Absolutely stunning!
This dress is even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. The color is incredible. The fabric is thick and luxurious. It's structured enough that there's no need for a bra or spanx! I got compliments all night.

Love this dress! Great structure and heavy fabric.
I wore this to our couples shower that was Triple Crown themed (and there was a triple crown winner!). I got amazing compliments all night. The 10 would have probably been more comfortable, but the 8 held me in more and I didn't have to wear a bra. The bodice is very structured, which is great.

Tons of compliments, but not a great fit
I wore this to a charity gala. Pros: I got so many compliments all night long. The color and pattern are beautiful, the photos really don't do it justice. It's really heavy and structured material and the shape is really slimming and flattering. Cons: This dress runs VERY small. I'm usually between an 8 and a 10. Even the 10 was extremely snug, it was riding up all night. The shoulders/straps were too big/long so it was gapping at the top all night. Also the front pocket is a cute idea, but it never laid flat. It was kind of pouching out all night. The fit just generally left a lot to be desired.

Beautiful color! Fit is a bit weird.
I wore this for a special anniversary date night with my fiancé. The color of this dress is GORGEOUS! I think that the pink is even brighter in person. I loved it. I wasn't a huge fan of the fit. The 10 fit much better through the waist and stomach, but the top (chest and shoulders) was very baggy and awkward. The top fit better on the 8 (still a little big though), but the waist was a little tighter than I'd like. I ended up wearing the 8. I also wore a Nubra, which helped give me some lift and fill out the top. I did like the rouching, it was very forgiving. It was definitely a good value for the price. I would probably rent again (for a wedding, maybe).

Beautiful color!
I love this dress!!! I got it at the RTR store in Vegas. I normally wear an 8, but all the store had was a 6. It was a little snug, but it fit ok, so I decided to rent it anyway. I'm glad I did! It was perfect for dinner and a show in Las Vegas. I might rent again, and if I do, I'll definitely get the 8.

Runs VERY small, but beautiful dress
I LOVED this dress, as mentioned by other reviewers, it's even more beautiful in person than it is in the photos. My problem was that it was WAY too small. My last Lilly Pulitzer rental was a size 8 and fit like a glove. Reviewers said that this one runs small, so I went with a 10 for my backup. Even then 10 is EXTREMELY small, to the point that I won't be able to wear it. The waist especially has no give whatsoever. It was cutting in to my ribcage. I was able to get it on and zipped, but I feel like I would have been VERY uncomfortable all night, especially sitting, eating, and dancing at a wedding. I emailed RTR and someone responded right away, but we couldn't find another comparable dress that was available in my size this weekend. So I'm sending it back for a refund... guess I'm spending the afternoon at the mall. My advice: If you're at all between sizes (I'm usually either an 8 or a 10, depending on the dress), order the larger of those two, PLUS another size up for your backup.

Color and cut are extremely flattering. Plus it's SO comfortable!
I absolutely LOVED this dress. I wish I could keep it! I wore it to my law school graduation and it was absolutely perfect. It looked amazing and was so comfortable all day. I got so many compliments! It was pretty true to size, maybe a little on the large side since I'm usually between an 8 and a 10 and the 8 fit me like a glove.

Amazing!
This was my first Rent the Runway experience, and I'd rent this dress again in a heartbeat! I got it for our law school formal, the Malpractice Ball (affectionately called "Law Prom") and it was a total hit! So many compliments. It's a little short, so consider wearing boyshorts/tights under it if you're worried about that. The sequins were surprisingly not itchy or irritating (my friends have had that problem with dresses or shirts in the past). It's darker than it looks on the model, more of a black/gunmetal color. I think it was absolutely perfect!
