Far more navy than white, made for hot days
This is the perfect breathable fabric for a hot, humid summer day. Take this on your summer vacation! Just note that it's more of a navy background with white accents. The waist is stretchy and it's very comfortable. It's also double lined where you need it - with a dark navy fabric that doesn't show through, so you don't need do worry about the color of your undergarments.

Gorgeous colors & pattern - but made me look bigger.
I was really excited about this dress for the rich colors and interesting pattern. Sadly, I was never able to wear this out due to COVID-19. I felt like this dress made me look bigger due to the shinny-ness of the deep grey as well as the pleated skirt not playing well with my tummy area. Maybe this would be better for an evening event than for use during the day. It was also hard for me to find a pair of shoes that I already owned to pair well with this dress.

The colors woven into this tweed jacket make it a classy knock out! Lots of versatility with a classic fabric and cute. Love, will rent again!

Gorgeous pattern, fun blouse
After you put you're time in fussing with the bow to get it just right, this is a really beautiful blouse. It was too cold to wet it with a pencil skirt today, but I look forward to renting it again for that killer outfit combo.

Pretty unique pattern, runs large
This dress is a solid choice to quickly throw on and go. It has a different and novel pattern with the mixing of the colorful floral and white polka dots. This is definitely a dress to wear with heels to elevate it. I'm 5'7 and it felt a bit long on me, dipping below the middle of my knees. The fit is also on the loose side, making it feel a bit more boring on me. Overall (on me) this is a solid 3 stars.

Warm & classic - Loved it! (Runs large)
Kate Spade is always a sure thing for work and this rental was no different. This A-shaped dress fits and flatters at the waist with a dark black band and features a subtle but interesting black & white hatch pattern throughout. The fabric is a nice thick sweater material, making it perfect for winter, late fall, and even early spring when there are cold snaps. Runs large and a bit long, but looks so flattering overall I didn’t mind. Order a size down if you’re in between sizes.

A beautiful statement even with dark hair.
These are super pretty and are quite the statement even though the dark features don't pop as much against may dark hair. I think that might actually make them more wearable on more casual occasions.

Cozy warm, comfy, with a great pattern
This dress is super warm and perfect for a low temperature winter day. The dress is double lined through the body/torso. Will rent again in frigid January!

It was so short! Leggings or bust with this one
I tried to make this work, but gave up and sent it back w/o wearing. Between the just-past-my-tush length, and the fact the A-line silhouette + pocket placement way over exaggerated my hips. I'm typically a Dream in Kate Spade but this one didn't do it for me.

Versatile pattern, comfy/flattering fit
This was really a great little too to toss on and go. It paid well with jeans, burgundy, navy, a green military jacket, and a rust colored scarf. I was able to really change the tone of this top from casual to dressy depending on what I paired it with. Will likely rent again next spring. This is a light silk/satin top, so it will not keep you warm in the winter in cold climates.

Love the marigold but blush pick triangles ruin the bag's versatility.
I took another reviewer's advice and choose black, white, and grey semi monochromatic outfits to wear with this bag. Otherwise you will very quickly appear color blind if you aren't careful with what you pair with the bag. I'll keep it for a few more days and send back.

Nice for work, but didn't love the neckline.
It was a nice weight fabric, but I wound up not loving the wider V neckline with collar. Just personally didn't feel as though it flattered my large shoulders. Other than that, great dress for a different body type.

Felt foxy all day!
So cute! Love the pattern and fit. The shoulder to waist area in the back of the dress had gathered, stretch fabric that is perfect for ensuring the perfect bust fit (with no gaping buttons!). Would consider buying in the future, will absolutely rent 2-3 more times for fall, winter, or early spring!

Pretty pattern, a tad busy, but feeling very sexy!
This ran a bit tight in my mid section and the pattern is a bit busy and bold... but I did feel very sexy and well put together today. The jacket toned down the pattern and hid my tummy a bit on a rainy fall day. Will most likely rent again!

Cute summer dress - wish the waist came in 2 inches lower
It was lovely, great colors and embroidered detailing. The waist was high for me, so I felt bigger in this dress because of that. But otherwise lovely dress for a day at the office or a walk around an art festival.

