Ok, I am not a fan of this dress. The color was beautiful but the dress itself made me look huge. I weigh 131 but have a 34d chest size and made me look 20-30 pounds heavier. If you are not tiny, I would look at other Lily options that are more form fitting. I was not pleased with the fit and wish I had selected another rental.

I fit into both the 0 & 2 however I'm on the 'hippy' side and the 0 hugged my hips which made the lower portion of the dress taut & the middle portion loose. The dress probably wasn't made for curvy girls but I just loved the color & couldn't resist renting it. I rated it 4 stars only because of this. Otherwise the dress was super comfortable & easy to move around in

It was a little tight in the arms, but the size up (a 6) was too big throughout the rest of the dress so I dealt with it in the four, but it wasn't enough to take away from the dress or the night. Very nice dress, beautiful color. Never disappointed with a Lilly dress

I rented this dress for my future sister-in-law's bridesmaid luncheon- it was perfect! The color and material were awesome, and I felt great in the dress. The only downside - the armholes felt small and it was a little tight under the arms. A bigger size would have been too large all over. Definitely recommend the dress.

The dress fits tighter in the arms and runs a little more open down your body. The lace also snags easy so be careful with the fish hook clip.

Great color for blondes
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
It was a good length and neckline for a small family wedding where I was looking for modest but still a bright spring color. It does have a green under tone but overall it reads aqua. Think it is perfect for blondes. It was a bit snug across the chest (36DD) but worked. Loved how the bottom section of lace hung below the lining to accentuate the pretty scalloped edge. I used to make fun of my friends 15 years ago who wore Lilly but she has come along way and I take back everything I ever said! She's more than super preppy prints these days!

I took a risk and only got one size -8 bc they were out of stock of the 6. I'm normally between the two sizes.. The 8 was great, gave me room to move and dance! Got tons of compliments on the style and color. This was my favorite Lilly rental so far! I really had no issue with the arm holds like other people mentioned but the clasp in the back did come undone when sitting too long.

I wore this dress to a July wedding. It was a flattering cut and a vibrant color. There were 6 other people in the exact same teal at this wedding, so it must be super trendy right now. It's shorter then I normally wear but that ended up being ok. The sleeve holes were very tight and I wish I'd gone a size up. Good value rental over all.

Loved this dress! Wore to a family wedding. Both the 4 and 6 fit but wore the 6 because it was comfier! This is a typical shift cut so if you're looking for something to accentuate your waist, you will want a belt. I love the easy feel of shift dresses, especially for eating and dancing at weddings! Wouldn't change a thing about this dress. There is a cute keyhole back that I didn't realize before I rented- might have tried to put my hair up if I had thought in advance! I found it very flattering.

It was a great color and pretty lace but I don't know if it was very flattering. It was really tight in the arms so I was worried about that for the night. Did not wrinkle on the way to the wedding though in a suitcase!

The fit is pretty true to size. I ordered this last minute for wound up with only one size to choose from - the 00. Fortunately, because it was not a form fitted dress getting the 00 made it a little more flattering on my body. Usually I wear a 0 in Lilly P but the extra size was not available. The fit was perfect except for around the arms. It was crazy tight but it didn't ruin my night. I was able to wear a normal bra. I got a lot of compliments on the color and the style. Definitely a keeper!!!

Usually a size 6, I rented both the 6 and 4 as I read some reviews saying it runs a bit large. The 4 fit perfect, but was a little tight under the arms. The 6 was way too big. There are convenient snaps inside the dress to hold your bra straps in place. This was my favorite Rent the Runway dress yet! The color is perfect and the fit is forgiving and comfortable. I couldn't believe the compliments I received!

Absolutely perfect! I ended up renting it twice this summer!
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
This dress was perfect for a summer wedding! The color was stunning - not too bright - but the perfect pop of color. I was worried about length since I'm taller and have long legs, but it ended up hitting mid-thigh. I felt comfortable dancing and didn't have to keep pulling it down like some other shorter dresses I've rented in the past. I originally rented it for a summer beachside wedding in Newport, RI -- and my husband loved it so much that he asked me to rent it again for his brother's wedding a month later. If it's ever available to purchase I would scoop this dress up to add to my closet!

