Comfy and flowy
Like other reviews mentioned, runs large in bust but you can kind of adjust the cris-cross straps to make it work. Beautiful details.

Cute for small people
Dress was clearly well-made and pretty. Not my favorite RTR as it didn't fit my athletic build very well. Very tight in the neck and arms even when I sized up. Also a bit short, even when wearing flats. I'm 5'8. But, maybe it was only in my head because a lot of people said they loved it.

Cute!
Okay so not the best picture, but this dress was actually really cute, easy to dance in, and the high lace neckline didnt bother me at all. Recommend!

Too short for someone who loves short
I LOVE my legs and don't wear heels so I often rent dresses that others have reviewed as "too short" and am pleased with them. This one, however, was too short even for me. Also didnt provide as much shape as I like. Better for ladies under 5'8!

Hot hot hot
So nothing against this dress, decided not to wear it due to an unseasonably hot day (100+ degrees in michgan in september!) Dress is pretty thick and will show sweat so probably a better idea for a cooler day

Super flattering!
Fits larger than other brands but not too large. Not a lot of stretch but fit comfortably and flattering. I had 3 dinners and still looked great- haha.

Beautiful Colors and SO COMFY!
This is my first RTR order where both sizes I received were a big on me. It worked perfectly, though, as I wore the smaller size and the dress was light and airy and kept me cool at a sunny, outdoor wedding, and it was super comfortable for a huge dinner and dancing. Highly recommend!

Floral-Themed Bridal Shower
I had worn the traditional white to my other bridal showers but wanted to branch out for this one. This dress was perfect for a very hot day, thin enough to be breathable and comfortable, but also very flattering. Loved it!

Beautiful dress but...
I have a pretty flat stomach but I was still unhappy how it looked in the dress. Not the fault of the dress, just my expectations. Great customer service in helping me return.

Great Gala Dress
This dress was not my favorite RTR but still beautiful, more on the conservative side, and got lots of compliments. Despite looking at all pics, I rented it for a warmer spring event and I would say it is more of a fall/winter dress, on the thicker side with sequins. Beautiful colors that photograph well. Even with sizing down it is not tight and not at all low cut, so good choice for a more conservative event.

Gorgeous and great customer service!
Earring arrived missing one smaller jewel, I called right away and customer service refunded me but said I could still wear them if I'd like. I wore them, you couldn't even notice the missing jewel and they were beautiful!

Worn by the bride!
I rented for the bride as an option for her "reception dress" and she wore and loved it! She looked stunning, and used the belt from her gown as an added touch.

Flattering!
This dress was super flattering on the chest and from a side profile. Didn't do much for my wide hips but it was comfortable and fun for a New Year's eve party! I recommend!

Shiny and pretty, size down!
While I did receive many compliments on the dress, it was not an RTR favorite of mine. It was longer than I expected (I am 5'8 with long legs), heavy and a little itchy because of the sequins, and larger than expected. I also tried to pair with tights or nylons but felt like it looked like an awkward combination.

Awesome color for an end-of-summer greenhouse wedding
Loose top made me feel comfortable all night, tight bottom made my butt look nice but a little tighter than i would have liked around the legs for dancing. Still, overall it looked great and I got a lot of compliments.

Shows off long legs
A lot of reviews for Lily Pulitzer shifts say that they are too short, especially for tall girls. Not true. I am 5'8 with a long torso and legs, and if you size up it's fine, it wasn't tight, so that kept it classy. I wore with flats and minimal jewelry. Gorgeous and tasteful.

Awesome color, get a necklace!
The color is beautiful and paired with an accent necklace, it was a total hit. My only issues were that it was unbelievably tight in the boobs (and I don't really have boobs) and not tight at all in the butt. Good for a hot summer wedding and dancing. Glad I rented but would not rent this one again.

Fall wedding the same night as MSU football game, so I repped the color in style.
Fit PERFECTLY and I ate and drank a lot all night and you couldn't tell. Very flattering, and easy to dance in. You can wear a regular nude bra with it easily. My first RTR purchase and very pleased, no complaints
