Enjoyed wearing this! It's super well made and comfortable because there is tons of elastic ruching on the back. 

This dress was the perfect length and fit for work. Super easy to wear!

I fell in love at first sight and knowing Kate Spade, I knew it would fit perfectly. It was a cute Vday date dress, heels for church, and I pair with my white Nike sneakers too for out and about/ hanging out. I absolutely LOVE this dress! It’s a little silky and feels nicer than a cotton sundress. Great quality of course. 
Highly recommend! 

Likely fits a range of body types. If larger in the breast I would size up, but know that the buttons will not gape because it is actually sewn shut. 

I chose to add my own belt to this to give me more of a waist. Great material, true 8.

I rented this dress to wear to work. I loved it so much I wore it like 4 times in 2 weeks. I will probably buy it honestly. It was a little baggy because it has an elastic component to the waist, but I kind of liked it loose fitting. Highly recommend!

This dress is ridiculously comfortable because of the shirring on the back. I paired with a wide black belt to make it a little more sophisticated; it felt cute and more casual without. Beautiful pattern and so versatile -- wore to a baby shower, church and a work conference. Wish I could buy but the price is not quite right for me.

I wore this to work. It looked great with a belt. Effortless style with this dress. 

The stretchy back makes this dress so comfy! Could dress up or down. Fabric would work for most weather. Loved it!

Very cute, comfortable, flattering and great quality. Loved it.

Comfortable and cute! I'd recommend a belt.

LOVED this for an indoor-outdoor work day and got so many compliments. Pockets are clutch and the arms weren't too tight (a problem I often have with shirt dresses). Only con is the bottom was slightly wrinkly after travel but I'm sure you could deal with that I just didn't have time to 

Nothing super special about it but it was great for a day of sitting in a classroom all day. Comfy, lightweight. I'm a 25 waist and the 0 was too big but belting it was cute!

Material is stretchy and there is a ruched/stretchy bit across the back, so it is forgiving. I am usually a 2 in Kate Spade and that's what I took in this dress. Very comfortable. Midi length on me at 5'2". 

I have been on a weight loss journey and am using RTR until I am in a stable size! This dress was a major win as I have always loved Kate Spade and was finally able to wear it! Got many compliments. 

This dress was incredible! Perfect in every way. It definitely rode up a little and needed to be adjusted throughout the day. It can be accessorized in many different ways to be dressed up or down! Definitely recommend!

This dress is the perfect fit! I'm a size 8 for reference. Love the silhouette and the length. 

This is a nice dress that works for work, but I didn't feel was quite as nice as other pieces I've rented. I did like that it had generously sized pockets that didn't stick out at the hips. The smocked back makes it fit a lot of sizes well, but my large chest was emphasized a bit too much in it. So much so that I felt compelled to wear a black cardigan over it to cover up a bit. Not sure if a larger size would have helped, but I think I'd try that if I rented again. 

I loved the style of the dress. The cut and fit were great. But the print was just OK. It didn't feel special.

I thought this dress was the same style as another Kate Spade I had rented and loved but this one was different. I liked the pockets but it did kind of make my mid-section look rounder. 

Fine for work but not particularly exciting. High quality and comfortable. 

Super cute got lots of compliments! Without the belt I felt a little drab but once my waist line was back it was adorable. Easy to accessorize for winter or warm weather. Will rent again!

Loved the long length (at least long on me!), perfect with booties. And loved the sleeve length- very flattering & great for work. 

Wore this to work 3 times! It's the most comfortable dress and is a great length. Has pockets which is a plus! Will rent this again for sure. 

I always love the shapes of KS dresses. Probably could have done a 4 but I felt great in this. Almost bought it! 

I got so many compliments. I am not used to having a button front clothing item fit so well. I typically wear a 14 but the 16 in this dress fit like a glove.

Loved this dress. There's absolutely no gaping at the chest and the elastic on the back makes for a nice fit. 

Great dress. Easy to transition from work to hanging out in a more casual setting. Tea length when you're 5'5"

Loved how easy this dress was to wear. Ultra flattering and forgiving. 

One of my faves. Just so comfy and stylish. Loved the length and the cute, colorful heart pattern. So comfortable and the mock buttons meant no gaping or bra reveal. Winner!

Will definitely rent this one again! A great dress for work (and travel after)- didn't wrinkle, great length, and very comfortable. Buttons are mostly faux so none of that awkward gaping in the chest. Love it! 

In between sizes right now but the 12 fit perfectly. A little loose but comfortable. So many compliments. Would definitely wear again.

I loved this dress. It was a casual fit and hit just a bit longer than a regular midi on me but still looked great. There's fabric behind the buttons making it perfect for chesty girls and the pockets are the perfect size. If you're in between sizes I would suggest sizing down. I was able to rock a 14 but would likely get a 12 next time for a more snug fit. 

Rented it to try it. This dress didn't give me the 'oomph' factor that I was looking for-I looked like a sad woman in a photo from the Great Depression. Also made me look chunky in the middle.

Dress length hit at mid-calf for me

Pretty print and length but the waist on me was both high and big. Looked better with a black belt to hide it

I am long waisted and this hit me mid rib cage and wasn't a favorite because if that. Otherwise decent material and comfortable 

Great shape, quality and print. Really flattering at the waist and an easy length to wear for work.

Nice swingy shape to the bottom part and the smocking is flattering in the back. Great for work 

I know so many of the reviews for this dress are glowing but this dress just didn't do it for me. The entire back is stretchy material, but I think that's what caused it to be boxy and unflattering. If I rented this again, I'd probably go a size down. The dress was very comfortable and it didn't wrinkle easily, so that was a plus. Overall this dress kind of just looked/felt like it could've come from Target, and with so many amazing dresses on RTR this is one I wish I skipped. 

Comfortable dress with a very pretty pattern. The waist is stretchy elastic. Wish it was a bit shorter, but otherwise very nice! Size 6 fit perfectly, smaller would've been too tight on my chest.
