The dress fit great, but was a tad short. I a 5'7" and I had to be careful if I bent over. Overall, it was a cute dress for a company holiday party!

Fabulous Party LBD
Size worn: 10
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
This dress was incredibly feminine, lightweight, easy to dance in, and all around gorgeous! I felt so sophisticated and comfortable, especially since the 10 (my usual size) was plenty roomy, maybe even too big. The one sleeved definitely made it more glamorous than your typical black strapless minidress. I would totally rent this again and recommend it to anyone.

It was cute! But was too large in the bust and wouldn't stay up. So I didn't get to wear this dress. But I rented it as my back up dress, so I had something to wear!

the dress fit great and looked great. Perfect for a bachelorette party.

Overall fit: True to Size

The dress was very short, especially since I'm 5'9". I wore it with tights though, so I felt more comfortable. The sleeve was short too, but I was wearing bracelets, so it actually helped show them off.

This dress is great for any occasion! Classy, but still different...I'd definitely recommend it!
Size worn: 6
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I usually have a hard time finding dresses that are small enough in the waist and large enough in the hips, but this dress fits like a glove. It just skims over your waist and hips to show off your figure while still being classy and comfy. The detail sleeve is an interesting twist on the classic LBD, so it definitely stands out. The only issue might be that it is kinda short, so no bending over, but other than that, it's a great dress that runs true to size and is great for a wide variety of occasions!

Such an easy process. Dress was gorgeous.
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I usually wear either a 2 or a 4 depending on the dress. With this dress I wore the 4 because, although the 2 fit very well throughout the body, it was too short for the occasion. The dress is amazing, extremely flattering and comfortable. Not once was I worried about keeping myself covered modestly, everything stayed where it was supposed to. This is an amazing dress and I'm considering purchasing it because I loved it that much!

I don't know if it's just because my torso is longer, but the dress was a little short. I felt like it barely covered my butt.

Adorable, but too short to possibly wear!
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
This dress was exactly what I wanted, except too many inches shorter than I could bear to wear. The sleeve was also a fairly awkward length. I suppose I could attribute all of this to my height, but I can't imagine the length being acceptable on anyone, especially with the flow of the dress.

Awesome dress, looked so cute with gold accessories at a new years party. It is cut straight up-and-down so if you have hips you might want to go up one size. I usually wear a 2 and the 4 was much more comfortable

Was the perfect dress for New Years!

The dress was perfect for New Years Eve! It fit perfectly, I never had to worry about it being too loose at the top. It is a bit short when you sit down but I wore it with tights and never had to worry the whole evening. This was my first experience with RTR and it was awesome. Thank you!

I wore this dress to my sorority's semi and it was great! It fit a little bit wider- especially in the hips- than I expected. Overall it was great, stunning with a pair of super tall nude heels!

The dress is awesome, but the pictures do not do it justice. Unfortunately RTR, did not press it properly and I was stuck with the lining sticking out all night long. Other than that, it's a fabulous dress.

This dress is awesome! Classic, slimming fit.
Size worn: 8
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Date
I wore this dress to my birthday dinner, but feared it might be too dressy. I dressed it down with a black leather jacket with army green sleeves. It's a great dress because it still looks cute dressed down, but can also be very classy. The clean lines are extremely flattering, especially around the mid-section. The length is cute and flirty (I'm 5'4"), but might be too short for a formal event. The only reason why I gave it four stars is because the sleeve can be perceived as silty retro, but I still loved it. Highly recommended!

Holly Ball Dress
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Formal Affair
I loved this dress. It was perfect for my event! It was the ideal classic little black dress! Beware if you are tall and skinny... I ordered the 2 and 4. I am usually a 4 but I had at least 3 inches of extra fabric at the waist. The two fit perfectly but it was super short. I ended up wearing the 4 but it still looked great and I loved it! Rent The Runway is genius, this was my first time renting and I know I will be back! Thanks so much!

Loved it
Size worn: 4
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
It was a little big. I had tried it on in the store and was firmly a size 4 so knew to rent a size 4 from RTR. But their sizing seemed a little off garment to garment. So it was a little big. If I rented again my extra size would be a 2 vs a size larger. But I looked so skinny in all the pictures... so who cares. Great dress (very short though, so be aware... I am 5'7 and had to be careful sitting down, etc).

Cute but short!
Size worn: None
Overall fit: True to Size
Rented for: Formal Affair
I'm typically a size 2 and ordered a 0 and 2 from RTR. The dresses both fit well, but they were really short on me. I'm 5'8''. And because the dress fabric is thin and the bottom inch is totally sheer, it just didn't look right on me. It's very pretty, but probably better for someone who's shorter!

Strange fit
Size worn: 2
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I wore this to a wedding.. it was pretty but the fit was strange. I usually wear a 2 and the 2 was large in the waist and hips.. I couldn't go down a size to the 0 because it was too tight in the chest and arm. If you have an athletic shape (broad shoulders and narrow waist) I would not recommend. I was also worried it was too short and I am only five feet tall.

disappointed Lilly !

I am a fan of Lilly Pulitzer & have more than a dozen dresses in my closet. I was thrilled to see RTR now offers Lilly dresses. This particular dress was a major disappointment. Quality not up to par w/ other Lilly styles. Dress had no shape/style. Would not recommend this dress. Glad I rented it as my back-up style.

I was very disappointed with this dress. I typically wear a size 2 in Lilly Pulitzer, with a little room to spare. I ordered the 2 expecting it to fit and it was very fitted, not flowy as it comes across in the picture. Unfortunately, i ordered a 0 as my back up size. I would definitely get a size up as your back up. Sadly, I didn't get to try it on until late in the evening that it arrived, so i doubt i'll be getting a credit.
