Comfortable and Chic
I was very surprised by how flattering and forgiving this dress was. My only issue was that is was pretty short so I wore short bike shorts underneath.

Feminine and pretty
Top is stretchy and there is a side zip, and Pockets. Straps are also stretchy. I could feel the seam in the hips a little so I could not size down or hips would be too tight but fits perfect for me.

Fluffy Sleeves
The sleeves on this dress are so fluffy and fabulous!! I love how feminine and southern this dress is. So comfortable and waist and sleeves are stretchy. Requires some ironing to be presentable.

Cute
I was conflicted about this dress. I love it and could have worn it but, it didn't sit right on me. The gathered material at the waist made my pooch more noticeable and it was baggy under my arm. Maybe if I sized down it would have layed better on my body.

Nice fabric
I enjoyed wearing this to the Museum and dinner. The fabric is a nice weight and has a little stretch, the dress is lined and the straps are adjustable. It was a little big but worked great.

Love
Even though this dress is a little big on me I LOVE it!! It has draw strings at the waist which work great. Light, thin and airy fabric perfect Texas heat but the fun pattern keeps it from being see through. I wore with white bike shorts because a breeze could reveal your privates. I wish I could keep this one! I could size down.

Cute with a hint of sexy
I couldn't wear a bra with this because of the cutout. It really shows underboob. My husband loved it but it was a little to sexy for me to wear because of my large chest.

I was very happy with the color and fabric of this dress. I wore it to a reception but it would also be great for a shower or night out. It was very comfortable but I could have sized down for a snug fit. I didn't have to wear a bra.

Great Spring fabric!
Although this was super tight for my chest I wore it anyway because it is just so pretty! The fabric has a nice light, but stiff weight with a cool seersucker type feel. It paired perfectly with the Kate Spade purse I borrowed. I would wear this for a shower, brunch, picnic...so many great Spring events!

I loved how fun this print was! The fabric is a nice stiff cotton so you get a little of that rustling sound when you swish! It is a oversized but structured style which is fab when you want to be comfy but stylish. I will certainly rent again?

I love this fabric and the back tie allowed for me to have the top fit perfectly. I did wear a purple tank top underneath as the open back showed my back fat. Lol. The skirt is a bit billowy but I loved that. It certainly stands out in a crowd!!

It is a pretty pattern and very light silk material. I usually wear a 12 but I have a large chest so this 14 fit perfectly. This dress would be so much better in warm weather with and biker shorts underneath.

This is such an effortless and easy dress! The detail of the red embroidery is very pretty! I am large chested and this ran a little large but easy to wear without a bar or wear a strapless one. The straps kept falling but i still loved it! I purchased this one and will have the straps taken in.

Hides many flaws
In a more fitted Lilly dress I wear a 12 but in this shapeless dress I wear a 10. Lots of room to hide baby bumps or fat days. Not figure flattering but it is a classic and fun Lilly print with Palm Trees and Mermaids. I still love it but not a keeper.

Classy but Fun
Love this Lilly dress. Has some stretch to it so I wore the 10 which worked with my large chest. The fabric would be a little heavy to wear on a hot day so I would wear this for indoor event or cooler weather. Can easily be dressed up with jewelry and heels.

Lovely Lilly
I loved this jumpsuit. I received several compliments as was told I looked cool (temp) and tropical! You could dress it up with jewelry and heels. It does run large but I am a 36 E so it fit me in the chest and I could not size down. The waist has a lot of give and tended to fall so I had to wear a belt to keep it up. If I had a smaller chest I probabky could have worn a medium and I wear 12 in Lilly dresses. I am 5'6" and had to wear 3" heels to accomodate the length. It was a baggy fit but that made it super comfy. I am so tempted to purchase this one!

Super cute. It is very revealing with low back and peek-a-boo cut outs. Super sexy if you wear a nubra type thing. I have lost a little weight so I would have worn a medium and it could fit fine. I was surprised by how many compliments I received even when wearing a tank underneath. I am going to keep this for a few weeks and take on vacay! Love!

Amazing Fashion statement
I LOVED this top! I wore it to work and dinner and received endless compliments. It is so chic and I wish I could keep it. I am large chested so I tried the 14. I usually wear a 10-12 and the 14 fit perfectly. It does not have any give, so size up if you are large chested. I think I might keep this all month!

Beautiful details
I loved this dress. The color online dosn't do it justice. It is more maroon than red. The lace detail is so feminine and pretty. It has a great modern Victorian vibe or maybe even gothic feel. I am large chested and the size 12 fit comfortably and hid tummy lumps. I will definitely rent again for the Holiday season.

Very Happy Print
I rented with my unlimited for vacation. I loved the bright and happy fabric! While we were shopping in Grand Cayman this dress was in the window of the Lilly Pulitzer store. My friends got a big kick out of that. I rented the XL because I thought I needed it for my large chest but it ran bigger than expected. It floated on my size 12, 36 ddd figure. I will definitely rent again but smaller. I did not need a bra as the fabric camouflaged well. It did run a little long so I couldn't wear sandals and had to wear wedges and I am 5'6".

Cute and Comfy
This is another unlimited dress that has grown on me over the day. I did not like it with the belt so I wore it without it. The material is thin but it is lined with cotton so it is light and airy, perfect for warm weather. I would say because this is a thin, almost gauze like fabric, it is more appropriate fore a casual event like brunch or vacation. I am very large chested and there was room to spare with the large. I probably could have worn the medium. I usually wear a 12. Size down especially if you are not large chested.

Vibrant Color and Super Comfy
I wasn't sure about this dress at first but it has grown on me. It is not a slimming design, however, the color is very pretty, the shoulder details are super cute, it hides tummy issues, it is so comfy and it has pockets! I would say it runs large. Definitely size down 1 size. My chest is 36 DDD and I had lots of room so big chested girls this dress will surely work for you. I wore a racer back bra which is perfect in the front but did show in the back. It was okay because my long hair hid it. The fabric has a nice weight to it and it is lined with a built in slip. I would say you can dress this up or down. It would look great with sandals for brunch or heels for a reception or party.

Soft and comfortable!
Loved this dress so much but it did not look great on me. It is lots of fun and a little avant garde. I received several comments about how pretty the fabric was. I am large chested (36 DDD) so it didn't fall correctly however as a size 12 with a average chest I bet it would be awesome. The fabric does have give and the ruffles in the front that will hide belly issues. I would say it runs large for an average chest. Super soft material and very comfortable to wear. I will rent again when I get a breast reduction!

LOVE!
This is so fashionable, comfortable and cute. I am a size 12 normally, 36 DDD and I wore a 10. It fit perfectly across my boobs so size down. It is thick material, think table cloth material, with a silver thread to it and it is nicely lined. I wore boyshort undies because it is kind of short. The thickness of the fabric gave the sleeves a great stiffness. You can dress it up or down. I will definitely rent again!

This dress was comfy and lite weight but was too tight in the chest for me. 36 ddd. I wore it unbuttoned at the top with a purple sports bra. Nice for brunch but too casual for a baby shower or bridal shower.
