So it is obvious that 1) the dress is see-through and 2) there's an inner slip for mitigating that. But wow - unless worn over a swimsuit near the beach, I cannot see myself going out in this without a self-supplied additional slip. Your undergarments are on display (every seam, ridge and line from your bra and undies), and your legs' outline. Sizing, this is kind of typical of A.L.C. (i.e. fits smaller than other designers in the price range). The rayon fabric doesn't stretch that much and so makes it that much smaller. In particular, it's a pull-over entry, no zipper - which is really kind of wrong for something this restrictive. It's very puzzling that this one, sans zipper, is actually $100 more expensive than another white rayon A.L.C. which does have a zipper (albeit that dress is knee-length and not tea length, but that doesn't add to the cost that much). I like the design, I'm just not sure it was executed as it should've been.

The dress is very pretty but runs small..I read that and ordered a small and a med for that reason. I was going to keep the med but I noticed a snag when I put it on to wear it, so I am returning them both, but would gladly take another med in exchange if you have it

Runs smaller then expected. A very Snug, body fit due to slip under neath dress. But the outer layer of the dress is very full from the knees down. In the picture if appears to be straight, but it actually flares out and has a sway about it. I wished it was straight all the way down. A beautiful well made dress, but I did not like the fullness on the bottom. I am 5'2 and the xs fit nicely.
