Perfect fit, perfect length, perfect color, all around perfect!
Rented this for a fall wedding, and absolutely loved it. Nice quality thicker fabric was great for smoothing out flaws, and I felt like a million bucks in this dress. Plenty of room to move, we danced all night! I can wear a larger 4 or a smaller 6, and the dress was perfect, definitely not tight (so maybe it runs a tad large)?

Fun, flirty dress! Very fitted in the torso and length is a bit short for 5'9", but I loved it!
Very fitted in the torso, I have a small chest so this was not an issue. Not sure bigger busted ladies could pull this off. Tighter sleeves mean your arms may be a bit restricted for dancing, but I made it work. Great quality, thicker fabric, and I received plenty of complements!

Lovely dress, size up
I did not end up wearing this one, it's a lovely color and nice material but extremely fitted and I was too self-conscious of my lower body/ rear end.

Beautiful cut & material, just a hint of sheen
Gorgeous dress, but very slim fitting. I am typically a 4 or 6, depending on cut, and was unable to wear this in a 4 for my rehearsal dinner (just felt it a bit too clingy/ slinky). Probably could have sized up and been fine, but the 6 was unavailable.

I rented this as an option for my rehearsal dinner, unfortunately at 5'9" it was too short for me.
Beautiful subtle details, really loved the look. Just not quite right at that length for the bride-to-be!

Did not wear
Cute dress, well made, love the floral detail. Unfortunately it was too short for me, but this happens a fair bit as I'm 5'9".

Fabulous Milly, per usual!
This dress was super cute - perfect for the bridal luncheon! I have a fairly small waist & bust so it fit like a glove. I saw some reviews about wrinkling- so I changed into it just prior to my arrival & had no issues.

Very fun dress, albeit short!
I loved this dress, wore it to a rehearsal dinner- yes, it's short (although I'm on the tall side) but I have the legs to pull it off. Just don't bend over... Very comfortable & perfect for evenings in the summer. Does not run as large as most Lilly's.

Fun, edgy dress!
As the picture suggests, the bottom portion of this dress is intended to be fitted... that being said, if you have hips, keep this in mind! I didn't mind the fit, was fun & edgy up top (loved the asymmetical neckline), but needed a belt, as other reviewers suggested, to hold the middle, baggier portion in place (I have no chest & a small waist). I'm 5'9" and size 6/8 and the medium was almost too big, definitely needed the belt... should've tried the small, but liked it anyway.

Perfect bachelorette dress!
I ended up sizing down- I'm 5'9" and pretty lean, and have no chest so even the small was too drapey on my frame. Fixed it right up with a safety pin & had no issues- perfect dress for a night in D.C. I preferred to pair it with a wider black belt instead of the one that's included.
