The dress I received did not have a shorter underlayer like the picture. The shorter layer is what made the dress unique to me. I reordered the dress thinking perhaps I received a defective dress. The second dress had the same problem. I also ordered the dress in peabock blue and that one looked just like the picture. I would not recommend this dress in black as it may be counterfeit.I love love this dress. I bought an extra large but the bust was still too tight. I would definitely wear the next size up. Had to return it.I should have read the reviews before purchasing. Slip is length of dress. Not as pictured which makes it look frumpy. Do not believe this dress is authentic. Returning.This firm's size small runs very small...I always order a size larger and go for alterations.Fabulous Designers...!!Love this firm!Beware, this has to be a knock off!!!! This looks nothing like it was pictured. Usually a quality brand, but this is hideous. Other reviews suggested sizing up so I ordered a medium when I am usually a small. It fits like a 2xl!!! This cannot be the same dress. So disappointed. Instant return.The dress is Beautiful!It fits perfectlyLining is to bottom of skirt on dress I received. Picture shows it shorter than mesh overlay. Wondering if this is a not the real designer dress? Will be returning. Also ordered medium and it was too small. I'm 5'7", 123lbs. Gave it 3 stars because it still is a nice dress just not as pictured.This dress is very pretty, but the size chart is wrong, you definitely need to size up if you have a bigger bust.I bought a medium because of what the chart said and I could not zip it up at all, I'm a 36DD and the chart said 37.5 to 38, so I thought it would be a good fit, returned and received the large, it's still a little snug but I can zip it up because the fabric has a little stretch. Hope this helps.Previously worn! Poor condition!!