It's a shift dress so it's not fitted through the middle. The size 4 fit better in length but the size 6 fit better under the arms. The lace overlay was well maintained. The color, especially for a summer wedding, was fresh and popped! The only con was the hook-and-eye closure at the back kept popping open. The suggested accessories really brought the look together. I would definitely rent this dress again!

Very pretty but not my favorite
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Small
Rented for: Wedding
I have had my eye on this dress for a while so opted to rent it for a Labor Day Wknd wedding. The RTR process was flawless with the dress and optional alt size arriving on time in perfect condition. I tried on the 2 and it fit perfectly except underneath the arms where it pinched a little bit and I thought it might get uncomfortable. The 4 was just a little bigger so not quite as flattering but much more comfortable under the arms. After much debate and comparison I went with the 4 and it was fine. I was able to wear a regular bra with the dress and there are snaps to hold the straps in place but they kept unsnapping.
I was hoping the dress would have been more flattering and fitted but I'm glad I tried it. It was just fine for the event and I was comfortable - just not my favorite rental.

Not for curvy ladies
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
Added this as my "extra" dress and I'm glad that I had the primary dress to fall back on. After reading other reviews, I agree with what most gals say about this one - it's absolutely beautiful and the color is amazing, but it's definitely not a good cut for us curvy gals. This would look great on someone who is very slender with slim arms and smaller bust - on me, it was a little snug around the bust, and loose through the middle, and neckline was not very flattering. 10 would have probably fit better in the bust and arms, but this cut was just not for me. Such a disappointment, because this is really a beautiful and fun dress!

The dress fits well in the bust and the length is good. A con maybe is the fit is straight so it doesn't hug your waist. The color looks more mint in person and not sky blue-like online. Love the lace!

Beautiful dress with elegant pattern and fun color! I loved wearing it all day and received many compliments.
As in other reviews if you are larger chested it will feel a bit tight in the chest but manageable. It seems many Lilly dresses that are 4-6 don't a compensate larger bust sizes comfortable however it is manageable.
I choose not to wear the bigger size 6 because I wanted a more fitted look to the dress and the 6 felt a bit baggy with the shift pattern.

I love this dress, I wish I didn't have to send it back! Fit is true to size, I am typically a 4 and wore a 4. Great length, color, and very comfortable. I liked that. I could wear a normal bra with it and also had built I holder to keep your bra straps tucked in. This was my first rental and I look forward to more!

Perfect color; great for a wedding
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Wedding
I loved the color of this dress. I paired it with a trendy bright coral lip and coral nails and received compliments all night. Things you should know about the dress: if you're a busty girl, its going to be a bit tight in that area; the neckline is fairly high, so its great for conservative events; and the length was pretty short on me, which is saying something considering I'm only 5'4". Definitely manageable, and not too risque, just the type of dress where I had to make sure I was sitting lady-like at all times and didn't bend over at the waist.

I was asked to wear an aqua dress to a beach wedding of a close friend. After finding nothing that I liked to buy, I decided to try RTR. This dress was perfect. It's gorgeous and it was so nice to throw it in a bag and send it back, I didn't even have to pack it to fly home! It was a little small around the arms. I'm narrow shouldered and it fit pretty perfectly.

I wore this dress to a "bridal tea" for my friend's wedding. The color is much more vibrant and green-toned in person, which I liked. I could have worn the 4 but went with the 2 because it was more fitted and had less fabric hanging. The 2 was a little tight in my armpits but not too tight to wear, and was otherwise a very comfortable dress. I highly recommend this one!

This dress was wonderful for my wedding rehearsal. It moved perfectly from the church, to the boat, to dinner and then to drinks afterwards. It was comfortable, a gorgeous color and the length I was hoping for. I would highly recommend this dress. It is a little tight around the armpits as other reviewers mentioned but it wasn't too noticeable.

I wore this to a friend's wedding on a hot summer day. I ordered the 2 and the 4, the shoulders/arms and chest were snug on the 2, so I wore the 4 to be more comfortable and since its a shift, the fit other places didn't matter too much. I loved it, not too long, but long enough that you don't have to worry about lifting your arms up, etc. when dancing. I felt super comfortable and loved the color!
