Perfect and easy!
Loved! I wore it for a September PM wedding. It was one of those "just put on and know it looks great." I got so many compliments! The fabric is sturdy enough to provide structure and hang well - but not too thick. No bra necessary! It was on the shorter side (for my height), which I didn't mind. Just something to note when sitting down/bending over, and raising the roof on the dance floor :) Wore with an updo and simple gold earrings. I'm renting again for another event in December!

High neck + updo
I wore these earrings with a high neck gown and updo for a wedding and they were perfect! Added just the right amount of tasteful sparkle without overwhelming the rest of the outfit

Very lightweight, comfortable and flattering!
I wore this out to dinner and a wine tasting event in a warmer climate. It was very lightweight (kind of like linen), but didn’t look flimsy because it still had a little structure. I liked that it buttoned and had a tie at the waist to cinch it to add some shape. Looks more flattering in person than this picture shows! The print was fun and I got lots of compliments.

Repeat rental!
Rented this a second time for vacation and am obsessed! Lightweight material that still feels sturdy (though it does wrinkle a bit). I loved being able to just throw it on, cinch the waist tie, and go!

Sleeves slightly short but otherwise great
As others have noted, the sleeves are slightly short, but otherwise great! It's definitely lightweight. This is not going to be your warm winter coat, but is perfect for cooler evenings and mornings when you only need a layer for part of the day. The color surprised me in that it matches more than I expected!

Nice easy dress for summer
I am typically a 6-8 (more like an 8 these days...) and the size 8 fit perfectly. It was narrow and fitted but not restrictive, and the adjustable straps helped it lay correctly. As others have noted, the fabric is on the heavier side, almost like a soft denim. One major downside is that it wrinkled a LOT - despite ironing the dress, it quickly wrinkled. This photo was taken after sitting for an hour.

Comfy & cute but runs large
I decided to rent a M-L, thinking that my usual size in sports bras (and tops) is Medium. I didn't want to feel overly constricted. However, it definitely felt more large than medium. I bet the S-M would have been perfect. Will try renting again but sizing down, as I did love the soft fabric, cute pattern, and seamless design of this sports bra.

SUPER comfortable workout pants
As a fitness instructor, I wear workout clothes all the time, and have tried countless brands over the years. In an effort to branch out from my usual black, I tried this fun print - and loved it! The fabric is some of the softest I've ever felt, especially in workout material...it felt like a second skin. It held up throughout the day and easily transitioned to running errands with black athleisure sneakers and a cute hoodie. Can't wait to rent again!

Great, sturdy pants for cold winter days
I wore these pants several times during cold winter days to work, usually with a fitted black turtleneck tucked in. Overall the pants looked as expensive as they are. They were great for injecting a little "style" into my conservative office dress code -- I still felt professional and polished. One minor fit note was that the waist cinched in a little tighter than expected (this is generally not an issue with how pants fit me) which created a very slight pooch that was probably not noticeable to anyone but myself.

Comfortable, flattering work dress
I loved this! I rented for work as I love easy pieces that I can just throw on and know will look polished and flattering. This had a perfect tailored fit: nice waistline, appropriate length for the office, and not too tight across the shoulders. There was a bit of stretch in the material which made sitting in it all day no problem. Ended up purchasing!

Fantastic "basic" !
I loved this so much I bought it! Usually I avoid turtlenecks, but wanted one that had a modern look (ideally with a lower collar) that didn't feel too sweater-like. And this was perfect! It felt like a t-shirt as the material is on the thinner side and very comfortable. The fitted silhouette was flattering and perfect for tucking into a pencil skirt for work and high-waisted jeans without bunching.

Good, lightweight sundress for several occasions
I wore this dress to the beach, wine tasting, and out and about in the city on vacation. Threw on a white denim jacket for cooler nights, which balanced out the "preppiness" of the colors/stripes. If I'd been motivated, I could have switched up the look with a belt or different accessories. Overall, it runs pretty large (I am normally a 6/8 and found the 10 to be right - maybe a touch large - but I wanted a looser fit). The pockets and back tie were a nice touch. I liked that this could work for many activities on my trip and was lightweight (i.e. great for travel). Not sure how it retails for $500+ (!) given it's a basic cotton sundress...but that's why I love RTR!

Classic, easy piece for work
You always know what you're going to get with DVF wrap dresses, and this was no exception! Nice fit that wasn't too tight. Pattern, fit, and material felt appropriate for my (relatively) conservative office, but not at the expense of style. If this weren't so expensive, I'd buy it.

