I loved this dress. It fit perfect and it was perfect for the summer! It was definitely a classic look, which I love.

Runs a bit big. Comfortable and cute dress. 

It has a hole near the side seam and I haven't worn it yet. 

I ordered this for my recent trip to Singapore because I wanted something that would be breezy and easy to throw on with sneakers. I was so excited about it, I wore it on the first day! The fit was TTS but flowy, perfect for walking around in warm, humid weather. It was easy to dress up for dinner as well. I loved it so much, I'm considering buying it!

My only qualm was that the small ruffles down the front needed to be ironed. They came smooshed down in different directions. Maybe not the most put together look for the office.

This dress was great for being 14 weeks postpartum and not back to my original size. It was very comfortable easy to layer and wore well.

LOVE this dress! So comfortable and looks amazing. Very easy to dress up or dress down. Very true to size, I'm 5'7, 130lbs and a small was perfect! 

This was the perfect dress for law school classes and to go on an adventure in the city! 

This is the perfect tailored t-shirt dress from Kate Spade! I got it for work and everyday wear. I am tall so I usually wear a medium or small, but ordered the small and it fit perfectly. It was big in the waist and fit perfectly on the chest area. I received so many compliments and wore the dress a couple times before returning-- and it held its bright and tailored look. I wish I owned this dress... such a great rental!

I am always nervous about clothes because I am 5' 9" and 34 DDD but absolutely loved this dress and so easy to wear. Dress it down or dress it up. Easy to wear to Sunday brunch, summer date or to even to work. Very cute. 

I liked this dress a lot! It runs a little bit big but I'm glad I got the small because it can be a little short on curvy people. Overall, I felt great wearing this. 

I wore this outfit for a baby shower. It was super comfortable and true to size. 

Wore this to church and brunch on a Sunday and really liked it.  Casual but still really cute.  I think it runs just a little large, I probably could've done an XS.  

Rented this with my unlimited subscription. Fit was true to size and the belt helped define the waist area.  It was a little short but since I am 5'9 that's a problem I encounter often! Over all  a cute dress that I wore on errands and to church

Super cute dress. Fit great. Love the color and style. I got sooooo many compliments. Perfect for a summer day at work to be casual but still feel pulled together. 

Loved this fun summer dress ! Great material and perfect for busty ladies 

I don't think this dress photographs well, but I did love it on. It was comfortable, light, and I wasn't at all concerned about the length (I'm 5'7.) I could have done a much better job of ironing it, and for a long day, I'd put some double sided tape in between the buttons at the chest. I loved it so much that I ended up buying it directly from Kate Spade!

This dress is adorable! It's comfortable and light-weight, with girly details (those ruffles!) and a fit that made me feel stylish and ladylike. Classic and cute! 

Ordered this to wear during the day. Perfect for the spring/summer-the fabric is lightweight and comfortable. I'm normally an 8 and ordered this in a M and it fit perfectly. Would definitely rent again!

This cotton dress was perfect for the baby shower I recently attended. I really liked how the waistline is loose but you gather it in with the belt for a custom fit. Some have said the top was too tight but I did not notice that problem. However, I wore a white cami underneath and left the top few buttons undone. FYI: I recently saw this same dress on sale for around $200 at a Kate Spade store.

Boxy in the waist but the belt saves your shape! It is unlined, but not sheer at all. The tiny white crochet trim down the front is see-through but it's so tiny you can get away with a regular nude bra. I'm long-waisted and the belt is sewn on on one side so it sat about an inch too high for me. Not a deal breaker, just could've been even better. Also the belt has a label sewn on one end but if you get the bow just right, it will lay flat and won't show. Perfect for work and a dinner party I went to! I got a small so the length would feel more comfortable on me. I think it hit just right!

I loved everything about this dress, the fit especially! I received so many compliments and am still getting messages asking where I got it from. If I could buy this dress to keep in my closet I would, it was extremely hard to mail it back!!

Can't say enough good things about this dress! Fit great and got SOOO many compliments! I wore to a family Fourth of July party, and wearing it made me feel pretty :)

So comfy!  Easy to wear in hot weather.  Runs big in the bust (I'm small up top) but really nice for a hot day.

Very easy fitting dress. Love the shirt dress style. Very comfortable and feminine. 

#Sweeps It's casual dress that I can wear to work. Super cute!

 This is the perfect daytime dress!  My usual dress size is a small and I am wearing a small in the photo so the dress does fit true to size.  The dress is fitted in my mid-section and waist.  There is a tie around the waist so the fit of the waist is adjustable.  It is not fitted in the hips.  I do recommend going a size up for a backup size.  This dress is great for any cup size.  I am a 36D and I had plenty of room.  This dress can be worn with a standard bra.  I am 5’9” and the dress was mid-thigh length on me.  This dress would be perfect  for a casual date or to wear to work.  Pair with nude or navy flats.  

Its a very comfortable dress.  Runs true to size and I would recomend for a brunch or any summer event.

Casual, super light weight. Not too short for work. This is a great dress. Wore it to work and then a rehearsal dinner for a country wedding that same evening. It's very cute and girly. Made me feel young. Runs a bit large.

Such a cute dress! Received lots of compliments. Runs big so size down- the belt helps though! 

Loved this rental! Fit very comfortably in the chest, arms and waist, and I was able to wear it from day to night. 

So excited this made it in time for Easter! This dress definitely runs on the large side. I debated ordering the small and I'm glad it didn't because it would have been way too big. It is not fitted; the tie is what gives it shape. You could wear it just as a drop waste shift if you wanted. Roomy enough for a baby bump if that's what you're looking for. So cute! I'll definitely wear this a few times before I return it. 

