All About the Leg
This dress is gorgeous. Only really fitted part is the waist. I have a 28" waist and the medium was slightly snug on me- but it was wearable. The slight definitely ran all the way up to my hip and he prepared to grab the skirt if a wind picks up while you're walking! The color was stunning. The material is lighter than it looks; beautiful silk jacquard.

Gorgeous color
Tight in the hip for me, but most things are due to an oversized rear end. Gorgeous dress though.. I'd probably have sized up and relied on the draped nature of the top to ensure it didn't look too large on me. bust 36" waist 27" hip 39"

Did not wear.
Looked nothing like the photo and was surprisingly heavy. One color overall and pretty blah.

Sexy!
Love the love cut front. Enough structure to hold my giant girls in place and room for generous hips and thighs. Hubs loved it.

Chic and classy- fit like a glove
Loved this. So flattering and chic. Fabric is crepe, which I had not noticed in the description. It is prettier in real life than in the photos. It will hug you- fit like a glove.

Bridal shower dress
Kate Spade dresses tend to run a little small. I am usually a solid size 6 and have needed an 8 both times in her designs. This dress is beautiful. Feels like a stiff linen, is cool and comfortable. Loved it and extremely flattering on my hourglass figure.

Gorgeous- not for hot weather
WAS slightly snugger than expected thru hips and thighs. Is fully lined and heavy crepe fabric. Other reviews said was cool and comfy, but i was at a wedding in south carolina and sweating my booty off. I embraced the cleavage, but if you are self conscious be prepared to make some arrangements.

Wrinkles after sitting but what a great pattern and colors
Was fairly tight thru the hips and wore spanks to make it work. Really wrinkles if you sit, say for dinner, as you can see in the photo. Wore this for a Nashville bachelorette. Overall I would wear this again.

Great fit, super low cut.
Fit was great but since the wedding was in a church ended up wearing the lace bra underneath to make the neck line more appropriate as without the lace bra my sternum was visible. Over all loved loved the dress, and the fabric is awesome.

Awesome color
Was tight in the torso (36-27.5-38) but that was good- it held my boobs in place since i couldnt wear a bra. Thick lining- it was HOT. There was a little metal v right in the bust that was clearly supposed to be there to give it structure. But it was detached and hanging off one side. The 8 didnt have it there at all... They must have done what i wound up doing which was removing it all together after we tried and failed to tack it back into place. Didnt affect the dress too much, but those are the little details that make the designer gowns.

Bridal shower
Dress is gorgeous. Color really pops. Very goddess-y. Top chiffon skirt is very full and lays well. Lining is sheer- i could see my tattoo on my leg in certIn light. Need nude colored underwear. Didnt wear a bra but was slightly too long. I would've had it taken up slightly at shoulders to prevent the girls from escaping if i slouched. I am 36-27.5-38 and it fit my waist perfectly. 5'7" and wore flat sandals- the regular length skimmed the ground perfectly for my garden party.

Fabulous dress for a fabulous night.
Fit was perfect!!! I am fairly curvy with athletic shoulders so the way the top is cut is so perfect. Wore with some spanx to smooth everything out- and the complements on the dress did not stop the entire night.

So beautiful!
I received so many complements on the dress. The only con I had is that the fabric really has no give so I had a nice red mark from the band around the waist by the end of the night.

Pretty dress just didn't fit.
Ran really tight through the shoulders. I normally wear a 4 and the 6 was fairly tight and I couldn't even raise my arms up once in the dress.

Amazing gown- total show stopper.
Fabric is to die for. Dress ran true to size. I measure 38" bust, 29" waist, and 41" hips, so I'm in between a 10 and a 12. I wound up wearing the 12 and it was loose around the waist and even the bust a bit, but very snug on my hips, as expected. It is described as not fitted through the hips, but if you're blessed in the butt area, then err on the larger size. I'm 5'7", wore the long with 5 inch heels and it still touched the ground, so worked out perfectly.
