Eye catching and comfortable!
I wore this to a fundraising gala in mid-September. In a sea of black and other dark colors, I definitely stood out and got lots of compliments. I love the one sleeve fit and the dress in general was very comfortable and fit as expected. I didn’t need to wear a bra. The fabric is light and there is a liner so no worries about it being see through. If you wear Spanx, just be sure they are not too long because they might peek out at the slit in the dress when you sit down.

Not for the modest!
I rented this for a Christmas party. It was lovely but SO tight and short!! Be prepared to show off ALL your stuff. Overall I liked it but it is way short; would have been better with a few more inches.

Beautiful dress, but awkward fit!
I rented this dress to wear to the Grammys. I read the other reviews which said it ran small, so I ordered my size and a size up. Neither fit! The size up was too tight, so I had them send me the NEXT size up (which they luckily had!). This fit fine, although a little loose (I ended up wearing the 6R, 5 would have been better if available, but it's not an option). It fit fine in the waist and length with 4 inch heels, but the shoulder straps were SO long!! I had to temporarily stitch them so they fit. I did not have to wear a bra with this, but if you are smaller chested, you may not fill this out! In all, it's a beautiful dress with nice, thick fabric, but the sizing is SO wrong!

pleasantly surprised...you will not regret this rental!!
I was hesitant to rent this dress because it is very different from my usual style, I don't normally go with form fitting. But I read the reviews, and people of all shapes and sizes seemed to love it so I went with it and I'm so glad I did! It may be my favorite rental to date! It just fits so well and really makes you look amazing! I didn't need to wear a bra with it and had no issues with it staying up or anything. Easy to move in unless you need to raise your arms up high. My husband couldn't close his mouth all night, it is a stunner! I actually want to buy this dress, it's so great! If you have any hesitations, but them aside and get this dress, you won't regret it!

So many compliments!
This was a last minute backup dress when my original didn't fit. It fit like a glove, whereas other size 2 dresses don't fit well around my bust. It was a little bit long, even with 4 inch heels, but I was able to remedy that myself. I received SO many compliments at the gala. I was surprised. The dress is lovely but I wasn't expecting so many comments. Strangers kept coming to me and saying they noticed me/the dress across the room! I felt so elegant, and it has pockets!! Would rent again.

Lovely fabric!
The dress is pretty but the top is super tight and if you have ANY arm fat it will bulge out! The rest of the dress fit nice and it was lovely, but I ended up wearing a shawl to cover my armpit muffin top! Would NOT rent again!

Beautiful pattern, so comfy!
Of course, beautiful colors, it's Lilly Pulitzer! I wore the XS which is my usual size. The soft fabric allowed for my 32C to fit nicely (with other dresses I usually have to size up). Only real down side is that there was no petite option. The dress is REALLY long and this is one you wear more with sandals than heels, so I had to put in temporary stitches, which worked fine because I wore this for our family photos. I would rent this again if there was a petite option, otherwise, too much trouble!

Order a size up!
I read the reviews that said it ran small so ordered a 2 and 4. I usually wear a 0, occasionally a 2. This time I had to wear the 4 and it was still tight! The pattern is lovely and it has pockets, which are the pros. I would not rent this one again though.

Simple, lovely dress
This designer does well with her dresses. Nothing super spectacular about it but it is beautiful. The lace bodice is well made and comfortable, the skirt is full with a bit of gold sparkle and pockets! Might be best for the holidays but I wore it to a fundraiser dinner in October and it worked well. No complaints!

Beautiful necklace!
Beautiful necklace, felt solid and substantial. A rhinestone was already out though when I received it so I had to glue it back in! And when I inspected the rest of the necklace to see if any others were missing you could tell a few had probably been glued in. Not a big deal from afar and overall a really nice piece.

You will turn heads!
The dress itself was pretty cool. Not something I would normally wear because the cut is so different. I normally wear a size 0 but the zipper was broken on that one so I ended up wearing the size 2, which I think was a better fit with this dress for some reason. Not sure I'm thrilled with the designer. The tulle was not wrinkled but the way the dress was sewn, the seam of the tulle was in the front which I thought was a fail (it was in the back in the 0 though). It wasn't super noticeable, but annoying. Otherwise, it was comfortable and I got a lot of comments about my dress that night! The dress could benefit from some pockets. Overall, a fun rental! But this designer could do better quality control!

Didn't wear it
I was really disappointed with this jumper, and it looked so bad that I ended up not wearing it and wearing something of my own. The color was nice, the fabric was ok, but the fit was just awful. I'm 5'2" and weigh about 115. The top looked totally frumpy and shapeless. I don't know what kind of bra would have looked right but every one I had showed at the cleavage. I have always had thicker legs but not THAT thick, however, the legs of the jumper were SO tight on my calves. So disappointing. Wish I could get a refund on this one! My first RTR fail!

Beautiful, vibrant colors!
The 0 fit perfectly. I wore it for an informal fund-raising dinner. The fabric was lovely and the colors just stunning. Couple downsides to the dress were the need for a strapless bra, no pockets and the mid section of the dress is see-through (which was not an issue per se, but could be if your spanx are high waisted!). Overall, a nice dress for a casual to semi-fancy event.

Wore this for a YuleBall (Xmas) Party with friends and colleagues.

A total standout in a crowd of black!
The fit was perfect. Because of the cut, I could wear a regular bra. The fabric is thick and feels expensive. The color is beautiful, both the purple and red stand out. I'm 5' 2" and I felt the length was perfect. The pockets were great but not as big as I've had with other dresses, I felt like my iPhone would fall out at times (it didn't). Received MANY compliments and my husband said the next day at work EVERYONE was commenting on my dress! Overall, it was a hit!

So many compliments...the color! Pockets!
I was a few months postpartum when I wore this so I wore the 2 instead of my usual 0, mostly because my boobs were huge and my hips hadn't gone back to normal yet! It was very comfortable, the skirt is full and made of a rather stiff ribbed fabric, so it hid my belly well. Received many compliments on the color! And the pockets were great for my cell phone, chapstick etc.

Beautiful color! So comfortable, and pockets!
Fit perfectly, the color is just so beautiful. The lace is very soft, I was expecting it to be more stiff. The skirt is not too poofy and has generous pockets. I love this dress! Again, the color is stunning!!
