A little funky & a lot fun. Overall, perfect for a weekend in San Diego. 

I got so many compliments. This dress was both beautiful and comfortable. A little tight in the chest area perhaps but that was my only complaint. I used garment tape to keep the buttons from gaping. 

Kate Spade.com told me I'd be a size 8 in this dress but I picked a size 6 on rent the runway. I have an hourglass figure and the 6 was PERFECT. 

Although this was my back up, I decided to wear this to the event. The fabric is rather thick but still a flattering fit. Print and the lace is very pretty and you can dress up or down under a denim jacket. It was perfect for a 65 degree weather!

Loved. Comfortable. Lots of compliments. Great print

I wore this to a family thanksgiving with black tights and it was a hit. The waist was a bit loose but it was perfect and looked great with the flared skirt. Dress is short but was perfect length on my 5'2 frame. 

This dress fit really well. I'm 5'6" and about 128 lbs and the 4 was perfect. There's no a lot of give in the material because it's pretty thick and durable. That fabric also makes it slightly more casual. There are pockets btw! 

Loved this dress! Wore it for a stage presentation I had to give at a National sales meeting and again at a dance event. So flattering!

Wore this for a Summer graduation ceremony and it was so cute. The material is thick but preserves the skirt flounce.  As mentioned, the sleeves are snug.  

Fit a little tight over my chest and I'm a 38C.   I had a few times throughout my day that I had to button my top.  Other than that, this dress was comfortable and the fabric was very soft. 

Great for weddings and everyday wear. Flirty and flouncy without revealing a ton of skin.

Fits tight in bust, but suck a beautiful dress! I got MANY compliments -- win for sure!

Wore this for a wine bar date night and it was perfect! A little flirty with the black lace detail, but so comfy with the pockets. Will def rent again. I’m also wearing it to a work lunch next week.

I wore this to work, a date, and museum hoppin. It's great! The fit is perfect for moving, eating large meals and not being constricted, and biking around the city. I loved every moment in this dress.

I wore the 14 and left the top unbuttoned for a more casual look. Loved the pockets! Sooooo many compliments! 

Runs slightly larger given style.  Super cute, substantial looking, great material and  Collar adds a wow factor.  

loved it! perfect for the conference I was attending! a belt is absolutely necessary! happy I ordered a size down. 

Very cute and comfortable. A lot of compliments including a "I promise I'm not flirting with you, but that dress is beautiful on you."

Had a small stretch to the dress. Pockets  ;)


I loved this dress. The material had a little stretch so it was super cozy. The waist was a little large but it still looked great. 

Love the print and lace detail. I think I could've sized down because I had extra room in the waist so I belted it but it was comfortable across my bust (36B) and didn't pull/gape there so maybe this was the right size. 

Bit tight in the bodice, but otherwise fit well.

I love this dress because  it's easy and flairy and a great choice when you just don't feel like wearing anything form fitting. Received compliments all day through the office. Easy winner! 

If you're curvier, I would go up a size for this dress. I wore it to work and got tons of compliments! The fabric is great for warmer weather and it has pockets

Absolutely in love with this dress. Sure it was a little loose in the waistline, but still looked amazing on me. I don't agree with other reviewers that said it made a curvy girl look heavier...on me, it looked great. If I didn't already own too many dresses I would have bought it!

LOVE this dress.  I wore it to a client event and accessorized it with a belt to give my waist more emphasis and finished the look with red suede pumps. Received SO many compliments.  I will definitely rent this Kate Spade dress again!!

I liked the lace detail on the dress and the print. I love anything tropical. The fabric was on the heavier side. The skirt has almost too much fabric. It is pretty full. I tried to wear a puffy underskirt, but is looked funny. In the end I wore it with a wide belt and the skirt lay very nicely. 

This dress is very soft. I do not usually notice, but it is made so well! It was super comfortable, and there are also pockets!

I love bright florals against the dark background! The 8 fit well, which is my typical size, and I'd recommend sizing down for your backup size. It hit at about my knee at 5'5" and fit comfortably.

