Fun and versatile
I actually wore this 3 times. Once belted with a jacket at work, once out with white skinny jeans and heels, and once super casual with flat sandals and jorts. It's very loose fitting, probably better on smaller chests. You can definitely belt it to give more shape though. Almost bought this.

Great dress for vacation
I rented this for a vacation involving lots of eating and boating. It is sooo comfortable and the fabric feels very expensive. Runs huge. I'm normally a 14, wore the 12, and could have worn the 10. Not very flattering on a pear shape but I still loved wearing it.

Second time renting this beautiful top
Really versatile, you can dress it up or down. The color is so vibrant. Yes, it runs huge, but it's supposed to and it looks great fitting loosely. I'm a size 14 and could easily wear a medium or large.

Nice dress with a great back
Basic from the front, but great back. Perfect for casual summer weekend activities. Fits true to size. I chose to not wear a bra with it, probably easiest if you're smaller chested. Biggest complaint - I live alone and had a hard time tying it myself.

Ok shirt with a great color
This was a good shirt, but not particularly special. I did get tons of comments on the color though, which is perfect for summer. Fit was fine, I think it would work on most body types. Hard to wear a normal bra though, I went with the stick on kind personally.

Great fit and print
Loved it, wish I could keep it. This one runs large, but it doesn't matter with this cut. I could have worn the 12 but the 14 looked great (I'm much smaller on top than bottom). Ordered it to wear to a shower but will keep it for work also.

Beautiful drape and color, but too short on me
This one just wasn't for me. It was awkwardly short, especially in the back (I'm kinda tall though). I wish it would have fit better because the fabric was gorgeous and it draped beautifully. I would recommend it for more petite ladies. You'll need some double sided tape to keep it in place since the fabric is very light weight.

Fun summer dress
Cute dress, lightweight and great for hot summer days. Fit was a bit off on me, but was able to make it work. The drop waist makes it not the best for pear shapes.

Transitions well from work to happy hour
I loved this dress. Work appropriate and classy with a fun print. Gives you a nice shape, which was unexpected given the boxy appearance. I would have kept it longer, but it's too heavy for the 90 degree weather in Chicago. Will definitely rent again when it cools down.

So comfortable - I bought it
The material feels so nice on, and the mesh edges give it a little something extra. Not the best for summer, but I ended up buying it anyway because it's so versatile the rest of the year. Definitely runs large, but the oversized look works.

Very fun, well made dress
I absolutely love this dress. Fits true to size and in line with other Kate Spade items I've worn. Thicker material, feels very high quality. Wore it twice - once to brunch and again all day while traveling. My only complaint is the length... at 5'8" I wasn't comfortable wearing it to work. A couple inches longer and I would have bought this.

Subtle sparkle - so many complements
I wore this to a rehearsal dinner and it was stunning. I was afraid it might be too sparkly and attention grabbing, but the sequins were more of a subtle shine. Fits true to size, I went a size up just in case, and it was fine since this is a shift shape and not supposed to be tight.

Super cute, but too short for me.
Love the print and fabric, but this just didn't work on me. My butt is definitely my largest body part, and it rode up too high in the back. This made it inappropriately short for the event I wanted to wear it to. Lots of room in the chest and stomach. Too bad, because it was super cute from the front.

Great dress for work and after work
Definitely loose fitting, but still very flattering. I work in a pretty conservative setting, and wore to work with jacket which I later took off for happy hour. This one will get a second wear to brunch before I send it back.

Great blazer for fall or winter
Fit was a boxy and a bit short, so I paired it with a long snug fitting tank and skinny jeans. I didn't find it to be itchy like other reviewers. Sending back after one wear because it's reallllly not for late spring/summer. The material is just too heavy. Would rent again in fall.
