I knew the slip was going to be short based on the reviews I read but ordered anyway. I work black control top undies and felt comfortable about not lengthening the slip. I did get a few comments that I was showing A LOT of leg........... I loved the way the silk flowed when I walked and danced. I did lift the dress while I walked so I wouldn't trip on it as I am six feet tall and wore the 10 Long. Boy was it long! The neckline was super comfortable and I didn't wear a bra. The cut is flattering but I do think you should be tall and slender to rock this particular style.
