Classy, and subtly sexy
Wore this to a formal work Christmas party and it was a hit. I got numerous compliments on how classy it was. There is a subtle sparkle detail that makes it festive and dressier than just a lace dress. The fit was great and I felt very secure all night, no tugging. I'm 5'7' and the bottom hit right below the knee, perfect for a work event. The black and flattering fit made it feel sexy but still very appropriate for a work party.

Unflattering
I was so excited to rent this dress for my 25th birthday, which is on New Year's Eve. I was so disappointed when it arrived though. I tried it on and it was one of the most unflattering dresses I've ever worn. It was comfortable and the sleeves were long enough, it was warm, but it made me look incredibly frumpy. The material bunched in all the wrong places when I moved. After a few steps the dress would ride up and become too short while also making my stomach and hips look larger. I immediately returned it and RTR customer service was amazing. I got a replacement dress in time for my birthday.

Classy and comfortable LBD
Wore this dress for my birthday on a cold December night. The thick material kept me warm and was very flattering. I felt this dress ran true to size. It was very comfortable, has a little bit of stretch, and enough structure that bra and undie lines weren't an issue. The laser cut outs added some sass that made this dress fun enough for a night out. The flared out sleeves were cute but they did dip into my dinner a few times. I'd rent this again for a number of events.

Bright and fun Lilly rental
I rented a 4 with a back up 2 in this style and wish I'd gotten a 0. I always wear a 4 in Lilly but I found that this style ran large and fits loosely. After sitting through a wedding ceremony the dress had stretched a bit and was even more loose. It was very comfortable all night though. The neck detail added enough that minimal jewelry was all that was needed. Even though this is a newer addition to RTR, the size 4 I got looked so worn and faded already. The 4 was an entirely different shade lighter than the 2 and the neck line embellishments were frayed. I'd recommend sizing down for this rental.

Classy and feminine
Another awesome Lilly rental! This is the seventh Lilly dress I've rented and its in my top two. I love the shift style, it fits very comfortably and is so flattering. The fabric is thicker which made it more comfortable and a little warmer, it has some stretch in it too. I opted for the 2 instead of the 4, knowing that the 2 would stretch throughout the night. The cons are that it wrinkles easily, so it's not great for an event that requires a lot of sitting. The neckline is beautiful, but very high which also makes it a downside for sitting - I was choked if I didn't sit carefully. I felt beautiful and comfortable in it all night long.

Worth it for frequent renters
I'm a military wife and often need dresses for a variety of functions and dress codes. Pro cuts down the cost of every rental and makes it worth every penny. I love the free birthday dress too!

Comfortable and adorable dress
This shift style Lilly dress fit better than others I've rented in the past. The arm holes didn't cut into me, they were comfortable and let me move. I thought this may have run a little large for a 4 but I was comfortable all day so I didn't mind. It's a shift style so don't rent this if you want to show off any curves or have shape. If you want to be cute and comfortable all day in a colorful dress though, than this one is great.

Amazing dress. Wish I could buy it!
This dress is gorgeous and I have never received so many compliments. The color is a beautiful shade of blue, the light gold embellishments on the front add elegance. The length is perfect, the fit is flattering, the neckline was comfortable and not too tight. The material is thicker, so lines of undergarments couldn't be seen. My only complaint was that the material got wrinkled easily after sitting through a ceremony for over an hour. Luckily though, I ordered a back up size 2 that fit me well, too. I switched to the slightly tighter 2 for the rest of the evening and no one noticed. I would recommend this dress for any occasion.

Pockets!
This dress was a little on the short side, but was fine for under my graduation gown. I loved that it had pockets, and they didn't add any extra bulk at the hips. I found the arms and the neck to be tight, but I find that with most Lilly dresses. It could be restricting for someone looking to dance in this dress. The colors were great and the dress is very feminine. Another great Lilly.

This dress is BRIGHT!
This dress is bright and fun. It fits well and is comfortable. I love the clips under the straps that keep your bra where it's supposed to be. I'm 5'7'' and it was bordering on too short, since I had to walk across a raised stage. The material is thick and makes the bottom poof out a little, which I loved. Great summery dress.

Another great Lilly dress
The detail on this dress is beautiful, the color really pops, and it was a great length, not too short. The only downside was how tight it was in the arms. I read this in other reviews and thought my 34A cup size would give me more room on top, but I was wrong. Luckily there is a keyhole style back that allowed for a little more wiggle room. I love Lilly dresses and this was the fourth one I've rented and by far the most uncomfortable. I felt great in it, as I always do in Lilly, but I was tugging at the arm holes all night long.

Classy but casual
This dress is a great length and fit well overall. It was a little tight in the ribcage area because the material has no stretch, though I was sitting for the majority of my time wearing this. It's a thicker material which made it great for a cold New Year's Eve. I loved the pockets and the snaps under the shoulder straps to keep my bra straps covered. It's a simple but classy dress that was exactly what I wanted

I've never gotten so many compliments on a dress. It was perfect for a Naval Officer commissioning.
The dress did not stretch as much as I thought and was a little snug. I ordered a 2 and 4, and went with the the snug 2 instead of the 4, which was too loose around the bust. I absolutely loved the style, the colors, and the rope detail at the neck. I have long legs and thought it was a little on the short side, but it still looked classy for a Navy commissioning ceremony. The nautical style was perfect for the event and I received many compliments all day.

The perfect style for a semi formal military event.
This dress fit like a glove. It had just enough stretch and was super comfortable. I loved that it had pockets! Great length, great style, great fit. Very classy and sophisticated look.

Great color and style for a family summer wedding
This dress is classy, an appropriate length and fit for a family wedding. The color is very pretty and is great for summer. I wish I had known how shear the fabric was though. I'm glad I had nude colored undergarments on hand. Even for a small bust, it was tighter across the chest.
