This dress was bright and light and beautiful.  I felt comfortable and pretty.  It was perfect for a rustic tented Maine wedding.  However, it is not the most figure flattering.  If you are a little self-conscious, you might not want to choose this dress.  THE DRESS MUST BE IRONED upon receipt. 

The only con was that the size 10 was unavailable for me to order. The 8 was too small and the 12 was a bit large so it would have been perfect to have the 10. Overall it was super comfy fabric and got great compliments all night!

This dress is beautiful-- lightweight, bright colors.  It's perfect for a garden party, bridal shower, or outdoor wedding.  I ordered the size 2 and 4. The 2 was slightly tight in the bust and around the ribcage.  While it fit, the 4 was more flattering and certainly more comfortable to wear all day.


I wore this to the Carolina Cup! I'm normally a 2 and I had to size up to a 6, but the wire around the belly made me have to size up to a 6. It's a little tight in the belly and I recommend smaller breasted woman wear this. I'm a 34A and it was very fitted there as well. Over all I highly recommend this dress it's so cute!! 

I wore this dress for Easter brunch with my family and got so many compliments. It fit pretty true to size, maybe the tiniest bit on the tight side but overall a pretty standard fit. I liked the zipper closure with the hook and eye at the top.  The colors are stunning, so bright and happy. The length is a bit short but I liked that. I would rent it again in a heartbeat. I didn't want to send it back. 

I LOVED this dress!! It was my first RTR rental and it was an awesome way to start! I wore it to a spring dance and got soo many complements! It fit perfect to my normal size and was also veryyyy comfy! 

Wore this for Easter in New Orleans. The only hang up for this dress is that the colors seemed a little faded, otherwise it was perfect! Very comfortable and cute, great for walking now around the city- perfect for spring time!

This dress was a little on the short side, but was fine for under my graduation gown. I loved that it had pockets, and they didn't add any extra bulk at the hips. I found the arms and the neck to be tight, but I find that with most Lilly dresses. It could be restricting for someone looking to dance in this dress. The colors were great and the dress is very feminine. Another great Lilly. 

The dress fit great. The waist was slightly tight but not so uncomfortable that I couldn't wear it. 

I wore this dress to a charity party & it was very comfortable to wear. I loved the bright colors & I love a dress with pockets! I wore the larger size because the smaller size was too tight on my ribs. Would rent again! 

Dress fit well and was a good length, however, the piping around the waist line would roll up slightly when I moved around.  Very light and airy though which made it perfect for an outdoor summertime bridal shower. 

It was so perfect for the day. Rented it for my birthday and loved it. I'm pretty busty and between a 4-6, but I def had to go for the size 6 this time. It received so many compliments.

I love everything Lilly and this dress was no exception! It's lightweight, fits true to size and is super comfortable! I dressed it down with flats, but you could also dress it up. 

The hem on the dress I got was ripped so I had to tape it up but otherwise a perfect fit.

Pros - fun dress, great colors, comfortable 
Cons - none! 

Pros: super cute pattern, pockets, fun back cutout, and quality materials/construction 
Cons: the dress was a little short for my 5'8" frame; also, not the most flattering fit for a fuller figure - I'm a 34D on top with a smaller waist, and the A-line style of the dress with the half-empire waist detail top made me look a little dumpy and larger than I actually am. I didn't like where the dress was fitted at my waist - better for women that are super short-waisted.

The dress fit perfectly! I received so many compliments. I wore the dress to my nephews graduation party and combined it with a pair of orange espadrilles! My only con was that the white of the dress was a tad dingy. Especially where in the underarm area and straps. So my recommendation is to know your size and order two of the same just in case. 

Fit was true to size.  Loved the dress - didn't want to return it!

This dress was a life-saver. I rented this to stand out from the black graduation gowns and the sea of little white dress and it didnt disappoint me. Very light weight, comfortable, perfect for my height and so summery. However, the highlights is its pocket. As an outdoor event, the school do not allow us to carry bags with us, which is ridiculous since we need to check in with our IDs and need a phone to call my family. I was super happy that this dress has pockets in it. Definitely recommend.

As others have mentioned its a little short but nothing inappropriate. cute, preppy, springy dress that is comfy and easy to wear. loved it!

