OK
i didn't love this, but it was a replacement for another dress and of my options, it was the winning vote. i wasn't crazy about the placement of the cutout, but I was able to pull it up so more skin was hidden/my spanx could be worn.

the bow was weird to me
i had high hopes for this dress and it fit really well - but there was something about the size and placement of the bow that, when i saw it on myself, i just didn't love.

LOVED THE COLOR
I liked this dress a lot. Could tell that it had been worn as a lot of the lace seemed to be fraying. Didn't take away from the dress at all. I tried the 4 and the 6. The 4 fit, but was snug in the hips - I went with the 6 to give a little more freedom to move. I wore it to a baby shower AND a wedding and it kept the shape all day long, which I loved (ya know how some dresses can stretch out after awhile?!)

Bright and Comfortable for Bridal Shower!
Typical Lilly bright colors made this an easy choice for my future SIL's bridal shower, and the 2 was a perfect fit to be forgiving in the midsection while not feeling too boxy!

I didn't end up wearing, but it was beautiful!
I liked this dress a lot, but it felt a bit too formal for a bridal shower - I was hoping it would have more of a sundress feel.

I loved this dress! Super flattering with a bit of sass in the cutout.
The 2 and the 4 both fit, but i opted for the 4 (even though it was a little bigger in the chest) because I didn't want the 2 to ride up and seem "too small".

Favorite dress.
This dress was better than I expected! The colors are gorgeous, it fit like a glove, and it was perfect for the vineyard wedding we attended. The only down side was some parts of the dress were starting to pull a little, but it was only noticeable to me. I will definitely rent this one again!

So bright and comfy!
I rented this for a fancier bridal shower, and I loved it! Both the 2 and the 4 fit, but the 2 was a bit snug so I seized up with the 4. No bra, no problem - the material is thick enough to not need one if you can go without. I looooooved this dress and fully intend on renting again!

LOVED THIS DRESS
This dress was beautiful and classy. I loved the lace material - felt stronger than a lot of the other overlays and was very comfortable and easy to move in. Also loved the buttons on the straps to hold the bra in place so it wouldn't peek out. I had to wear the 4 because the 2 was unavailable, and I noticed it felt a little big all over, but not overwhelmingly big that it was unwearable. The 2 would probably have fit perfectly.

Adorable!
Didn't get a chance to wear this but tried it on before I sent it back, and I love the cut and color of this dress! The 4 was a little big in the bust but had it arrived on time would have been perfect for my event!

Grandma's Curtain - too much!
This was a last minute backup sent to me after ups had a blip and I wasn't going to be in town when my original dress came in. I had high hopes because of all the reviews, and the lace and the color was similar to the one I rented. The dress fit OK, but I couldn't make a bra work. The lace was too layered in the midsection, and it just wasn't right. I felt like someone took old curtains and sewed them together. Just not right.

Fun and flirty!
I rented this for a fun beach-y wedding. I loved the colors! So bright and fun. I did not love the boning - I wish that it cut all the way down instead of above the waist, because it was kind of awkward when sitting - both uncomfortable and made the dress billow when I sat, which was unflattering! The boning is the reason i sized up - made it a little more comfortable, though the two fit better overall, I knew I had a long car-ride before the wedding so I went for comfort over fit!

LOVE the color!
Loved almost everything about this dress! Both the 2 and the 4 fit, but I felt like the 2 was a little better for my figure - the 4 was WAY too long for my height and felt a little loose in places. I wound up safety pinning the top in the back where it buttons to make it a tighter fit to keep the back part tight enough, since I couldn't wear a bra. Definitely form-fitting, too - make sure you're comfortable with this!

Pretty, but not for me
This dress was beautiful - I liked the color and the cut, I just felt like it wasn't quite what I was looking for once I tried it on. It could have been the size - the 2 was damaged - but the 4 made me feel boxy. I didn't end up wearing it

Felt like a pregnant cupcake
I loved the idea of this dress (it was selected for me when the dress I had selected was returned damaged), but when I tried to put it on, it was just all wrong. The skirt felt way too big to me, and being so short and with a larger bust, I felt like it was just accentuating my curves in all the wrong ways. I really wanted to love this dress, but it was just not right for me.

I loved this backup dress that was selected for me!
This dress was beautiful. Loved the color and how flattering it was AND that I was able to wear a regular bra. This dress was chosen for me when the one I had selected was damaged in the size I requested - The only con I had with it was the back zipper - it created odd bumps down the back and didn't lie flat, but, because I didn't have another option, after asking all of the girls I was traveling with (this was a destination wedding) it did not take away from the dress and it wasn't too noticeable unless I pointed it out. Overall, I loved it and would definitely rent it again for a similar affair.

The open back was a standout.
Although I have a larger chest, I was able to go bra-less and danced all night long. I paired the dress with nude pumps and let the dress speak for itself/ Got so many compliments throughout the night. The material is form-fitting, though, so be sure you're comfortable with showing off your curves!

Felt stunning at this Long Island black tie optional wedding!
Light fabric made this summer-wedding friendly; but it was super low-cut which took me some getting used to. The dress did wrinkle after sitting for awhile but it wasn't as bad as I expected from other comments. I loved this dress - the pattern was gorgeous!