New look for me!
I rented these as I typically tend to wear lower-rise, dark wash skinny jeans only. I loved being able to try a new style, and these fit the bill! There is a good amount of stretch, so I didn't feel "trapped" by the high waist. Also, I love that there were several buttons in the front. The wash was the right level of lightness that I could wear with many colors. They did stretch out after two wears, but bounced back after a quick wash/dry.

Fun step-up from a basic white blouse!
I liked that this was more interesting than my go-to white blouses. I wore it twice: once with black slacks to work, and once with jeans and heels (tucking in the front part, which was easy to do). Both times I felt great and got lots of compliments. As others have said, the bell sleeves can be a little unwieldy (like when washing your hands or typing on the computer), but nothing that severely gets in the way.

Nice, comfortable dress for work
I liked the overall fit of the dress. The fabric was stretchy and comfortable. It was a nice alternative to a sheath dress, as there was a nice amount of stretch. However, the slit in the back went too high, and was borderline inappropriate. This may have been due to my body type, but just something to be aware of. I am glad I was wearing tights!

Great dress for vacation!
I rented this and another similar dress for vacation in Mexico. I wanted something fun and fashionable that would also be comfortable and light. This dress was perfect! I ended up going braless which was totally fine as long as the tie is nice and tight.

Perfect dress for vacation!
I rented this dress to wear on vacation in Mexico when it was 80+ degrees. It was perfect! Light and flowy, it was the perfect weight and look for exploring the city and staying comfortable. As others have said, the tie in front is a little awkward, but I ended up tying it around my bra and it was fine.

Loved the pockets and color on this fun romper! Normally rompers don't fit my 5'9" athletic frame, but this one was actually flattering! As others have said, the button/draping at the chest is somewhat awkward, but nothing that can't be fixed with some fashion tape and/or pins.

Perfect, flattering, fun dress!
I am so in love with this dress that I want to buy it! I wore it to a Labor Day wedding and got compliments all night. The fit is super flattering, though it runs very large. I normally am a true 6 in dresses and wore the 4R. However, even that was slightly big, so I could have definitely worn a 2 that would have been a snug fit and not worried about it moving at all. The only tight part is the top/waist. Even though I'm tall at 5'9", the regular length was perfect with tall heels.

Perfect dress for a day at the races!
This dress was amazing! The fabric is thick and luxurious and the pleats hold up well. I could have worn the 6, but went with the 8 (I'm usually between 6 and 8) since the 6 was just a bit too short (I'm 5'9"). I got so many compliments and was sad to send it back!

Pretty pattern and colors, some issues
I loved the shades of blue and how the dress came in at the waist. It was very flattering and I felt great in it. However, there were a couple issues. As others have mentioned, the zipper was problematic. It was difficult to pass the zipper over the seam at the waist. Eventually, and with help, I was able to zip it in, but it was impossible to unzip (a friend and I tried for a half hour) so we unfortunately had to break the zipper to get me out of it. Also, the dress is not lined (which I was expecting from Kate Spade). Be ready to steam the dress when it arrives, as it wrinkles easily and the pleats were not intact.

Festive dress with a big skirt!
The skirt is very poofy, but in a good way! I hung it up for a day before wearing, which helped straighten out the layers. It definitely required a little fine-tuning, but ended up looking great. The 6 fit better on top, but was just too short, so I wore the 8 for modesty's sake. Easy to accessorize and perfect for the New Year's Eve party I wore it to. Got lots of compliments!

Absolutely amazing!
I absolutely LOVED this dress! The material was lovely and I got so many compliments. Unlike others, I actually had no problem getting the ruffles along the collar to stand up using my steamer at home. The dress fit like a glove, and looked so polished and chic. It was the perfect conservative dress (wore it to a friend's black tie company party) that still had a whimsical touch. I was so sad to send it back. Will definitely rent again! FYI: I usually wear an 8, and knowing Kate Spade can run large, I ordered a 6 as a back-up size -- which is the one I ended up wearing.

Cute but short
I liked the look of the dress...the colorful sequins were a nice change from the usual monotone black or silver. I also liked having the sleeves. However, this dress was very short on me (I'm 5'9") and was passable, but barely. Since it's not fitted, it made me look a little large, but I'm sure would look great on a shorter/smaller build.
