Not quite right
The fabric is beautiful and the drape of the dress is very flattering, however, the slip/liner is visible in the front no matter how you wear it and the ties are slightly shorter than they should be so you almost have to tie the dress in the back. It's so close to being a great dress but they messed up the little details.

Misses the mark
Really wanted to love this dress as a comfortable, casual everyday option for upcoming travel but it was just too big and ended up looking sloppy rather than cute. Didn't even make it out of the apartment.

Attractive business formal but runs small
Absolutely loved this dress - was able to comply with my company's business formal dress code while also looking terrific. The fabric is thick enough that you don't need to worry about every lump and bump but spanx may definitely be preferable. I did find that this ran a bit tight across the shoulders and chest - I have athletic shoulders but a small chest (32A) and usually wear a size 0 in dresses but definitely glad I had the 2 in this one! Color seems more reddish-orange than red.

Perfect alternative to casual dress
Loved this piece although I found that it was a bit tight in the ribcage and I am a 32A. Wore it regardless to friend's party but probably would have had to size up if I was going out for a meal. I was worried about the length because I am 5'11" and there doesn't seem to be a long length but it looked great while standing (just a tad short while sitting). Fabric is great for cool summer evening and it was think enough that I was able to wear it without a bra

Missed the mark
Would have been a good basic dress for work but ribcage was incredibly tight. I am a 32A in bra sizes and I still felt constricted in the size 2 dress. Might be better if you have a tiny frame

Fun details on a classic
This jacket fit perfectly with just enough detailing to make it fun! It was perfectly suitable for my conservative office but less stuffy than the usual jacket. Button on the front was slightly chipped but it wasn't that noticeable while wearing

Odd fit
I was incredibly excited for this blazer because of the print but the fit was so unusual that I returned it without ever wearing it. The shoulders are somewhat tight and the body is much larger so even if you leave it unbuttoned to accommodate the shoulders, the body of the blazer is so large that it's unflattering. In addition, there is little to no stretch. Great idea but I would not recommend it to anyone.

Classic Lilly
Great dress but it runs slightly larger than other Lilly dresses. Good staple but it wont make you stand out in the crowd. Back has a nice V that makes it feel slightly younger and sexier.

Fresh, fun, flirty
Wore this dress for our anniversary date in Miami and it was absolutely perfect! Very flattering print and cut and great colors without being overwhelmingly "tropical". The dress doesn't have very much (if any) stretch, however, so be prepared for it to ride up a little bit when you sit and size up if you're between sizes.

Classic
Great dress, although seemed more grayish than the blue in the picture - kind of like a steel blue. Fit perfectly and was very professional but attractive. Definitely need to accessorize to make the outfit notable.

Beautiful color but otherwise unremarkable
Loved the color of this dress but felt like it was otherwise lacking. The size 0 seemed slightly large so it hung more on my upper body that I would've liked - probably better suited to girls with a larger chest. I am quite tall compared to the average girl (5'11") and the dress nearly came to my knees so I don't see this being a good fit for anyone shorter.

Cute take on a classic
Beautiful deep red color. The body fit true to size but the neck is a but tight; you need to be careful about how you sit so that it doesn't tighten any further. Tall girls would need to wear tights to make this workplace appropriate but otherwise I loved it and got a lot of compliments!

Cute top for work & play
Gorgeous print - even my boss came over to my desk to compliment it. The top is incredibly flattering but the material is slightly itchy when you first put it on - this feeling seemed to go away after wearing it for 30 min or so. The shoulders are slightly tight but stick with the smaller end of your size range because the body is wide and forgiving. The scuba material is a bit think so this is probably best suited to areas with a warmer winter season or spring.

Perfect work dress
Beautifully made yet simple work dress. Looks great with tights - otherwise it might be a bit short for tall girls if you're in a conservative office. The bodice is a little bit tight when you first put it on but it loosens just the tiniest bit over the course of the day so the fit stays flattering.

Simple, classic dress
Great fit and fabric - very flattering for a tall, slim body - but overall it was somewhat nondescript. Sometimes that's exactly what you need but definitely no wow factor. Very comfortable but too short for work (if you have a conservative workplace) if you are over 5'9".

I felt so glamorous and comfortable all night!
This dress was one of the best rentals I have ever had from RTR. I wish that I had an occasion to wear it again. The fit is very true to size. Other reviews made it seem as though the dress was incredibly long, so I only ordered the regular length. It ended up working for me because I wore flats, but if I could do it again I would order the long. I am 5'11" and the regular length just skimmed the floor. The dress is incredibly comfortable. Don't bother with a bra unless you need the extra support because the dress is well-structured on top.

Definite sex appeal without being inappropriate
The dress is incredibly tight when you first put it on, but keep in mind that if you're going to be moving around that the dress will loosen up a bit as it stretches. If you have a small chest like me then use double-sided tape. The fit is not very forgiving so spanx might not be a bad idea!!

Received so many compliments even though my look felt effortless!
This was probably the most comfortable dress that I have ever worn to a formal. Keep in mind that the dress's material is very stretchy so you may want to consider ordering on the smaller range of dresses that normally fit you. The open back and the neckline were very flattering (even for someone with a small chest like me), but you definitely need a backless bra of some sort. Even though it is tight, the dress doesn't ride up which is fabulous!! The color isn't quite forest green, but it is very flattering nonetheless.

I've rarely gotten so many compliments on one dress!
Keep in mind that designer dresses tend to run small. I have an athletic build with narrow hips and wider shoulders. I normally wear a size 0 in dresses, but for this dress I had to wear a size 2 to fit it over my hips. It's a beautiful dress but it does get a bit warm, so consider the weather/occasion before deciding to order it!
