The dress is lovely for a dressy casual night. Very full skirt & pockets (!). My issue was the bodice fit. I am far from large chested and not particularly conservative when it comes to skin, but the fit is tight and low. It made me fee very exposed all night. Also there seems to be too much dress in the back. As if for a hunchback. All in I felt like the dress belonged in baroque England - very Shakespeare in Love. 

Loved, loved, loved this dress!  I rented it for a derby party (see hat) and received tons of compliments.  I am a true pear-shape with little bust and big hips.  This dress gave me a fabulous bust and hid my hips!  How fun for me!  Loved the pocket and the pink matched my hat perfectly.  I would absolutely rent this dress again.  It was so flattering.

The dress fit true to size, however was a little tight across the chest.

Even though most guests wore the typical outdoor wedding dresses - maxi - I felt great in this vintage-y cute dress. The material is sturdy and the shaping holds you in - even if it also pushes "the girls" a bit high and they risk falling out...

Loved the colors and pattern and style. Would have preferred to wear high heels so the hemline was more flattering, but with an outdoor wedding on grass, I went for flats for practicality. 

As other reviewers have said, this isn't for a busty girl - both because it fits tight and it pushes 'em up and out. It took some consistent wrangling to keep them in line, but I didn't mind too much. 

Skirt was fun to dance in - stayed full-looking all night and twirled delightfully. Glad I got it!

This dress was amazing and I got so many compliments on it! I wore it for my 10 year high school reunion and I felt like beautiful in it! I have never gotten so many compliments on a dress before...I will say it is very low cut but it made my cleavage look great, it wasn't slutty looking at all. 

This dress has the prettiest neckline - love the square cut and the fun little sleeves. The skirt is full and long, but may overwhelm a smaller frame. The fabric has NO stretch whatsoever (and runs a bit smaller than a typical Kate Spade), so size up for backup.

The size (4) was great (my usual size), and the waist was a really flattering (and tight) cut. The pattern was cute too! 

The dress is perfect for a wedding but does run small in the chest and shows a lot of cleavage.

I wore this to my birthday dinner & drinks on Austin's infamous Rainey Street. I definitely stood out with this dress, and got lots and lots of compliments. I'd recommend not wearing it when it's too hot outside, as it's pretty thick and made me sweaty.

I wore this for an out of town wedding. This was my first rent the runway experience and it was fantastic. The dress is a very classic design, I would call it a "fit and flare", and I loved the fact that it had pockets. For me, I'm 5'7, 150
Lbs and I would normally wear 8-10. This dress fit in the waist in the 10, but I wear a DD bra, so I had to wear the 12 to accommodate the ladies (a curse). 

I absolutely suggest this dress for someone that enjoys classic design with a rock and roll edge. I paired it with the cleopatra necklace. 

I wore this for my birthday and it was such a great fit for girls with a curvy hour-glass.  The 6 fit perfectly, and I loved the pockets.  Watch what bra you wear, higher cuts will peak out.

True to other reviewers' comments, the dress is def tight in the middle. I have a pear shape so it worked perfectly with my size and the neckline was really chic - and unique. I love Kate Spade. She gets classic right every time. Loved this dress. 

Loved this dress and so did everyone else, the fitted top and flare skirt makes it look like you have a tiny waist line.

This dress was perfect for an evening master's program graduation in DC in May. A slightly heavy cotton in a fun pink animal print paired well with my black pumps and a black fitted sweater when it got too air conditioned inside. The pockets and exposed zipper combined with a slightly low neckline added the sporty chic I was going for. Feminine and easy and just dressy enough to go out for a celebration dinner in our capitol. I would rent this again for other events. Little issue: wear the right bra so it does not show at the edge of the neckline.

The material is so lovely. I dressed it up for dinner with spiky black heels but switched to flats so I could dance my butt off at the concert. I've noticed Kate's sizes vary. Sometimes I'm an 8, sometimes I can barely squeeze into a 12. This 12 ran small, but I still felt great! 

I needed something suitable for an informal outdoor wedding. This Kate Spade dress has a lovely fit and flare style that made my waist look slim without binding. The square neckline was a bit lower than expected so i had to wear my lowest cut bra to prevent anything from showing. But that solution worked well and i never felt uncomfortable or exposed. The bright colors on the black background made it easy to accessorize with my black shoes, wrap and purse. The dress traveled well and didn't wrinkle. As for sizing, i usually wear a 4 but the 2 fit best in this case. It fell to just a hint above the knee. And loved it had pockets, too!

I ordered the dress to host a baby shower because I thought it was a fun take on a 50's look.  I received many compliments!  The one thing I should mention is that it was a bit more low cut in the bust than I thought, and I'm a nursing mom, so that was an issue.  It fit snug through the ribcage on me.  If you're looking for a fun, flirty look, and don't mind a little cleavage, then this dress is perfect!

I felt the fit was tight around the rib cage, otherwise it fit well.  It made me feel fun flirty and sassy.  Great dress for a pear-shape.

I loved this dress and got so many compliments. Everyone loved the pattern which is leopard and not lips like some reviews said. Length was great which is always a concern as I am tall. Very flattering on a pear shaped figure.   I would highly recommend!

My dress size ranges from 6-12 depending on the designer and style.  I tried this dress on in the NYC showroom in a size 8.  It fit very small especially in the chest area but I did like the print and "stepford wife" feel of the dress.  The material is like a thicker taffeta and there is no give.  So I ordered it in a 10 and 12.  The 10 was still very tight in the chest but I was willing to deal with it, however the zipper in the back near my backside started to bunch up, so I wore the 12.  It ended up being a little looser around the waist, ribcage and back but it wasn't noticable at all.  I recieved a lot of compliments and the pockets were a nice addition.  This is a beautiful dress!

The top of the dress is on the small size, i wouldn't recommend this for someone with a large chest. The length was just below the knee, so it's perfect paired with tall heels. The pockets came in handy to carry my cellphone all night. This is the perfect dress! 

This was the perfect dress for my annual holiday party...perfect length, if a little tight in the ribcage and chest (and I usually wear a 10 in Kate Spade fit and flare dresses). I loved this one so much I'm tempted to buy it now that it's on sale at Kate Spade, but it's so unique I'd only be able to wear it about once a year for the next few years. But I'd definitely suggest this dress to anyone who is a pear...it is so flattering on. 

The print on this dress is too cute. The full skirt is ultra flattering and it even has pockets! The dress was a little big, but still fitted in the waist area - I would size down unless this is a problem area for you!
