Rent this!

This dress looks and feels better in person than it does in photos. The waists sits just above your natural waistline so it’s extremely flattering and hides any tummy issues.

Cute, comfy, and love the pockets, but

It definitely runs large. I am barely a 12 and expected to need Spanx, but it was very roomy. I’m glad I didn’t get a 14. Also, the V neck goes pretty low, so I needed a Black tank underneath as well as a slip. Overall, I wore it to Easter dinner with family. It was fine.

Lovely and fun! Order size to fit bust/waist.

Dress is A-line/loose in the hips so perfect for a pear shape! I’m a size 6 on bottom, but size 2 on top - so the size 2 worked perfectly! The pattern was fun but still classic enough for work, and didn’t feel too girly or immature for dinner and a play. Looked cute with black tights and ankle boots, but will also rent in Spring to wear with heels!

Classic Kate Spade dress for work or play!

Loved the colors, pockets, and neckline too! Waist is elastic, and it felt like I almost could have sized down with the extra room in the bust/waist. It wasn't so big that I was swimming in it or anything though. I wore this for work with black flats, and the length was just right to where I didn't feel uncomfortable not having tights. This could be worn year round though, so in the winter tights would definitely be paired and look sooo cute!

Great length and comfortable

I've worn Kate spade before but this dress was really big on me. I would size down. It stretches in the middle which was nice. It was the perfect length for a work event.

I liked it, didn't love it.

I'm a wine and travel writer and wore this during a trip to Champagne. It felt a little heavy and I wasn't thrilled with the feel of the fabric, but the print looks good in photos. I also wore it out to dinner at a restaurant back home. It's fine but not my favorite.

Better than I thought

I rented this dress because I loved the colors of the flowers but didn't think I'd be able to style it so many ways. I just kept finding accessories to add! The belt! The socks! The hat! It looked cute by itself too! I'll be wearing it again tomorrow to dinner since I was too tired to go out after work and my husband said he had to take me to dinner in this dress and I'll be pairing it with a dainty necklace and black booties. Rent it. You won't be sorry, it's super flattering and versatile!

Runs large

This designer is pretty hit or miss for me. This dress ran rather large & was unflattering. There's a belt for the dress but I didn't receive it when I rented. It does have pockets though! I might have liked it better in a smaller size.

Loved this dress!

This dress was the winner of the 3 options I rented for a wedding. Flattering for my body type. Currently working on losing weight and didn't want to buy anything for a wedding that I don't plan on fitting into ever again. I'm usually a 12-14 but the 10 fit well.

People loved this dress and how it looked on!

The only con to the dress was that it was a little too loose fitting in the chest area (even though I’m a DD). I added a belt and that helped a lot!
