Nice thick material. I styled it with a pink cropped jacket also from RTR. Dress was a little longer than I would have liked, but not surprising as I’m 5’2.

This is a very beautiful and well made dress. It came new with tags. I wore to an evening garden wedding and received several compliments on it. It has boning in the bodice and had no issue staying put and giving nice cleavage. I’ve had a double mastectomy and reconstruction and usually stay away from anything that creates cleavage because I’m pretty uneven, but the structure in this dress really did wonders for making creating symmetry. A Win! The only issue I did have was because I am petite. The dress was floor length even with medium heels and the bodice was a little too long as you can see in the photo. Wonderful dress, though!

Arrived new with tags. This was perfect for a “garden chic” themed event. The fabric is beautiful. The only issue I had is that because I am short waisted, I would need a couple of inches taken out at the shoulders for a really good fit. At 5’2, the dress was almost floor length on me when the wearing wedges.

I had high hopes for this one, but the top was comically large on me, while the waist was tight. Sending back still new with tags. The fabric is beautiful, but it just didn’t work for me.

I was skeptical of this one, but it was new so I gave it a shot. It’s really just a long shirt dress with an extra panel on one side to fold over and make into a faux wrap skirt. The wrap part didn’t fit the same on me as in the photos, though. There wasn’t enough fabric in the “wrap” part to cover the last few buttons going down the middle of the shirt dress, so it just looked bizarre. Maybe it will work on someone with a tiny waistline, which would allow more of a wrap effect. Also, the fabric was stiff and noisy like paper when I walked. I didn’t wear it other than to try it on.

This romper has bright, beautiful colors and fit well, but it made me look larger than I am. I wore the sleeves as 3/4 length rather than full on poofy, but either way, it just wasn't the most flattering on my petite frame. I ended up wearing a denim jacket with it.

This was a perfect fit for me. I wore it to a charity event with a Taylor Swift Eras Tour theme. People were stopping me all night to compliment the jumpsuit. There were only two negatives: 1) the sequins under the arms bothered me; and 2) I had to have help with the zipper.

I liked this dress and almost wish I’d bought it when the 4th of July sale was going on. It fit well and is a really versatile piece. It has pockets (yay!), and it didn’t wrinkle. The only complaint I have with it is I wish the neckline was a little lower because sometimes it would choke me when I sat down, especially if I was scooting backwards to get comfortable on the chaise part of my couch.

I didn’t wear this dress. The bust area of the bodice was too large. The armholes allowed a gaping view straight to my bra. I am petite and short waisted. I think the cut of the dress is meant for a taller lady. The bodice was much too long for me.

The color and style are beautiful, but the fit was off. The length and waist were a good fit, but the bust was too big for me and the straps were too long. I always go a size up in Lilly and that’s usually just right on me. I wanted to like this more than I did.

This dress is cute, but nothing special. It’s great for an everyday summer dress to wear around the house or to run errands in. I actually bought it when there was an extra 30% off sale. It has pockets. The fabric is thinner than I expected it to be though. Received compliments.

I’m not one for cut-outs, but tried this one and actually really liked it. The straps were a little big, but could be cross-crossed which solved the issue. It had a fantastic deep apron pocket in the middle of the front of the dress. I wore it to a cookout and for a long walk downtown and along the beach on a very warm day. The fabric was nice and cooling. My husband was sweating in a T-shirt and shorts, but I was comfortable.

I liked the color and style of the dress, but the 1st time I tried to wear it, I gave up because the zipper got stuck about halfway up where the fabric gets thicker. The 2nd time, I gave up after my adult daughter couldn’t get the zipper to budge. By the 3rd time, I’d seen a tip in these reviews to put the dress on backwards to zip, and then spin the dress around. That worked. It’s a mostly flattering dress with good pockets. The dress fit just right except in the chest and straps, where it was too big. (36B in a size 8).

I never wore this one. The quality of the fabric reminded me more of Shein than a high end brand. As a positive, it had no zipper, was easy to pull on, and the straps were adjustable. As negatives , even with the straps at their shortest length, the neckline was still lower than I was comfortable with and a little too blousy. Worst of all, the snap at the bust-line would NOT stay closed. As I went into my closet to change into something I would be more confident in, the snap popped open again, totally exposing me. This one was an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen.

I’d had my eye on this one and bought it when there was an extra 30% sale a few weeks ago. I always have to go up one size in Lilly and this was consistent (I bought a 10 though I’m typically an 8 in most brands). I wore it for the first time today to church. One lady who I hadn’t met before stopped me to say it was such at beautiful dress and she always enjoyed looking to see what I was wearing. A friend who knows about my RTR subscription stopped her car as she was leaving the parking lot and yelled out her window, “You need to buy that one!”

This dress fit me like a glove and got several compliments. I wish I could keep it. I’m going to keep my eye on it for a possible purchase in the future. It’s was comfortable and flattering. I am 5’2 and it was ankle length on me. I wore it with 3” heels. The green is darker than it appears in the model photos. It’s actually an olive green—same color as my eyes—probably another reason I liked it.

The colors are rich, and the fabric is high quality. The pockets are a nice bonus. The buttons on the waist and rib cage were sooo tight on me. I wore it out to dinner and I was absolutely miserable by the end of the meal. No dessert for me! If you have a nicely defined waist, you’ll probably be fine, but otherwise, this is likely not your best choice.

I cut the tags off this beautiful Lilly this morning and wore it all day Easter Sunday. The fit is just right for a Lilly (I already know that I need to size up one size). The fabric is very soft, and it is super comfortable. It arrived wrinkle free and stayed that way. If only it had pockets and the snap at the breast were sewn on stronger it would be just about perfect. The snap is already halfway off after only one wear, though. I plan to keeping this one a little while, so might have to break out the needle and thread.

I think I was the first person to rent this dress. I put it on a couple of times, but changed clothes both times prior to even leaving home. It was almost floor length on me and one of the cap sleeves wouldn’t stay put. The tags in the back were really, really itchy, too. The dress just wasn’t flattering on my petite frame. It kind of just hung on me like a sack. While the fabric looked high quality, the dress definitely did not look like it should be anything close to $1,695. Hopefully it looks amazing on you tall ladies, though.

I ventured out of my typical style with this one. It’s pretty and I wanted to like it. I wore it twice for about 2 hours each time, and both times I was so happy to be able to get home and change out of it. I wore it as shown in the model pics. First, there was just too much fabric for my liking. Second, the elastic at the bottom kept riding up and I didn’t want to show my midriff, so I kept having to pull it down, which got annoying. Third, the fabric/elastic on the right sleeve was too tight, both under my right armpit and if I tried to wear it above my wrist. I kept having to pull that down, too (and my wrists are tiny). To be fair, though, I am very conscious of anything cutting into my right arm because I’ve had a double mastectomy and reconstruction and am not supposed to wear tight straps or tight elastic on that arm. So, that aspect may have only been problematic for me.

I wore this to a cook-off event I chaired. I was running around, but never got hot—the fabric is cooling. It has pockets! It is a beautiful dress and I got tons of compliments from both women and men, but I almost didn’t wear it because it was so tight and pulling across the bust. I’m typically a size 6-8, but I really needed a large. At one point, a button actually popped open, and then I was hyper-conscious checking it. If not for sizing issue, I would have given 5 stars.
