Didn't work for me - back zipper is super uncomfortable
This sweater didn't work for me. I thought it was a bit big and putting it on was definitely a two person job. While driving or sitting, the zipper constantly dug into my spine.

Best jeans ever!
I love these jeans so much! When I first took them out of the bag, I thought they looked too narrow but tried them on and they were perfect. Just the right amount of stretch to be flattering but they also held their shape for three wears! I don't want to send them back!

Love everything about this coat!
I seriously love everything about this coat - the inner layer is super soft and warm and the cut of the wool outer layer is wonderfully flattering - even with layers underneath. Make sure you have a lint roller handy though. The only downside is that it does pick up a good amount of lint. But so worth it!

Nice design, nice material but runs big
The material and cut of this dress are quite nice - and it has pockets, which is always a bonus! But it runs really large. I am a 10/12 in dresses so RTR recommended the large. I could gather at least an inch of material on either side of my waist. Would have been really flattering with a good fit though. Instead I had to thrown on a wrap and force it a bit.

Beautiful with pockets!
Beautiful dress that is very flattering. Runs a little big though so I would size down next time. Pockets are large and useful. It does wrinkle though which became noticeable about halfway through the day. Overall highly recommend though!

The waist is so flattering!
Super flattering flows material. The elastic waist hugs in the right places. Loved this dress! Only con is I sized down to the M based on fit guidance - it fit great but seemed a little short on my 5'6" body. The style is so great though - tons of compliments!
Dusk Buds Print Dress

Too big to be flattering
This dress ran too big to be at all flattering in the RTR recommended size. With no shape at the waist and exceptionally long sleeves, I looked like a kid playing dress up. Perhaps sizing down would help as it is a nice material. Sent back without wearing.

The colors are even more beautiful in person!
The colors of this dress are so vibrant and so beautiful! The fabric is really nice and flows really nicely as well. I struggled with how to tie it to look good and I wear a lot of wrap dresses. Great casual / boho vibe. Had to wear a tank underneath as there was no structure to the top and there was no way it was going to stay closed. Got some compliments but wouldn't necessarily rent again except maybe for a vacation beach wrap type of look

Great dress but came so wrinkled I couldn't get it to look right even after ironing
I have rented this dress before so know I like the style. Unfortunately came so wrinkled that I couldn't get the seams or belt to lay flat with a hotel iron. This style is really flattering though. I think the top runs a little small though. Size up and / or be prepared to wear a cami under it

Took a lot of modifications for me to love this dress....but then got a ton of compliments
First off, this material is fantastic. The dress itself seemed a little large and looked somewhat kimono like when I first put it on. I added a tank top (it's a little low cut), belt (the built in belt doesn't do a great job of giving your waist definition) and finally ticked the cuff of the sleeve back inside to give it more of a short sleeve winged look (arms were too long with the cuffs too big and flows, which just added too much volume). But then it looked great! If you are between sizes, size down. That could help too.

This dress is AMAZING - especially for this Parrothead!
This dress was perfect for a hot, hot day seeing Jimmy Buffett. It only touches you at the shoulder and waist. Making it very cool - and the fact that it is lined and still cool / fluttery was kind of a perfect combination. The fit was very flattering for my bottom heavy frame. If you are top heavy, this dress may be a struggle or you may need to size up as there isn't a lot of room in the bust area. TONS of compliments and I felt like a million bucks in this. Will definitely rent again.

Just ok
Arrived new with tags but was also sent back with them, unfortunately. This dress is very light and sheer so I never found the right occasion to wear it.

Beautiful but runs LARGE
This dress is beautiful but there was way too much fabric in the recommended size. I would highly recommend sizing down at least one, maybe two sizes. Nice material but the sizing feels way off even if the look is supposed to be oversized.

Lots of compliments
Got several compliments on this evening paired it with jeans for casual day. The color is very vibrant. A couple of things I didn't love: the material didn't feel very luxurious and the tie kept falling out. I'm a 36c and it seemed a little tight through the chest though the rest felt fine.

Fantastic material but a lot going on with this jacket
First off, the material is amazing. Feels so luxe. However there is a lot going on with this jacket which was a little too long on me at 5'6" and definitely oversized cut. I wanted to love this and thought it would be effortless but it wasn't. Maybe better on someone taller / thinner or if you size down.
Bowery Oversize Jacket
Elizabeth and James
Size Worn: L

So many compliments!
Beautiful red, eye-catching hemline, fantastic fit. I really liked the look of this dress paired with a white tank top peaking out. The event was a bit cool so I threw on a jean jacket and some booties and got tons of compliments at a work reception. Fit details: - the shorter areas of the skirt are a little shorter than I would have ideally liked but there is enough material that it works well and isn't obvious - the top is fitted. If you are larger on top, consider sizing up or be prepared to wear a tank with a few buttons undone The only downside is that it doesn't travel well. It definitely needed to be ironed after being in the suitcase. Will likely rent again.

Very flattering
The flow of this dress skimmed my body just right. The details around the neckline and sleeves drew attention to the upper body. The waist hits in a nice spot to hide any tummy issues. Flowing skirt makes it great for pear shape. Beautiful!

Love this quirky dress!
Kate Spade does it again! - This dress is beautiful- the colors, the fit, everything! I am in love! The details around the waist, the flow of the sleeves and the details of the neckline make this dress perfect for my pear shape. It definitely also gets a ton of second looks as people realize the beautiful colors are actually horses. Not to mention a ton on compliments. Going to have a hard time sending this one back!

