This dress was perfect for a summer wedding ... Beautiful pink, gold, and cream dress and it fit perfectly!  I would definitely rent this again.  

This dress was super cute! I ended up wearing it out to dinner to celebrate my birthday! It fit very true to size. I ended up wearing a strapless bra with this since the cut is similar to a tank. I loved the colors and the fabric of this dress too!  Very happy with this dress!

It was a little tight in the bust, so I would definitely recommend going up a size if you're chesty. #jealous

Fit was true to size. Dress came down to mid/lower thigh. I would rent this again! 

Rented this dress for a bridal shower at a very up scale country club. It was perfect for the occasion. I like the dress very much but felt it ran small across the chest/shoulders. I have a fuller chest and broad shoulders and typically wear a 6 or 8 in other Lilly styles. Suggest sizing up from your usual size if you have broad shoulders or a big chest for your back up. 

The snugness up top made the whole dress pull. I think I would have been more comfortable in the size 10.  Other than that, the fabric and the color is so pretty and perfect for a summer Sunday event. 

I didn't wore it for the intended purposes however I wore it for a nice brunch with my family instead. The dress has noticeable "age" to it. I could see some threads pulled out but this dress would have been gorgeous if it was new. The fit is good and it shows your curves even if you have just a tad.   

The 0 and 2 fit very similarly but the 2 gave a little more room in the chest/shoulders.   Both hit above the knee and we're comfortable to wear and sit in.  Truly perfect shower guest dress.  

The fit was too large. I wore it to work and then returned immediately. If you are a true size 0 this dress is not for you. 

The silky feel and colors in this dress made me feel luxurious.  I wore it on Easter Sunday...all day, and was very comfortable.  I usually wear a size 6 in designer dresses but an 8 in Lilly dresses and that was true with this one too.  It fit perfectly.  I wore a regular bra with it.  As true with so many RTR dresses, I wish I owned it!

I got this dress for a wine tasting charity event. I wasn't sure what size to get, so I just went with what other girls that had the same size measurements as I do. It was a little too tight around my curvy areas (chest and hips/butt). A size six would have been perfect, but I wore the 4 anyway (since I didn't get a back up). I still got complements from multiple strangers even with the size not right for me. I recommend if you are a curvy girl to go with your normal pant size as there isn't a lot of give in the hips.

I'm very short and the length was great for me but could be too short for others. The color was great and so was the cut of the dress on the back. I loved it!

I wore this dress to a spring outdoor wedding. The material was lightweight and worked well for the outdoor event. The dress was very nice, but the coloring made it more of a daytime dress rather than a formal event dress. The fit is like most Lily dresses- a bit smaller in the ribcage that made breathing a little tight, but nothing that made it too uncomfortable. The waist area fit fine though, so nothing about the ribcage fit made me want to move up a size. 

I had been eyeing this dress for months and actually ordered it two months before my wedding rehearsal. It fit a little tight in the bust (but I'm used to that), but it also seemed to be a little big in the waist/hips. It was only noticeable by me and, honestly, probably gave a little extra room after dinner. The pink and gold stand out much more in person but photograph more pastel-y. I loved this dress and would rent it again.

The coloring of this dress really stood out! It was much brighter than what showed on the web, but it was so cute! A good dress to have fun in! 

bust was tight
even the hip area fit in the 0 but not the top
the dress is extremely comfortable
wore it to an outside bridal shower....not too short...not too tight.....adorable

Fun dress, actually a bit more gold/ivory than shows up in the photo.  Unfortunately, only rented a size 4 and it ran big in the waist and torso.

I wore this to a family bridal shower. It was comfortable and perfect for the occasion!

I didn't want a white dress for my bridal luncheon.  I found a perfect alternative that was still very appropiate for the occasion.  The luncheon was on the water & it was September.  The pink is a little brighter than the picture makes it look & the gold gives it a slight shimmer.  It was a beautiful dress & fit true to size.  I would rent this dress again. 

It fit perfectly, exactly like all other lily dresses fit

Fit perfectly, very comfortable, received lots of compliments.  Definitely recommend for any summer event!

I rented this dress for my daughter's First Communion & my husband's 40th birthday/Derby party, which were on the same day.  The dress worked perfectly for both looking elegant & sophisticated for Mass and when I added a Derby hat looked fun for the birthday Derby party.  I received so many compliments at both events.  The dress fit true to size & was very comfortable...loved it!  
I'm 5'5", 120lbs & a size 2 fit me perfectly.

I rented this dress for an engagment party on a pool deck and it was absolutely perfect! I got so many compliments on the dress! The dress laid very nicely on my pear shaped figure and allowed me to move and stay comfortable despite the 90+ degree Kansas weather.  I would rent this dress again to wear in another social circle!

I styled the dress with a 2 gold rings, gold earrings, nude shoes, and I nipped in the waist a bit with a skinny nude belt because I have a very small waist.  I also chose to wear a strapless bra to aviod any bra strap sightings.  The dress does have strap keepers, however, do to the neckline and lower back I wanted to be sure no wardrobe malfunctions would occur.

The 0 was slightly snug around my wider hips, but I appreciated that kind of fit, if you would like a less fitted look, I'd suggest getting a size up for your back up! 

