Customer Reviews Lilly Pulitzer Sydnee Maxi Dress

I have the blue/shell Sydney from 2024. I just purchased the new green print Sydney. Its a very flattering, comfortable, happy dress. Size down 1 size and its perfect. For reference, I am 5ft. 5 1/2 inches, and the length is perfect. I wear a size 8, 36 bust, and the small is a perfect fit.

So disappointed. I had read that this ran large but it was HUGE. I usually wear a large depending upon the cut. Ordered the Large and I was literally swimming in this dress. I thought about returning for the medium but I am afraid the silhouette is what the problem may be. Not just the bodice but the arm wholes were big, yet the shoulder straps fit fine as well as the hip/waist area. Fabric is cotton and it does appear to easily wrinkle. Print is very pretty. Length was great for me as I am 5'10", not a maxi but not a midi either.

This Dress Is Perfect! I Usually Wear A Large Go Down 1 Size

This dress was A LMOST perfect. Love the gorgeous soft print. Fabric soft and flow. And free shawl that came with it was the icing on the cake. But reluctantly I must return it because while it fit in the bust area it was generally too large and too long overall. A size down would not fit bust area. I would not hesitate to recommend this dress but check size guide first. Perfect dress but not for my figure.

These dresses are so easy - lightweight material, nice chest coverage, and flowy so its not hot. Cute paired with a denim jacket as well. I like it better than a Malone because it doesnt have strings.

This dress is so perfect and effortless. I saw another reviewer mentioned it is shapeless, but I sized down and it is extremely flattering. I like the dress so much that I'm trying to decide if I should order both colors.

The dress has a lovely design and this is where it ends. I always take an xl, this time the dress is way too big. The arm holes are huge, it looks like a maternity dress in the middle and its so long that its not worth hemming it up. Very disappointing!

Im sorry, but this dress is truly hideous. And I am a massive Lilly fan who buys several dresses, matching daughter outfits and swimsuits every year. I cant understand all the great reviews. This dress has zero shape. It looks like a mumu on. Im 57 140 lbs 47 years old and take a small in Lilly, so its thats what I ordered. Hubby said it looked like a maternity dress on me. Truly ugly. What happened to all the beautiful cuts on long dresses Lilly used to have, like the Pearce maxi and the Vyra? Those styles truly flattered the feminine shape. This Sydnee style just makes me look like a shapeless blob. Definitely the worst Lilly Ive ever purchased. Returning.

Loved this dress and print as part of the Lilly family design. I took my usual xs as I do with most sleeveless items to prevent being too big under the arms. The v-neckline is not too low cut.

OMG IT IS GORGEOUS. The print looked really big to me online, but Im so happy I got it. It is very festive and fun. I sized down and Im so grateful that I did because it flows perfectly, but it fits under my arms exactly right. The fabric is not quite as casual as I thought it was going to be and the details at the neck are precious. If youre even considering the dress, just get the dress. Youll be so happy you have it.

Such a great variation of the Malone dress, much more streamlined with a fitted top, but still slightly full and swingy on bottom! Great print and color with a beachy vibe, a must take for a tropical vacation! Fit true to size for me, didn't need to go up or down. Would love to see in other prints as well!

Love this dress! This is a very forgiving, comfortable and attractive dress. It fits so well and is so flattering! I really hope Lily Pulitzer brings out more of this exact style in a dressier print. Love the big shells but would also love a less casual print that is not so beachy.

This dress checks all the boxes and then some. One of my favorite Lilly styles of all time. Need more prints!!!

This dress is more beautiful in person and extremely flattering on. My mother and I both tried it on, fell in love with the dress and we each bought one. I strongly agree with the other reviewers, size down one size as the fit is very roomy.

So excited to wear this new dress. The color and print are fresh and beautiful. I bought a Malone last year and love it, but I love the updated styling of the clean neckline, and elevated ladder lace trim on the Sydnee. The body fits the same as my Malone. skimming to the body at the bust, but flowy and full throughout the rest of the body. Perfect for when it is humid and you don't want something close fitting.

This dress is absolutely fabulous. It does not run TTS I had to size down to an xs. Its soft and its beautiful in. Very soft and easy to dress up for dinner or throw on some sandals and run errands.

Love the large printed shells. Its flowy and fun, cant wait to wear.

In my XL size, the skirt was fuller than I thought. I loved it though, it swayed when I walked lol. Felt like a comfortable stretchy gown. Length was sweeping the floor on my 54 frame, which again I like. A fancy knit.

I love the cut, and the soft fabric, its flowy and comfortable. The V-neck is not too low and a little more tailored so it fits nicely. I normally wear a Large in Lilly tops and the large in this maxi fits me perfectly. Length on me at 55 is exactly to the floor. I can wear flats or heels.
