Brighter colors than pictured but super cute
It's more vibrant in person, but it's still a cute dress. The arm holes are large, so it's not bra-friendly.

Scratchy fabric but cute idea
Loved the design of it, but the fabric was scratchy, and I didn't end up wearing it.

Nice shape to the dress - has pockets
This dress was well-made and fit well. I'm smaller on top, and it was a bit loose with looser straps. Lots of buttons spaced closely together, so the threat of gap was minimal.

Simple and easy to wear
Basic dress, not overly clingy. The fabric is a ribbed knit with some weight to it. It ran a bit big but still within reason. Bigger busts might find it more challenging.

Slinky knit with good swing
It looks like tweed but it's a slinky knit. The top pulls down a bit due to the weight of the skirt. I belted it to keep the top up.

Cute detailing
Fit a bit tight in the bust (34B) but it was still wearable. Pretty detailing with the contrast stitching and is easy to wear. I rolled up the sleeves to make it more sporty looking. More with flat black sandals.

The waist is too big and has very little stretch
CUTE skirt with so much potential. The waistband was too big and the elastic did not have much give. This is a substantial fabric with some sheen and it has pockets. I wore it with a wrap belt to hold it up.

I felt like a rock star!
So cute, flattering, cool, it was... all the things! I wore it with a bell-sleeve sweater, drapey trousers, and high heels. Got so many compliments. If you are thicker in the middle or have larger breasts, you may want to upsize. The 8 was quite snug around the chest and I'm a 34B.

Cute idea but a strange fit. I didn't wear it because the front hem was short and I'm not a teenager. Strange sleeves too.

Better than I thought!
The open back was a bit concerning but it worked out great. Loads of compliments. I wore slip shorts underneath for smoothing but no need for compression. Had to tape between buttons at the chest to avoid pull/gap. Can tie in the front or the back. Dress stretched a bit during the day but not excessively.

Loose, flowing, summery colors dress. It's voluminous so petite ladies might find themselves drowning. I'm 5'7" and it was fine with flats. Just wish it had pockets!

This is a very simple cotton dress with a smocked bodice. Very casual and seemed too little girl-ish for an adult to wear.

Cute but cumbersome
Cute dress, I downsized and it fits well with a flattering shape but the wrap style was unnecessarily cumbersome. The back is open right above the waistline which helped with a range of motion and comfort but was a surprise to me.

Cotton dress with an interesting pattern
This is a very simple cotton dress with buttons at the neck. The one sent to me had the pattern off-center which bugged me a little. It was comfortable to wear and the pattern was the most interesting part of the dress.

Loved the fit on my typical pear-shaped bottom half. Nice stretch and good pockets. They were long so even at 5'7", I had to wear a high heels. My friends said, "only you could pull off those pants." I'm taking that as a compliment.

Laura Ingalls and not in a good way.
The vibes are Little house on the prairie meets FLDS church. It's a true wrap dress with two buttons at the waist with a ribbon tie belt, and a hook at the v neck. It's VERY long and I'm taller than average. A heeled boot would have made it work but it was so frumpy that I just put it back in the bag. Maybe if you styled it with a wide belt, hat, and a denim jacket it could be less Laura Ingalls and more boho chic but that was too much effort.

cute print that's about it
This is just not a good dress. The shoulders are narrow the elastic waist is just weird and oddly placed, other than the print there is nothing redeeming about this dress. Tried it on and put it right back into the bag.

Vegas, baby! You are the glitter ball.
If you need a dress to wear in Las Vegas for your daughter's 21st birthday, this is it. By far the most impractical and ridiculous item of clothing ever created but also so fun and perfect for the occasion. The dress is large and the sleeves are crazy long so I pushed them up. As a 50 something woman, I wore a nude satin slip under the dress for coverage and comfort. No one wants to see my naughty bits but for those braver, you could fashion tape the neckline for a sexier look. The dress is lined with a soft fabric so the only scratchy bits are the neck and cuffs. IT HAS POCKETS too! (LOVE bag is RTR too)

Gorgeous rich color
It's a pretty color and the fit is flattering for a pear body shape (or hourglass). I thought the top was a little big (34b/36b) and the waist had a snug fit. The a-line skirt is flattering and it was a good length for me at 5'7".

It's a nice, simple cotton dress in a cheerful print. It fit well and the flutter sleeve was a nice touch. It's quite casual due to the fabric but worked for my needs.

Love the message
Love the "Love" in legos. It's hard for me to get a true sense of the size of the bags on this site but this one met expectations. It's big enough for your phone, keys, lipgloss, and a small wallet. The shoulder strap might be too short to wear cross-body unless you are petite. I wore it cross-body but I would have preferred a little more length. The magnetic close works great.

Fit really well and super flattering!
I think Lilly Pul runs a little small, similar in fit to Tory Burch but with that said this dress fits me like a dream. I'm a typical pear, 34 b+/c with broad shoulders and the bodice on this was quite fitted. Larger busted might want to size up. The skirt is flowy but not overly voluminous, the waist was slim but not tight and girl... it has pockets!!

Could be good... but
I'll need to upsize next time to be able to wear it. The knitted pattern on top does not have much give and was too tight to wear comfortably. Narrow shoulders may not have the same issue. The rest of the dress had a lot of give, so it really was just the very top.

Basic black with a little sass
It's a nice basic black dress with a little pop of bright fabric on one side. I belted it with a black and gold "gucci" style belt to define the waist and paired it with black over the knee block heel boots. Perfect rental!

Soft and cozy
It's not a dress on a middle-aged woman, it's a shirt. I wore it over cropped black kick flare jeans and it was comfortable. The tie was a little off and it was missing the bottom button so it was indecent without pants on underneath. It's soft and cozy and if you are petite and/or young with killer legs it might work as a dress.

Cool sleeves!
I loved this dress for bitterly cold winter workwear. I layered a black turtleneck and leggings under for added warmth. The sleeves are pretty and the zippered slits at the hem are a cool touch. I dressed it up with a black and gold belt for day to evening.

A good basic for work
This one was a little underwhelming for me but I use RTR for jazzing up my work wardrobe with pieces I wouldn't buy. This dress was perfectly fine but nothing special. I didn't love the wrap but it's the only interesting thing about the dress.

Fine knit, pretty color
Because it was snowing I layered this over a turtle neck and leggings for extra warmth. It still fit fine and has a lot of give to the knit. I belted with a black leather belt and draped a pashmina around the neck to dress it up for an after-work event. It's a nice rich color and the knit is supple.

Cute and edgy tunic
It's VERY short so I layered underneath it because it is winter here. It's too short for me as a dress but I loved it with leggings or skinny jeans under. It showed some wear with pilling and the seam was twisted from laundering.

Prettier in person
It's a dark green floral and is really lovely in person. The pictures make it look muddy. It has a nice stretch and is flattering, form-fitting to the drop waist where it falls nicely. The topstitching gives it a more casual look. I layered under for warmth and wore with tall boots.

It's a cute sweater. It's nice thick wool sweater so I layered underneath it with a cotton t-shirt to avoid the itch.

Flattering, modern dress
Stretchy knit, body con fit and pretty color. The only drawback was the slit and hem length prevented me from taking my normal (apparently long) stride. I styled with booties and wore a shaping slip under to smooth my backside.

These are not flattering but they are so cool you just don't care that you don't have a bum in these. They are more fitted in the waist and a nice wide leg. I wore them with big chunky knit sweater with a front tuck and booties. Lots of compliments.
