Overall, this dress was a 'meh' for me, though I went ahead and wore it. Sizing was an issue: I typically order a 2 and a 4 from RTR (and wind up wearing the 2); the 4 wasn't available for my dates, so I ordered a 0 and 2. Mistake! I fit into the 2, but jussssssst barely -- I was pretty uncomfortable all night (the fabric has no give in the waist/bodice). Even a 4 might not have been comfortable; with hindsight and if and availability wasn't an issue, I would have ordered a 4 and 6 and could very well have wound up in the 6.
  
The dress also didn't "feel fun." The fabric is satin-y, and overall I felt a little dowdy/matronly. It also doesn't breath, which made for a sweaty southern summer wedding.

Very comfortable (was a little tight around the waist).  Received many compliments!!

Rented for a work cocktail party-too much cleavage so I went with my back up. The pockets are great, and the tailoring creates a very flattering waist to hip ratio for those of us who are a little thick.  I have another Milly dress that is an 8, but I couldn't even zip the 8 in this style. Order a size up for your back up. I love this dress and will rent again if I have a date!

The fabric was very lightweight, almost like an umbrella-type material.  It was great for a warm day, and roomy enough to sit and stand in total comfort.  The length was perfect for Point to Point.

Really liked this dress. Very comfortable and perfect for a summer wedding. Strapless bra showed a little bit at the top and the mesh straps were a little baggy on me. I don't think anyone but me noticed though and I enjoyed wearing the dress all night. 

I am typically a size 4 but could only order the size 6 since it was the smallest available for my event date.  I didn't think it would be an issue since most reviews said that the dress ran small.  I didn't think this was the case as when I got it, it was pretty loose in the strap/chest area.  I improvised by safety pinning the straps a bit and it ended up fitting like a glove!  I got compliments all night and the dress was so comfortable!  Such a great first time experience with RTR!

The dress was fun and flattering. I wish I had time to buy bright shoes to add a pop of color. It was a tad tight in the ribcage, so I went up a size. I would have given it a 4, but there were several small circular holes in the straps in the front of the 8. The material was interesting, I didn't have issues with it making a swishing sound as other reviewers reported.  The pockets were a huge bonus. I wore a strapless bra but could have gone without one. 

This dress is definitely a different material as others have mentioned but it makes for a lightweight, easy to wear dress. And it has pockets! So pleased with this rental although it probably wouldn't be comfortable in the chest for a large bust. This dress did have some tearing in the inside lining bear the zipper but thankfully it didn't affect the zipper. 

Fit true to size. I was a bit worried that the straps were a bit too long, but they magically stayed up all night without any help! Loved the pattern and the detailing on the straps. Paired great with red shoes and red lipstick. Would definitely rent this again!

The dress was perfect for my friends tea party themed bridal shower. I loved the dress but it was a little tight under my bust. 

It's quite revealing if you're on the busty side, but overall this dress is just lovely: the print, the skirt, and the sheer shoulders are all fun. The fabric *is* a little funky (like the lining of a raincoat), so while it feels strange, it doesn't look odd or cheap in person. Just a nice sheen.

I rented this dress for a fancy holiday cocktail party and I received so many compliments! I think it must run a little small because I'm usually a size 4 and the 6 fit perfectly. It is a really comfortable dress, though there is no stretch whatsoever so I was super happy that it fit around the waist comfortably. It was a little above knee length on me. Overall, the dress was really cute and I want to wear it again! 

This is one of my favorite dresses that I've ever rented! I really really wish I could own this dress! It highlighted my curves and petite frame in all the right places. Would highly recommend for a date night or special occasion! 

If you've never worn a Milly dress before, be warned they run VERY small.  I usually wear a 2-4 and knew the 6 would fit from previous experience, but ordered the 8 for back up.  The 6 fit perfectly as expected. This dress is a bit of a strange material, almost like a rain jacket (which was ironically appropriate as the weather was terrible that day); however, it lays really nicely and looked great in photos. The dress gets bonus points for having pockets.

This is a great dress! The fabric is luxurious and comfortable and the pockets are awesome!!  It ran a little small in the rib cage as it is high waisted. The straps were a bit too big but easily adjusted with safety pins in the back. The bodice is constructed well enough that I didn't need to wear a bra. It is a little more ivory than the bright white I was expecting from the photo online. Overall I loved this dress! 

This dress was so comfortable and easy to wear. I would definitely size up though and if you have a large bust I wouldn't recommend it. I agree with other reviewers that the material is a little odd, it's basically nylon but it's lined and really comfortable. I wore it to a wedding and received a ton of compliments. 

Pros:
Easy to dress up for any event.  Flattering cut. Beautiful straps.

Cons:
Material is a bit like a rain jacket, which I was not necessarily expecting.

Dress fit tightly around the rib cage, making it was flattering that it could have been. The material was a little odd as well. Not my favorite dress from RTR, but worked fine for the night. 

I wore this to an outdoor barn wedding. The dress was very comfortable (and even had pockets, which was convenient) and flattering. It's also unique looking and has the interesting neckline with the sheer straps. I would be a bit weary if you have a large bust--the top seems like it could be a little constricting/awkward fitting with a bigger bust. Otherwise, would definitely recommend! 

