i love the vintage feel of this dress. i got this in the tea colorway, and it's definitely ivory as pictured. i sized down and it's still not skin tight and fits perfect. i'm 5'3" so this is a tea length for me and i happen to love this length. i find the the shape very flattering as it isn't too wide and it isn't too form-fitting. the ivory looks greatest with contrasting black underneath as it shows off the dots on the mesh. i'm able to wear a bodycon or loose slip underneath, and i can also wear a separate tank top and skirt. i think this is a great piece at this price point. one of my favs.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by CeeCee PRETTY BUT LARGE
I ordered the Ivory color in an X-Small but it is still one size too large for me. However, I can't let this go because it is just too PRETTY. I decided that I'm either going to find a way to make this work for me by trying on different slips, belted, or have it tailored to fit me. The flounced bodice is so sweet, the dotted Swiss fabric is awesome and the black trim at the hem is such a beautiful touch. Because of the flounce at the bodice, I think this will make a better dress than under a dress as a slip. The flounce might add too much bulk. I contemplated on returning this but I will keep it. This is a good price for a unique piece.

sincerelycatt Just bought this today in store...
I tried this on in XS & S in the tea color. It's definitely an off white--I think it gives a vintage feel. I tried it on with one of FP's fitted/skin-tight slips--I love the look...it's sweet & sexy at the same time. I paired it with a white slip...you can just see your curves as the light shines through the mesh material.
When it comes to sizing with FP dresses, I never know what size I am. I feel like they like to put their models in a size larger to give that boho look. I'm 5'6", 109lbs, 32B...XS was more fitted, the S was looser, longer, more material all around, but looked like how it looks on the model: the edge of the top ruffle hits just around your true waist. The XS looked cute too, but I think the S flattered my small boobs better :P
And I agree with another reviewer, the dress length is a little awkward, but I love the dress over all. I might just go back for the indigo one :)
BTW, it also depends on how you want to style it; I'd go smaller if you want to style with pants, otherwise, with a larger size, it'll be long and too much material; it might make you look frumpy. It might be hard to see the difference in the pics, but when I tried them on, I definitely felt and saw the difference.

First of all, there IS NO ERROR! The dress IS the slip. There is no other garment that comes with it to act as another slip. To the person who reviewed before me, I'm sorry to tell you that ordering a second one will not come with a slip. That being said, I am 5'6" 155lbs and have a large bust and wide hips. I DEFINITELY went on a limb ordering this because I thought it would look like a bad mumu. But it doesn't!! It drapes wonderfully and doesn't flare out from your wide parts. The bottom has a slight high-lo effect, and the top ruffle doesn't flare out on large busts. SO pleasantly surprised with the dress. It's just as beautiful in pics. The indigo is prettier in person and the tea is more off white than pictured. I know because I have both now!! SO HAPPY!!

Ordered this in the Indigo color, and looks SO much better in person than the pictures online. My only disappointment was that it did not come with the slip as stated in the product description. Maybe this was just an error, but I ordered a replacement just to be sure. Fingers crossed!

Rated 2 out of 5Â by reigne490 Unfortunate.
Got this in a medium - I'm 5'5", 140 lbs. It was HUGE on me - and I'm comfortable with loose garments. This was just a giant sack, unwearable. Definitely size down at least once, possibly twice.
Also, despite the item description, this did not come with a slip-dress underneath. Very disappointing; the sheer dress itself is so pretty (if massive).
I'll be exchanging this for a small, and returning if I continue to have issues.

i really loved this dress online - glad I was able to try it at my local store. As soon as I put it on I knew it wasn't for me. I think it would look better if you size down (maybe twice) and if you are of a slender/straight build without a large bust. I am curvy with a large (DD) bust and it had a maternity affect and an odd length (for ref. I am 5'7"). Did not come with a slip and for the amount of styling that this would need I didn't think it was worth the price.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by snowyballet very sheer but pretty enough
the tea color looks more like off-white, which doesn't looks like a new piece of clothes color, the dark blue one is prettier! but its very sheer and see-through, you def want to layer a slip underneath
