Maternity - Perfection
I wore this two days in a row I loved it so much - I dressed it up for a business meeting and down for a party. Nice and stretchy, it was great for my current size at 26 weeks. I'm 5'8" and 155lbs. My pre-pregnancy size was typically a small or size 4. Lots of compliments

Great for maternity
This is a more formal sweater dress so it was perfect for a February bridesmaids luncheon. I got a ton of compliments on it! I'm 26 weeks pregnant, 155 lbs and probably a C or D bra size right now. My non-pregnant size was a 4 and the small was great.

Not great for maternity
I loved the concept of this dress, but at 26 weeks pregnant this dress just wasn't ideal. I'm typically a 2 or 4 so I ordered a 4 or 6 for being pregnant. I wore the 6 but it was still pretty snug and the zipper dug into my back a good bit. Maybe an 8 would have been better.

A million compliments!
I wore this for an event at work. I felt like a dream in this dress! So many compliments. I wore a regular bra and panties, no problem. Didn't need a slip or anything. I paired it with cheetah print flats and gold hoops and a low bun. It was perfect!

BEST RENTAL
I did not want to take this dress off! I felt so sexy and it was so flattering! Loved it so much! I wore a sticky bra, but I don't have much up top so it worked well for me… I don't know how it would do on someone with a larger bust. TONS OF COMPLIMENTS I wore this for a winter wedding and it was perfect.

Stands out in the crowd! Endless compliments.
I loved this dress. I wore it to a November wedding. It was so much fun to dance in and my boyfriend loved it. The material is lovely and heavy, very well made, non-tacky pink color. The side panels were a really cool unique twist. They got a little wrinkled on the car ride to the wedding but the wrinkles fell out later. I wore a sticky bra, and I'm really small chested, so didn't fill the top out super well - but I got over that. Altogether amazing dress!

I was disappointed that these beautiful earrings were heavier than I expected. They are also very large. I don't think I could have lasted an evening with these on.

Glam!
I sadly didn't get a chance to wear this dress, but I loved it!! Pros: total statement. Funky color. Love the ribbon. Great length - about mid-thigh and I'm 5'8" Cons: felt a little boxy. The shoulders of the dress were a tad bit too broad.

AMAZING - but too big
I usually wear a 4 in dresses, but the 4L came back to RTR damaged before my event! (Huge shout out to RTR for totally taking care of me and helping me find a new dress.) They sent me the 6L just in case, but it was too big. The dress is so shiny it almost look wet. Which is really funky and fun. Nicole Miller is a genius with her design, because your waist looks tiny with the way it cuts in. If you want to show a lot of skin, go for this dress. However, I strongly recommend getting a backup dress. I'm wearing 4" heels in this pic. The bottom of the skirt is very full and has a train. You can't wear a normal bra with this dress. Altogether, this dress is a major statement!

It was a dreamy NYE in this dress!
This dress was amazing. Everyone was obsessed with it too. I wore it to a black tie affair - I wouldn't wear it to anything where boys aren't wearing tuxes. It's very formal. My favorite aspects were the beaded sheer top, and when when you're walking the skirt fills with air and looks full and just dreamy! It also has POCKETS. The skirt has some tulle underneath to add to the poof. I also love to swing dance and was concerned that I would not be able to with the long dress, but the high-low aspect of the skirt really helped a lot and I danced all night long! I was comfortable the whole time.

Absolutely classic. So many compliments!!
I loved this dress so much - I'm SO happy I rented it. I'm 5'8" but my date was short so a wanted to wear flats - the regular length worked well! It would have been nice for it to be like half an inch longer. But it touched the floor when I was wearing flats, and there is a mini-train in the back that's gorgeous. I'm usually a 2 on top and 4 on the bottom. With the 4R, the hips were snug, so I recommend ordering your normal size for your hips, as well as one size up. I haven't worn a dress with this material before - it's lovely! The dress is made very well - flattering and comfortable. I could wear a normal bra with this as well.

Super comfy and totally glam!!
Loved this dress! It was super comfortable and the fabric is stretchy on the top. I wore it with a normal bra. There's a liner for the skirt too, which I liked. The material was perfect for a November wedding -- thicker, good for fall/winter. Loved the color and the structure of the dress. Well made and super comfy!

