lightweight
nice and really fun, but fussy figuring out the buttons, and a bit too ridiculous for me to wear outside of home the fabric is a very lightweight poplin, like the lightest dress shirt you can imagine so would be good for summer despite the long sleeves

perfect
If you're a 3.1 Phillip Lim fan you don't need me to tell you anything. This item will be exactly what you expect. If you don't know the brand and are intrigued: take a chance. The little details, the menswear fabrics, the feminine twist with the inner layer, it's fabulous! Enough coverage for me to wear without a shirt underneath as pictured in the model photo (I'm a B cup and my bra isn't peeking out anywhere). But it also looks great with a crisp white button up. Highly recommend this piece! Highly recommended.

just starting to lose its shape, weird hand strap
Great color, lovely shape, easy to open/close even though it has the two zippers. I've always liked the aesthetic of MG bags and this one does not disappoint. The hand strap is a wee bit awkward this is why I gave one star off. The strap is not removable. The strap is only attached on one side of the bag; it hangs a bit lopsided when carried by the short strap. Strap length for hand and elbow carry, not intended for wearing on the shoulder. Highly recommended as long as you're ok with that strap.

size up
I'm usually a 28 and sometimes a 27 in denim. I sized up to a 29 and they fit perfectly. I have an hourglass figure with a very slim waist and the waist could be smaller, but I think for most hourglass and pear shapes this fit would be good. I would not recommend these for a column or inverted triangle shape. The flare is more of a bootcut from the 2008-2010 era except these have an exceptionally high waist compared to the mid rise you'd have found 10-14 years ago. They are long on me but since the leg opening isn't a dramatic flair they bunch up on top of my platform sneaker or boot. I have a 28" inseam and can wear these with 5" heels and still have another inch of length available, but they don't drag on the ground since, again, the leg opening isn't a bell bottom or exaggerated flair. They to relax a little with wearing, but they don't stretch out of shape. I'd rent these again.

poorly designed
I don't know who makes a cropped top with tight fitting cuffs and a batwing. You'll never be able move your arms! Also the zipper is on its last legs. Takes a lot of force to make it go up and down. Apart from that the top is very pretty and is true to size. Too bad they didn't test the cut. I didn't wear it.

conservative and cute
Kate Spade items are pretty conservative and this sweater is no exception. I love it! I'm also very conservative in terms of how tight and how much skin I show. I love the high neckline, it looks great with a brulee necklace to highlight the high neckline and intersect with the stripes. Note that the stripes are sparkly. Like speed boat sparkly.

for small busted gals only
I absolutely love this top. It is brilliant with the built in bra and the way the buttons are designed to either let it all hang out and show that bra, or just let it peek through. I lets me be dressed enough to go out to a casual dinner while feeling like I'm on vacation with a cover up over my bikini top. That's the vibe. This is the ultimate feel like you're on vacation even if you're not really on vacation top. You can obvs wear it on vacation too. The bra top is really small. I'm wearing this top in a 4 and I'm a 32 b and it juuuust fits. The band can probably go to a 34 but the cup can't hold more volume.

great color
I got this bag for the color and after using it daily I think the size is perfect. I have a few KS bags in the Margeaux style which I love. This style was a little harder to work with. The clasp wan't my favorite and I didn't like that the crossbody straps only connected to one side of the bag. That color though!!

easy fit, comfortable
I normally prefer a straight or wide leg trouser because I have short thick legs, but I got these for the color. They fit perfectly despite my shape. I wouldn't say they were flattering but they looked nice enough. I found the color a little tough to style and ended up pairing it with a soft red silk top and got compliments. I'd rent these again in cooler weather. I didn't get to wear them enough with the 95 degree weather, even though it is October.