Wore this on the plane and then all day. Loved it, runs large and is shapeless, but still think it's a very cute dress. 

The striped pattern and fabric are perfect for a warm day! It was a little big on my 5'2 frame, but paired with some converse I felt really cute. The belt is SUPER LONG, so you'll end up with a giant bow. The seam/ change in fabric also falls in a weird location, around the top of the hips, well below the waist region, even though the waist is in fact where the belt loops are. So with the belt tied around the waist, it almost looked like a mistake or that the dress was too big? 

Regardless it was a really cute dress, but Kate spade clothing tends to run big, so probably not going to rent again! 

This dress would be so much cuter if the waist was not a drop waist. It has a belt to make it more flattering, but then it kind of looks off... Like why would the seam and bottom half of the dress not start where you put the belt. I knew this going into the rental, so I am not disappointed. But I think the dress could be so much more if it was like this. The overall dress is cute and preppy, perfect for a casual work environment. 

I got so many compliments while wearing this dress! It's a little large in the waist but a smaller size would've been too tight in the bust. It's really comfortable for hot summer days!


This dress was perfect for summer vacation in Portugal. The breezy cotton and loose fit was just right in 100 degree sun! I normally have trouble with button downs due to a large chest (36FF) but was able to wear this dress with a minimizer bra to avoid gaps. My only complaint is that the dress arrived with light stains on the collar.

When I first put this dress on I wasn't too sure however it definitely grew on me! I was 7 weeks post partum for Mother's day and needed a dress for brunch. It is perfect for a breastfeeding friendly dress that is both flattering and cute!! 

Size Large was a bit too small in the chest area as I am a 38DD, so I opted for the Size XL. The XL was large around the waist area, but the top area was very comfy and roomy. No need to wear a slip or anything similar because the dress is not see through (one of my concerns). The belt looked funny when I put it on, so I decided to not wear it. Overall I got lots of compliments on how cute the dress was.  Great to wear for a casual occasion such as a graduation or day party. 

I know a shirt dress is supposed to fit a little looser, but I normally wear a 10 and the LG was a little bigger than I would have liked. I would size down. This dress is perfect for a weekend brunch or work if you have a business casual dress code. I actually wore it to a Saturday night dinner with stacked ankle booties to make it dressier, and it was really cute!

I rented this to wear to church and really enjoyed the style and comfort of this dress while being appropriate enough to wear to a church service. I rented a Small and it felt a tad (just a tad) too large in the waist (you'll need to tie the belt to cinch this ) but I think if I had gone with XS it might have been too tight across the shoulders. I wish I owned a better belt to pair with this because the tie came in wrinkled and folded (I didn't have time to iron).  The dress wrinkled slightly from sitting during church service but nothing crazy (photo was taken after service). Buttons all stayed buttoned and the length was super perfect. This is a great dress for a spring or summer day. I paired this with cork wedges and gold accessories. There was nothing wrong with the dress but I feel like my body looked a little boxy and larger in this than normal. 

This dress is so cute! I've been wanting to rent this dress since I first saw it because it's so adorable. I really wanted to love this dress and tried my best with it, but I hated the belt! It drove me nuts! It may have been better if it was ironed instead of being so twisted and folded, I'm not sure. It may have been intended for someone with a shorter torso than mine, because it fell at a really odd spot on me- right above the edge of my ribs- and I just couldn't get it to lay in a comfortable way. I couldn't really adjust it much because the belt was sown onto the side of the dress. It fit a little better when I tied it on the side, instead of in the front like on the model. I would have rated this dress higher if it wasn't for the belt. 
The dress was larger than I expected. I rented the XS and S, but didn't even try on the S since the XS was quite large. It's not a tight fit like in my picture. One of my friends discreetly pinned the material in the back to make the fit a little tighter. Because of it being a drop waist and having a belt, It looked better on me when it was pinned tighter. To be honest, it would have looked better without the belt. Unfortunately, it's sown onto the side of the dress, so going without it isn't an option.
I liked the dress, the design was lovely, that fabric was really nice and very comfortable to wear on a hot day, and I got several compliments on it. I'm happy I rented it for my birthday party, but I probably wouldn't rent it again. 

Great lightweight fabric and can be worn many different ways. Adorable dress for work or everyday. Fits true to size and is complimentary to all body shapes. Would definitely rent again. 

I would love to buy this dress. It's wonderful. There is a bit of stretch in the fabric. At first, I thought it would be a little tight in the shoulders. The fabric gives so it was comfortable and a perfect fit. It appears shorter in my photo only due to the angle.  The younger gals at the restaurant we went to all loved it. The only thing I did not like is the sash / belt it's very thin. There are details on the dress you cannot see in any of the photos. This is a great one!

I wore this beautiful dress to a golf outing at a prestigious country club as an appearance with my husband. I love golfing in dresses because it gives you that polished look with out being stuffed into too hot shorts (the shoes are hot enough)  I am normally a medium, but per recommendations, I sized down to a small and it still fit very loose. I tied the bow around the back of the dress because I did not like how the dropped hem looked with the bow in the front. I have a pretty big bottom and hips, but this dress did a great job of dressing them up. I also stayed cool in this material for eight hours on the course!

This dress runs large. Period. 

I ordered the small as the XS was not available and I was swimming in it - even when I cinched the waist tightly with the sash

Oddly enough, my dress came with two sashes. I wound up using them both to create a larger bow.

I paired this with the Kate Spade necklace that's also available and got way more compliments on the necklace.

The dress itself is pretty simple. Length is as featured, based on the inevitable height difference between me and the model (I am 5'3"). 

It's sweet, but again... SIZE DOWN.
