Didn't wear but wish I could have :(
I only could get this over my bust by pulling it down around my waist, zipping and then squeezing it over my bust lol. SO basically it was a tad too tight on me. Probably would have been best to have an 18, so I would say TTS on this. Especially as I have worn Hutch before as size 18, but a girl could dream. It did look super cute and I probably could have pulled it off, especially with a denim jacket or something over it. I just had better fitting options from RTR so I didn't end up utilizing this one. Will definitely keep it in my faves for down the road (and maybe 15lbs slimmer lol)...

Havent worn, but is super cute/TTS
I had more choices for my Florida work trip than I needed so this one didn't make the cut. Mostly just because I would have to wear bra-less, which I think is totally fine in a casual setting- I wasn't thrilled with doing that around co-workers. BUT the fit of this was great and TTS as most Madewell is on me. Has pockets and gracefully skims over curves (thicker material on bottom) without any see through. The arm holes were deeper, as others mentioned, but on me I didnt feel it was an issue? Mostly just the bra situation and really liking other options I had from RTR better. I would rent again though!

lovely fit and colors
I would say just as the other kate spade dress I rented, this fit perfectly. I originally wore for a work party in Miami, but am keeping it for another bday party in Florida later this month. This time I think I will wear with a hat and maybe a denim shirt knotted up? Its definitely cute on its own. The fabric is thicker so it hung really well and gave me slim lines which is always appreciated. Hit me about same as the model.

this fit like a glove
I would say of all the dresses this fit the most perfect, from bust to hip, however I didn't wear it just due to liking some of the other ones better. The colors on this were perfect for a Miami work trip, but not my personal first choice (very bold) so thats the only reason I didn't wear it. Otherwise it was super cute, hung well and fit perfectly.

Fit was off; heavier weight to it
I got tts, size 18, and felt the top was slightly loose but the waist was just right. Overall I think it fit slightly big but just wasn’t a good fit for my body. I paired it with a cardigan for a 50’s vibe party so it did the job but I wouldn’t rent again.

Great one time rental
This worked well for me for wanting a comfortable and flattering, formal-ish dress with little fuss. This fit the bill. It was TTS/sized down for me. I got a 16 and it fit perfect. Slight weight to it so perfect for cooler weather. Did the trick but didn’t wow me enough to repeat.

Fits loose and slightly short for me
It’s a boxy but short fit. I was fine with it bc I was layering for a “festival” vibe. Fun colors and comfortable so would rent again.

Super staticky and sized up
I was in the desert so with no humidity and already on the shorter side, this baby was at times like stuck to my underwear lol It’s cute and fits TTS but I sent back and sized up for some more length. Didn’t really notice a huge width difference. Got compliments on it and I loved it but just not for the southwest environment haha

Didn’t wear but would!
I ordered for a corporate retreat week where the temps are increasing from what I originally planned so I don’t need this anymore but it was cute and I would definitely order again in cooler weather. I was planning to wear with a white button down, leggings and white sneakers. I’ll keep in my hearts for future!

This one was weird
As others said- my hips looked like I had some kind of renaissance hoop skirt thing on. I carry weight around my hips so I definitely don’t need help accentuating that lol I had some zipper sticking issues so it’s not zipped in the pic but I think I could have zipped it fully although it would have been flouncy on bottom and snug on top. It’s a cute jumper for maybe those with more of an athletic build.

Didn’t wear but I would…
…for the right situation. I’m going to keep this one in my hearts even though I felt it was a tad small (slight gaping at bust) but I could have worn if I needed to. I ordered for a company retreat with “resort wear” apparel and I think this would have been comfy to wear with sneakers and maybe a cardigan, or loafers/flats for the office.

Didn’t wear
I didn’t love this in person- was too “southern chic” for my taste. It’s definitely cute but just not my style.

Loved this!
Got so many compliments on this one. The colors looked really cute irl-more muted than the pics but still super cute. If you’re a red-head your coloring will pop in this. The fit was slightly oversized- dolman like sleeves, but still cropped enough to not overwhelm. It was cooler bc of the loose knit too. Was able to wear in NC temps over thanksgiving no issues. I would actually consider buying this one and will def rent again.

Wore with a skirt and belt
Cute but not cute enough to rent again. It was TTS for me and I think the fit was good- not too cropped.

Didn’t wear
This fit but did not look good on me. Definitely accentuated my mid section way too much. I assumed it would have a little more drape to it ? But it was more of a fitted sweater dress style so TTS otherwise. I also got the sweater partner of this and wore that with a skirt just fine so the size was not the issue.

Loved the weight of this
Good fit- maybe slightly large? I didnt mind but i could maybe see going down a size for a more fitted cropped look. I liked the suggested size for me. It was comfy but not hot to wear. Would look cute layered too. Would rent again for sure.

Too small and too weird
Didn’t wear- I may have been able to button it but it would have been snug and short on me (5’7”) . Definitely did not work for me but thought I’d try it just bc it was so unusual!

TTS across but definitely shorter on me vs model
I went with my recommended side of xxl, which was great- fit well, good hang to the fabric/not stiff. However I do feel it was shorter on me than the model in the pic (I’m 5’7”) so I opted to tuck into high waisted pants for work. I don’t see myself wearing it with any other combos so probably wouldn’t rent again.
