Perfect spring engagement party dress
Loved this! Comfortable, but not too short. Had a little more give than most Lily dresses I've worn, so I didn't need to size up for it to fit my hips (which I tend to have to do with this brand).

Comfortable and glamorous!
I wore this for a black tie optional party in NYC. Fun and glitzy, but also very comfortable because the top was loose and the bottom was stretchy. A great length to feel formal too.

Comfortable and stylish!
The dress fit great - not too short and comfortable room in the arms and hips. Fit the waist perfectly. Great for an afternoon wine tasting with friends.

Perfect engagement photo shoot dress!
I'm obsessed. Fun, unique print. The top is fitted and very flattering. The bow is amazing. Unforgettable dress for my engagement photos. 10/10 recommend!

Not too flashy, felt super trendy!
Wore this to a fancy Friday night party in NYC and it was great! Comfortable room at the hips (which is usually my problem area). A little loose around the rib cage, but I wouldn't have sized any differently. Definitely recommend!

Great fit and color, slit is too high for work
The color is great and the dress fit like a glove (but still work appropriate). I'm usually a 2 but the 4 was the right one. Only issue is the slot is very high...too high for work.

Beautiful dress and color, a little too tight.
Gorgeous dress, but it ran a small. I am typically a straight size 2, and I think the 4 would have fit me fine.

Comfortable, fun, flattering!
Super comfortable dress. Wore to a semi-formal spring wedding and it looked great. The fabric is a little more formal than cotton, so I could dress it up a little more than a typical maxi. I'm 5'7" and it was a little long, even with about 3" heels, so careful the tripping hazard. LOVED it!

Great, comfortable dress for Easter!
The fabric of this dress was great. Stretchy and comfortable, but not skin tight. Length and cap sleeves are great for more formal/conservative events (like church on Easter), but the colors are fun and springy.

Beautiful dress, kind of a funky fit
Such a fun dress! But didn't fit me quite right. I had a backup so I didn't end up wearing it. I have a narrow torso/bust, and it was a little baggy up top. It was a little tight on my hips too, so some uncomfortable pulling. Great color and unique style though

Fit like a glove!
This dress was great! A beautiful thick, stretchy fabric, so it was form fitting but also very comfortable. I'm usually a 2 and the 2 fit perfectly. Bright fun colors. Perfect for a dressy rehearsal dinner

Great colorful summer dress
Wore this dress for law school graduation and loved it! The colors are very bright and fun. The top fit snugly and didn't need adjustments throughout the day, which is crucial for a strapless dress. Great length and flattering for & flare shape. Loved it!

Fun and flattering party dress
Wore this dress to a law school formal and loved it! Short, but not uncomfortably so. The back was amazing--super flattering. I would recommend fashion tape on the back though. Since it's such a large opening I felt a lot more comfortable knowing it was taped in place and not going anywhere. I thought it fit pretty loosely around the waist and chest too. However I think a smaller size would have been uncomfortable in the hips/ length. Overall super flattering and fun!

Fun summery sun dress!
I wore this for a day time law school graduation event. This was an adorable dress! The fabric was surprisingly stretchy and lightweight, making the dress very comfy to wear all day. It's a little short--but not problematically so. A great dress overall!

Flattering fun party dress!
Wore this to a business school formal event and loved it! The cut out was really good looking but not overly large. I wore my usual size but I think I could have sized down--ran a little big especially in the waist and chest. I also think it would only work for taller women--I'd say at least 5'6". But I loved the length! Gave it a classy look to contrast the more revealing cut out I also have a very long torso, so I had a little bit of under-cleavage to watch out for. Overall the fabric is thick and stretchy, so very flattering. Great dress and I felt great wearing it!

Entirely too large!
I got this dress as a replacement dress for a cocktail party event. From the reviews, I saw that the top ran a little big, and the hips ran a little small, so I decided to size up as a backup to fit my hips. I should have sized down! The 2 (my usual size) was so grossly large on top that no amount of fashion tape would've fixed it. I ended up not being able to wear the dress at all. And the 2 definitely had enough room at my hips, which is typically my problem area. If you have a slender frame (especially if you have small shoulders, ribs, chest), definitely size down.

Va-va-voom Formal Dress!
I LOVED this dress. It was a really cool form-fitting, yet thick fabric, and the pattern looked really smooth. I wore it to my law school barrister's ball on Valentine's day. The color is super bright, which I really liked. It was TIGHT though. I managed to fit into the size I ordered, but I honestly had some trouble breathing. I could've done well to wear the small, but they didn't have it in stock when I ordered. I couldn't wear any undergarments to make it fit. However, I do have curvy hips in proportion to the rest of my size, and I was able to squeeze into a tight dress (which doesn't always happen). Definitely recommend!

Beautiful color, fun for a wedding!
Dress is gorgeous--beautiful color, fun details, comfy. I wore it for a "formal attire" springtime wedding. It fit a little snug on the bottom--the opening was too tight on my legs, so I had to wear a size larger than usual. Other than that, it fit true to size. It's also on the short side. If you're shorter it would probably be a perfect length, but I felt like it was a little too short, especially when I was sitting.

Comfortable, great looking dress!
I loved the material of the dress--I thought it was going to be a little stiff/scratchy. But it was a very soft and comfy fabric. Had a little stretch and it moved with me. It didn't ride up at all like shorter tighter dresses can do. I felt AWESOME in this dress. Fitted but comfortable around the bust & waist. I typically have to size up for my hips area, but the dress fit perfectly there too. And it was a perfect length for someone my height It seemed a little worn around the bottom hem and had a few pulls. But it was nothing anyone but me would notice.
