Fun plaid
These didn't fit me the best as they are super high waisted but they were flattering. The material is soft so they are comfortable enough that the super high waist didn't bother me too much. I liked these a lot and the were great for work. I'd definitely rent again.

Interesting material
I wasn't sure about these as they aren't lined and the material doesn't feel very nice--like a softer, thicker mix of wool and jacquard. They weren't itchy and looked nice but I think a lining would have made them better.

Love it
I've had this in my favorites for awhile but never tried it. I love it and wish I tried it earlier. It was a good weight for fall weather and the fit was perfect for me. I would have bought it but there is a lot of pulling on the lower arms. That is why I only put 4 stars.

Not that cute
This wasn't particularly flattering and in person, it reminded me of something my grandma would wear. I think that was due to the material of the sweater part. It's navy and I thought it might be darker navy but it wasn't.

Cute dress
This is very cute and perfect for the beach. It has been rented quite a bit and therefore shrunk a lot. I'd say it runs true to size, even a bit big. I'm usually S/M. It wasn't as flowy as I thought given the wear and I found it kind of uncomfortable but it was cute. I'll try in a medium.

Good pick for cold weather
I wanted to try out this performance fabric for a sweater. It is very thick and if your jacket is roomy, it is perfect for a cold day or skiing. You could wear with just a vest for spring skiing. I like the pale blue color and the simple design. It isn't extremely flattering but I could have probably sized down to a small and then it would look better. However, I'm wearing it with dark jeans and it looks fine. It looks like it goes your hips on the model but it is shorter on me, more of low waist length. One star off because I think the dry cleaning distorted the shape of the sweater.

Better quality legging
I didn't expect anything special with these but they are nicer than the average Lululemon legging. I rented them because I wanted to see if I could pull off a lighter color in a legging. The material is different--unless it was really cold, I wouldn't want to work out in them but they are step up from my black leggings I usually run errands in. The description mentions cashmere which I figured was inaccurate it but I could see how they have some cashmere in them. Lululemon is so hit or miss but these are a hit.

Nice warm work pants
I like these pants. I sized up to an 8 and don't find them tight. I also hate anything high waisted and by sizing up, these sit a lower on my waist. Because of that, I find them warm and comfortable. The fit is a bit odd though. Usually it is difficult for me to wear Theory pants as I'm in-between sizes and my body type must not work for their ideal shape. These fit me better than the others so I can see how these would be drastically different if Theory usually fits you well..

Didn't like the pattern or fit
When it came down do it, I thought the pattern and gold coloring looked dated. I thought it would be more fair isle like but it reminded me of my great aunt's settee pattern. It was also not faltering with leggings underneath for some reason. I sent back without wearing

Great work dress
This is a great dress. The six fit really well; however, it is very short. I couldn't wear it without tights and boots but since it is the winter, it was good. The fabric is heavy enough that the short sleeves in winter didn't make me too cold. I will rent again.

Doesn't fit me well
I like this skirt but the fit was off. I rented a 6 and that was tighter than I liked. The 8 fit and I like that it was lower waist but it looked like the fabric was pulling a bit in the back as if it were too small. It was only a tiny bit bigger. I wore it but I was disappointed I couldn't get the right fit. I think a 10 would be too big.

Nothing reedemable
I believe the picture speaks for itself. This sweater in wider than it is long. I measured; it is 22 inches across. It fits nothing like the model. I like the colors and pattern and if you can wear something really wide, I'm sure it would work. However, I suspect this will keep getting more and more stretched out.

Fit is OK
I thought this would be just like the floral Draper James shirtdress with the same colors. It was not. There isn't lace and the cut is different despite the same numeric size. I found this to run slightly narrower in the chest, waist and ribcage. It is more slimming in terms of looks but I liked the room in the lace dress. The lace dress runs slightly wider in the waist so it isn't quite as flattering. This dress is also not lined and the last button stops about 5 inches above the hem. A solid dress that I would rent again but I do prefer the other one.

