It's cute and I got a lot of compliments.  But it's scratchy and not so comfortable to wear.  The blue slip layer kept moving up so I felt that I had to keep pulling it down. 

I wore this dress for my Dad's birthday celebration which turned out to be my surprise bridal shower.  It was great and everyone loved my dress.  I wore it with black stockings and black booties  I ordered a medium and large, ended up wearing the large underlay and medium overlay.  It worked out perfectly!  It's very true that the fit is very tight around the arms.  Unless you have thin or toned arms, the sleeve will fit tight.  I made it work and it looked nice.  

Tight around the bust. Perfect length but was slightly short on me.

What size did you get? I am a 10 in dress size it seems that we are about the same size. I love this dress and just wanted to get your opinion! Thank you!

This dress caught my eye immediately and I couldn't believe it was such a low cost rental! It's a 2- piece with the cobalt blue slip and separate black netting piece. The size L slip fit perfectly while the netting was a slightly big and bunched up in my back area, but the medium wouldn't go over my head. The sleeves & chest are tight, I could only raise my arms to chest height, so this is not a dress to dance in. The netting is a bit itchy, but I totally forgot about it as the night wore on.

It's a little short so I wore it with black tights and black heels. the overlay is a little itchy, but  I really didn't notice after a cocktail. I chose to wear it with a strapless bra since the straps of the underlay blue dress don't line up exactly with your typical bra. Very pretty, very sophisticated dress. Definitely recommend it. 

The dress is beautiful to wear. I am about 50 yrs old and felt very youthful and fashion forward even while being age appropriate.  Just be aware that the inner blue slip has some give, the sheath is unforgiving. I wore the small inner slip and had extra room, but the small sheath has extremely small armholes that barely came over my biceps, and not much give across the chest and shoulders; I couldn't zip it over my 36" chest. So I put on the medium sheath, which was fine, if just a little roomy in the waist. Another small note - the bottom edge of the sheath is 'raw cut' tulle, meaning it is not a smooth hem. It looks awesome, but it sort of made little scratch marks onto my stockings. Nonetheless the dress was abosolutely gorgeous and the compliments kept on flowing. I highly recommend this dress. I would rent it again.

I wore this to a birthday dinner followed by drinks at a hotel. This dress is great because you can play it up or down with the accessories you choose. The small fit me in the slip and overlay but the overlay was a bit stiff so I wore the medium which had the perfect amount of room to be comfortable. I have a hard time finding things that fit in my hips but this was perfect; not too loose, not too tight. It was chilly that night so I wore opaque black tights and black suede pumps. I steered away from carrying an ornate clutch or big jewelry because I thought the design on the dress spoke for itself. This is a great dress with a lot of options. 

The rich royal blue lining was very eye-catching!! I would agree with the other review that the straps were placed in a bit of an unconventional way.  The lining is separate from the dress and hugged the body while the sheer overlay had a bit more room.  The design on the overlay is very unique and definitely makes this dress stand out among the crowd.  

This beautiful Palace Sheath dress caught my eye on the RTR website when it was first introduced.  I loved the rich royal blue and the sheath over the top really made it special.  I received many compliments when I wore this for our annual employee banquet; my coworkers said it was really pretty as I crossed the stage.
The royal blue sheath underneath has some stretch to it.  The thin straps are adjustable, but they are placed a bit awkwardly and my bra straps ended up crossing over them.  If they were more in line with my bra it would have looked bit nicer.  The black sheath is a separate piece worn over the top.  It is sort of a tulle type material which has no stretch and is a bit stiff.  My arms are not exactly thin and willowy so the sleeves were a snug fit.  Luckily I didn't have to move my arms around or up/down very much during the event!
Btw, my coworker is wearing Shoshanna's "Love Affair" dress from RTR!


How was the length? I'm 5'9 and worried it will be too short. 

The unique look of this style reflects the amount of detail put into the design of this dress! Overall it fit true to size while the outside layer had a little more room than the lining, adding to the fun sheer overlay effect! I paired it with the Mod Squared Necklace and a simple gold earrings.
