Perfect
Fit was TTS. Wore to TSwift concert. Very short- and I’m already short. Taller girlies beware. The chest felt secure. Sequins and fabrication didn’t feel cheap but well done. Overall a great rental.

Woooooo. Beautiful but small.
I’m typically a size small in dresses, 25 in denim. I had to size up to a medium in this style. Like, could almost not fit it over my hips when stepping into it. And I’m pretty straight, not an hourglass at all. Once up it was fine, though. Short girlies may have extra fabric up top but tape worked great. Sleeves were my favorite part. The burnout fabric is unique.

Sexy details
Loved this rental. The length balanced out the sheer stripes on the skirt. I felt really glam and put together. The detailing of the sheer seams give it a little something extra. Slim fit for sure, but true to size. Heels are a must for short gals.

A dress with lobsters all over it? Yes, please!
Loved this dress. Print is unexpected and it's a really good fit. The dress actually stayed off-the-shoulder so that was great. I usually hate cold shoulder styles. The length is shorter but still appropriate. It has pockets!! Wore it for a neighborhood cookout and it was a hit. Fits TTS. No stretch except for the neckline.

Cute but SHORT.
I really liked this dress. However, it was super short. I generally like short dresses. I'm short (5'2") and a mini-length is almost always the most flattering length on me. But this was a tunic, not a dress. I had to grab the bottom hem every time I sat down so I could make sure I was actually sitting on the dress and not bare-assed on the chair. I wore it for a casual work function for my husbands job and was a bit uncomfortable. You could try and size up for length, but I don't think it will help much. Fabric is great- thicker and stretchy. So at least it wasn't short and sheer. Just short.

This jumpsuit is EVERYTHING
My favorite rental so far. So glam and chic. Very well made, the fabric is very thick and substantial. Would not recommend for an outside affair in hot weather- you may sweat to death. But we were in Cali on the coast and it was perfect for a 60 degree evening. It runs small- one full size small. Trust me. Thank goodness I read the other reviews. I'm a true XS/zero and ended up ordering a 2 and a 4 for backup. The size 2 was perfect. Would not have wanted to try to zip anything smaller. It needs to be fitted to be flattering- the waist is the best part. Draws you in before the wide leg. The button details make it. I'm short and wore with 4 inch heels and it was perfect. You don't need high heels because it runs long per se, you need high heels to counteract the wide leg. The zipper was a bit tricky but that's to be expected with the thick fabric. I want to buy this.

Hem is the best part
I fell in love with this dress on RTR. Blush pink and a halter neck? Made for me. However, I didn't love it as much in person. The neckline and hem are gorgeous. But it was a lot of extra fabric around the middle. The model in the pic is tall so it lays better. I had to pull the elastic up so it would sit on my actual waist and it looked different. I loved the shorter length. I feel like the skirt was short and the body was long. I didn't hate it, but it could have been better. Bonus- it doesn't wrinkle AT ALL. I travelled with this twisted up in my carry on and it was perfect as soon as I pulled it out of the bag.

Lilly shifts are easy
Classic Lilly shift dress. Wore this to my nephews baptism. Loved the fit. The fabric is VERY substantial, thick even. I would consider this on the short side for an average height, but I'm short and this was perfect and flattering. Color is gorgeous, detailing down the front is gorgeous. Mine was definitely showing signs of wear up close. If you're in between sizes, I would go up. This is supposed to be fitted to give the most flattering look but I could see how some would think it ran small.

Comfy casual
I totally forgot to get a pic of this before returning. LOVED it. This is definitely a different style than I usually go for. I'm petite and generally go for fitted styles- the wide leg crop was a risk for sure. But I loved it. I wore it with white Birkenstocks and it was super casual. I think this would be a hard style to dress up- even with heels. Loose and flowy. The fabric doesn't give much (if at all), but it runs TTS.

Gorgeous back
I loved this romper. The back is beautiful. The ruffled straps were a little hard to adjust as the ruffle kept flipping the wrong way. Could have been fixed with an iron but I was on vacation and it wasn't that serious. The straps are adjustable with the cross design in the back. Very gauzy and thinner so nude underwear is a must. Definitely want to rent for vacation again in the future.