I loved this dress. I love the shirt but I wasn't sure how I would like the short sleeves. I wish they were longer but it was OK. This dress looks great on and with a cardigan it can be professional and without it is perfect for the weekend or warm weather. I will rent this again.

Poor fabric
I ordered a size up and it was too big so it was hard to tell what it would look like. I should have gone with the medium. However, I am not going to try. It is see through but with a light tank top and bike shorts it would have been fine. It is just that the fabric seemed extremely fragile and a splinter would snag it. It needed to be a thicker fabric. It is hard to tell if it once was and it was really worn or like that to begin with.

Perfect
I'm between a 6 and 8 in Draper James because I have broad shoulders. The 8 fit really well. It is slightly big from below the bust down but it is still flattering. It was comfortable, long enough for a conservative environment and super cute. I'm excited to try the polka dotted one as well.

Nice enough
In general I'm being a 6 and an 8 in dresses and it was the same for this. I haven't found this brand to run big. I ordered the 6 and could have worn it, but I didn't. I couldn't get the tie to look like the picture and even though I had a black tank on, I felt like it accentuated my chest too much. I might try it in an 8 but I seem to have problems with wrap dresses laying correctly on my body type. If it fits, I think it is nice enough dress.

Fun and comfortable
This is a great dress. Comfortable and fun. I've rented it in a 6 and an 8. They fit very similarly. I like the extra inch in the 8 because I have broader shoulders but the 6 fits as well and is still comfortable. Between the first and second time I've rented this (2 months), the fabric definitely shows wear. It is more faded, the hems in the sleeves and the bottom have fallen out and overall, looks like it has been frequently worn. It looks OK but it does make it more casual looking. I had hoped to rent this again for an upcoming conference but it will look too casual if I get this particular dress (others may be less worn).

perfect beach vacation dress
This is really cute and colorful. It definitely runs big so I'd size down if you want it to fit more TTS. However, the belt helps with the size. This would be difficult wear if you didn't have the belt. I wouldn't wear this for work, so I returned it without wearing. However, it is also a fun casual summer dress. I will definitely rent it again for an upcoming beach vacation.

Super cropped
As others stated, it is extremely cropped. I rented it based on the measurements stating it was 22 inches from shoulder to hem. I measured it and it's 18 inches. If you have a larger bust, it is even shorter. I wouldn't wear something like that but it was above my naval ring. I rented it for the weekend but I wouldn't leave my place in this. It is really cute and I love the colors. I could see using it at the beach or while boating but it's not worth one of my unlimited spots for that. Or wearing it over a casual dress.

Runs quite big so unflattering
This runs about a full size too big, so it was too wide in me because the material didn't really drape. I might try to size down but I worry a 4 would make me look very curvy which is not a look I like for work. I like the design and material a lot.

Weird fit
I love the pattern and the dress was flattering but I think I'd be better with 8. It is super short and somewhat fitted (or maybe it was too small) so with that mix I wouldn't wear it to work. It also gapped in the back despite filling the bust. My guess is the dress is just past it's prime, and multiple dry cleanings took its toll on the shape. It doesn't look over worn but I've seen this frequently with RTR dresses. The item is of good quality but wasn't made to withstand numerous dry cleanings.

High waisted and heavy material
These are super cute and I would have loved them if they weren't high waisted. I took a chance because I wanted them to work for me but they didn't. The material is very heavy--good for when it it gets cooler. I thought they ran pretty true to size.

Love it and comfortable
I love this print and the dress itself. I rented a medium because of Slate and Willow's inconsistent sizing but I should have rented the small. It is big--too wide and wide at the waist- and not super flattering but I still love it. The fabric is comfortable and it would work with tights in the cooler. I think it could go with any footwear. I wish I ordered the right size because I would have kept it.

Nope
The fit was big but not too big so I think it is TTS but big for Kate Spade. I couldn't find the right pants or skirt to pull it off though. I didn't find the shoulder to be itchy but I didn't wear it all day. It was just too much puff in the shoulders and with the material and pattern, I felt it looked a bit old ladyish given the large fit.

