Stunning!!!!!
5.17.2013-
"I absolutely love this slip! It is very feminine and dainty. Your can dress it up or dress it down. I'm 5'2 and the length was just right because I was a little worried that it would be too long since I'm on the shorter side of the height spectrum. It is totally worth to buy."

Hangs beautifully!
5.10.2013-
"This slip is very feminine and hangs beautifully - the uneven layers give it so much character! Works perfectly with the seamless mini, and quite sheer enough that with a few different colors of the minis you can accessorize it differently, which makes it great for the price. I'm 5'5", 109 lbs and the S fit me nicely, though I do have a large chest and need the extra stretch in that area, so that may be why I wouldn't personally consider sizing down. I got the tea, but had a hard time choosing!"

"I had wanted to purchase this item for a while and finally decided to buy it. I chose the grey since my skin has a cooler tone and it looks perfect. The fit is just right. I am someone who adores long romantic dresses and was very happy to find this item. It's a lot of fun and matches my personality quite to perfection."

Absolutely AMAZING!
4.29.2013-
"This has to be one of my most favorite slips I own from FP. I ordered it in the tea color in a size small originally, but it was too small in the back (instead of a V shape it made a U!) so I got the medium instead. I am a 32F so I had to size up for my chest. I am 5'2 138lbs and a muscular body type. I am usually between a small and medium in FP, but usually just have to size up for my chest :/ Other reviews from people my height said that the dress was too long, but it is like 1/2 inch away from the floor when I wear converse. The only time I find myself stepping on the dress is when I go up stairs haha! BUY THIS DRESS!!!"

Amazing!

"Highly recommend this dress!!! Favorite free people purchase by far. I am about 5'6" and 130 pounds and I got a size M, but am thinking about returning for a size Sm. There is a lot of stretch to the lace, and the medium hits at about my ankles. I got the tea color which is gorgeous in person. This dress is going to be my go-to summer festival dress, and I am so excited for the weather to warm up so I can wear it!"

Lots of layers of love and lace

"I was obsessing about this dress so much after seeing it in the April catalog, I bought both colors! I am 5'7" and 120lbs, so I got my normal XS...it fit perfectly. And though I thought I would love and have more use for the grey, I found myself loving the romantic look and feel of the ivory. I ended up returning the grey because it was just kind of drab on me...it didn't pop like the ivory. It is one of those pieces that will live in your wardrobe forever...worth every penny!! I have a thousand and one ideas on how I will wear it...can't wait!!! :)"

LOVE this dress
4.16.2013-
"I am so glad I bought this dress. It is so light and pretty, I got a medium, I'm 5'5 135lbs, a little curvy/athletic, fits perfectly. I could wear a small bc its very stretchy but this one sits perfect, very very comfortable. I was worried the cap sleeve wouldn't be flattering on my not super skinny arms but its not tight at all, looks good. The dress is lace, completely see through but looks cute with a tank dress or little shorts underneath, it's cool that you can switch up the color you wear under it to give it different looks. Will be wearing all the time with sandals and boots!"

fantastic
4.15.2013-
"I was hesitant at first since it doesn't look like an everyday dress but I got it in grey anyways. It was fantastic! I'm 5"4 100lbs and it fits perfectly. It's not too dressy since the color is low-toned so i can actually wear it to the park with some sweater on the top or just wear a slip underneath for a beach outing.
most romantic dress i bought for the year, so far so good!"

Gorgeous for a wedding or a beach party

"I received this in the cream color and I LOVE IT! I am super curvy and I usually need an XL in FP. I got this in the largest size, L, just in case. It works perfectly. It is completely see-thru. I expected this from the pic and other reviews. If a woman wanted to wear all cream/white undergarments, this dress could be a wedding dress. I am going to wear it to church with celadon green cami and footless tights....and a lot of long chains. I will wear my light brown booties. I JUST LOVE THIS AND AM GETTING IT IN THE DARK COLOR NOW!"

victorian perfection
4.10.2013-
"I ordered the tea color in an xs, and it is divine! I am 5'3, 108lbs, 34b, 35hips, 25in waist and this wears perfectly with flat boots for my height which I am so excited about since I love wearing boots with dresses/shorts/skirts. I am insane over this dress, there are so many options with how you can wear this dress, its amazingly versatile! You can easily dress this up or down with boots, heels, flats... etc... I actually flipped my around and wore the back as the front - just clip of the tag ladies... I'm actually wearing it today with the black seamless slip, Victorian necklace, and my frye flat boots. I'm next planning to wear this with a caged spike heel and a leather vest to switch up the look a little. You can also throw a slouchy sweater over it or even a cropped one fitted and it would look super cute... as I said if you are wondering how to wear this dress just visit your closet and get to play time! love love love - buy it!"

We cannot get enough of the French Courtship Slip - it really is so versatile, and what a fabulous styling suggestion to turn it around to change up the look! This sounds like it will get a lot of wear, which we absolutely love! xoxo

Beautiful and Versatile
4.8.2013-
"I bought this dress in Cool Grey and the first compliment I got was: "Wow that dress is like something I have never seen before, it is beautiful." That pretty much sums up the dress. The triangular layers of lace really make any woman look slimmer paired with the fitted top area. Since it is see through at the top and pretty sheer at the bottom still, I would recommend pairing it with a fun body con dress underneath. I bought some maxi tank dresses to wear underneath as well and they look great. Definitely worth the money!"

"If you are eyeing this, think no more: get it you won't regret it. The color is beautiful and the lace is stretchy and soft. Now I only have to find a cardigan to wear with it because there is no way I ca wait until summer! It runs a bit large so if you are in between sizes, size down."

"I fell in love with the girl wearing the first picture of this slip in tea and it didn't disappoint! I'm a S on top, 27 on bottom and got in in an xs. It fits like a perfect glove. Not too tight, but hugs every curve. Gorgeous piece; I'm SO happy with it!"

Fabulous dress
4.5.2013-
"I saw this dress and immediately fell in love with it, but I was concerned about the quality/feel of the lace without feeling it first. But I took a chance and am so happy I did. It is the best feeling-super silky---it's just gorgeous--I can't wait to wear it! It will also be awesome over black leggings & boots with a little black velvet riding jacket for winter :)"

Wow!
4.5.2013-
"This arrived in the mail today and I immediately tried it on and then commenced playing in my closet for the rest of the afternoon. Its like this was made just for me (TTS by the way, I'm also 5'9" so the length was perfect). Its so versatile too. When I first tried it on, I had some brown Steve Madden floppy boots on from last year and a chocolate brown body suit on that I had under one of the New Romantics tops over, so I took that off and threw this dress over the body suit and... Voila!... I had this victorian/French modern bad girl look going on... which looked so amazing! After that, I threw a blue jean jacket over it, then tried various slips, and different tops that I could tie at the waist and it all worked. This went on for a couple of hours! I won't even go into all the jewelry and shoe options. I really can't wait to wear it for realsies!"
