Wore this for my indoor engagement party during a warm Fall day. Comfortable and light.

Great fit for size 6. Comfortable enough to move around in, including party games and even during set-up and clean up.

Perfect summer dress

I wore this dress to my daughter’s graduation and it was such a great choice. Easy to wear and accessorize, didn’t wrinkle after sitting and was a good length. Arm holes didn’t gap or show too much, just a great all around dress.

Cute Shift Dress

I was worried this would be too tight, but it fit really well. Thicker material, and the length was perfect on me. I liked the appliqué running down the front because I feel like it hid my stomach.

Love this dress

This dress is very classy casual. I wore it to a baby shower. However, I ordered my normal size 10 and it was a bit snug. I did not have any room to wear a bra. I will order a 12 next time.

Classic dress

Very comfortable, runs a little small. Classic lace detailing. Looks more expensive than a lot of Lilly dresses out these days. Would definitely rent again!

Comfy dress!

Dress fit true to size. It ended up being a chilly weekend so paired with a denim jacket and some flats. Worked out perfect.

Beautiful staple

This is a very classic look for daytime summer events. I wore this for Father's Day lunch on the water. It's comfortable and light, very high quality with cute touches.

Classic Lily Pulitzer

Great dress, true to size, long enough to wear to a work event without being overly sexy. One drawback is that the cotton has no stretch so as you wear it, the butt and hips get a little stretched out.

Cute, but not super flattering.

Colors are beautiful, doesn't wrinkle easy, perfect for work cocktail function. Felt it made me look wider than I really am.

Loved this dress!!

Loved this dress!! Wore it once to work and once out to dinner and got lots of compliments. I am about 5'0" and 120 lbs and was comfortable in a size 2. However if I get much bigger in the shoulders it would be tight. Beautiful color and loved the fabric

Great summer work or social dress

I wore this to work and it was a hit. My office is freezing though so I had to opt for a cardigan most of the day even though I think it looks way better without. Probably could have went with a 0, but bc I wore to work I went with the 2 and it fit totally fine.

The event was to celebrate the end of a golf tournament - it was located at a country club.

Dress was a little big in the chest area - how ever i am very petite so this is normal for me. i received so many compliments on the dress and i felt so comfortable in it! I was able to dance eat talk sit and had no problem what so ever! I would recommend and would wear again if i could!

Loved the dress!

Dress fit a little loose but that was the style. It gets a little wrinkly as the day goes on if you do a lot of sitting to standing. I received lots of compliments. I would definitely rent this again!

Beautiful dress, incredible quality, compliments all day!

Loved this! I wore it for Easter and posted this photo on Instagram, and people were texting me personally to say how much they loved my dress! Be warned that Lilly Pulitzer runs large. This was my back up - I had ordered another Lilly dress in my usual size 4, and it was huge, but they didn't have it in a 2 for the weekend I needed it, so I got this one. I'm happy I did!

Perfect for Easter Sunday! Got it with the tags still on so it was beautiful and crisp. I love all Lilly and this is no exception! Runs big as is true for most Lilly shifts of course. Loved this rental!

Beautiful colors

I wore this for Easter and received compliments on the color and style of the dress all day. The fit is more of a straight cut, it did not hug my body or fill in the small of my back. It is a perfect length and I loved the how detail on the sides of this dress.

Comfortable, High Quality, Spring Dress

I really liked this dress and always love when I receive pieces with the tags still on. The material is of great quality and is great for hiding problem areas. My only complaint is that the ties on the side continuously came untied.

Dinner in bed at a restaurant in Aruba

Very pretty dress, great details (lace and ties at the bottom). Absolutely no stretch, so it was a bit awkward for our dinner out laying on a bed. I'd recommend this more for an evening where you will mostly be standing up vs. sitting.

Great print!

Loved the print of the dress - great for a spring/summer event! Wore it to a work gala. It was a bit big, wish it was available 00. I wouldn't consider it the best dress for a petite frame.
