I loved how tan this dress made me feel!

As someone larger on e top, strapless dresses make me nervous sometimes but this fit well and didn't fall down much throughout the night. Big hit!

Perfect bridal shower dress!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Party

I wore this for my bridal shower. The dress was adorable and I received so many compliments. It was a tiny bit big up top, which was surprising to me since I'm so busty, but it may also have been because I've been losing weight for the wedding.

After all of the excitement of recruitment, I couldn't wait to get my dress for Preference Round! It was awesome getting a gorgeous dress and I got tons of compliments--It felt great standing out in a sea of white dresses!

I wore this for our sorority's Preference Round in Recruitment. The flower lace details made this white dress stand out from all of the others. I'm usually a very comfortable size 6, but this was a little tight around the chest area b/c of the bodice. It still fit great and I wouldn't have gone a size bigger. Overall I loved it! Coincidentally, my Big wore it too!

Beautifully made dress. Ordered my normal size in Lilly and a size up but this was way too tight and way too long so I didn't even wear it-sent it back the next day-what a waste

Cute dress but it is cut very slim. I couldn't zip it up so had to send it back.

Beautiful, classy dress!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

Loved the dress! I was supposed to receive the dress in an 8 and 10. However, only an 8 was sent. It was a little too snug for comfort. My event was a Kentucky Derby themed cookout, so I wanted to be comfortable. The 10 would have been perfect! Ending up not wearing the dress, but it is definitely a great choice for anyone who wants to look casual and classy!

I wish this was more fitted on the hips. Kind of a thicker fabric.

I wore this dress to my rehearsal dinner in VT. I was scared it was going to be very long but it hit right above the knee and wasn't awkwardly too long. It was very cute and flattering, however, the material is very heavy so not the best for a very hot day. The "lace" was very thick, but it made the dress look very well made. I loved it!

Such an adorable dress! I wore this to a charity cocktail party in Nantucket, and the dress was a smash hit! I have a fuller bust, and had to go a size up to a 6 even though I normally wear a 2/4 in order to wear a bra. Highly recommend

Definitely do not rent if you are a pear. I went up a size to match my hips and it was still too tight. Bust was huge. Nice design, poor cut.

Very cute dress. I loved the weight of the dress. It was well made and not flimsy. I was never worried it was going to fall down. It fit well and I received a number of compliments on this dress. So glad I rented it!

Absolutely adorable dress - the feel of the fabric was very nice (soft, textured). This would be perfect for a spring/summer event, courthouse wedding, bridal shower, or reception. I think this would have looked better on me if my bust (34B) was a little more generous, but it wasn't unmanageable. The size 0 fit great in the bust, the size 2 fit great in the hips...if only there was some combo for that size it would have been perfect for me.
