I was thinking Lilly Pulitzer for my boyfriend's graduation last spring, and the moment I saw this dress I knew it was perfect. Unfortunately both my size and the next up were unavailable, so I ignored other users' description of "runs small" and ordered the size down. It fit! The form-fitting torso/bust and mid-thigh length make this dress flattering while appropriate for any work-, family-, or school-related event.

I wore this to my boyfriend's college senior formal. As it wasn't my senior year, I wanted to not wear a floor length dress but still stand out. I loved wearing this! It is very short, but so snug at the bottom that I never worried about it riding too high. I wore the XS because it fit better on top and I didn't mind how tight it was around the hips/butt, but it did wrinkle a bit in front. The S would have been gorgeous too, but with next to no shape. I only gave 4/5 stars because I didn't love how loose the middle section was, but I knew it was supposed to be a somewhat saggy fit going into it from others' reviews. As long as you are OK with that, the beading is absolutely gorgeous and this was perfect for a warm spring/summer evening formal!!
