Wearing A Modest Dress

Question

 Is it permitted to wear a dress that in the front is more than 15 cm below the knees and in the back reaches down to the ankles? The neckline is properly closed, the sleeves are long, the fabric is not tight or see-through, and the dress overall is not form-fitting. The color is light mocha, and there is also an optional thin tie belt at the waist. 

Answer

Shalom uVracha,

 A noticeable difference in the length of a garment is considered a problem in tzniyus (modesty).