The dress had a lot more "pouf" on the bottom than I thought from the picture but it was perfect for a Derby party. I did wear some spandex shorts underneath for extra coverage going up and down stairs! Pretty good fit, not the best neckline on me personally but the pattern worked for the "theme."

I LOVED wearing this dress.  It fit perfectly and the bright colors are so cheerful.  Beware: it is short!  It was VERY short on me, so I had to be careful, but I still loved wearing this dress.

Wore this dress for a Kentucky Derby party-- it's not the typical lilly shift material which makes it run a bit smaller in my opinion with the piping around the ribs making it even more snug-- it is short but for the event I was going to that wasn't an issue-- love d the bright colors and pattern! 

Loved this dress! Super fun & cute. I'm just under 5'10 so it was a little short on me but I like short dresses. And the bottom was structured enough so it didn't blow up in the wind. Also- if you are pear shaped this is a great dress! Fits like a glove up top and then there's plenty of room for larger hips. I loved if!

I wear a size 2 typically but wore the size 4 back up I ordered.  The dress runs very small and is quite short, but it still was very cute for the daytime bridal shower I attended.  I recommend, but definitely order a size up. 

The dress has perfect length for short people like me, very comfortable. The material is a little bit on a thick side so expect to be extra warm if you stay long outside

I own several Lilly dresses, but this one definitely runs way smaller. I ordered a 2 and a 4 and ended up wearing the 4, and even that was a little tight. It's also a lot shorter than it looks on the model!

I love this dress. Still. 5 months after wearing it. I rented it for some friends' wedding. I am a firm believer in nobody but the bride wears white and so that brought me a bit of concern. It ended up working out perfectly - you can barely see the white background. I got so many compliments on this dress! I loved the length. The top around the bust was a bit tight, but I am a 34G and could still wear a bra and breathe comfortably, even after beer. The one issue I had, but quickly got over because overall it was so perfect, was the keyhole in the back. I guess my shoulders weren't broad enough and the button and top portion of the keyhole sagged instead of being pulled tight. Like I said, I quickly got over it. 

I would highly suggest this dress!

This dress is absolutely stunning the colors are even more vibrant in person. I wore this dress for open house. It was the perfect dress to meet my new students and their parents. 

This dress was perfect for date night in DC. The fit hugged in all the right places and the colors were gorgeous paired with hot pink pumps. I also loved the pockets. Usually I'm always cold, but this dress was the perfect weight. Can't say enough about how absolutely perfect this dress was! :)

The size 10 that I originally ordered could not zip up in the back (watch out and size up, ladies with big ribcages!), but luckily the size 12 fit very well.  The top was slightly tight on the bust, but the skirt was flowy and fun.  The pockets were a nice addition, as was the cute cut-out at the top of the back.  All in all, my first RtR experience was a very good one, and I generally really liked the dress.  It wasn't an all-out perfect dress, but it did the job and looked cute for a summer wedding!

Cute dress, obvious that it wasn't ironed before it arrived and super tight on my boobs, but that comes with most high cut dresses. Overall good fit and pretty dress. 

I rented this dress to wear for my son's first birthday party but my mother-in-law wisely pointed out that if I accidentally got icing on the dress (during the baby's cake smash), it could ruin the dress. SO I decided to wear it to work instead. 

The dress fit perfectly. I am a size 4 and that's the size I wore. It wasn't too tight or too loose, it was just right. I loved the colors. They were bright and cheery, perfect for summer. The length was a good length as well, even for wearing to work. 

The only little complaint I had about the dress was that it was a little worn-looking. You can tell it's been worn lots of times by looking at the fabric. But it's not like bad enough to not want to wear the dress, it just didn't have that "new" look I had anticipated when I pulled it out of the box (this was my first rental so I didn't know what to expect). 

But all in all I loved the dress. It was super cute and fit great. I would recommend it! 

Loved there pockets, the roominess of the skirt. Short--so I felt I couldn’t wear heels so opted for flat sandals! 

Fit like a glove. Pockets came in handy for pocketing snacks for later. 


Actually, rented the dress for my neice. She loved it

I loved this dress. It was so comfortable and just short enough for a bridal shower without being in appropriate. I LOVED the added bonus of the tiny straps to hold your bra to the dress shoulders. Since it tends to shift a little, I put some fashion tape on the shoulders to hold them in place. Also, having pockets to store made running around that day bearable. 

Renting from RTR is always a pleasure!