Favorite dress! So flattering and classy!
I got so many compliments on this dress. I was disappointed that the seam at the busy was a little damaged but that didn't stop me from wearing it! I danced all night in this dress. Didn't want to take it off. It is not fitted in the hips, and I'm smaller in the bust so I sized down. It is lower cut than I expected, but not too revealing.

Did not wear.
I did not wear this necklace. It was a little bit more chunky, heavy, and glam then I expected and it did not go well with my dress. I expected the necklace to be pretty translucent but it was very shiny. It reflected a sort of purple color too… It's hard to describe the color that reflects off the jewels.

I loved these earrings! Very glamorous and a little larger than I expected. Pretty heavy but they didn't stop me from dancing all night!

What a statement!
It came with a piece broken off which is too bad, but it wasn't noticeable so I wore it anyways. The only disappointment was that you cannot adjust the length of the necklace and it was pretty long for the neckline of my outfit. Lots of compliments though!

Didn't want to take it off!
This dress fit me perfectly. I loved it and did not want to take it off. I'm pretty small in the fast but I wore a padded strapless bra which solved my problem. I suggest some sort of pearl earrings to accompany the sweet pearl button at the top in the back. I loved the lace and I loved the peplum… Everything about this dress was perfect! I usually wear a 2 or 4 and the 2 fit me perfectly. I'd say it runs a tad bit large.

Glamour that turns heads!
The sequins (sewn into the lace) are very scratchy. It definitely irritated my arms, but I sucked it up for the glam! I liked the fit and length. I could wear a strapless bra too. The slip underneath did poke out a little in the back, but it wasn't a big deal. The 4 had a broken zipper so I'm glad the 6 fit me well. It runs large (I usually wear a 4). Overall very fun dress - got lots of compliments!

Bodice too big
I'm small chested, and even though I usually wear a 4 in dresses, the 2 in this dress didn't fit me on the top! Gorgeous though. I wish I could have worn it! If you're smaller than a B, don't order this dress.

Lots of compliments!
Cons: I am 5' 8" so this dress was a little too short, but I went with it anyway. I was disappointed that the dress was obviously overworn/ over dry-cleaned. The material was losing it's quality and there were loose strings around the zipper -- that was a bummer. I am small chested, and the bodice of this dress has wire for shaping -- I didn't even begin to fill it out. If I slouched, the bodice poofed out a bit, but it wasn't a big deal. Pros: Everyone LOVED this dress -- I got a ton of compliments. It did not make my hips looks bigger like some of the reviews suggested. I loved how the dress was made, and loved the colors! So pretty!

Made for short girls.
I did not wear this dress. I am 5'8" and usually wear a 2 or 4 in dresses. The 6 in this dress was too small. The waist line of the dress hit me way above my waist line, which created an awkward bunched/poofy look around my waist. It was way too short, and was too tight on the bottom. The material feels almost like a bathing suit. It's not cotton or silk/ it's hard to describe. Would not be a problem if the dress fits right!

No question about it - go PRO!
I have so many weddings this year and I love the RTR concept! I love renting fabulous dresses that don't have to sit in my closet for the rest of my life. Going PRO was a perfect fit for me since I'll be renting so often.

Bodice was too big.
Kate Spade makes great classic clothes, but this dress ran too big for me to wear. The bodice was frumpy and the shoulder straps were too wide (it didn't sit right on me) so it didn't work. It would be great for you especially if you have wider shoulders. The skirt was a bit poofy - more than I expected, but I love the pockets. Size it down and it's a perfect, girlie, modest dress for any occasion.

Knock out dress!
I loved this dress! I usually don't wear tight dresses but went for it with this one and loved it. It's tight but the design is very flattering and it's really well made. The only problem was that I have a small chest, and the straps were too long -- fashion tape came in handy. It would start to ride up a little at times, but it wasn't a big deal - just had to tug it down every so often. I usually wear a 2/4 in dresses, but I'm glad I got the four. It's true to size, but get an extra size up just in case. Fun, festive dress!!!
