WOW!!!

This dress is stunning, fits spectacularly well, and isn’t too short. It arrived in a crumpled up wad in the box, yet miraculously remained wrinkle-free. This dress could easily become my favorite party dress of all-time! I’m generally hesitant to try “shift” dresses because I’m curvy, but this dress flows nicely without clinging. Just try it!

Beautiful but runs big

Beautiful dress, however, it’s so wide in the middle. I am usually a pretty solid 0 at Lilly but sometimes have to go 00 in wide dresses. This dress doesn’t look wide on the model but I should have sized down to a 00.

Awesome

This dress is amazing! I talked to John in the Newport Beach store and he indicated that it does fit small in the bust area. He was right. I went up a size and it fits like a dream.  Very flattering. I am 5'3 and the length is perfect.

Adorable dress

3 years ago
Just worn this very pretty dress in black. I received so many compliments. The pearls down the front on either side of the zipper is a great addition instead of just the zipper down the front. Also, the dress is very comfortable.  The only problem I see, the dress is on the shorter side so if one does not like above the knee and then some, the dress would not work for that person.

Beautiful detail !

This is a beautiful dress , but here's the scoop on my experience with the fit. I, 5'5, 130 lbs, hourglass figure. Ordered both a size 4 and a 6. Ended up ordering a size 2. As a shift dress, obviously there is more material in the lower half of the dress. I preferred the dress to fit as more representative of the model. I still gave it 5 stars. Just have to get the right size. aso, you could totally wear this to an event or dress it down with flat sandals.

Elegant and timeless!

I had been debating ordering this dress for almost 3 years until I had the perfect event to wear it to. I went in store to try on because of the reviews and a 0 ended up being my perfect size. I'm usually a 4 in other brands so I was surprised! I'm 5'5" 130 lbs and the 0 fit perfectly. It's a little snug in the chest so fyi if you are larger than a B you may need to size up. So excited to wear this! Looks so cute halfway unzipped.

Great dress, just runs large for petites

I bought this dress for an upcoming event. I loved the adjustable neckline with the front zipper. I’m 5 feet and 103 pounds and ordered a xs. Unfortunately it ran large on me and I had to get it altered. The armholes showed my bra and the length was just too long. After getting it altered it is the perfect any occasion dress for me!

Soooo cute...but

I bought this and the hot pink Adalee dress a month ago and it was definitely adorable but if you’re large busted, don’t buy it. It was smashing my girls and very uncomfortable through the chest area. I soooo wanted to own these because I knew that they’d be favorites of mine but too tight! For your reference, I’m a 44C and 5’3”.

Adorable Dress!!

I saw this dress on line and went to my local Lilly store to see it in person and try it on. I was a little worried that the ruffles at the sleeve might be too young looking for me, but when I tried it on I had to have it! The ruffles are actually adorable, and I just love the pearl detailing down the front. The crepe fabric gives it more of a dressy look. I can't wait to wear it on New Year's Eve!
