Way too small and short
Couldn't wear. It was too short and too tight. I'm 5'7 and 165 - the Large didn't fit. Couldn't wear either option.

Not a winner
I was excited to wear this dress for a more casual Friday at work based on the pictures. Unfortunately it looks like a trashbag on me.

Gorgeous Kate Spade shirt dress for Spring
This dress is beautiful in person! Unfortunately a touch too small for my rib cage and I couldn't wear it.

Chic shift dress for work
Fit comfortably and great for business meetings at work. Wore with black tights and flats, but would be cute without tights and heels.

Great for a bridal shower brunch
Wore for a friend's bridal shower brunch back in August. Beautiful colors and material. Unfortunately needed to size up to my backup due to the bust/chest seams feeling constricting. Received compliments from others!

This was a perfect dress to wear for a friend's baby shower at 14 weeks pregnant.
Good for first or second trimester. Loose enough to hide the bump if it's still "less of a baby bump, more of a burrito bump" stage. Great length with 3-4 in heels and you can really accessorize with it. Highly recommend!

Dress was very fitting for a black tie optional wedding at a mansion on the water.
Dress ended up being more tea length on me than I had expected at my height. I ended up wearing a strapless bra, pushing it down to not show, and using fashion tape for gaping. It was a beautiful dress, but I was extremely self conscious in it mostly due to my weight gain and feeling even larger with the cut.

Amazing dress for a wedding
This dress is stunning. Throw some spanx on and bright accessories and you are golden for a fabulous evening! I wore this to a friend's formal wedding in June with a bright orange clutch and orange dangled earrings. So many compliments! It was great for dancing without any discomfort.

Comfy and bright - perfect for a shower!
I love me an a-line dress! Unfortunately, with my wider rib cage my initial size 6 would not zip up. Thank God my husband was home and could zip up the 8 because it was impossible to do solo. This dress was perfect for matron of honor duties at my friend's bridal shower in August. Highly recommend with some high heels!

Beautiful colors for a Fall wedding
I wore this to a wedding in Connecticut in mid-September. The colors are perfect for a fall wedding. The cut was pretty flattering, but the neck/shoulder area was a bit tight and restrictive. I did not size up due to the more boxy structure of the mid to bottom of the dress. If I would have sized up it would have looked odd. Beautiful dress, but definitely order two sizes especially if you're planning on dancing at a wedding and being comfy.

Beautiful, classy dress for a formal affair
I searched long and hard for a classy, fun dress for my company's space themed holiday party. It was held at a fancy hotel in downtown Boston. I am new to the company and heard differet interpretations of the dress code. Due to this, I was searching for something not too formal, but not too cocktail-y. This Kate Spade dress was a perfect fit! The fit is extremely flattering and I love the bow and back detailing. Literally 10+ commented on the dress and even my fiance at the end of the night said something about how many people complimented the dress! Note - no bra needed. You will need some high shoes though to compliment the length of the dress.

Beautiful dress for a summer wedding
Beautiful dress for a summer wedding. I've come to the realization that ruching, however just does not flatter my curves and makes me look thicker. One note it to test out a few different bra options - I wore a strapless one, yet due to how low the key hole in the front was my bra was showing if I wasn't consciously yanking the dress up.

Beautiful, flatterind dress for a casual evening wedding
Dress is very form fitting, but flattering. I wore spanx underneath to be safe and keep everything smooth. This was for a September wedding outside of LA which was toasty, but the dress was nice and breathable plus perfect for dancing! I highly recommend it as this was one of my favorite RTR dresses to date.

Really pretty dress, turned out great in our engagement pictures.
As noted in other reviews, the cotton cloth underneath the tulle was SHORT. I ran to H&M the day of my pictures in order to get a cotton skirt to wear underneath it. It photographed well and I got a ton of compliments. I would definitely recommend sizing up to be safe.

Gorgeous and comfortable!
I rented this dress in 2011 for my sorority formal in April. I actually saw this dress in green at Lord and Taylor, tried it on, checked the price tag, and had to woefully put it back on the rack. However, this dress was on RTR and made my week! I already knew my size which saved me from any sizing issues when it arrive. I rocked this with nude heels and pearls. Everyone loved it and I highly recommend this!

All ended up well for senior formal!
I rented two different dresses in two sizes. The first dress was an absolute disaster and neither size fit because the dress ran small. This one ended up fitting well enough. It was tighter than I expected, but made it work. The only thing I wish was that it was a few inches shorter.

Runs SO SMALL.
I rented a 4 and 6, typically fit into a 4. The 6 was pint sized and there was no chance it was going to fit. The material doesn't have much stretch and there is a little bit of boning in it. Thankfully I rented another dress in two other sizes and one of them worked.