The dress is beautiful. The fabric is beautiful. The fit is wonderful. I wore it to get on the plane for my birthday trip. People on the street stopped me as i was walking into he airport, on the counter, at the restaurant as i was waking to the gate. It has pockets!  It is great to wear to office or afterwards to an evening out. It was also the right length. 

The fabric is cotton which seems plain to the touch, but the design makes the difference. I wore it for the whole plane ride which was over 16 hours and not a wrinkle on it. It looked like if i had just put it on! It also has some beautiful lace around the bottom which gives it that extra special touch. I will want to rent it again. 

Made me look heavier than I am, but I still liked it. Playful and cute and true to size! 

Cute dress that is super versatile. You could wear this with sneakers for an everyday look or with heels for a shower or occasion. Not dressy enough for a wedding IMO. 

Full transparency, I wasn't a huge fan at home but it fit well enough so I made it work. Women at work LOVED this look. I ended up loving this dress paired with Moto boots and black tights and it won me over too. The skirt is full and playful. It was a great transitional dress b/w winter and spring. Thankfully, a previous renter had safety pinned the gap b/w the bottom buttons - thanks sister! 

I'm normally between 6-8, and was swimming in the 6. Other than being a little too big, the dress is great. The print is awesome and I got tons of compliments. Good for office wear. I'd rent it again in a size down. 

I wore this dress for a work event and received many compliments. After reading the reviews I sized up to accomodate my chest, which is large (38 DD). The dress buttoned up well, but I wore a black tank top underneath for extra coverage.  Because I did size up, I found the waist area to be a little shape-less/wide so I would have benefitted from adding a belt. I'm on the taller side, 5'7, so I found the length to be perfectly appropriate for the event I was attending. 

Liked this dress a lot, but it was tight across the chest so I had to wear it open with a tank under. If you have a larger chest than you should definitely size up.

I loved that this looked cute with flats and heels. I rented it for a work dinner but felt it was too cutesy. Instead I wore it for a dinner date and loved. It was comfortable and cute, but not overly fancy or sexy. 

I really loved this dress, it fit perfectly and the slight flare of the skirt was perfect. I paired a wide belt and loved it even more.

The dress is cute, a bit girlish. The material was much stiffer than I expected, so it doesn't flow or move much. I prob should have gotten a size 2, but the pattern cut is slim under the bust and doesn't give so a 4 doesn't pinch.

Fit TTS, but I felt that the lace details and skirt fullness made it feel a little country. I added a gold belt, which I thought helped pull it together. 

Overall, liked the dress OK but only wore once. 

Beautiful fabric and lace details, but another odd fit for Kate Spade shirt dresses. This has an oddly high waistline that's loose in the front and reminds me more of a babydoll dress than anything else. Great if you are tall/have a long torso and that's what you want, but I probably won't rent again.

This dress was way too puffy and short, which was a terrible combination. I felt like a 4-year-old when I tried it on. I didn't even wear it. 

Dress runs big. Skirt was a bit too much as well. 

I wound up not wearing this dress because it just wasn't my style, nor did it fit well. I found it to fit loose over all and extremely loose at the waist. The dress itself was busy, there was a lace overlay on parts of the dress and ruffles at the bottom. It was just a lot going on at once, also, the fabric is much more summery than I had been expecting. 

I'm about 5'3" and this came below my knee and made me look even shorter than I am. It was super cute but not the look I was going for 

I'm not one to rock a floral, so this was a great way to wear a "black" dress with a bit of tropical flare. It flounces out on bottom more than I expected. 

This is an easy-to-wear, feminine, fit-and-flare cotton dress. The full skirt is fun and has pockets!! I rented my usual RTR size 10 (for reference, I am 5'8', 154 lbs, 36C) and it fit well, so it runs true to size. It was a bit snug at the chest (notice the pulling of the fabric at the chest in the photo), a bit wide at the waist, and a bit short-waisted (at least for someone who is 5'8"). For someone who usually doesn't wear girly dresses, I surprisingly enjoyed wearing this to a grill party with friends. 

When I first put on this dress all I could think was cow girl because of the super full skirt and matching lace on the top and skirt. But I embraced it, and belted the skirt to help define my waste a little more, and was super happy with it. Got compliments all day.
