I absolutely loved the dress, it was great quality and perfect for the occasion. All of the other reviews are correct that it is VERY tight right around the bust/bra line. I have a small chest (34-36B) but a small B (ha!) and it was still crazy tight. I usually wear a size 6 or 8 in dresses just depending on the style. This dress I wore the 8 only because of the bust. Frankly, the 6 would have been better in other areas but I couldn't get it zipped at the top!

I ordered an 8 and a 6 that arrived the Wednesday before the wedding, only to find out that neither fit me (too small in the boobs). I frantically called to have a 10 shipped to me, which arrived the next day and was great! Loose skirt was great for dancing, and the dress has great colors for summer. 

Great dress all around. Wore to a Derby Party and received tons of compliments. I needed a different bra to not show on sides but I did not have time to remedy that once I finally tried it on. Fits true to size. 

I wore this to an Oktoberfest party and it was a hit. The fit was great for me (typically a size 4) and yes there are #pockets -- Win! (Why do designers hate putting in pockets??)

I'm not sure this is my style outside of Oktoberfest but I would recommend the dress to others!

Dress was easy to wear and travel with. Fit like a glove! It also has pockets which is an A+ in my book. 

Love the style and color of this dress! Go t so many compliments. The only problem was that I have a large chest and this dress was very constructing in this dress. I am usually a 8 but I wore the 10 because the top was just so small. All and all LOVE this dress 

Rented this for a bridal luncheon. Great colors and fit however the skirt is borderline has too much volume. 

Love Kate Spade, This is the perfect dress for a daytime party. You can dress it up or down as needed.  

I normally wear a 4 in street clothes, but I'm BF, so my chest is pretty large and i read the reviews saying the chest is tight. It is! I barely got the top zipped. The zipper is also very difficult, which is why I gave it 4 stars. But, the dress was cute and super flattering and I got a ton of compliments and comments on how good I looked. It was also very comfortable and fun even chasing a toddler and carrying an infant. Recommend!!

This dress is so charming! I wore it for the Fourth of July, and it was perfect for the occasion. It's a nice, high-quality material and well-made. I got a lot of compliments, and my husband loved it. It did run a little small, though. The bodice was tight and kind of flattened me more than I'd like. But otherwise it was comfortable and easy to wear. Perfect to dress up or down for summer parties, weddings, or Easter.

I had this as a second rental to wear to the rehearsal dinner of my best friends wedding. It has pockets (every basic girls dream!) and it is very much a classic party dress. Not typically my style, but the print was gorgeous. 

This dress was a lot more fun and flirty in person than in the online pictures. It fit perfectly in the bust and was super comfortable, but the rib cage section was very tight. I have had two babies though, which has widened my rib cage. I would still wear it again.  This was perfect for a wedding rehearsal, which is was all standing our sitting. I wouldn't wear this to a wedding though because any bending (dancing) would easily reveal under the skirt. 

Wore this to my niece's Bat Mitzvah. I had been eyeing this dress for a while off RTR. The top is cut in a flattering manner. Love the Moroccan tile print. It has huge pockets! And you can really stuff them because the billowy skirt hides them. Obviously, I'm a huge fan of this dress because I bought it!

I rented this dress to wear specifically in Santorini on vacation. I received loads of compliments all day! It's breezy and adorable. As with most Kate Spade's, it runs small as I usually wear a 12 but wore the 14. The weather was extremely hot and this dress was very cool and comfortable while being stylish and girlie! Thinking of buying!! 

I loved this dress on the website and the reviews were so positive! I wore a size 0 but it was a bit big in the waist area. Luckily that issue didn't not show up significantly in the pictures. Wore this to a very hot outdoor graduation and the material allowed air to flow. 

Loved the vibrant blue and white of the dress. The cut was super flattering and loved the full skirt. It also had pockets which always makes me love a dress that much more. Runs a little on the small size. I'd size up from a standard size to ensure it fits comfortably. Would definitely rent this one again and didn't want to send it back. 

Rented this for a "big number" birthday weekend! Straps felt a little long, but dress stayed in place and I didn't have any problems with it. Hard to find anything that isn't too big and this was perfect! So much fun and comfortable! Not quite as vibrant blue as it appears in the picture, but otherwise, loved it. 

Wore this dress to the Kentucky Derby and it was the perfect choice. Like other reviewers said, the bust is quite snug. I would recommend sizing up if in doubt. No give or stretch at all. Got several compliments and felt awesome wearing it. Highly recommend this dress!

When going to a college football game in the south - one is required to wear a girly dress the team colors. This was the perfect gator blue for a return trip to my alma mater. Go Gators

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!

I got so many compliments on this dress during a weekend in Austin! The material is a little heavier and stiff so the skirt has some volume. It was just the right length for going out at night without feeling too short. The middle band is tight with no give so if you have a broader rib cage it can be a little constricting. The blue felt a little less vibrant probably from being washed a lot but not terrible. 

It was a form fitting dress on top but flared out  on the hips. It was comfortable to wear for an indoor outdoor party in the summer heat. I think that is was flattering and had a nice bright blue color. 

Wore this sdurinf the day in San Miguel de Allende. Perfect for instragram photos

This was such a fantastic vacation dress in Mexico. I would keep it if i could.

I wore this on vacation with fuchsia earrings and a fuchsia bag, Which gave it to pop it needed.   Love this dress for vacation especially in Mexico!  Its also perfect with a denim jacket when it gets a little chilly at night.

 Loved this dress. There is no stretch to the fabric so it was a bit tight around the chest but not uncomfortable and I love any dress with pockets. Was a great rental for winter in Hawaii. 

I loved this dress.  At 5'10" it still came to my fingertips and didnt feel too short.  It was tight in the chest but i have a small bust and it worked great for me.  I think a larger chest would not be comfortable in it though, as the fabric had no give to it.  It was a bit poofier in the skirt than i thought it would be.  Overall this was my favorite rental in quite awhile.  Would definitley rent again.

Very cute dress but a bit too formal for work. The material is on the thicker side and the skirt tends to billow out. Would be perfect for a weekend day party

Very tight in the busy for me as I have quite large ladies but otherwise super comfortable- my favorite rental yet. Lots of compliments 

I wore this originally to go wedding dress shopping with my mom. She was obsessed and ended up buying it for me from another store as a surprise and shipped it to me. I wear it all the time and get compliments every time I do. So cute and fun. Fits like a glove. A bit tight in the chest so I don't wear a bra. Love it!!!

Fits like a classic Kate Spade fit n flare. Feminine. Tailored. Flirty. Gorgeous lightweight fabric was perfect for an early Fall night in SoCal. I felt gorgeous and loved this dress! 

Definitely love this dress! Hard to zip in back for my bust size. Nice to pair with denim jacket going into fall. Cute and a little ruffly on the bottom. 

Fit was a little tight in the bust, but I thought the structure of the dress was really complimentary.  Also I loved the pattern and the pockets! 

The top was definitely very sung but the rest fit great. I didn't need to wear a bra. It was very comfortable. 

I'm still getting compliments on this dress. Probably my favorite of all summer. The best color and print. Fit perfectly. 

I rented this for a date night and ended up wearing it to date night, girls' night and a birthday party.  This dress was so fun and fresh.  Love it!  This fits true to size.

Wore this for an outdoor wedding in August and was very comfortable! The skirt is full without any lining. There are snaps in the straps to hold your bra straps, but I went with a strapless bra because of how it fit me. There's no stretch, so choose your size based on your bust/torso. Love that there are pockets and basically a built-in belt. Lots of compliments!
