So elegant and super fun with the large bow. Classic Kate Spade in fit and style. 

I did not end up wearing this dress as it was just a tad too big but it was darling. 

I adored the back bow detail, the cut of the back - and pockets! 

I would size up as I felt it ran a little small. I am usually a size 6 right now,  but could have worn this in a pinch 

A little long, wish it came in petite. The bow tops wouldn't stop curling over, I tried putting in some paper to fluff it out, but they were stuck that way. I don't usually wear a zero, but it fit great! 

I ADORE this dress. There were some issues with my order, so I only got the size 2 delivered. It fit, but I would have like to try the 4 just for comfort sake. The zipper did stick a bit where the pocket of the dress was sewn in. I got so many compliments on this dress. I am considering buying!! I did not wear a bra, just petals.  Love it!!

I absolutely loved this dress. I received so many compliments. It's comfortable, it has pockets, it makes a statement, and it was perfect for a Palm Beach wedding. I wore my hair up in a high pony to show the bow in the back. I felt so confident all night. It fits so well and the color is perfection. 

I rented this for a summer formal cocktail wedding and loved it! Ended up with a 10, pretty true to size. For perspective I'm 155, 5,5". It does have pockets which was a pleasant surprise! Lots of compliments on this dress. If you're well-endowed in the tit area, I suggest not wearing a bra. 

I rented this dress for engagement photos. I loved almost everything about the dress: the color was fun and bright, and the style was super flattering. The bow on the back was a sweet touch (it's not all the way buttoned in the picture). The only thing I didn't love was the stitching around the bust, which I tried to iron down but not sure it helped. Overall, beautiful dress and great color!

I went as Jackie Kennedy for Halloween and this dress was perfect! 

This was well worn, which is why it was so reasonable to purchase in the app. I almost bought it but it was such a hit, it's like one I couldn't wear again anyways. Definitely rent this dress for the bow and happy color. 

I have a short torso so this bunches up in a weird way there. The volume/length of the skirt did not flatter me.

Runs small in the bust. In hindsight I wish I hadn't worn a bra. Love love love the dress and received endless compliments. Wore this to a black tie optional wedding in downtown Chicago and it was sheer perfection. The bow in the back elevates it. Just do yourself a favor and rent this dress. 

I loved this dress. It was a perfect length, had pockets & the bow is not over done on the back. I thought my long hair would get caught in it, but it was not a problem. The fabric is thick, so you could probably go with out a bra, but my strapless worked & didn't show, so I wore one. I'm not a huge fan of side zippers, but I had just a little extra give, so it worked for me. The pink color is very bright, so I would say this is a statement piece dress. I would rent it again!

I usually wear a 12 and this dress fit perfect. I loved the pockets and the dress was easy to dance in. The material wasn't too heavy either. 

Night-before wedding party (post-rehearsal dinner party). Able to wear strapless bra. Length perfect. SO MANY COMPLIMENTS. Sorry for low photo quality. POCKETS!

Loved this dress and got lots of compliments. Brighter in person than the RTR pic. It has a great fit to it and I didn't need a bra (pasties) bc the bodice fit was just right. The pockets were super handy! My measurements are 34-27-35 for reference. 

I felt like a celebrity. People were stopping me commenting on the beauty of this dress! It fit wonderfully, although I had to ditch the bra due to the open back.

I got so many compliments on this dress! I wore it for a friend's wedding and guests kept telling me how much they liked the bow on the back. Loved the fit and especially the POCKETS! Color is super flattering. I would definitely rent this one again.

Super flattering, fun, cute dress. I loved this dress. The front is classic and the color and bow in the back set it apart. I got tons of compliments and more importantly felt awesome. 

Fit wonderfully. Definitely needed a little help clasping the back. Can wear a strapless bra with. The skirt is so fun and full, you can fit a lot in the pockets!

