One of the only dresses that wasn’t too long without tailoring (needed heels but I wasn’t tripping at 5’3”-ish/27” inseam). The strap across fit well as did the chest. The ruching is very flattering and it was perfect for a formal, springy wedding. Would definitely consider purchasing - lots of compliments!!

Rented for vacation but purchased and I wore it all summer. Looks great with flip flops or wedges, and isn’t too short or long/baggy (my inseam is 27”). Button across chest is ever so slightly stretched after a wash, but it does stretch out slightly. Only downside is it wrinkles fairly easily, but it’s a casual piece and the wrinkles fall out pretty easily too.

This dress is also shorts and it is GREAT. Light to mid-weight, doesn’t wrinkle too much and can be dressed up or down. Rented for a tropical vacation, purchased it in a 10, and worn in an every day scenario, to dinner, to brunch and to a rehearsal dinner. RENT IT AND BUY IT.

Worn in London during a much colder than expected trip. Fit was just a bit short for my liking in the waist, hit too low to be cropped and too high for a normal fit, and I don’t have a particularly long torso. Very good quality though and cozy!

Holy moly this was so oversized. I’m not tall but this hit well below my knees and could have been mistaken for a horrible midlength sweater dress. Did not wear.

It’s such a pretty color and a little heavier weight (good thing!) than I thought it would be. I think in a smaller size I’d have liked it for summer errands, brunch, etc. The bust sat too far out and didn’t cinch enough close to the waist or even empire waist to make it flattering on me. Sadly didn’t wear, but very cute!

This is a great, lightweight romper! Worn on vacation so worked with a swimsuit underneath, but even a strapless bra might show on the sides. The 12 was too big to keep but I plan on buying it in a smaller size if available. Loved this.

The straps are adjustable so the chest/bust fit great and was very flattering. The skirt is VERY full, so made my bottom half look a little larger than normal but comfy, easy and has pockets! The print is cuter in person

This has a really nice weight linen feel, perfect for vacation or everyday summer wear. I have a short torso and straps are always long on me - so I had to twist the tie in the back to make the straps tighter. Even with an open back, not too revealing. Comfy!

Wore during a a vacation/fourth of July BBQ in Florida - light weight enough to cook in …in July…in Florida! Wrinkles easily but the pattern hides it and the cut makes it unnoticeable. Legs were long on me but I bought it and hemmed.

The fit is beautiful, and the cut up top is amazing - def would be better suited to a medium to full chest. The material was formal but not too heavy. Wish the non-long length had been available, will rent again!

Wore this to a rehearsal dinner for a friend's wedding in Mexico and it was perfect. The light, linen-y cotton stayed cool even in high heat and humidity and the print was tropical without being bright or flashy. After recently putting on a bit of weight, I tried on the medium and it fit - but was more snug than I'd like for a cutout back dress. I wore the large and tied the back bow tighter and it worked flawlessly, even without a bra. Even the length was perfect, I wore this with flats and at 5'3/5'4" I've never had a dress come off the rack that I didn't trip on. Definitely rent this dress!

The pattern on this romper is fun and very bright! The waist cinched comfortably without being constricting and the length wasn't too short, at least for a short gal in her mid 30's. I would definitely consider buying it (because it was a GREAT vacation find) - mostly to have it tailored slightly. The open back was very cute, but not possible to wear without a bra bc of the material, and with a short torso and narrow shoulders, it flopped around too much and kept showing even a low back bra. I'd still recommend it though, for sure!

The color on this dress is great! It was perfect for dinner at the more formal restaurant we went to at the all-inclusive resort in Mexico we went to. The material has a nice weight to it, but it's not overly hot at all. I recently put on some weight and have never worn a size 12 before, but I tried on an 8 in a different Lily dress that was too small, this was comfy with a little extra room - great for vacation!

The dress is really cute, a nice weight material and the pattern is great - pictures are truly what the tealish color looks like. It was just too small and far too short for my liking - I've got a bit of a butt, so it just hugged and hiked up. I did really like it, but would suggest sizing up if you've got any booty :)

I'm not usually one to pick a dress with cutouts, but I chose this as a backup. The other dress was very pretty, but this dress was so well made and so simply beautiful that I had to wear it. I wore nude spanx for some extra shaping and it wasn't visible through the mesh. It was a very deep V, but still very classy. Definitely rent this dress!!

The dress is much darker than it looks in the photo, but it's still really pretty. I'm 5'4" and about 150lbs, and usually wear a size 8. I tried on the 10 and I never bothered to try the 8 because it would not have fit. The black belt hit my waist in an odd spot and the straps were way too long for me. The sequins were beautiful and on someone with a longer torso, this dress would be flawless.

I wore this to a wedding in Atlanta in April - "semi casual" but with a bit of chill in the air, a long but sleeveless dress was perfect. Both sizes fit quite well but with very tall shoes, the petite was a bit short (I'm 5'3" and wore 4.5" sandals). I haven't been my fittest lately and felt amazing in the dress - plenty of room for a larger bust, but would look amazing with less up top as well...fitted and flattering waist. My boyfriend could not understand why I couldn't keep it and wished that I had! My favorite rental yet.

I got the 4R and the 6R, the 6 was a tad too big and the 4 had a small cigarette burn- wound up wearing the 4 anyway (the flowing skirt hid the burn without any effort). The dress is less orangey than it looked in photos, it's a bright tomato red-gorgeous! The bust is ever so slightly uncomfortable after a few hours, but doesn't need to be pulled up every thirty seconds so fidgeting is minimal. A stunning dress, especially among all dark colors and one girl even recognized it was Badgley Mischka!

I thought the individual pieces of the necklace would be a bit larger, but they sat beautifully at my collarbone. Absolutely gorgeous and lightweight. It completed the outfit for an already gorgeous dress that only needed a tiny but of accessorizing!

This dress is so lightweight but comes with an under slip so it's not too sheer. This was an ex-boyfriend's wedding, so I was glad to get so many compliments! Just a bit flouncier in the waist than I would have liked. I'm 5'4"(ish) and this dress was tea-length. Love Yumi Kim-her s stuff is amazing!

Very bright yellow and only hints of the gold. Sits right around the collar bone, but adjustable. Looks great with blue, wore it with the Yumi Kim "Do the Twist" dress. The jewels are very opaque, which I did not expect, but wound up loving!
