I never add a belt but this fit was way too big. And yet somehow the neckline still feels suffocating, constantly pulled it down.

I like the colors and the pattern but the truth is that it just doesn’t fit right. The model looks like it cinches around the waist but mine had no elasticity in that region. The sleeves are an awkward length, and the ruffle on the bottom makes it an awkward length. Maybe if I was taller!  

I just clipped it back for work. Wore it loose for church. Loved the color.

This dress is so flattering, but runs big. It’s flowy in the the perfect way. 

cute dress but i feel like this was size 12 or 14. and in an 8.   so i never got to wear it 

I really like this dress for work! The length hit the knee and the front wasn’t low cut at all, so very appropriate for work. The pattern is really pretty too and the overall cut is flattering. My only gripe is that the back of the dress above the waist is stretchy almost like the crinkle material of the early 2000s shirts. It was oversized on me even in a TTS. I will rent this again in a smaller size, but overall would highly recommend for a cute work dress,

This is one of my favorite dresses. Fit perfect and beautiful colors. 

Dress was fun to wear. Wore to a friend's birthday party. I wore it with thick black tights and boots since the weather was somewhat cool.  

This only ran slightly big, so I was able to belt it and still wear it with no issues. Very pretty in person. 

Super conservative but classy and easy to wear!

A lot of compliments - hit a little longer than I like being short but pretty details. 

This was a fun dress to wear. It was a little loose but comfortable. I don’t think I’ll rent it again because the print was just a bit too much on my small frame. 

Pictures don’t do it justice. Gorgeous print and light weight fabric makes this dress fun to wear. 

Wasn't blown away. The print had a bit going on and the shape wasn't overly flattering

Maybe a tad on the short side for work but felt like it worked with tall boots. 

This dress is so cute… except for the ugly ruffle down each sleeve. They feel so awkward and out of place. Fit great otherwise, really nice fabric. I’ll still wear it to my work event but generally disappointed. 

Easy to wear and dress up or down. I wore it to work with sneakers. Great colors, love the details in the cut and on the sleeves 

Add a belt to accentuate your curves. Very pretty & comfortable dress. Great for hot weather.

Love the ruffles down the side. Easy to wear! 

True to size. Wish the cute shoulder detail was as obvious in person as it is in the listing. Wasn't my favorite rental ever, but needed a purple dress and this did the trick. 

The fit was ok. It was a little too loose in shoulders but ok elsewhere. The material is thin but not see through and silky. Did receive compliments on it!

I wore shorts underneath because the fabric is super light & blows around easily. 

Loved the pattern, fit and length. It has an elastic waistband which is perfect. I only wished it had pockets 

Fabric didn’t lie well on me and top was so oversized. Sent back 

This is a very cute and fun dress. Fit well. Could be belted, but I went without. Lots of compliments.

I didn’t realize that the back panel of this dress (where the zipper is) was so stretchy! Definitely size down. The length hit’s mid thigh and is an A-line type silhouette. It slightly bulges out because it is a bit big but overall, cute dress. Would definitely be cuter if it fit correctly! 

This dress fit great and was easy to wear. Small ruffle detail on sleeves is cute and not too much. I wore to work twice. Would rent again. 

Light and airy. Hard to see ruffled details on the sleeves with the print. 

Loved this dress, fit perfectly. It was the perfect length as well. The pattern was perfect for Spring 

Cute back detail with nice stitching; cute ruffles. It ran a little big, I should have sized down. Overall good for a work event.

The dress is less form fitting than you would expect, due to the elastic scrunch backing. But the material is super lightweight and feels great on. Really like the style and flow. 

I needed to size down to a 4/XS. Solid work dress that could be all season approved. 

Top- 2/4 waist- 28/29 Bottoms- 8

Lightweight and comfortable - I wore this once to church and once to meet a colleague for lunch. I felt like it might be a little to “cute” for my personality (and 51-year old self).

I wore a size 6, but wish I had sizes down to a size 4. The dress is stretchable in the back across the top and the waistline is a little boxy…so the fit seemed frumpy. I added the elastic belt, which made the dress work much better.

This dress was perfect for the work event I attended - I received multiple compliments.  The fit is a little strange because of the pattern, but it was very comfortable and appropriate for the event! 

I should have known, Kate Spade never fits me. Like all Kate Spades I have ever tried, this dress is not cut for large chests!! My “girls” made the waist of the dress sit right under my boobs which made the back of the dress scrunch up. Sadly unflattering. I didn’t wear it. Probably beautiful on a flatter chest. 

I wanted to love this dress. It was fine, I still wore it, but the material is thin and unstructured. I think if it was lined or a bit heavier it could be more flattering. 

Overall, it was still a fun dress, it just didn’t feel very high end.
