It looks like a drop waist, but on the hanger it looks nowhere near drop waist. I guess my question is, where would the bodice end? Below, or above the belly button, etc? I'm making a wedding gown, and this is the bodice length/style I would like. I am a newbie to sewing. Thank you!

The skirt of the drop waist dress sits on the hip, not the waist. The picture you sent looks like the dress is right.
So, this is a drop-waist? Sorry, I'm a bit confused. Thank you.
I have never heard of wedding gown bodice term before. I looked it up on the internet and according to the website it says:
"The bodice is the upper part of a wedding gown that sits around the ribcage and connects the neckline, bust and waistline. The fit of the bodice is the most crucial one, because it is the focal point of the wedding and while the lower part has normally a looser or more generous wider style.

It sits on the hip. It seems right.
Yes, I thought so too. Thank you.
I may be reading this incorrectly but is this the dress you are making or is this a photograph of one you like and a style you are trying to copy?
This is just the bodice length I would like on a tulle ball gown that I am making. I don't like long or short bodices, so this one was perfect to me. Thank you.
Sounds like you have a good idea of how you want your dress to look and fit so I hope you will not have any problems making it. Being a newbie may be the best as you will probably pay more attention to every detail and make something you can adapt to using again - after the big day.
