Broad ruffles frame the shorter front of the grey-green dress and continue into the longer back. They make the edge of the skirt a strong design feature. The bodice looks quieter by comparison and ends at a defined waist. Pale shoes remain visible below the open front. Read the ruffles as part of the complete silhouette; their photographed shape does not reliably establish the weight or stiffness of the actual fabric.
Check the actual fit
Walk a few steps and sit in a similar dress. Check where the longer back and side ruffles fall. Then try an outer layer and assess whether the relationship between the quiet bodice and more active hem still gives you the balance you want.
Use the image to compare visible shapes, then check comfort, alterations and product information on the real garment. A photograph does not replace a fitting.