This dress was so pretty!  I loved the details throughout the dress.  It was tight in the bodice and forgiving in the hips.  I did find that the 6 fit me a little to tight in the ribcage, making it uncomfortable to sit for long periods of time.  The length of this dress hit me a few inches above the knee and was an appropriate length for a family wedding.  I loved dressing this up with chandelier earrings, side swept hair and matte red lipstick.

The dress fit a little tight around my rib cage and my strapless bra kept peeking over the top to show through the lace. Other than that this dress was fantastic, the pockets were super handy and the fabric had a nice weight to it!

Beautiful material can either dress it down as I did but could've also dressed up!

This was a great dress, the only issue I had was that none of my bras seemed to be the right style since the top showed through the sheer part. I was able to fold one down and pin it though! Other than that the dress was great- very eye catching and flattering!

Rented for a Kentucky Derby Party on my birthday and it definitely fit the bill. Lots of compliments and light and comfy for a long day at the track. Pockets always a bonus --wish every dress could have them. 

True to size, though a little tighter in the waist. Super lightweight 

I was worried about the size 8 after gaining some weight and reading that it fit small, however, the 10 would have been too big. (The 8 was just a bit smug on the rib cage). Details on the dress are great and make it just a bit more formal. Love the flowers and the lace too. I was comfortable dancing, received compliments, and felt beautiful. 

Rented this for a baby shower. The pattern is cute but the material feels a bit cheap. The shoulder straps were too long and the chest area too loose so it'd fit better for larger chested girls. The length was fine. I just wish it hugged more!

Loved the mesh straps and nice prominent waistline.  The neckline is already pretty detailed that there was no need for me to embellish with accessories

A little snug in the rib-cage area, but SUCH a beautiful dress.  I got lots of complements on it, and totally wanted to keep it!  Just the right balance of classic and retro.  Loved the pockets, too!

I wore this dress for an engagement party. The material is a little odd, it feels like the lining of a rain coat, but was light and airy on a hot day. I loved the pockets and I received so many amazing compliments on this dress.

I wore this for my sisters rehearsal dinner. It wasn't my first choice, but I'm glad I ended up with it. It's very flattering in the midsection because it hugs you in all the right places. I got a ton of compliments, too! Always do when I rent the runway!!!

The dress came in on time and was adorable. I ordered up in both sizes because milly tends to run small. The 10 fit great, it was very comfortable and I loved the pockets! Would definitely recommend! Thanks RTR for another great dress!! 

I absolutely LOVED wearing this dress. I wore it to my cousin's bridal shower/party. I would have preferred wearing a 10 for more room because it's almost like wearing a corset. It's tight and hugs you. If you have somewhat of a butt, it is short. I wore it anyways lol Everyone loved the dress, as did I. I wanted to keep it!

I usually wear somewhere between a size 2 and 4, so I ordered both- the 2 fit perfectly.  The only con was that the straps were a bit loose on me and kept falling down; but that didn't effect the fit of the dress at all (it was already tight enough that the straps were more for fashion than functionality).  This dress was perfect for the occasion, it even has pockets which I used to keep my lens caps in while shooting during the ceremony/reception.  I felt like it was somewhere in between a summer sun dress and a formal cocktail dress, which is exactly what I wanted! 

Very pretty dress with, Classic fit with a tasteful length ( im 5'7").  cinched in my waist at the right spot. 

Fits true to size. The material is a a bit like a raincoat and the pockets make it very flattering. A bit right in the chest. 

I rented this for a recent June wedding.  The fit was true and comfortable.  You should probably wear it with a strapless bra, however I had a black lace bra I wore under it and it actually looked like part of the dress.  A lot of compliments throughout the night.  I discovered halfway through the reception that the dress has pockets!  Bonus!  

The material is unique, but this is a unique dress. A little bit of a retro feel, but still modern (pockets!). I am pretty flat chested, so it was loose on top but I remedied with some inserts. Great silhouette!

What a fantastic dress. Another winner from rtr. 

The dress is true to size but if you are concerned with fit order a size up as there is no stretch. 

Fit notes mentioned the dress was up to a C cup but I am a 32DD and it fit perfect. 

Saw some other reviews that the fabric felt weird like a raincoat - which made me think it would feel thick, shiny and cheap - not true. 

I think the material is a silk- like blend and has some sheen to it but was very comfortable. 

Kept jewelry to a minimum on this but added a pop of color with poppy red lips and manicure. 

The cut and floral pattern give off a retro pin-up vibe. 

I usually wear a size four and ordered that size without the 6 backup (it wasn't in stock when I ordered) and while I probably could have "made it work" I chose another Milly dress in its place.  This dress is really beautiful.  If you are a bit hippy, you might want to consider at least going up one size for back up because it has a slight fitted drop waist and the material has absolutely no give. I really wish I could have worn this dress, but I just would have been too uncomfortable.  I will definitely rent this at some other time in the correct size.  So pretty, dainty and sophisticated with the most beautiful neckline!
