Too much
I didn’t wear it. It was a lot of dress and made me feel older. So, I passed on it.

Size matters
I sized up and it still was not enough. The sizing doesn’t seem right. Either size up a couple of sizes or just pass on this one. I promptly returned this dress.

Best dress ever
I took this on a trip to NYC. It packed well and was super comfortable. The dress was perfect for the winter weather paired with high leather boots. It was so practical that I was able to wear it more the once. It was also extremely flattering. I would love to buy it.

Wow!! Felt like I lost weight!!
The design of this dress was amazing. So many people told me I looked thinner. I went to a very cool outdoor wedding so the length was great. I’m 5’5 and it was long on me, but it worked with my heels. It was super comfortable and great for dancing! I will definitely rent in the future.

Beach dress
Very thin material so good dress for a hot Florida evening. The wrap comes down a tad low, so I used a safety pin to keep it a bit more conservative. It would also work with a camisole. Comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I did have to iron because it wrinkles easily.

Birthday dress
Extremely comfortable and flattering dress. The material is light weight, but there is a lining underneath that makes it a little heavy. The lines are navy and well placed to be forgiving for any body flaws you may want to cover. Easy dress to dress up or down with accessories.

Comfy and forgiving
Large was initially good but XL gave me a little wiggle room. Great cut and print with soft comfortable fabric. Great choice for a special evening dinner with friends.

Mother's Day rental
This dress was very comfy and easy to transition from casual to dressy. Wore during the day with white keds then later for dinner with scrappy sandals. Forgiving in all the right places. The fabric is a little heavy for Florida, but all in all nice dress. The large would've worked, but XL was more comfy.

Red Utility Dress
Derek Lam 10 Crosby x RTR
Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 12

Stylish and Comfortable
I wore this for a special dinner party. It was very comfortable; however, a large was a bit large. A medium would've been a better fit. I received some very nice compliments. It was a very nice color and material.

Understated Glam
I probably could've worn a smaller size but an XL was fine. I paired with some crushed velvet pink pants. It was great for a festive evening and was dressed up with heels, but could've easily been paired with blue jeans.

Great dress!
Very comfy and flattering dress. Easy to dress up or down with accessories and shoes. It was a little big, so recommend sizing down. I always have good luck with Lily.

Wow large!
Didn't end up wearing this. The sleeves are super large and hang down. You can't really tell in the model, but it was very big and awkward. This was in the smaller size too. I sent back.

Cute festive print
The beauty of this print is that you can pair it with virtually any color. On a cool FL evening it went great with my red sweater and jeans. I wish I ordered a medium because the large was too big and I had to pin back. Still as lovely blouse and received many compliments.

New Years Eve
Unfortunately a large wasn't available, so I chose an XL. It was okay, but a bit large. Very comfortable material and flattering cut. I think a smaller size would've been better, but all in all a lovely dress.

Very classic and comfortable
It was a great fit for a work dinner. It was also very comfortable while being classy. I got great compliments on the dress. My only issue is that it was a little longer than I expected. I just made sure to wear higher heels.

Beautiful and comfortable wrap dress for work in the day time and dinner at night. It was a little low in the chest, but an easy fix.

Classic Black Dress
I wore this for my grandma's funeral. I had to speak and this was a very comfortable and stylish dress. The 12 was a little snug and the 14 was a better fit.

Easter Dress
Love Lily dresses because they're perfect for a spring day in Florida. This dress ran a little big for me. It worked, but I probably would've been okay with a smaller size. Very comfortable!

Too big
The fabric was very comfortable; however, it was very big. I felt like I was wearing a tent.
Red Mindy Dress

Very classic little black dress
I usually wear a 12, but needed to size up because it was snug in the chest. It was a very shapely dress, but very comfortable. My only issue was its awkward design. You cannot zip down the collar, so it's a separate piece. You have to actually pull the dress over your head to get into. Needed to touch up hair and make up afterwards. Other than that it was very nice.

Comfortable choice
It was a good color for a holiday party. The material was very comfortable and the pockets were a plus. The material doesn't wrinkle. There is no zipper, so this is a pull over dress. It was a little large, but I made the larger size work. The belt is attached, so it was a little awkward trying to make it fit. I just twisted it in the back to tighten the dress up. I wore it with a black sweater. I didn't care for the sleeves, but the sweater was an easy fix. Overall not a bad choice.
Green Riverside Dress
Of Mercer
Size Worn: XL
Usual Size: 12
Height: 5' 5"
Fantastic fit and comfort
Great comfortable dress for Friendsgiving. It does appear denim, but the material is much more light weight. For our Florida climate it was ideal. As a result, I opted to roll the sleeves up. I would suggest wearing a belt for a more defined waist. I could’ve gone with a large, but chose to wear an extra large because sometimes button downs can gap on me. I received many compliments during the evening. I would definitely rent again.

Great comfortable fit on a hot summer day
Great fit with flowing material that is forgiving for all body types. The light material is also perfect for warm summer days. Definitely a dress you can dress up with heels or cute flat sandals. Very versatile!

Didn't wear
I rented this for an award ceremony. Despite being an a line dress it's a bit clingy - especially in the tummy area. The material is also very heavy and too warm for Florida. Unfortunately I had to send it back.

Graduation ceremony dress
Despite the fact I had a gown over this dress for a graduation speech, I enjoyed wearing it before and after the ceremony. It was very comfortable and the pockets were a plus. I chose this dress thinking it was orange, but it's more of a coral. Still a great choice.

Normally I wear a 12, but the 14 was more comfortable for dancing. I received nice compliments on the dress. It was very flattering. Great first time RTR experience.
