Adorable!
This top is the cutest ever! I typically wear a 10-12 and ordered a 14 because I really wanted to try it! So it was a little big, but probably runs true to size. But it being a little large wasn’t a big deal, it’s light and swingy - I wore it with black shorts and white jeans

Little more formal than the pictures suggest
The fabric is a beautiful jacquard, and the flowers are so detailed - very pretty! The length was perfect for me (5’8 with a long torso). The top ran a little large, but I’m sort of between a 10/12 so I’d say it runs true to size. Perfect for a graduation party or a shower.

Great style
Fits like a dream - so airy, and fun! I didn’t love the colors - they were much more muted/muddied in person

A-cup girlies only!
I could technically fit my boobs into the cups (I am a C-cup) but since it’s a stretchy material, there’s no way they would stay put/no support to actually hold anything in place. The cups are maybe A size and kept shifting to sort of sit on top of my boobs…it was awkward at home, so I definitely didn’t feel comfortable going out and readjusting all night. Bummer, bc it’s super cute! Perfect for date night

It’s Navy - not Black
It’s super cute, substantial weight to hang correctly, but to manage expectations: I blundered by taking the size 4 when I really needed the 3. I’m a size 10-12 normally, and it was fine to get by, but I would consider sizing down if you’re not especially large on top. Also, it’s definitely navy, not black, so it threw off my planned outfit. But if you plan on it being navy and the correct size, it’s ADORABLE!

Super cute & festive
Runs true to size, maybe even a little on the roomier side. I often size up for length (long torso problems!) or if something is especially slim, so my algorithm is a bit off - RTR suggested an XL and as a size 12, it was just way too big, especially in the shoulders. I sadly didn’t wear it but will hopefully exchange for a L or maybe even a M.

Gorgeous velvet!
Fits perfectly true to size and the velvet is super soft and luxurious. The top was a bit finicky though and required a lot of tape and prayers it would stay in place. It looked so pretty at home, but I was nervous about accidentally flashing while out. I’m 5’8 and it’s a smidge on the shorter side.

Just OK
As others have said, it runs large - size down. There’s extra fabric in the hips that sticks out. Unfortunately the fabric holds odors so even though it was technically clean when it arrived, it started to smell funky as soon as I put it on.

Very light & sheer - but it has pockets!
Super lightweight & perfect for a hot day (though be warned, even though it’s lined, it’s still very sheer). The size recommended for me was either a L or XL but only XL was available. It was definitely too big, so I would suggest getting your normal size. The tie at the waist was super high on me (I have a long torso) so it felt a bit awkward because it was nowhere near my natural waist - it would probably work well for maternity though! The sleeves don’t have any elastic - they were not tight at all (thankfully!) but they fall right at the elbow so there’s a constant reminder there’s something around your arm with zero give. It has pockets! And would be cute for a pool or beach party or just staying cool without being too exposed to the sun.

Cute!
Perfect for a daytime party or vacation. It's short, but thankfully not as short as other Lilly styles and I appreciated the little bit of extra length. It runs true to size, but is close fitting. Very cute!

Unlined long blazer
Huge miss. This is not a "coat" but more of a long unlined twill jacket. The design is pretty, but the thin fabric is an odd choice for the style and it hangs awkwardly. You can't wear it for warmth, yet it has a definitive outerwear style. Didn't wear.

Gorgeous color
Runs small. I sized up, but at 5'8" it felt both a little too slim and short for my comfort. I can do one or the other, but not both. Gorgeous color and style though.

Gorgeous fabric and print
Pros: The fabric is a silk twill and has a great feel, plus the print is Interesting and perfect for fall. It's very flowy and comfortable. Cons: The overall design of the dress runs large and honestly it just felt frumpy. The length was a little awkward and the arms/shoulder/chest area are humongous. Bottom line: I really wanted to love this dress, but I wore it to a party and didn't get any compliments.

Gorgeous! But you'll need help with the zipper
Perfect mix of fancy and not too over the top to celebrate my husband's birthday at an upscale restaurant. The 10 was a perfect fit, though the zipper is a beast to get over the waist seam because the fabric is really thick. i.e. it's hard to zip even when you're not wearing it. I had to put it on backwards and hold it together while my husband pulled the zipper. (Then it was easy to turn it around) So plan on having a buddy to help you get in this dress! Loved the crispness of the shoulder ties and pretty much everything about this dress! I wore a nu-bra but didn't really need one.

High waist
Gorgeous dress, but the waistline is really high - it was about 1-2" below my bra, and flared out a bit awkwardly so I looked 5 months pregnant. And I'm not pregnant. But - would be great for someone who is expecting! Overall, the fit was great (arms, neckline, length) & such a cute print. Too bad it didn't work for me.

Gorgeous cut - but runs big
The dress is very pretty and the overall style is flattering. However, I found it runs large and if you're not tall enough and don't pair it with heels, it will likely appear dowdy. I'm borderline between a 10 & 12 and ordered the 12. Definitely needed the 10. The dress has a partial side zip and a couple of snaps above the waist. Other reviewers don't like this feature but I actually thought it was genius. I often struggle with side zippers and pretty much any zipper that has to cross over a waistline seam. Even if the dress is big, the zipper always gets stuck. So the snaps were much easier for me to maneuver! It's low cut but I fixed it with fashion tape. A cami would work well also. Instead of tying on the side I pulled it right in the middle to create a better fit / prevent it from just hanging there as it was a smidge too large.

Cute & Versatile
Super stylish and good for a variety of occasions. I have a long torso and found it to be rather short. Ended up wearing a black tank underneath to add balance between top/bottom. The material is thick, so probably not good for summer.

Flattering fit!
This dress is so flattering and a perfect fit! I wish it came in other prints - I'd wear it every day. It's a twill silk and the weight, length and cut are great for work or after work events. It's hard to tell how great it is from the pictures, but if you're considering it, I say go for it!

Perfect for summer!
As others have mentioned, the waist is really small and the snaps that hold the dress together are basically worthless. However, once I got it on & positioned correctly (secured with safety pins - you'll need 3) it turned out to be my most favorite rental to date! It's perfect for an afternoon of brunch, shopping, walking around or dinner out. It's definitely short but the skirt part is flowy & I found be it to be very flattering, overall comfortable & most importantly cute!
