I'll Pass
This dress reminds me of curtains from yesteryear. The material is rough to the touch (both on the outside and inside - although it is lined to the slit on the side), has no stretch, and is just not flattering at all. I will have to say that it runs true to size, it just didn't appeal to me.

Not a fan
Length was short on me (5'10'') and I wasn't a fan of the material.

Liked the look of the jacket; rented it just because.
Man oh man, complements galore! I got so many complements wearing this jacket that it started to get a little embarrassing :). Just know, this jacket runs small, but I made it work. I rented the large; even if there was an extra large option, I don't think a larger size would make up for the proportions of the jacket. Four stars for the sheer awesomeness of this piece, minus one star for sizing.

So very stunning!
This dress was a back-up since the other dress I rented didn't work. I was almost a little glad my other one didn't work because once I saw this on the website I knew I wanted to wear it. It is absolutely gorgeous and you will get tons of complements. Now, about the fit. The reviews on the website were mixed regarding fit, and since this was a last-minute rental, a back-up size wasn't available. I requested my normal size (6L) and crossed my fingers. Putting on the gown was a struggle - not because I couldn't get it on, but because the zipper was super stubborn (my other rental had this issue too...). I had my husband assist me and we were both afraid we would break the zipper. After we finally got it zipped, the overall fit was a little snug (but not enough to contribute to the zipper issue). I was worried about the peplum effect since i'm long waist-ed and peplums hardly ever work for me, but this worked out great. It accentuated my waist, and the effect in the back made my tushy look like 'WOAH!'. Another reviewer suggested not to plan on dancing in this dress. That is sound advice. Any inkling of hips or bootie will significantly challenge this gown. While the 6L was just a smidge snug, I believe the next size up would have been too big, especially in the bodice. On the other hand, the length was awesome. I'm 5'10" and the long length with 2" heels had the front just touching the floor. The back has a train, which just added to the wow factor. All in all, the glam factor was well worth the mild uncomfortableness(?) and the inability to participate in the Electric Slide. Four stars because the dress is really gorgeous - minus one star because I reeeealy wanted to do the Marcarena. RTR was super duper awesome with assisting me with this last- minute rental!

Couldn't wear - Too Small
Fit was way too small. I have pretty petite wrists and I still couldn't get it on. This was one of my queued items from the Unlimited membership. Couldn't wear it so it ended up being a wasted pick.

Couldn't wear - Too Small
Fit was way too small. The size was probably listed and I missed it but couldn't get it to fit any of my fingers and my ring finger is a size 6. This was one of my queued items from the Unlimited membership. Couldn't wear it so it ended up being a wasted pick. Three stars for cute design. Edited to add: Page states the ring is one size. Apparently the one size is super tiny.

Just right
Wore this to a wedding. I found it to be true to size, even though Kate Spade is notorious for running small. I sized up for my second size, but found my regular size (6) to work best. I'm 5'10" and it fell about two inches above my knees. Although low cut in the back, I was able to wear a regular bra. Really cute dress. Wore minimum accessories (simple necklace, nothing else); this dress speaks for itself. Lovely attention-getter.

Beautiful silhouette for tall gals
I really liked the way this dress fit me, This dress creates a lovely silhouette and is extremely flattering, especially for us taller gals. Speaking of tall, I wore the 6L with a low (<2") heel, and it was *just* too long; not enough to trip over, it was just touching the floor (a problem I almost never have). Even at 5'10", I probably could have worn the regular length and been ok. Overall, this is a very nice dress, sure to be a show stopper.

well...
The circumstances surrounding my selection of this gown were less than favorable (it was not my first or second choice). That being said, I will give the most unbiased review I am capable of :/. I ordered this gown in a 4 Long; while it did fit in the body (less a little tightness around the arm area where it zipped), the length of this was waaaaaaay off. The size and fit info suggested that the long length would accommodate up to 5'11''. I'm 5'10'' and this gown BARELY REACHED MY ANKLES. Not only that, the beige lining underneath was noticeably visible probably for two reasons: the gown was just too short, and the lining was just too long. I did what I could with it, but overall I was underwhelmed with this gown. **The "runs small" rating in the overall fit refers to the length.