Small isn't even the word
I wanted to love this. It was my favorite rental for vacation- on paper, at least. But it ran so small I couldn't zip it up. I'm a true zero and it wasn't possible to wear the XS in this. Also, the ruffle on the front was so bent up it looked mangled. Really, it looked so badly cared for that it seemed like someone washed and dried it rather than having it dry cleaned. Perhaps that was why it ran so freaking small. Yikes.

LOVE LOVE LOVE
Loved this rental. Wanted to keep it. This can be worn for so many occasions. It is pretty casual as it's more of a twill. Halter neckline was beautiful and the keyhole back is an unexpected detail when you turn around. It is short. I can't imagine what a taller person would do in this dress. I told my husband that if I dropped something, he was on deck to pick it up. I think the shorter look suits the dress, just be mindful if you'll be sitting down a lot as you'll be adjusting for more coverage. I have a smaller chest and the XS fit like a glove. There is a bit of room through the midsection because it's a sheath. It's not supposed to be tight. I wouldn't size down in this dress.

Super versatile dress
I was hesitant about this style as I generally like something that gives me more of a shape. But I really ended loving this dress. The halter neckline is beautiful and the pleats make it move really well. I ended up wearing it without a belt and with a leather jacket layered over. A belt is a must if you need a waistline. Length was definitely longer on me as I'm shorter.

Different silhouette
I really wanted to LOVE this dress. But I could't quite get there. The fit is different. There are 2 adjustable drawstrings- one directly under bust, the other at the waist. They are tough to tighten because there is no elastic and the fabric feels very fragile. I know it's fragile because the first dress I was sent was ripped down past the second drawstring. Someone clearly didn't know how to tighten it and they pulled too hard and ripped the dress. It shouldn't have passed RTR quality control but they did overnight me the same style so it all worked out. I wore petal pasties as a bra would have shown- even one with a deep v. I don't think this would be for curvy girls or girls with a larger chest. It's a midi length so heels are best if you're short. I feel like it looked better in real life than in photographs.

One of my favorite rentals
I felt so glam in this dress. I was a little apprehensive about wearing such a pale color to a wedding but it was fine. I would imagine the slit would be hard for a tall girl to manage- I definitely took care when sitting down and I'm not tall. Love the length- it takes the sexy down a notch. I would say it runs large. I was tugging the dress up a good bit through the evening. If you're even close to a double zero, I wouldn't suggest this dress. It does have a bit of stretch and the fabric was super comfortable. Dress was very well made. Would absolutely rent this again.

Cute but forgettable
I wore this to my SIL's baby shower. I was trying to be not be extra so this was my pick. It was super chic and cute. I would consider it a bit conservative but it does run short. It does flap open a bit as it's a true wrap so you have to be careful sitting down. I would imagine busty girls may need to size up but that's definitely not a problem for me. It doesn't have any stretch.

Love the detailing
Loved this rental. Rented for a 3 year olds birthday party. It was chilly so I layered with a jacket day of. The fit is true to size. The elastic is very fitted at the waist but I wouldn't say it ran small. It is super hard to button your self so you will need buddy. I was able to get out of it by myself but not button to get it ON my myself. Weird. It wrinkles a bit but that was expected with the gauzy fabrication. You can wear a regular bra but it will show a little through the back. I wore a nude color and it was barely noticeable.

Birthday BBQ. Cute- but not great.
I was pleasantly surprised to receive with tags attached. Glad I got a S as my backup because I definitely needed to size up. I am a petite athletic build and am always an XS but couldn't comfortably zip the XS up. The length is ok for short girls. I wanted to keep it super casual so I wore it with sneakers but wedges would have been way cuter. I needed the height. There is a teeny bit of stretch, but not enough to size down. I didn't wear a bra with it- but I would imagine you would need sticky boobs as the back is too low to wear with a regular strapless bra.

SO SHORT
This dress is VERY short. I'm 5'2 and can't imagine someone taller wearing this. It was uncomfortable to sit down in. The fit is great and the dress does have a good bit of stretch. I prefer a halter neckline and this was perfect. I didn't have to wear a bra with it. It was my a little out of my comfort zone as I was trying to look sparkly for NYE. Meh. Not my favorite rental. It's a basic sequin dress. Not stunning. No unexpected detailing. Would rent a similar style for Vegas but that's the only place I can see this dress being appropriate.