Cute by too short
The fit of this dress is odd. I went with a large given the reviews and the length. It was too big all over but I could have made it work except it was just too short. Sometimes I can pull off 34 inches or the item is actually a big longer but not with this. It covered everything but I thought it was too short for work. I knew from the picture I would wear a cami. I wouldn't have had to if it was a social event but work, definietely.

Great for summer office wear!
I love this dress. The fabric is heavier and lays and really well. It hides imperfections even without wearing a slip or light shape wear. Draper James' fit is usually hit or miss on me as a 6 or 8 is often slight tight in the chest but too loose from the waist down. I didn't experience that in dress. The M has room but not too much that it is unflattering. It is a cute and well-made summer dress.

Good dress
This is a well made very comfortable dress. The medium is comfortable and unlike some other Slate and Willow dresses, this seems more TTS. My body is more like an inverted triangle so there is too much fabric in the hips which make it less flattering. Given the comfortable, I will probably wear it anyway. It is lower cut but I would just wear a cami underneath it. There is more than enough room.

Nothing unforgettable
This runs true to size but Kate Spade usually runs smaller in the chest and shoulders than other designers so I often size up. I ordered my usual 6 is this based on the reviews and it fit. So for Kate Spade it might run big. . The dress doesn't have a lining and it highlighted my imperfections more than I would have liked. I think a lining would have helped. I don't have a full body slip in a light tone but that might work as well.

Good
I always need a white shirt that doesn't need ironing and this worked well. While not a thin material, it is light weight enough and fits well. I couldn't go any smaller though in the shoulders but the room in the bust is fine. I don't have the gap that others mentioned despite having a larger chest. It is 70 degrees out with low humidity so it is comfortable. I don't think it would be that comfortable if it was much warmer or humid due to the polyester lining.

Not for summer or warm climates
This is stylish, well made and professional looking. However, the fabric is quite heavy and it was too warm when I was outside but the loose fitting bottom didn't help with the over air conditioned office. This is probably better suited for early spring or fall. The side slit runs quite high on your thigh. I felt it was too high for the office. It could be cute with black leggings and boots though. I'm between a 6-8 in dresses due to broader shoulders. This was slightly too big on me and might be overwhelming on a petite or small framed person. I may have been able to size down but I was good with the fit. I found it more flattering in person than my picture. I will rent again in the fall.

Fit well but sized up
I didn't end up wearing these because I wanted to take them on a work trip but I think they will be too warm. However, I wouldn't define them as low-waisted or fitting odd but I also don't have a body structure that works in high waisted pants. They were mid rise--higher than I like and they went just over my ankles. They fit. I wouldn't go smaller but the cut is such I would even go larger for a a looser fit but I like looser clothing. I have narrow hips in proportion to my mid section so that could be why they fit me better. I would rent again in the fall.

This didn't make my favorites list because I thought it would be too thin and too tight in the chest based on the model and reviews. However, I saw it in the store and it is thicker fabric and the large fit looser on me so I rented. It so cute and comfortable--=no itching despite the wool. It is a good sweater for unpredictable spring weather in NYC.

Short thin T-shirt
Despite the reviews being extremely accurate, I guess I thought it was a still a good idea. It is fine but too short without tights/leggings and very thin.. I wish it was longer because it would be a good choice for the warm months. I wore a long sleeve t-shirt underneath and there was enough room that it didn't look frumpy. It reminded me of the Derek Lam black t shirt dress in terms of fabric and style. This runs more true to size though.

Not for me
I couldn't pull this off. The material below the gathered waist poofed out so it appeared as if I had large hips when I don't. It fit in the chest but part of the issue with the waist is that that it came up too high on me since I needed the room in the chest. Otherwise, it would be a nice conservative work dress or something you could make fun with a denim jacket, etc.

I've had this on my favorites for a year and finally rented. It is really cute but the fit is off. It was a bit snug in the arm pits although wearable. However, it is so billowy it looked like I could possibly be pregnant. If there was bout 2 inches taken off on each side it would have been great. I sent it back without wearing.
