Perfect for a southern steeplechase tailgating party!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Party

I was pretty happy with the dress. It was perfect for the occasion and was generally comfortable. I did feel that it was a little too snug in the bodice and needed assistance to zip it up. The other size I ordered was 4, so I am not sure how the 8 would have fit. I also loved being able to ship it to my destination (BOS - BNA) - thanks RTR!

Great day dress!

Size worn: 2

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

The dress fit pretty true to size. I could have worn the 2 or the 4 but the 4 was a bit loose in the top and I think the fitted bodice was flattering. The dress isn't quite as shiney as it looks in the photos online so it was a bit more causal than i thought. It still looked nice dressed up with gold sandals but it also would look nice with more casual shoes.

This Lilly Pulitzer dress was the perfect choice for Easter Sunday

Size worn: 12

Overall fit: Small

Rented for: Other

This dress was incredibly comfortable, was a nice length, and paired well with my pearls and nude heels. I ordered the 10 and the 12 but ended up wearing the 12 because I have a broad rib cage and shoulders, so the 10 was a little bit snug. I would definitely rent this dress again.

Great fun dress!

Size worn: 8

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Date

The dress was wonderful. It fit me perfectly. I don't mind a little boning and a smaller bust area. The structured top fit like a T. The skirt was very flirty and short, but not the point where I had to worry about anything. The fabric is just that, fabric. Nothing special there, but the pattern and colors are very pretty and feminine. Loved the dress!

Sweet, flirty, modest dress - Perfect for a family wedding!

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: Large

Rented for: Wedding

I wore this dress for my wedding rehearsal dinner and it worked beautifully. I received a ton of compliments. I went a size smaller because the waist in the 8 is a little big for me. It's definitely not designed for busty hourglass women, but it looked just fine in the smaller size (although it was a little tight in the bust all night). With a pair of heels, this is a great dress to show off legs without looking too sexy. Also, as many women mentioned, the fabric is much more casual than it looks on the model. It's a very soft cotton. So if you're going to a formal cocktail party, this might not be the dress. But for our tiki-hut, sunset beachside dinner (or for a daytime-garden wedding), it was perfect.

Perfectly pretty and appropriate!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Other

This dress was absolutely perfect! I rented it to wear to my boyfriend's graduation which was in LA in May so it was pretty warm. The top of the dress is pretty tight and the fabric is cotton and not very stretchy so definitely make sure you pick your correct size and if you have a larger bust think about sizing up. I have broader shoulders and a broader back and the zero was pretty snug on me, i would get the 2 next time. The color and the floral print is so pretty and much more interesting and intricate in person. I wore it with nude stripy heels and it was great, i felt really pretty and sexy yet totally appropriate to be around parents etc. The length is not too short and not too long, I'm 5'6" and it fell nicely above the knee.

Not just a run of the mill cocktail dress!

Size worn: 0

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

Perfect for a summer wedding, I felt so confident all night. The added double-stick tape made it feel very secure. Very comfortable, and I loved the colors! Normally with strapless Lilly dresses I have to hike them up at the bust most of the time, but with the double stick tape and the cut of this dress, I was dancing the night away!

Cute, skirt part too bubble hemmed

Size worn: 6

Overall fit: True to Size

Rented for: Wedding

I thought this dress was very cute in person. The one thing I didn't like about it was the hem. It kind of created this mushroom/ bubble hem kind of look. The picture of the model doesn't reflect that. I still liked the dress enough to wear it.

This was the maid of honor dress my friend picked out for her wedding. I didn't have to worry about it falling down or having to adjust it all night, which was an odd experience with a strapless dress. It was so much fun to wear.

I ordered an 8 in this dress and it fit perfectly! It was tight enough that I didn't have to wear a bra with it but loose enough that I felt comfortable all day. The dress stayed in place while I was dancing and was so low maintenance. I didn't want to take it off!

Size worn: 4

Overall fit: True to Size

It fit very well, I usually wear a 4 and the 4 fit perfectly. The only thing I would say is that it looks almost like a silky material in the picture, its not I think it was more of a cotton. Also, at the bottom it is shaped to be almost wavy. Not that either of these things were bad, I still loved it but just some things I did not pick up from the picture!

Great dress. It fit like I expected. The bodice was very fitted--so if you're not sure of your size in Lilly dresses, I'd suggest definitely ordering two. The skirt was flared but not too poofy. It was flattering. The pictures on RTR made the fabric look a little shinier than it is. The dress is regular cotton--but dressy enough for a wedding. I wore hot pink shoes with it and put on a blazer when it got chilly outside.

I rented the dress for my 21st birthday dinner with my parents. While the dress fit nicely and was perfect for the occasion it was not the dress I originally ordered with my free dress rental code. I was a bit disappointed that they sent me this dress without notifying me that my order had been changed and also that the dress seemed a little bit faded but was still pretty.

I rented this dress for a June wedding and absolutely loved it. My dress size is between an 8 and a 6 so I ordered an 8 and a 6 as my back-up size. I am a 36 C bra size and could not fully zip the size 6. I wore the 8 and it fit perfect and was very flattering. I want to own this dress!

I wore this to my friend's wedding and received many compliments on it. It's an extremely flattering fit - especially if you're more hourglass shaped. The blue color is beautiful and the red and pink flowers make it really easy to match with either red or pink accessories and the boning allowed me to get away without wearing an uncomfortable strapless bra. Since I'm shorter, the dress hit me just about an inch or two above my knees, so it wasn't quite as casual looking as on the tall model. I loved it!

i loved this dress and would absolutely rent again! i wore it for a rent the runway trunk show at George Washington University! in fact, i am in the process of purchasing this dress from the lilly website in a different pattern! i felt this dress ran true to size, i normally wear a size 6 (i have a D cup size) and so i ordered a 6 with a backup size 8 and i fit into the 6 perfectly! i did however wear this dress for easter, and after a meal the dress got quite snug so i might order a larger back up size if you are planning on an eating night out! but all in all the dress was beautiful and fit great, i got many compliments!

I found this dress for her and she not only loved it but it really looked beuatiful on her. I felt it was very age appropriate too!

I rented this dress for Easter and was really happy with the way it worked out. The dress has a really nice fit up top and then on the bottom it is not fitted at all. It looks as though there is a petticoat under the dress but it is just the way it falls. I got so many compliments and would definitely suggest renting this dress. Keep in mind that it is a pretty short dress. A gust of wind and you might be pulling a Marylin.
