Shiny
I didn't realize that this dress had a metallic sheen. I ordered it for work, but I didn't wear it since it is more appropriate for after 5 (in my opinion). The dress fit and looked great on me. I ordered a size up to ensure it fit based on the style, but this dress is true to size.

Not flattering
I wore the dress and I was uncomfortable in it all day. The ruffles at the bottom give the dress movement, but it was not the type of movement I wanted. I would go up a size to prevent the dress from riding up.

So many compliments
I received so many compliments on this dress. It is bright, vibrant, fun, and young. The dress was big around the waist on me, so if you are hourglass shaped, I recommend sizing down.

Looks like a Kimono
I wore the dress to work, but I wouldn't wear it again or purchase. The material is silky/shiny, so it is not matte like the picture. I think I would like this dress in another fabric.

Go up 2 sizes
The color is fun, but this dress runs really small. I usually wear a 14. I ordered a 16 and I need a 20 or 22 to comfortably wear this dress. It was no where close to zipping.

Doesn't fit like other Kate Spade Dresses
This is the 5th Kate Spade dress I have rented an this one is oversized. The sleeves are very long and the dress is shorter than expected. I wore it, but it is not as flattering as some of the other Kate Spade dresses.

Easy to wear
I love everything about this dress. The pattern is cute and the dress is comfortable. This is an effortless dress for an hourglass shape. No spanxs required and cute if worn with kitten heels, pumps or flats.

Itchy
The stitching on this dress is very itchy. I didn't wear it because I couldn't keep it on for more than 5 minutes. The shape is super cute and I would have loved to wear it, although it ran a little big in the waist. This dress would be considered super high fashion for the area I live in, so I wouldn't have been able to wear it to work.

Very flattering
This dress is perfect for hour glass shapes. It is in not lined, so spanx's are required. I wore it once by itself with black pumps and again with a black sweater and black booties.

Fun and professional
I received so many compliments on this dress. I love the color and fabric. It fit my shoulders perfectly, but it was large in the waist, so I belted it. Hourglass shaped girls should plan on belting to cinch is waist, or it will look frumpy. It is a fully lined dress, so no shape wear is required.

Perfect
The shape is great if you are a true hour glass shape. I originally ordered the 16 and it was big in the arms and waist, so I went down a size to a 14 and it looked amazing. I recommend wearing shape wear underneath to smooth out any lumps or bumps, although the pattern is very forgiving.

Nothing special
It a plain white dress. There is nothing special about it. The bell sleeves brought a little drama, but I could imagine they would get annoying over time. They are extra large sleeves in comparison to the dozen of bell sleeve dresses I own. I ordered the dress as an option for my bridal shower. I didn't wear it since it was so simple.

The slit in the back was really high
The dress fit me overall, but the slit in back of the dress exposed by butt. To avoid exposing me rear, I would have to go up 2 sizes.

This dress is oddly tight around the rib cage. There is no hope for anyone my size fitting into the XL.

Pretty
I ordered this dress for an event, but it did arrive in time for me to wear it. It is really flowly and has slits in the back. I plan to rent again for a future event, but I will size down because it was large around my natural waist.

The material is nice, but due to the cut of the dress, it runs small. I would recommend going up 2 sizes if you want it to fit like the sample photos.

Perfect for hourglass shape
This dress fits in all the right places on my body. It made me look and feel 15lbs thinner because it cinched my natural waist and concealed my hips. I wore it twice in a week (work and networking event) because I loved it so much.