I wore it for my nursing pinning ceremony and my dress stood out. I got compliments because of its bright color and bow at the back. Just FYI, the dress color is more accurate when I am facing the photo with my hand on my hip. It looks like a warmer pink in the other photo where you can see the bow because the room lights were yellow. When I first fit it, I thought it was a little bit loose because I can still pinch like 0.5 to 1in of fabric on the waist part. But it actually gave me room to breathe after eating :). The dress had pockets too! This dress is cute, playful, and attention grabbing while keeping it tasteful. 

I got this dress for a rehearsal dinner. I had worn it in red to a wedding earlier in the year and loved it. If you're shorter (I'm 5'2") it will likely be more of a tea length, but still very comfy, beautiful and bold. 

I fell in love with this dress! I almost didn't return it! I rented it for the annual Kentucky Derby party that my husband and I host. The photo doesn't show how fun and bouncy the skirt is, or the amazing bow on the back. The pockets were essential for carrying my phone and sunglasses around. It fit perfectly around my waist. And I was voted best dressed!

Reminded me of the Marvelous Mrs Maisel with the back bow and swishy skirt. Wanted a size 2, but it was unavailable. Size 0 fit fine. Will be big if you’re normally a size 0, I think. I needed help with all the snaps and clasps in the back,  but that’s ok. Got more compliments than I can count! Sooo cute and fun and easy to wear. Plus pockets! 🙌🏻

Wore this dress to the Derby. Received tons of compliments. Fit is forgiving. I could have probably fit in a 4 as well. 

I almost always wear a 8, sometimes a 6, so I ordered both.  The 6 was "good enough", but the 4 definitely would have been better.  (I am 5'-10", 150, small chested). I think I usually need a bigger size because of my hips, but you don't have to take that into account with this dress.  So if you are smaller chested, definitely size down!  Otherwise beautiful color and fun to wear.  Perfect for Derby Party!

This was the perfect dress for a wedding!

Wear sticky cups...can't wear a strapless bra

Very comfortable. I wore this for an 80s party and it was perfect. The pockets were great and overall fit worked well with my body.

I wore this to a Navy Dine Out and it was an absolute hit! I felt glamorous and got so many compliments - it was definitely a great conversation starter. Fit wise, I was between sizes. The 4 was a little tight and the 6 was a little big but I ended up wearing the 6 as it was more flattering. 

I had rented this dress for a wedding. The skirt is a bit much - I was worried it made me look huge when I first put it on but ended up happy with it overall. 

Amazing Kate Spade, classic fit, awesome color. Just love it. 

Perfect pop of pink for outdoor summer wedding! Loved this dress SO much that I bought it in white from Kate Spade to leave my own wedding in :) 

I love this dress! The color is bright and fun and the cut is cute and flattering. The back is cut open with a big bow. I loved it so much I actually bought it:) 

I am always unsure about which dress size I am – I bounce between a 6, 8 and 10. This dress hit right at the thinnest part of my waistline, and I was able to wear a size 6 VERY comfortably. The thick fabric, and my small-ish bust size (36B) allowed for no-bra.  I was really worried the big skirt would make me look bigger than I was; but it's tailored beautifully and makes a very flattering statement! It hit right above the knees (I'm 5'6''), which made it very chic. The bow added a bit of fun to a very conservative front-side. I never wanted to return this dress. Got so many compliments throughout the night!

This was THE perfect rental - so unique (with the bow on the back) and elegant. Very comfortable. Was complimented from the moment I entered the event. This is TTS - per reviews I sized up from my normal 6 and wore an 8, but I should have had the 6. It is a forgiving dress though so you can't go wrong. Don't hesitate - rent this for your next special formal occasion! 

I loved this dress and it is definitely one I wish I owned instead of rented. I wore it for my wedding rehearsal. I received so many compliments!!! The back is a showstopper, and the dress is a nice fit, not too tight and not too loose. I also liked the length, it wasn't too short, and went well with heels.
