Much larger than I envisioned
I should've paid closer attention to the measurements because these were much larger than I preferred. Very sparkly and if you're comfy with the dimensions, they'll look lovely with jeans and a tshirt or a more dressy outfit.

Did not fit like the green version of the same dress
The dress has really nice lines and is super flattering. Just beware, the sizing was true from one color to the other (at least for me).

Tight in the bust, more see through than expected
After seeing the lovely pics of other RTR-ers (?) in this dress, I was surprised to find it tight in the bust. Also, it was far more see through than I expected. The fabric is pretty, and conceptually, I can envision this dress looking awesome on others. Did not work for this apple shaped lady!

Not for the big busted
The print is lovely, and the fabric (chiffon ?) feels very light and airy. However, if you are busty and/or apple shaped, this dress hits in the wrong spot, and looks like maternity wear. Not flattering. Probably totally gorgeous on ladies with smaller chests or more of a straight figure.

Arms were tight
After reading reviews suggesting this dress ran large, I was surprised to find that the arms were super tight, and I wasn't able to zip the back. The dress itself is a lovely lace, and I could see it being very flattering if correctly fitted. As for me, I wasn't able to wear it.

Runs large, but is absolutely adorable
I didn't end up wearing this dress because it was much larger than I expected. The dress looked very cute until you got to the upper area, which sagged with extra fabric. Not flattering. I think if the dress fitted correctly, it would have concealed my underarm area. As it was, the dress sagged in that area and highlighted rather than concealed. The fabric is a thick eyelet, and definitely masks bumps and other problem areas. It has pockets, which was an awesome plus I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a casual, comfortable dress for summer parties or outings. Just bear the sizing in mind - it definitely runs large.

Pretty print, odd straps and fit
This tank has a lot of potential. The print is very pretty, and the pink is a delicate shade that can easily be worn with a number of different bottoms in many color options. Mine arrived with the shoulder ties in weird places, and attempting to retie them resulted in odd wrinkles that wouldn't come out. I didn't end up wearing it because of the wrinkles, and it also fit a little more closely on me than it seemed to designed to fit. If you are a slimmer build, with a smaller chest, this tank would be a fun option for a night out.

The dress equivalent of sweatpants
This dress is so easy to wear. I wore it twice, once for brunch and once for a dinner out. Different shoes, necklace and purse, and the dress looked casual for one event, and appropriate for a nicer restaurant. The dress runs large, but it was really pleasant actually, to have the dress hang loose. The ruffles along the side give a little cover for the upper arms, which helped me feel more confident wearing strapless.

Very comfortable and flattering
I wore this dress to work, and it was absolutely darling. Very comfortable, lots of stretch. The only awkward point was that there was more cleavage than I expected, making it somewhat awkward at moments when the dress slipped into its natural position, and I happened to be in a meeting. This dress would easily transition from desk to dinner, and the sleeves and shape make it flattering and on trend.

Flattering fit, but size way up!
As with all dresses by Lilly, size up. I typically wear a 10-12, and in this dress, I was snuggly in the 16. But who cares what the label says! I felt really great in the dress, which has a nice, nipped in waist that added a curve to my apple shape. The back has a really cute ruffled key hole. All in all, a fun and easy to wear Lilly. Just remember to size up!

Very pretty neutral necklace
I wore this twice, once for work and once for Easter. I got compliments both times. It jazzes up a boring outfit really nicely, and is a great neutral to wear easily with almost anything.

Bracelet was uncomfortable
I don't have particularly large wrists, but felt this bracelet ran small, and would definitely be difficult to put on by myself. Also, the bracelet kept flipping, so the gold underside showed throughout the day. Overall, the bracelet is lovely and a great neutral. Just didn't work very well for my needs.

Gorgeous color, flattering fit, and lovely cut = perfect casual party dress!
I wore this for a backyard party with Jack Rogers and a statement necklace. It was comfortable because of the slightly A-line cut, and very flattering. The color is just gorgeous - reminded me of Caribbean island water. The dress was a perfect length, hitting about a hand's length from my knee. I received tons of compliments on the dress, and was sad to return it. I think this dress could definitely be dressed up if accessorized as pictured, but it really worked great in a less formal setting as well.

Very unique print, and has the potential to be flattering, but...
I had a difficult time getting this dress on. Others have described the scuba suit-like fabric, which is thick and almost rubbery. Maybe it was the fabric that made it so darn hard to slide down. Once on, I found that this dress accentuated all of the wrong curves, and was not flattering on me at all. WAY too tight.