The dress fit perfectly! I wore the size two and it fit vey nicely, I cuold have maybe gone a size down, but it wouldn't have fit as comfortably.  I did choose to wear a strapless bra since the straps of the dress cut in at the collar bone a bit and normal straps showed if I didn't adjust them all the time. I got many compliments and I felt beautiful. Also, i was able to carry my 8 month old daughter around as well as look über fashionable. If I didn't take so many pictures in this dress, I would rent it again..... Actually I would rent it again anyway!

I rented this dress for a yacht club wedding in late April. This was my first RTR experience and I was quite pleased! the size 4, which is my normal dress size fit perfectly! I am 5'4'' and the dress fell about 1.5 inches above my knees while standing. It was comfortable and easy to dance in! I would definitely recommend it! I also rented the Lilly elephant clutch to match for fun and it was also perfect! I was able to fit a pair of flat sandals, my phone, and some lip glosses in the clutch.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like the bow around the neckline but it was classier than I presumed. I paired it with some big earrings and Jack Roger sandals for a day at the Races. I was comfortable and could breathe in it on that really hot South Carolina day. I have a bigger bust and no back end at all but the dress complimented my un-proportional size well. I got a size 4 and size 6 and ended up wearing the 4. Possibly to avoid looking like there was extra room in the stomach next time I would have opted for a size 2.

I couldn't be more pleased with this rental.  I received so many compliments and introduced tons of ladies who attended my bridal shower to RTR!  I rented the 6 and 8 in the dress, they are both very similar in size with the 8 having a little more wiggle room throughout.  I would definitely recommend this dress to anyone with a more hourglass/pear figure.

Although I received many compliments on the dress it ran small and did not fit my body type as I had hoped.  I did like the process of the rental and would rent again.  

Rented this dress for my bridal shower and overall it worked but ran large, especially in the armpits (had to keep adjusting to make sure my bra didn't show. When I rented this the 10 was not available, I am sure that would have fit a lot better. Pretty details for sure on it! 

I'm 5'2 and 112 lbs. This fit like a glove! Was so comfortable & elegent for a day on the golf course and I wish I owned it now! My daughter loved her Pink Blossom dress in a size 0 as well. Perfect for a 13 year old girl to learn class & style.

I wore this for a Kentucky Derby Themed Semi Formal for my sorority Delta Delta Delta and had a blast! No one else had my dress and I loved wearing Lilly for the night! 

I rented this dress for a friend's out of town wedding, where the only other person I knew was my husband. I wanted to err on the conservative side, but I didn't want to be frumpy either, and this dress fit that to a T. 

The dress travelled like a champ. I just put the RTW garment bag in the overhead compartment and pulled it out and put it on. I got compliments from all sorts of people - from the groom's sister to the bride's grandmother. And when I posted the pictures on FB, my friends raved too! The groom's mom even offered me a job because I "looked so put together." 

I could've gone a size down, as it's a shift dress and hung pretty straight on me (I'm not a very curvy girl), but I was fine in the size I got. It's tasteful and feminine, but the gold stripes and bow give that bit of fun. This was my first RTW experience, and I'll definitely be coming back!

This dress was snug in the chest, but other than that, I think it fits pretty true. I have a small bust and still felt more comfortable in a bra without padding. It was super comfortable, though, and very easy to dance in! It hardy rode up at all and I got compliments all night!

Wore this dress for my birthday and loved it. The fit was wonderful and the dress was very well-made. Love Lilly and love RTR! 

I wore this dress to my senior homecoming dance and it was wonderful! I didn't want to buy a super pricey dress for one night, especially since half the time time I don't wear them again, so this site was perfect for me! The dress was beautiful and the colors were vibrant and classy. The length is perfect for me too, since I have long legs and a lot of dresses end up be too short for me. The dress was extremely comfortable as well and easy to dance in. The fit was fantastic for my thin frame! It showed off my figure while emphasized my curves! It's perfect for smaller busted girls, too. I loved this dress

I rented this dress for a bridal shower and it couldn't have been more perfect.  Fit great, looked elegant but fun at the same time!

I rented this for a bridal shower I was hosting! It fit well - was a little big in the stomach area but overall loved the dress and the colors!

I rented this dress for an evening wedding.  The reception was outdoors, so the dress was dressy enough for the church and comfortable in the Texas heat. I was apprehensive about wearing this as I am 56, but my chat with the RTR stylist reassured me. And I am glad I rented it. Received so many compliments from young and old. The length was fine on me, I am 5'4". Ordered the 4 and 6 based on other reviews. Usually wear a 4 and it was perfect!

I typically take a size 6, but the size 8 in this dress fit me perfectly. If you have wider hips, I would suggest getting your backup dress in the next size up, since I think this particular dress runs slightly smaller than other Lilly Pulitzer dresses I've worn. I received countless compliments on this dress when I wore it for a family party, and the shape it gives you is fantastic. It definitely was not as short on me as it looks on the model. Highly recommend.

I cannot express how much I love this dress. I rented it with the Lilly Elephant Clutch and it all worked perfectly together. The cream, light pink, and gold are gorgeous together in person- the gold pops in person more than you can tell from the photo. Though I am 5'11'', the dress was not too short on me, as it appears on the model.  It was the perfect dress- flattering, conservative, and cute.  I stood out, in a good way. HIGHLY recommend.
