Pretty lace, odd fit
Pros: The color of this top is really pretty in person and the lace was good quality Cons: The fit is kind of bizarre. I found it to be uncomfortably tight across the upper arms and chest, while still being quite large and longer in the waist and hips. Ordered it thinking it would be a comfortable and forgiving work top but wasn't able to wear from how snug it was in the chest. Not for the larger chested ladies!

Super soft and comfortable!
Would definitely rent again - I though the fit was true to size and super soft. Definitely needed to pair some spanx with it though to smooth everything out underneath though.

Comfy fall top
This top is super baggy so you can size down if you don't want a VERY generous fit. It's also much shorter than I expected, more into crop top territory in the front than a standard shirt. I ended up wearing with a cami and it was totally fine, but you will need to plan to wear with very high waisted jeans or a cami if you don't want to rock a crop top!

Size Down
This dress is incredibly comfortable but runs VERY large. Thank goodness the print sort of hid that it swallowed me up an I wore it anyways. Will definitely rent again in a size down!

Beautiful and surprisingly comfortable
I have a 36G chest and felt appropriately covered for a wedding in the 1XR dress with 1 safety pin in the top. The straps only adjust so much, and at their tightest they still moved around a bit but didn't slip completely off my shoulders so it was fine. I'm 5'2'' and the dress barely brushed the ground in 3 inch heels. The wrap style ended up being super comfortable for a wedding - I loosened it a hair by the end of the night and felt great throughout!

Easy warm weather dress
Sized up just to be safe on the top half as I usually do with button up tops and was glad I did. The snaps in between the buttons are genius and didn't have any issues with the top gaping in the larger size. Surprisingly enough, the waist felt just a teeny bit more snug than I expected. 9/10 times my hips and chest cause fit issues so that was a bit surprising - heads up for the apple shapes. Was also a tad short so probably better suited for shorter girls.

SO comfy
On my 5'2'' frame this wasn't cropped looking - it was right at ankle length. The ties at the top were great to adjust the length on the top half. I wouldn't necessarily call this the most flattering outfit but it was insanely comfortable. Wore it to a casual dinner at a friends house and to run errands the following day.

Loved it!
I'm obsessed with this jumpsuit! Super comfortable, fit like pants on my 5'2'' frame so the length was fine. As others mentioned - the straps are nonsense. I safety pinned them a solid 2-3 inches and they still slipped down. I finally just tucked them in and wore it strapless near the end of the night. I didn't find good use for the belt either, I liked the outfit better without it. Wore it to a birthday dinner and drinks and again to church and lunch later in the weekend with a jean jacket. Super versatile!

Strange Fit
The fit of this dress was really strange. I'm large chested F-G cup and normally have to size up to accommodate the girls and this top was too large in the chest even for me. It just felt really billowy on top and I couldn't get the elastic waste to settle to a spot that made the dress look normal. I think it's the heavier fabric that caused it to lay weird but I ended up sending back rather than tugging at it at work all day.

Obsessed with this Top
It's definitely on the looser side, I likely could have sized down and either size would have worked great. The detail around the neck and shoulders is beautiful and I received a ton of compliments. I wore this to sing at an event and even with lights and cameras no one noticed I had a regular bra on and the nude straps wren't visible through the lace. The only con to this top is you couldn't put on a cardigan or light jacket over it, the ruffles at the shoulders make for an awkward lumpy mess. On it's own though it's awesome - will definitely rent again!

Heavier than expected
I rented this for a friend's birthday party. The fabric is much heavier and nicer than expected - and the elastic is thick and a little tough to stay in place. Ultimately decided it was a bit too nice/heavy for a July garden party birthday dinner in NC. You could definitely pair this with a cute heel for a summer wedding though.

Great day time dress
There's no stretch to this dress but I was comfortable in it all day. Heads up to busty girls that I did need to safety pin the top in 2 places so it did not gap, but was great paired with a cardigan for work. The buttons do button all the way down so there is a few inches of slit at the bottom where the buttons end. Was fine sitting at my height but I might have been cautious if I was taller or added a safety pin there.

Super Comfortable!
Definitely ran larger in the hips than expected so will likely size down the next go-round (I'm generally between a 14/16 depending on brands). This dress was VERY comfortable and the colors were vibrant. The top is cut at the top of the shoulder where normal bra straps will peek out at the top. Was totally fine paired with a navy cardigan for work, but would wear a strapless bra to wear this without a cardigan. Will rent again!

Cute, but very long top
Comfortable fit, very bright almost neon pink. Love Lilly, but this top is really made for longer waisted / taller women. On my 5'2'' frame the peplum part hit at the widest part of my hips and just didn't look quite right. Heads up for short waisted women!

Cute dress, worked great for the office Christmas party.
Ran a little big, but was conservative enough for my office Christmas party. Very comfortable dress, looked great with big earings. Roomy enough for my bottom half but felt a little big in the waist and top, which is suprirsing since I have a DD chest. If I owned the dress I'd probably have it taken in slightly in the top but overall a good option for an event where you need to look nice while being covered up.