Perfect cut-out.
Rented this for my birthday dinner. I was looking for something with a cut-out that was on the conservative side. I loved this dress. It was super comfy. However- it runs very small and has no stretch. I am a true size XS/0 and couldn't get the XS zipped up all the way. The size S that I ended up wearing was too big in the back- I could fist the material it was so much. But it photographed well. The bodice is pretty thick and I didn't have to wear a bra. The lace was beautiful and the hem is a beautiful unexpected look. Modern and super chic.

OBSESSED
This dress was perfecting. I wanted a glam look for family photos and this was it. I loved the low neckline But heads up- the dress was a little shifty so beware if you are busty. You may need fashion tape. It was definitely short but I loved the length- I'm 5'2. The sleeves don't stretch at all so beware if this may be an issue. There is no give. The color was a teensy bit darker in real life but still beautiful. The dress was showing a bit of wear. It's definitely been rented more than a few times. But it photographed perfectly. Couldn't have picked a better dress.

Short but chic
I rented this for our family photos. I was looking for a Fall look that didn't involve chambray or a damn cardigan and this navy dress fit the bill perfectly. I loved the length. I'm 5'2 so knee length can sometimes be unflattering on me; I prefer mid-thigh. If you are tall, this may not be appropriate for work. You could absolutely dress this look up with nude heels and gold jewelry. The dress had a bit of stretch to it and was super comfortable. Love the 3/4 sleeves- great way to have a sleeve without having to worry if they will be too short/long. Would definitely rent this again.

So chic!!
So happy I went with this style. The halter neckline is so pretty. The dress is large around the middle by design. It's meant to be flowy. I wouldn't say it runs large because the neckline fit like a glove. The fabric around the neck is scratchy. I have super sensitive skin so the straps actually left marks. It is a true midi length so heels are a must if you're short. This dress could be perfect for any occasion.

Fit is perfect!!
Didn't think I would love it as much as I did. I wouldn't buy a Lilly dress in real life but I thought it would be appropriate for my husband's conference at the beach. This was for his colleague's retirement party. I don't think it would work on someone curvy- fit is super straight. The fringe detail on the zipper is everything and one of the reasons why I rented. But I was super disappointed that the size 0 didn't have it. Luckily the size 2 did so I just took it off and attached it to the 0. The colors are perfect. And not too much. Will def rent this style again.

It was a hit!!
I think it ran small but there's no way I could have filled out a larger size in the bust. Zipper was broken when received so I had to have the hotel alterations department replace the zipper. That was stressful. But all in all I LOVED it. You will absolutely need a bathroom buddy to get in and out of. Didn't have to wear a bra with it- there wasn't enough room anyway. Such a great alternative to a dress. And you can make it super dressy.

I wore this for a baby shower. LOVE the fit. Great shift style. I wish I took a picture in it. I put layered my J. Crew cargo jacket over it and wore it with my studded Frye boots (It's was cold and rainy). Very true to size. I would have liked it to be a teeny bit shorter but it was still great.

Cute casual dress
Fits pretty true to size. I'm a true 0 or XS. I couldn't wear my padded bra with the dress, though. I'm usually a small B-cup but much bigger with my push-up bra. It made the buttons pull too much and the backup size small was way too big. Loved the length- perfect for short girls.

I loved this dress. Such a great way to do cutouts- more conservative. The length was perfect. I'm short (5'2") so dresses usually hit my knees. Love that it was shorter. I could have worn the 4 but it wasn't comfortable sitting down. The 6 was perfect and left room to sit and eat and drink. Will prob rent again.

The back is a showstopper!
Loved this dress. Definitely order a size down. I tried the size 2 first and was disheartened bc the darts fit so weird in the chest. Tried the 0 and it was so much better. The length is a long midi- I probably should have ordered a petite. Heels are a must to keep it flattering on short girls. I wore this for New Year's dinner- can't do sequins on my skin so I loved the lace details. The straps can dig into the top of your shoulders- especially because the ties are all connected and I wanted it snug, but it wasn't too bad.

Loved this dress. I wasn't sure it was my style but I was really wanting to try something new. Love the boho style without it being a maxi. True to size fit. I have muscular arms and shoulders so I was worried about the fit but it was perfect. Side note- bell sleeves are not the best option for a party with finger foods. I was avoiding dipping my sleeves in food all night. But I looked awesome. :)
