New Years Eve - Perfect!
This was a very cute dress for New Years Eve. I ended up wearing sheer black tights and a black sleeveless fur vest, but this dress didn't need that. It was the perfect shade of coral. I was a little hesitant on the color because I have such a fair/red complexion, but it was a great color. Sleeves weren't too tight. I had to be a little careful as it was a tad short, but not too bad and only when raising your arms really high overhead or something like that. Comfortable room in bust and waist. A perfect last minute NYE choice!

Not as great as I expected
I expected this dress to fit loosely. I had ordered it to wear to a wedding, expecting to need room for a baby bump. I read the reviews and all the ladies looked lovely in this dress - I couldn't wait to try it. I really wanted to like the dress, but I just wasn't crazy about it. It fit loose, like I expected, but it just wasn't flattering on me. It made me look a lot bigger than I expected. It looked great from one angle, but it just wasn't for me. I didn't end up wearing it partially because it was damaged upon arrival. But RTR made it right, as usual!

Very elegant dress for black tie event
This was a beautiful dress for a black tie event. It fit like a glove! The waist and bust are very fitted and zip closed, so be sure not to order a size down. I am almost 5'4" and the regular length was perfect on me with 3 inch heals. I didn't feel the need to wear a necklace because of all the detailing up top. The fabric can get a little static-y, so use some dryer sheets or static guard to spray on your before you get dressed. I didn't need to reply the static guard the rest of the night - it was fine. It wasn't as form fitting from the waist down, which was good for fit reasons. But I just felt it didn't give me quite the shape I wanted on the bottom. But I was happy with the overall look! A very beautiful dress to rent for a formal event!

Beautiful dress, very comfortable!
I loved this dress. It was very easy to wear, wasn't tight in any places. I wore it to a baby shower and also my birthday dinner the same weekend. The chain/neck tie part that came with it was not the same in the pictures (I don't think). It was quite a large, silver chain instead of the more thin, gold-ish color that is shown. I made it work though. Also, I was a little disappointed in how the zipper was made in the back of the dress - it didn't lay flat and so there was a little bump/ridge right around the butt area. I was just surprised since it is a Lilly Pulitzer dress, I expected it to be made to a higher quality. It was nothing major though and because it wasn't fitted, it probably wasn't noticeable to any other than me. I am almost 5'4" and the length was pretty perfect, slightly too long to have complete flats/sandals on. I just tightened the chain at the top, and that seemed to lift the bottom hem up enough that I could wear sandals and not step on the bottom of the dress. Overall, I loved renting this dress and have already rented it again for a backyard wedding this summer. You won't be disappointed with this one!

Great dress for a wedding!
I loved this dress! This was my first RTR experience and it was flawless. The dress is a shift dress, so I expected it to fit as such, and be a little "baggy" in places (mainly the waistline area). The 4 fit perfectly. I could have worn the 6, but it just seemed a little extra baggy and the 4 game me a little bit more shape. I did need to be careful a few times when giving taller people hugs, and lifting my arms way over head - the dress rode up a lot in this case. I could dance just fine though. The picture makes it look like it fit tighter around my waist, but it's just from my hubby's arm around me. It wasn't fitted around the waistline. Loved the color and the length was appropriate for a wedding. I would rent this dress again!

Size up! - But overall a great looking dress!!
This dress definitely runs small. For me it was the smallest in the hip area. I order the 4, with the 6 as my backup. Unfortunately, the size 6 was damaged by a previous renter and so only the 4 was available. But only a size 2 was sent accidently! So it was much much smaller than I anticipated and I was not able to use the 2. RTR definitely made things right - customer service was GREAT!! I had to wear a back up dress I already owned for my office party. But I look forward to renting this dress again in the correct size. I would probably order an 8 (maybe a 6) based on the way the size 2 fit. The fabric is thicker than I thought, but I liked it. It's a great print - something different.
