm 5'1 and I need everything tailored, I have short torso. I think that model is close to 6'. Look at the size of her head, average person has 6-7 head lengths to their body length. She looks like she has 8.

I wear dresses at least an inch about the knee. It makes my legs look long and makes me look taller.

At the knee, depends on the cut, but typically, I stay away from that.

Tailoring that dress would be tricky, I avoid fancy hems.
