love love love - very flattering
It runs small so size up (I'm a 6 and the 8 fit well). The fabric has some give and the drop waist wasn't too tight for my pear shape. Many compliments on this dress! The sleeves are mesh but not itchy and it's not very noticeable.

love the pattern, runs big on top
I'm usually a 6 in dresses but the size 4 was huge on me. If you're small on top go down 2 sizes. Lots of room in the hip area as well if you're pear shaped. The pattern is so pretty and it's long enough for work with tights. Would rent the 2 and see if that is a better fit.

Loved it! But wear with tights - it's short
Super flattering. Even though it's a little tight on the hips, wearing stocking underneath smoothed it out. It's super short if you need to get the size small because you're small on top (I'm an A cup). Great look and ok for work if you wear a blazer and thicker stockings.

Very bold, not comfortable, not my style
It fits well, but the gold balls flip inside the knit of the sweater which created a weird look and they get very cold. It's not very comfortable fabric. Overall, just was too much of a statement for work and not comfortable enough for weekend casual wear.

Super cute, but fabric quality issue
I loved the fit and style of the shirt, though it is very low cut. Downside was the quality of the fabric. it was faded and pilled which was disappointing. If the fabric was better quality I would have considered buying.

Bold color without being loud, great for work
It's a really high-quality looking dress and a nice polished look for work. The drop waist starts right above the hips so the fit was weird there but not noticeable. Bold without being loud!

A little too trippy for work but great fit
Gorgeous dress but it was a little too loud and multicolored for work, even with a black blazer on. Super flattering and fits great if you're small on top but have hips.

Not off the shoulder at all
It's not actually an off the shoulder sweater, it's kind of a weird stretched out turtle neck look in reality. The quality of the shirt was very poor so I would not buy this as over time it doesn't seem to wash well/gets pilled.

Runs large, very comfortable
Arely comfortable and flattering dress. It runs very large and is stretchy material so very forgiving. Wasn't quite dressy enough for work even with a blazer but nice for a casual date.

Very chic, a little short for work
I got many compliments on this dress. Note it kind of has peaked fabric on the shoulders but they aren't very noticeable. It's a bit short for work so would look best with stockings. Very chic and overall would rent again.

Runs large, great pattern, but uncomfortable fabric
I love the pattern but the fabric was uncomfortable. I think it's the material being kind of textured. Many compliments on the great pattern. It was very large so size down.

Very professional but not remarkable
Comfortable and professional. Long enough for work. Was kind of boring and unremarkable. It's large on top and tight on the hips if you are pear shaped.

Ok to dress down for work
It's such a pretty dress and I was able to dress it down with a blazer for work. It's a heavy material so maybe not the best for a warm day. It's sheer beige material in the back and front so I had to wear a strapless bra. If you're small on top it hangs a little bit oddly but only I noticed.

Very cute and light material
The dress is very short and a flowy material that blows up if you're not careful. It's a very light material so great for a hot day.

It fits differently than other Kate Spade dresses. The size 8 is enormous.
Tapestry Jacquard Dress

Size Worn: NONE
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 6"

Very pretty large appliqué lace pattern
The medium was tight around the hips (I'm a size 6-8 usually) and then a bit baggy on top. There's basically no stretch so it's stunning in person but uncomfortable as the day goes on. The small midriff area is open (I thought it was a belt!) but no one noticed. Cute, but tough if you're small on top with bigger thighs.

Light and summery, runs large
The pattern is really interesting and the fabric light and airy. Nice for a warm day. I could easily dress it down with a blazer for a casual work look.

Love love love the comfort of this dress. Would consider purchasing. The top is a big if you are small but I pinned the v-neck and it looked great.

Really fun for work and weekend
The shirt is so pretty with a very tasteful yellow color. It's not overly 'loud' and was great with a blazer for work. I would consider buying the shirt as the quality of the material is excellent. The shirt is super flowy, so you can size down. FYI - there is no side/back zipper, just one back tie that unbuttons.

Runs very, very small.
The fabric has no give at all and the 6 (my usual size, sometimes I wear a 4) was too tight to get over my hips. The quality is gorgeous, but I would have to get an 8 or 10 to get it on and be able to sit in it. Size up one or two!

Gorgeous shirt!
It runs small, but even so the turtle neck wasn't bothering my neck. Looks great with a blazer for work. I needed to wear a strapless bra because the asymmetrical cut on the right side goes far in. No a major issue at all but be aware!

Super cute and nice length
The fit was great and it's a silky, flowy, comfortable fabric good for a warm day. It hits just above the waist so if you're small on top you could even size down to the 2. I wouldn't wear it for a business meeting but a suit jacket fit over it nicely for an office look.

Runs huge and just wasn't flattering
I usually wear a 4 but tried the 6 and it was huge. Baggy all over, from the arms, to bust, to waist. Would recommend wearing with jewelry as it's a very basic dress. Wouldn't rent again even in a smaller size.

Very comfortable and long enough for work
Very comfortable and not too flouncy or short for work. I wouldn't buy because the fabric can get stretched out and the edge of the dress was unfinished (looked cut, no seam). Would definitely rent again.

Good for work and date afterwards!
It is very, very short so I had to wear stockings (which I didn't expect). I'm usually a 4 but this dress was just a little too tight for comfort. The high neck wasn't bothersome at all (could hardly notice it, when I was worried it would feel too much like a turtle neck). Wound rent again and size up one size.

Way too short!
This was too short when I sized down from 4 to 2 because I'm small on top and tend to get lost in billowy dresses. I've worn some pretty short dresses (even to work) but this was un-wearable even for weekend.

Very versatile and flattering
It's great for work with a blazer or something summery like a wedding or drinks out. The 4 just fit but barely, so I would have liked the 6 better. For a jacquard dress it wasn't stiff and did have some give/stretch. Would recommend and wear again.

V-neck too deep for work
Super cute pattern but I was just not comfortable wearing such a deep v-neck to work. The arms were a little tight for anything but a camisole underneath.
