Pretty but odd material
It fit like a crop top and the material was polyester, which felt a little like jacket-shiny. It’s a pretty print and fit in the arms, shoulders, and neck.

My favorite coat EVER.
It’s perfect in every way. I love this designer anyway but this coat got me through the below zero temps in New York for Christmas. Stylish, practical, and comfortable.

Pretty but too small :(
I typically wear a size 10 or 12 but I couldn't zip it up. This size fits closer to a 6 than an 8/10.

Looks like a sack
It gave me such a strange shape, hugged me at the knees making it difficult to walk.

Couldn't even pull it over my head :(
The rest of the dress was so tight I could barely put my hands through. When it arrived it look more like a tunic than a dress. when I eventually got it on, it was so short that I could still see my underwear. I'm only 55 so I can't imagine how this would work on someone who's taller.

I loved the print, but it was too short.
This dress was made with beautiful fabric and was definitely cute, but it fans out at the bottom and was too short to wear. I couldn't get it to zip up in the back so I had to return it. Consider sizing up with this one.

Nicely fitted even for warm weather weddings!
Everything that could have gone wrong with my initial order did (wrong address, dress I selected wasn't available in the right size, nothing worked in store) but RTR staff and stylists sent me this beautiful dress and it couldn't have worked out better. The day of the wedding was 105 degrees and with this beautifully fitted, interiorly lined dress I didn't need to wear a bra. I probably could have sized down one size (the 10 was way too big) but nevertheless it fit well and kept me cool. Perfect for a black tie optional wedding or formal event.

Very full skirt
It's beautifully made and gorgeous colors, but was a little too fancy for me to wear to work. The skirt is also much fuller than I originally thought.

Pretty color, too many zippers
There are zippers on both sleeves and the back. The 8 was a little loose fitting all around, and not very fitted around the waist. Doesn't do much for a pear-shaped figure.

Didn't wear it was too big
I have wide hips so I ordered the 10, but the 8 might've worked. Very heavy dress, not good if you're petite.

Cute, well-fitted sundress!
This dress was comfortable, sweet and had the perfect neckline for a date on a hot night. You can dress it up with heels or wear it with sneakers, but it looked fantastic.

Fancier than I expected
I rented this as part of Unlimited, but it's a lot fancier than I anticipated and didn't have an occasion to wear it. The slit also goes up higher than the images suggest, so it's not appropriate for work. The material and color were lovely. The fit on the lining is sewn into the dress so be careful when you put it on. Wish I had an occasion to wear it!

Surprisingly tight in the waist and bust
I've rented other Kate Spade dresses before but this was very tight in the waist and bust. Couldn't zip it up and had to return it. I'd say rent a size up if you can.

Comfy and stylish
These were fun to wear and complimented my shape. After reading reviews I picked the M size which was more fitted, but I complimented with a longer black top. I think I could have worn the L as well but the effect would've been a more billowy look.

The fit on this dress was super flattering for a pear shape and it has pockets! I don't normally wear prints but this was fun and chic, and I got lots of compliments.

Good for date night
This is a great dress, wonderful materials and a fun flare at the bottom. It fit well, but it needs to be dressed up a bit. I'd recommend renting alongside some fun jewelry or high heels to set the tone.

Color is gorgeous!
I love love love the color and shape, very flattering even if you have a little bit of tummy. I pulled this top off the rack at the NYC flagship store and it was a little big, but they were out of every other size so I took a chance. I ended up wearing it twice for a Saturday night out with friends and a Sunday day date with my bf. Compliments all around!

Lovely lace, tricky for hips
This dress is very chic, and the fabric was softer than I thought it would be. I got lots of compliments on the lace. However as someone with wide hips and a tiny waist, this dress was difficult to wear. It's very short, and all the additional material on the waist bunched up when I sat down. I think this dress is perfect for any event where you'll be mostly standing, or wearing with tights. If you have wider hips, size up.

Lovely silhouette but tight in shoulders
This dress was beautifully put together and will hang nicely on a pear shape. However the shoulders were slightly tight and raising my arms was a little difficult. I sit behind a desk for work, but if you're planning to wear for an event where you'll be more active I would recommend sizing up. Very flattering fit!

So many compliments!
I absolutely loved this dress! I took the advice of other reviewers and sized up a little bit. I have a smaller waist but wider hips so the 8 was perfect. I was able to wrap the "belt" around my waist twice, and it kept the dress from dropping out in the front. The pockets came in handy too. I received so many compliments at work, but I would definitely also recommend for a date or special occasion. Simply lovely.

Delicate, but form fitting
This dress was beautiful, it hung very nicely and accentuated my figure. However even with spanx, the dress revealed too much of my stomach in the front, so I decided not to wear it. It is absolutely gorgeous in person! The lace and embellishments were softer than I expected. All in all elegant and charming.

Perfect Easter Dress!
The flow and movement of the dress is very beautiful. It was a little low cut for a family backyard party, so I wore a little camisole underneath. But no one seemed to notice, and everyone loved the dress!

Very short
I love the style of the dress and the material was soft, but it was much shorter than I anticipated. The lining tends to ride up, so ladies with hips take caution and size up.

Didn't wear--too small
I wanted to wear this for brunch and I absolutely ADORE the designer, but unfortunately the dress did not fit with my bust size, even without a bra. It would have been lovely to wear though, had I ordered the right size. Perfect for a brunch or daytime party event for sure. Beautiful design and pattern.

Perfect for a celebratory night out!
I wore this dress to celebrate a friend's graduation from grad school--it was perfect for a family dinner and a night out. Pros: POCKETS. Color and silhouette were very flattering for my pear shape, really accentuated my tiny waist. Worn braless. Cons: The straps did fall down many times (did not wear fashion tape). Overall: Not fancy enough for a wedding, but perfect for a night out and/or a date. Beautifully made, lots of fun to wear.

Wrong size
For some reason this dress was incredibly large on me as a size 6, which is what I typically wear. Luckily I was able to exchange it for the Allison Parris Havana dress instead at the store. It's a really beautiful color, and I would've worn had it been the right size.

This dress was absolutely perfect for an outdoor spring wedding!
I loved wearing this dress so much, has a great twirl factor that's great for dancing. The only unusual thing was the sizing. I ended up wearing 2 sizes smaller than I usually wear (without a bra). The waist was tight as a result, but it was the only way to keep my chest comfortable.

I rented this for a girl's night out, but never got to wear it.
This dress is not for anyone with curves, it's very tight across the tummy area and I would've had to size up to a 8 (I usually wear a 6). Unfortunately they didn't have my size so I was able to return it for credit. However the dress is very beautiful and I would've loved to wear it had my size been available. SIZE UP with this one.

I rented this dress for Easter Sunday and it was really lovely!
Nice fit, very comfortable and the gold belt is a sweet touch. I would definitely rent it again! I rented both the sizes 4 and 6 but the 4 fit my waist much better.
