Super flattering
Fit was true to size and really flattering, especially with the peplum and ruffle. The straps definitely don't stay tightened - I finally gave up tightening them throughout the night because the dress stayed up fine and the straps didn't slip off, but they did loosen. Really loved the color and pattern and received a lot of compliments!

Loved it
Fits true to size, super comfy, and a great length for tall girls. The bodice was fitted enough that I didnt need a bra. Loved this dress!

Awesome
Much more comfortable than I expected for sequin pants. They have a thick lining that eliminated any itchy feelings from the sequins. Great color and fit. I'm 6'0" and these hit a few inches above my ankles, but still worked - awesome for tall girls! The waistband and legs have good stretch, which is great, but I felt I needed to keep pulling them up throughout the night. Had I sizes down they would have been too tight in the legs, though. Overall not bad!

Really cute and comfortable
Fits true to size. The zipper was a bit difficult, but otherwise the dress was wonderful. Just enough stretch to keep it comfortable. The color is gorgeous, between an emerald and teal. I'm 6'0" and this hit right at the knee. The lace is dense enough I was able to wear a regular bra underneath, which is always a plus. Loved it!

Lots of volume
It's a gorgeous dress, but has quite a bit more volume in the skirt than I expected. I ended up wearing something else because this one was a little "poofy" for the event I had.

Different but cute
Fits true to size. The collar and cuffs are actually a brocade with little frills. Not quite what I expected, and it looked awfully puritanical on the hanger, but looks really cute on! Fabric has a lot of stretch and it's super comfy.

Loved it, but size up!
The dress was great, but runs small. I'm usually between a 4 and 6, wore the size 6, and I think I would have been comfortable in the 8. The fabric has some texture to it and is relatively thick, so I was fine going braless, though a regular or maybe cross back bra would have worked. The cutout is in a flattering spot, and the slit up the leg was just right. Super comfy and a great length for tall girls, too. Absolutely loved it!

Fun and cute
I loved this dress, but ended up wearing something else for my event. The cutouts on the dress are subtle, and the pattern is really cool without being too over the top. The length hit in just the right spot for me (I'm just under 6'0"). This fabric is like a scuba material, so the dress is incredibly comfy, and it fit snugly while still having plenty of stretch. I'll likely rent this again so I can actually wear it somewhere!

Adorable
Great dress. I wore this to my law school graduation and for dinner afterwards. It transitioned from day to night well and was comfortable. I loved the sleeve length. The pattern is really pretty, and I received a lot of compliments. I think it ran just a bit small - the 42 fit, but was a bit snug, so I went with the 44 and was happy with how it looked. One of my favorite rentals yet!

Runs VERY large
I LOVED these pants. They run incredibly large. I'm normally a size 4, and the 0 was slightly too big still - I had to safety pin the waist a bit to cinch them. Size way down if you get these! The length is great for tall girls - I'm just under 6'0" and these hit above my ankles, but could be bunched up a bit (as seen in photo). The sparkle is fantastic and I received compliments on the pants all night.

Runs small, but I loved it!
Loved it. It runs a little small on top, so I sized up, but there was still room in the hips. It was comfortable and really cute. The skirt is so fun - this was perfect for a holiday party!

Gorgeous, but short
Beautiful dress - the back is adorable and the color is great. The skirt is a bit fuller than it appears in photos, and will probably need to be ironed/steamed to get the pleats to lay correctly. This was VERY short on me (though I am 5'11"). I wore this for my family's holiday card photo, but probably won't wear it to another event because the skirt felt too short to be comfortable moving around in. Still a gorgeous dress, and it photographs beautifully! Fit is true to size, maybe running a tiny bit small in the chest/torso.

LOVE!
Fits true to size, with plenty of room in the hips due to the skirt's volume. I'm 5'11" and the skirt was actually a bit longer than I expected. It's a conservative length, but with a fun color and neckline. Great for a summer wedding - I wore this to an outdoor wedding, and the dress was just perfect. The fabric has a beautiful patterned texture, but it's lightweight enough to feel comfortable in the heat. I'm already planning on renting this again for another event.

Runs a bit large, especially in the bodice
I loved this dress so much! The lace detail was lovely, the fabric is absolutely gorgeous and the shape is unique. It does run a bit wide in the bodice, but the rest fit true to size.

Very pretty, but not a great fit
This dress was so pretty - the fabric is absolutely gorgeous. The fit however, didn't quite work for me. I felt it hit my waist at an odd spot. It wasn't flattering to my shape so I chose a different dress. This might be one to get as a backup option because it is lovely, just has an odd cut in my opinion!

Gorgeous Shimmering Dress
Overall, I loved this dress! The color/fabric is incredible - a really gorgeous shimmering green gold. It glimmers so beautifully. The neckline was a bit hard to work with initially, and I felt the dress was loose around the chest and on top. I wore the 42, but I think the 40 may have worked, too. The waist on this dress hits a bit low, but since I'm tall with a long torso it was perfect. For someone with a very short torso, this may feel a bit disproportionate. If it wasn't for the loose fitting top, I'd give this 5 stars! GORGEOUS dress!

Very fun dress, AMAZING color!
I love the color of this dress SO MUCH. It was beautiful in person and in photographs. The skirt hung a bit straighter in person than in the picture, but I still really liked the shape. The cutout and bow detail on the back was so fun. You definitely need a statement necklace with this one. I gave it four stars because it arrived with a small stain on the hem. Otherwise I was very happy with this dress. Kate Spade never disappoints :)

Longer than pictured, fabric is thick.
The fabric is really lovely, but thicker than I thought. It's less like lace and more like heavy embroidery. I'm as tall as the model pictured, and this dress hit below my knees. I ended up returning it because the length just didn't look right and was much longer than I expected. I felt it ran large.

Beautiful color, great quality
I didn't read carefully enough and was not expecting these to be clip ons. They felt great at first, but by the end of the night I felt they weren't staying on very well and took them off. Wasn't a major issue - and my own fault for not reading the description. The color is GORGEOUS in person - so vibrant and sparkly. The size is great. Big enough to make a statement, but still simple and elegant. I got a lot of compliments on these earrings.

Such a cute, preppy dress!
I usually wear a 4, but only a 2 was available and it fit well. However, I still say that it runs true to size because while the top fit well, I have a narrow upper body, and I think on girls with broader shoulders or bigger chests, sizing down would not be good. The skirt is SO CUTE and the belt is adorable as well. I wore this for a bridal shower and got tons of compliments. Looks perfectly preppy with pearls :)

Runs large, but very cute.
The ruching is bulky. I normally wear a 4, but should have gotten a 2. The 4 was loose (but still doable) and the ruching added to it feeling too big. The bow was adorable, and the dress was really comfortable! I got lots of compliments, despite feeling like it wasn't quite right. Size down!
