Perfect Party Dress
I rented this dress for a postponed holiday party. The long sleeves were perfect for February in New England. I'm only 5'2 so I usually have trouble with low cut dresses being too low cut or sleeves being too long, but the fit of this was perfect. The sleeves were bracelet length on me and I had no issues with the front being too low cut. I'm larger in the thighs/hips compared to waist and bust but the bottom of the dress wasn't too clingy/tight and worked well for me.

Not flattering for my figure
As other reviews mentioned, the straps on this are very long- too long for my 5'2 self. The horizontal stripes on the skirt drew attention to my belly, which was not flattering. I did not wear this dress.

Simple red dress
I chose the size 6 based on other reviews, but wish I had gone with a 4 because I feel it did run large. I had to position it a certain way so my (strapless) bra wouldn't hang out for this photo, and then I was so uncomfortable that I wore a cardigan throughout the event. There's nothing special about this but if you're looking for a simple red dress, this will do the trick.

Comfy shift!
I added this to my rental for an event because I hadn't tried this style from Lilly Pulitzer before. I wore it to work and it was incredibly comfortable! I'm 5'2 and it hit just over my knee, so it's longer than most Lilly shifts. It also runs large and is roomy. I typically wear a 6 in Lilly shifts but the 4 in this was perfect.

It has pockets!
I received this dress as an upgrade from a Slate & Willow dress that I chose to wear to my family's Christmas Eve party. I was SO excited to have this dress chosen as the upgrade. It's absolutely gorgeous AND it has pockets! It does run a bit small- I usually wear a 0 or a 2 depending on the brand. This dress was quite fitted in the waist and a little more loose in the shoulders, so the 2 was more comfortable on my body type. I would definitely rent this again!

Way too short!
Cute color and pattern, but this dress was way too short to wear. I'm only 5'2 and it was so short on me that it looked silly. I tried the XS and it fit well other than the length.

Very flattering!
I wore this dress for Thanksgiving dinner at my boyfriend's family's house. It was so comfortable and I LOVE that it has pockets! I wish I could keep this dress!

Runs large in the top/back
I was unable to wear this dress because it runs large in the top back area. I loved the dress and that it had pockets. It would be really cute if it fit well. For reference, I'm 5'2, 120 pounds, 32C and carry my weight in my thighs. I'm not terribly petite on top and can usually wear a size 0 or 2. I'm not sure why this dress fit so weird.

Favorite dress!
I love this dress so much- it was my second time renting it! It fits so well and it keeps me warm while still showing some skin! The rental experience, on the other hand, could be better. The dress didn't appear to have been inspected before being sent. There was a stain (looked like makeup) on the back near the zipper and a hole/rip in the seam under the zipper. Luckily it has two layers and I was in a dark club so it wasn't too noticeable but when I put the dress on at home that was the first thing my boyfriend noticed. I'm not sure if I'll be using Rent the Runway going forward- paying $40 to rent a stained dress with a hole in it leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Cute night out dress!
I tried this and didn't like the way it fit me, so my friend wore it and it looked awesome on her! It bunched up in the waist on me, I think because I'm shorter and heavier. She is taller and more thin and it looked great!
