I had to size up to fit my chest, but that meant the ruching at the middle sagged into folds and looked odd. 

The dress fit well, but i think due to the design (it belts in the back), there can be gapping between the buttons. Looked okay but I’m glad its a rental as i would not buy this. 

Yes it runs big and long. But still cute and fun to wear to work!  I'm 5'3 and a TRUE size 4 and this was loose-ish in the arms and back where I cinched the belt. But you know what it's great for a day that you're bloated lol. I think it would be good for any summer family event too. It's cool in the heat and I felt pulled together all day. 

Adorable and easy to wear with a cute belt.

Touching down front was quite flattering. Cute pattern. Just a solid work dress 

The looked cuter on the hanger. It's an odd fit. Kind of baggy, gaps at the buttons and hits at a strange hemline length. I didn't feel anything special today. It's conservative for work but maybe add a sweater in case you're large chested and the buttons gap. Not for going out after work. 

This dress was awkward with the bunched in middle and made me feel chunky rather than curvy. Probably not for shorter ladies but it was something different!

Very flattering and comfortable, fun print! 

Had some fun with this one! Fit was great 

Perfect fit. Flattering dress especially loved the gathering around the mid-section. Perfect for corporate setting. 

I should have done a 10 instead of a 12. But I loved the dress. Very bright, comfy and stylish. 

This dress accentuated my curves perfectly!  It made me feel slim. It's cinched right under the busy line and then comes out a little on the hips.  I wore it twice already! Thinking about buying it.  Lol 

Wore this to work. The way the dress gathers at the waist was very flattering. The colors are bright but beautiful and so much fun!! Will definitely rent again.  
I am 6 months postpartum, breastfeeding and still have some weight to lose, so my pre-pregnancy size 4 fit but was a little tight across the chest. Currently I'm between a 4 and 6 in most things. Loved this dress!

Easy to wear shirt dress with an adjustable back belt to let you cinch in more or less. Two eye hooks stop peekaboo gaps in the mid-section. On Zoom it looks like a fun top -- I got compliments!

It looks very matronly on. And the purple is a lot to take on. I was planning to wear to work but am not going to. Felt blah in it.

SUPER fun dress, that I imagine fits true to size. I ordered a 10 and was sent a 14, but I imagine this is how a 14 would fit. I was able to do some creative tuck and pinning and make it work. It's seriously cool, well constructed and one heck of a statement! Shirt girls, beware that it is definitely long. I wore 3" wedges and left the bottom button unbuttoned at 5'0. 

I was tempted to purchase this piece. The draping is so flattering & the material is lovely. It's perfect for work or play. 

This dress gives you shape and is really pretty. But the slit was a bit high and it didn't feel entirely comfortable. Also the buttons didn't lay flat and exposed the under. 

I work in a bookstore so this relaxed, cool vibe was perfect for me. My only complaint- I have a belly so I had to pin a little between the buttons around my belly button. I blame my apple shape. Overall love it and might rent again! Love Kate Spade!

Great dress! I loved the color and it wasn't too warm. I would flag the bottoms that fall around your belly. There are clips to tighten up but they were sorta falling off and would stay in place. I would rent this dress again.

This was a fun dress, a little different than my standard work fare but reliable Kate Spade quality. Great color/ pattern and an easy, comfortable, true-to-size fit. 

Runs a little big. Had rented 2 last time and should have gone with that again but the ruching and built in belt makes it still flattering 

Yes there is this bunching at the waist but I love this silhouette. It's super comfortable but also surprisingly flattering. Lots of compliments and people at work are noticing all the fun dresses I wear. I refer to RTR as my dress library. Still debating whether I should just buy this. I'm also tall so ladies who are shorter may find this dress  a bit less flattering. 

I've been regularly wearing a 12 lately but I think I could get away with this in a 10 next time. (And there WILL be a next time).  Great pattern. Flattering fit. Fabric is nice and it has little hooks-and-eyes between the buttons so you don't have to worry about gaping. You can adjust the cinch in the back for a better fit around the waist. 

Wore this to a work event.   Loved the print, makes an otherwise conservative dress unique and fun. 

Beautiful dress, great colors and amazing fit! Great little details like extra hooks to keep it from gaping open and a belt in the back to fit your waist. Very classic style that can be dressed up or down.

Fun lightweight print for summer.
Only downside is the top had a lot of extra fabric, I had to knock a star for that. Overall good rental. 

Very comfortable dress, perfect for work. 

I'm not entirely sure if I just don't know my size or if it runs large, but while the 4 fit, a 2 would have been better. I have large booty and thighs, and small waist. Dresses can sometimes be hard to fit: too big on top but too tight on the bottom. That wasn't a problem here. There's a belt in the back that can be tightened. I'm 5'4" and didn't mind the midi length. I've worn to work twice: once with heels and once with flats. 

It's a lightweight dress that's nice for the hot summer temperatures. Pretty pattern and I received a number of compliments. Comfortable for work and with all the pattern, no need for other accessorizing - just simple jewelry. 

Loved this dress for work! A brighter pattern than I normally wear but the colors are beautiful. Very comfortable and easy to wear! The 2R fit great with a little room to spare, could have possibly gone down in size if available but the 2 fit great!

I enjoyed wearing the dress. I think I could have gone a size down, but it was borderline. You can tighten the waistline using the belt buckle tassel in the back, but when I tightened it all the way the extra fabric from the buckle hung weirdly, so I safety pinned it in place. I'm 5'7" and I generally find I have a longer torso and this dress was almost too long in the torso for me. This dress would be great on a taller lady or long waisted folks like me that are slightly tall. I would not recommend for average or petite height ladies both because of the waist and overall length which was mid-calf on me. I wore this both with a navy blazer buttoned to the top for work and more casual for dinner with the top few buttons undone down to the bustline. I thought it was cute both ways. 

Maybe this dress would look better on a taller woman, but it just didn't work for me (I'm 5'4"), and I didn't wear it. My first thought on looking in the mirror was "Little House on the Prairie." My sister's comment was it made me look like a school-marm. The fabric is nice and light (definitely a summer dress). I did like that it had small hooks in between the buttons to keep it from gaping open; that's a nice design feature. There was too much fabric in the top of the dress, which bagged down unattractively above the waist.
