I'm 5'1-2" and actually really like long dresses. I don't think they look bad on me, but others might think they make me look stumpy, I guess.

I think figuring out if you'll like the overall look of a length is certainly easier once you own something in a similar length. For example, after purchasing MC in long, I realized I really liked how dresses this length looked on me. (Sorry for the lack of petti/coord, I'm just demonstrating length)

If you don't want to blindly take the plunge, you can always shoop a photo to get an idea. If you have a dress with a similar bodice, simply put it on and tack on the extra length to the skirt (just by like holding a ruler or something), taking note of where it would hit you. Then take a photo of yourself and extend the lines of the skirt to that point in paint or something to get an idea of the silhouette.
