So many compliments!

True to size and wore to several different work events. I love the slit on the sides bc it gives it a more trendy look than most Lily dresses.

Pretty dress, loose comfortable fit

I didnt zoom in and expected a more delicate print. It was sort of blocky day glo pink. Still liked it a lot.

Perfect Summer Maxi 🌸

I love this dress! The fabric is excellent quality and I loved the pattern with its vibrant pink flowers against the crisp white backdrop. The side slits give it great movement and make it easy to walk in without restriction. Feminine, fresh, and flattering—this is the perfect summer dress for daytime events or warm evenings out. I loved it so much I bought it!

Great dress for Florida Spring

Great dress for spring or summer though the fabric is on the thicker side. Could have sized down, medium was all they had which made it a tad roomy in the armpits/chest. Comfortable and easy!

Had to add flair, but cute

I really don't know how to wear it once I put it on. It was giving "no silhouette". I possibly could have sized down as the waist was not snatched it has some give to it, it stretches. Very comfortable material, fully lined so that's a plus. The colors are more fluorescent than pastel.

Runs large and it's long

I could have gone down a size or maybe two. Pretty loose fit but the jacket help hide that. Received so many compliments even from strangers

I really liked it! Such a cute pattern!

It was a bit bigger than I expected, even with the looser/unstructured style. But I think it still ended up being cute!!

Very flattering, lightweight enough for a hot day but does have a lining for structure/quality

Lovely dress, perfect for a fairly hot day. Was a bit on the larger side from the waist down, although I didn't mind the loose swing on a hot day - snug would have been awful. And it wasn't "baggy too big" - it is a very structured lovely quality dress, so it kept its cut and design with no problem, just gave me more room around the waist and hips than a "perfect fit" would have. But the bust was a perfect fit. So there you go - the eternal problem of finding a dress that fits our bust as well as our waist and hips - short of custom tailoring, none of us will find it off the rack but about once in a lifetime. Since I accept that no non-tailored dress will fit perfectly, this one erred in all the right ways given that this is a summer dress designed to be worn on hot hot days. Loose and swingy and generous, in a structured and well designed way.

Nice thick material. I styled it with a pink cropped jacket also from RTR. Dress was a little longer than I would have liked, but not surprising as I’m 5’2.

One of the best Lilly P Dresses

The fit was great. The dress was classy. Colors are not too busy like other Lilly P. dresses. Such a great classy summer dress. The side slits were up to the knees for my height.

Loved the color palette and pattern of this dress and received multiple compliments. However, the fit is rather boxy, so it's not the most flattering!

Thick material - lined w texture

Pretty dress. It is fully lined and therefore very warm considering the colors look very tropical, but for South Florida this dress was rather warm. Also, the lining almost has a texture and after you sit in a restaurant for a long time, you really can feel it on your skin.

Runs really big - had to return

This came brand new with tags and I had to return without wearing as it was way too big all around and too long. The color and fabric are stunning but meant for a taller person.
