Perfect for girls night out
I had ordered a size 6 in a different Lily dress and it was too small, after reading reviews that this dress runs large I ordered it in a size 6 (despite the previous one being small) and it fit great! It was a bit loose in the waist and hips area, but fit tight over my bust and I didn't want something tight anyway - got so many compliments!

Should have sized up!
I ordered my usual size - size 6 - and it was too tight, I didn't get a back up size so I was unable to wear it. I think I should have ordered an 8 or even a 10 (I've never been a size 10, but it probably would have fit).

Received so many compliments!
Loved this dress and felt like a rockstar. It's short though, I'm 5'4'' and could not wear heels, something to keep in mind! With flats it was the perfect length, although I had not intended on wearing flats. I have a large chest and the dress was stretchy enough, very flattering

Felt especially fancy for my birthday
I rented this for my girls night birthday party and I loved the dress. The color was very vibrant and deep - there were also sequins on it which was a really nice surprise. Everyone loved it! I'm a 34DD and weigh about 140lbs, the 6 was perfect but needed help to zip it up through the different kinds of fabric.

Perfect engagement photo dress!
I would have gone with a size 8 but it wasn't available - the size was a little small but the pictures looked amazing!

Great Fit!
This was my back-up dress, but it fit so well I wore it instead. The fit was amazing, I have a wide rib cage (plus 34DD chest) and had no issues. Great for my company Christmas Party!

Felt incredibly regal!
My company had a formal ball that I wore this to, originally was my back up but fit way better than my initial choice! The fabric is thick, and does not have much give, the color of the dress is amazing. I do have a DD chest and should have ordered a size six because it was pretty tight and the fabric pulled strangely over my chest, but it wasn't super noticeable. Overall a wonderful dress, felt amazing!

Ended up going with my backup (sorry for the poor lighting, needed to share how it fit on me though)
Turns out I need a dress with more structure to it, this dress is made of a stretchy material and it just stretches over whatever you have - and it really did my body no favors. I'm pretty busty with a wide chest and this made me look and feel straight up and down, I kept re-trying it on in hopes that it'd change! I will say there are ways I could stand to make the dress look flattering, but chances are I won't be able to pose all night and went with another dress I ordered. I could wear the 2 or the 4 since they were stretchy, it just depends on how tight you want your dress (note: the tighter the dress does not mean it will hold you in - it'll just stretch tighter around your body which may or may not be a plus!).
