Beautiful but too big
Cons - very long. Not good if you're short.

Not impressive in person
The exterior shows scuffs easily and the pattern doesnt look as impactful and good and rather just screen printed

Fun, punchy dress
Unfortunately this was just too big on me - I would've loved to have worn it for the event I have coming up.

Work option too small
Tight in the arms and back - no "give" to it - so if you have a larger bust or stronger arms size up.

I wish I could own this!
The sleeves were fun, but not in the way. It was a flattering fit - didn't feel like a tent as sometimes sheaths can. The color was amazing - perfect for spring!

Bridal Shower Elegance
I wore this to a bridal shower for a friend whose wedding I am in. I got so many compliments on the peachy color - and I loved the texture of the fabric. The size 10 was too snug in my bust so I sized up to a 12, but then it was very large in my mid-section, alas the constant problem of having a big chest. If I'd of worn it for more than 3 hours at an event I would have been a bit more self-conscious of it being too large, but it worked for this.

Birthday Dress!
I wanted a dress for my July birthday that was fun and had some punch, but not to dressy for a nice casual restaurant. This Lilly was perfect for that. You can't tell in the photo very well but the dress is threaded with silverescent accents that give it a little extra flair! My only hang up was that it was a bit tight in the stomach after sitting down for a long time....but that may have been the over-eating on your birthday ;) - All in all a good rental for a semi casual event!

Showstopping!
I wore this to a wedding where I was their coordinator. It was over MDW at an Arboreteum and was perfect for the semi-formal garden atmosphere. I sized up only because I was the coordinator I needed extra room to bend and run around, but the 8 would've sufficed otherwise. I paired it with glittery silver Jack Rogers, but had it been more formal and indoors a nude pump or sandal would have been great. No need for much jewelry either!

Derby perfection!
This was honestly one of my favorite rentals to date. DVF - how can you go wrong! Added bonus was a bunch of stretch - and my favorite - pockets!!!! I rounded out the look with a simple black hat and my tried-and-true gold Jack Rogers sandals. Highly recommended - especially for girls with hips & a bust - very comfortable!

Perfect dress to ring in the new year!
I LOVED this dress! I was great because it was different than many other sparkly dress options because it wasn't super tight, and because I have a large backside and hips, I appreciated the extra shift-style like room! I got so many compliments all night! And it truly looked navy not black. A wonderful dress for a special occasion!

Perfect holiday dress!
I loved the "twirl" of this dress from the pleated details! I couldnt wear a bra, just a cami underneath so if youre large chested you may want to size up.

Breezy fabric perfect for summer
I wore this dress for my birthday bbq - it was chic and structured which I liked, but had a fun casualness with pockets and a lightweight fabric. If you are busty, I do suggest going up a size from your norm to accomodate a strapless bra.

Best birthday dress ever!
I wore this for my 27th birthday dinner at a seafood restaurant - perfect fabric for a July night! I wore the size 12, because although the 10 fit, it was a little looser and longer - more appropriate for the casual setting. I got SO many compliments on this dress - this is my favorite rental to date and the one I'd most like to own/not give back!

Disappointing for a Lilly
The fabric was really heavy, and the flourescent was kind of "off" - it just wasn't as fun in person as I'd seen it pictured. Really tight in the bust. Sent them back and wore a navy dress I already had.

I didnt want to return it!
The weight of the material is amazing, so well-tailored. I have a large chest and felt supported enough with the darting in the bust to not wear a bra (and is heavily lined). Loved it!

Great first RTR experience!
I wore this to a sit-down 5 course Engagement Party Dinner. I rented the 8 and the 10, but ended up wearing the 10 because I needed more room in the bust. I have a large chest, and wearing a bra underneath wasn't a possibility, and I had to tug a bit to keep the band from tucking under my chest. Other than that, it was a wonderful dress. The blue was perfect for mid-Spring and the fabric had wonderful "move" to it. The dress was in impeccable condition!