Eye catching logo, nice color. No inside zip pocket.
Great carry-all work tote. My favorite part is the awesome looking Coach logo font on the front of the bag. I'm used to totes not having much organization, but the lack of that quintessential zipper pocket for keys, phone, and lip gloss is slowly wearing on me after a half a week of use. Very nice quality overall, just might not be for me long term. :-)

Tapestry dress: quality material, weird neckline for large shoulders
I liked the pattern and quality of the thick fabric. And it was a fine dress to mix things up near the end of summer. Pockets were awesome!

Tough to zip up without a buddy, but looks awesome when you finally get it on.
It's a bit short in the torso, but it was very feminine and lovely. Great weight for summer. Will most likely rent again.

Form fitting for sure but beautiful lace, pattern & colors!
This dress was a bit tight for me in my waist so I tried to cover that up with a blazer. I did love the stretch lace, neckline, and pattern. Even with the waist being tight I felt sexy and professional in this outfit. Will rent again after working on my tummy!

Very short top!
The only reason I was able to wear this top was because of the long pencil skirt I paired with it. Otherwise this shirt would have been almost a crop top on me if I wore it with jeans. Nice pattern and color scheme. Elastic on the waist and neck allows for easy on and off while providing comfort throughout the day. Fine shirt to wear for one work day, but probably won't rent again.

No need to size up with this shirt!
I went ahead and wore it because it's a really pretty/cool/unique pattern & color combination. I'm wearing the size 18, which was quite large around the arm hole area. I would up pinning it in on each side just under my arms and took the top waste tie in almost all the way. Works for casual Friday!

Stunning summer dress makes you feel special!
This dress is so easy-Breezy and oh-so perfect for summer! I'm in love! I rented this for my corporate company picnic, and I'm glad I did because it's going to be 90 degrees this weekend. I've already worn the dress to dinner last night and work today. Getting a lot of looks and smiles and I feel so pretty! I'm in between a 14/16, but ordered a size 18 (Italian size 54) and it was just perfect! Size up one for comfort if you can, as there isn't much give or stretch to the dress, but it's very comfortable one size up. I'm thinking about purchasing I love it so much!

I really enjoyed wearing this. Add a thick black belt for waist definition and felt so charming all day! Perfect for summer, and would rent again in the fall to wear with tights and a blazer.

Busy pattern, short, restricted arm movement.
It's a cute dress, but definitely cute weird as so many other users have stated. Made the mistake of putting dress on before doing my hair, and I couldn't raise my arms above a 35 degree angle! Fine for a day, but that's it.

Really love this dress. The faux wrap style was very flattering. At times it felt a little short when I sat down, but other than that it was a nice dress... comfy and a great fit with spanx. Didn't feel as expensive as the price tag though.

Nice top
It was a bit boxy on me. That being said it was so comfy and I liked the color a lot. I wore it to "casual" Friday my first week of work to keep things fancy. I wore the top at least 2 additional times over the weekend as well. It's a great "toss on and go" top.

Wore to work but didn't zip all the way up (hence the blazer)
This is a really beautiful dress. It's perfect for the summer and would be beautiful for any kind of bridal event. I wore this to work, and it was great for that too. I do have a large rib cage and wide shoulders, so I was unable to zip the dress all the way up. I wanted to wear the dress anyway, so I improvised and wear a blazer to cover the zipper area.

Very nice for work and carrying all your junk
I love the light gray color, it went with almost everything! I carried it for about 2 weeks. It's casual enough to wear with jeans and is easily dressed up for work too. This was the perfect rental to mixup your purse collection, but I probably wouldn't ever want to buy it.

What a stunner!!! Fit and flattered
This shirt was absolutely beautiful! It fit and flattered so effortlessly. I wore this three times the week I had it. First to a backyard party with no cami underneath... I felt sexy! I also wore it to work with an olive green Cami underneath it, and a pair of well-fitted skinny suit pants. At work I felt lovely. Can't recommend this shirt enough if you have a little tummy to hide. I would buy it in a heartbeat, if it weren't $150!