Really enjoyed this bag. It looks great and the style is casual but polished. It's a little too small for me but close enough for me to keep it for a whole month and not get tired of it. Really loved the wide strap and I love a flap bag because it doesn't have to be zipped or fuss with hardware.

easy piece
Fit was true, loved the cropped length. I couldn't get the buttons to work so I wore it as a pullover - maybe it's meant to be that way. It was so easy to wear, I just put it with black jeans and a pendant necklace and got compliments all day long. Comfy like a sweatshirt but true to V. Beard it was also very feminine and the details were on point. The sleeves! The little red band at the hemlines. The puffy shoulders were really scaled back so it didn't make me look large or sloppy. Loved it! Will rent again.

beautiful bag
I really wished this bag worked for me. Very high quality. The color is outstanding and I love the gorgeous details. It is large enough to hold more than everything I need but it is unstructured and far too large to be a clutch. I could sort of slide my hand under the braid but then it was like the largest most awkward wrist corsage. It needs a top handle or a good shoulder strap. The only way I could carry it was like a football which did not feel elegant when my husband and I went out to dinner. It does technically have a detachable strap but it is very slim - it didn't seem like it belonged with that bag. Adjusting the length was awkward. This would be great for someone with much longer arms to wrap around and carry it. Like a football.

Very pretty
These are very pretty and eye catching without being large and over the top. Heavy enough to feel substantial and expensive yet light enough for all day wear. The gold is very yellow so if you prefer a lighter gold you should look elsewhere. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the bottom dangly star had a tendency to get stuck in the upper star and I had to keep taking the earring out to gently and safely unstick it. I would not recommend these for dancing but they are perfect for a photoshoot.

Fit on the top was off but I made it work
I have a long torso and this jumpsuit was plenty long, in fact a little too long so the crotch seam was a couple inches too low and the liner JUST fit since the waist area was down around my hips. But it was so nice to be able to wear a jumpsuit and I ran with it. The top hung a little low, there was no way to wear it without being x-rated so I put some really cute cropped tops over the top of the jumpsuit so it looked like I was wearing the most fabulous floaty culottes. With pockets I'd like to add. This worked with Amur, Saylor, and Rebecca Taylor cropped tops that I was either renting or already owned. Can't wait to rent again and try with some different tops. Lots of fun, highly recommend!

so feminine and wearable
Saloni never disappoints! This top is so beautiful and easy to wear. I wore it two ways - with the neckline open but cinched a little so it didn't go too low, and also with it tied closed. Both were great and got me compliments. Season-less fabric and timeless style. Investment piece. Thought about buying but decided to release her back to the wild for others to enjoy. Will definitely rent again.

Gosh this dress was so cute on but I have a very long torso and the bustline was too low for me. I couldn't do it. If you don't have a long torso: go for it. The colors are fabulous and the cut is really flattering.

I couldn't figure it out
I couldn't figure out how to make this look nice so I returned it without wearing. Then I saw later that someone had rolled it up to tie the drape up higher to be more flattering. I didn't try that and now I wish I did! I will rent again. The fabric is absolutely beautiful and it is a very well constructed garment. It's a pleasure to get items of this level of quality.

Great color, cool style. I like that it takes prairie and then levels it up past brunch and into wine tasting. Really tight in the arms and shoulders, but plenty big in the waist and hips. The arms were too tight for me to feel comfortable so I didn't end up wearing it.

I'm not sure what about the fit was off but it was off enough that I didn't want to wear it. Great in the shoulders. Nice thick forgiving fabric. But the fabric rippled and rolled in the torso area and my torso is long and lean, it wasn't tight. I loved the feel of the fabric and the look in the shoulder area. Wanted it to work but it just didn't work for me.

I loved this top but I couldn't figure out how to wear it. It's shorter than I expected. I was sure it would be OK with high waisted pants, but if I moved my arms at all the top crept into underboob exposure territory. If you're OK with that: go for it. This is incredibly comfortable and timelessly stylish.

very very comfortable
I got this to wear on a sunny day in TX which probably sounds insane but hear me out. I burn very easily and it's much more comfortable for me to cover up than to slather on the sunscreen. The fabric in this dress and the wrap style kept me cool yet safe from the sun. The only downside was the skirt blew open at the slightest little waft of a breeze so I had to wear some shorts underneath. Otherwise it was great and I would rent this again.

This is a really comfortable top in a soft rayon like fabric. The sleeve detail is fantastic and leveled the top up a couple notches in terms of style. I did struggle pairing it with other items. It isn't quite black and it isn't quite blue so I had to be a bit more open minded. I'd have kept this wonderful top but it wrinkles too easily for my lifestyle.

It's boxy and short which normally doesn't work on my hourglass figure. But the sleeve and shoulder detail balanced all that out and made this totally wearable. I wore it with jeans, a pleated skirt, jeans again, a jeans skirt, and black leggings, and then I bought it.