Not flattering on my pear shape
I have had my eye on this dress for awhile and really wanted to love it but it just wasn't flattering on my pear shape. The shoulder seams were a little off (long) and the sleeves added a ton of volume to my upper body. Add in the way the waistband sat and the flounce it created and it just wasn't flattering on me. The keyhole neckline is VERY low cut so be prepared to wear a tank top for work or everyday.

Very eye-catching and warm sweater
I would encourage you to really look at the pictures of the BACK of this sweater. The back is very high - like 3" above the waistline of my jeans when sitting. The middle of the back is also a little different than I expected - a firmer, non-sweater material. It's still flattering (even on curvy girls!) but is something you'll want to be aware of and plan for. The material is very thick and warm with beautiful faux fur collar that lays really nicely. Paired with skinny jeans, boots and a turtleneck for a look that transitions well from daytime at work on a casual day to drinks with friends. Highly recommend and will likely rent again.

So beautiful and so many compliments
This coat is so beautiful in person! Everywhere I went I got tons of compliments. The lining feels very luxe and the colors are flattering with just about anything - and the pink that runs through it adds a real pop. I wasn't sure if I'd love the fur collar but it wasn't irritating at all and really adds to the look. Very easy coat to wear - not sure if I'll send it back!!!

Loved this way more than expected!
Rented this for a business trip and loved it way more than expected! The material is fantastic - luxe and structured in a way that flows beautifully! The fit of the bodice is so flattering paired with the flowing skirt and tied waist. I'm usually between a 10-12. I wish I had gone with the 10 but the 12 still worked well. I was really tempted to buy this one!

A little short and low cut for work
I love the look of this dress - truly! The proportions were just a little off for me. It was a wee bit short but I paired it with tights and that was fine. The neckline was a little revealing as well. Tried to get the bow tied in a way that covered that but it was a little awkward. Wouldn't rent again due to those things but really wanted to love this one!

Love this sweater!!!!
This is a fantastic sweater. Super warm and stylish. Got lots of compliments. The front of the sweater is long - I'm 5'6"ish and the front came past my knee so may be tough for people more petite. I'm sort of wishing I would have bought it but will definitely rent again.

Very unique and attention catching
Really liked this warm and stylish sweater. Think it would be even better in fall as I struggled to pair it with a coat that wasn't too dressy or short. Got lots of compliments on the unique style though.

Really pretty.....but didn't fit
Found this style too straight / tight on my pear shape. Would be beautiful on someone thinner / less curvy though.

Meh
Nothing special with the material or cut of this dress. It wasn't as flattering as I had hoped and I found it to be a little short on my 5'6" frame. Didn't wear

Large and shapeless
This felt like it ran large and was completely shapeless. Wasn't at all flattering on me so I didn't actually wear it.

Eye catching
This sweater is very eye catching and garnered lots of compliments! It's somewhat short for my normal taste so I struggled with how to wear it. Decided to throw it over a black dress with tall boots and felt like a million bucks - casual yet pulled together. It got a little itchy as the day went on - but the compliments kind of offset that! :) Colors are so vibrant that you can't help but smile. And it seems to make others smile as well. The sleeves are long and bell out so be aware of that.

2nd time I rented this gem!
I love this dress! So much that I rented it twice. It's a beautiful material- slightly sheer but still very appropriate for work. My shoulders were slightly constricted and that's not a problem I normally have with dresses. I'm between a 10 and 12 and was glad I went with the 12 for that reason. The lining was also a little short so that may have been an issue in the 10. Love, love, love this dress though!

Very nice dress
This dress is very nice. Beautiful color. Fabulous material. The top felt a little large however the fitted bodice was very flattering. I paired it with a black belt and tall boots for fall but think this dress would be better in warmer weather as it's unlined and the material was quite lightweight

Love, love, love!
Every time I put this coat on I smile and think "I love this coat!" Heavy, warm, super comfortable and stylish enough that my 11 year of thinks I look cool. Score! It is oversized. I'm an 8/10 on top and a 10/12 on bottom and the medium had plenty of room for layers even at the bottom. This is a piece I'll definitely keep awhile, or maybe buy.

I really wanted to love these
I loved the idea of these pants. But as soon as I took them out of the bag I knew they were going to be way too long for my 5'6" body. The awkward length and the way they seemed to accentuate my stomach pouch got these back in the bag and sent back unworn. The zipper was also difficult to do up with the way the seams are. I should say, they are really cute pants but I think they would look best on someone much taller and slimmer.

I kept this for my son's entire football season as it matched their colors. Definitely not for everyone-especially if you want to blend in. Really warm, beautiful and truly a statement piece. Be warned, it is itchy though so you'll want to wear long sleeves under it.

Large....but I may have ordered the wrong size
When I ordered, I thought it was saying it was a US10 / UK14. But this was giant on me - really long arms (at least 3" too long), and lots of extra space throughout the body and arms. That said, the material and design are beautiful. I may try it again in a smaller size.

The sleeves make it a little awkward
Really pretty sweater that drew lots of compliments- but the sleeves make doing everyday things like washing your hands, brushing your teeth, etc a bit of a challenge. The color is also a little darker than I expected and the knit is a little loose so definitely needed to wear a layer underneath, which was fine in the cooler fall weather. Wore with jeans and Converse for a casual fall look.
