Cute Buttons
It's cute, but unlined and thin fabric. Therefore, it doesn't feel high end. The buttons look great from a distance but cheaper up close. Be aware that it is a warp skirt. With all that being said, it's neutral, but fun, I was able to make it work with a lot of tops, so I liked it. It ran a little smaller though than other Kate Spade items I've rented previously in this size. If in doubt, I'd recommend sizing up on this one.

Beautiful fabric!
I love the way the dress flows. The fabric is bright and fun. It's a good piece for fall/spring as the fabric is thin and light and airy. The under-slip is comfy too. I love Anna Sui. I might rent this one again.

First Pencil Skirt that worked for me!
Love, love, love this skirt! The wool is so soft and warm and it hugs your curves nicely. If the price wasn't so steep, I would have purchased it. I wore it several times before sending it back. It's a great piece for your work wardrobe!

Conservative but sexy
The dress is long and doesn't show cleavage or anything, so it's great for work. It accentuates your waistline and your curves though, so in that sense, it's kind of sexy. I liked it, but didn't love it. The length is a little hard to pull off without heels which I unfortunately can't wear. Also there is 0% stretch in the fabric, and the waist is pretty small. It fit, but wasn't the most comfortable thing I've ever worn. I enjoyed wearing it once, but it's not something I'd wear multiple times.

Beautiful colors and patterns!
The fabric and colors are amazing! Just be aware it runs very large and has no shape what-so-ever. It's basically a giant shirt. I still liked it anyway, but it's not my usual style. It was fun for a change. Others weren't as much of a fan because of the bagginess. The sleeves were so poofy that they looke d ridiculous on me. I had to roll them up. Then they looked fine.

Amazing, fun dress
I was worried how this would look since it's a tent dress, but it was fabulous! It was so retro and fun. The color is bright and playful. I loved the adjustable belt. Your shoes can dress the look up or down. This is one of my favorite pieces I've rented so far.

Comfy and cute!
I loved this dress! I kept it for several weeks and will probably rent it again. The lace is fun and the asymmetrical cut. I paired it with a light denim jacket. I colors are beautiful. It has no stretch what-so-ever though so keep that in mind when considering the size to order.

Cute Floral Dress
It's simple, but I really liked it. There was plenty of room in the hips, and it accentuated my small waist. My only complaint is the chest area was a bit tight, so I had to use a safety pin to avoid a mishap. Otherwise, it's a great day dress!

Pretty print and ruffles
Feminine and cute! I love the ruffles. I had to wear a slip underneath though because the fabric was a bit sheer in the light. Otherwise, it was a great dress!

Unique, fun design
The bag is neutral and goes with everything. The design is modern and fun. Yes, the bag is small, but it fits all the essentials such as a wallet, phone, and lipgloss. It's my favorite bag rental so far. I got lots of compliments. I would rent it again.

Fun, Unique Print
The fabric and print is fantastic! So, so pretty! I was worried with all the ruffles it wouldn't look flattering, but somehow it did. The back cut out is super cute. However, it is a true wrap dress. It is low cut and I was worried about it slipping all night. It's difficult to find a bra that works with the back cut out. It ended up being fine. This is a dress for the evening though and not something I'd feel comfortable all day long.

Beautiful Floral Summer Dress
I love the print, the colors, and the flowy material of this dress. I even wore it to work with a camisole underneath and a jean jacket over the top. Be aware that it is very low cut. It is form fitting in the chest portion and due to the style of the straps and the lower back, I didn't wear a bra. I love the dress, but it was a little lower cut than what I usually wear. It would be great for a beach vacation.

Super comfy
This dress is very comfortable. The elastic waistband combined with the silky, light fabric makes this a piece you can wear all day long. The color is also bright and fun. However, it isn't as flattering on as I'd hoped as other reviewers had mentioned. I think it's because of how the fabric is so large in the top and billows out over the elastic waistband.

Pretty colors
This is the first Kate Spade dress that didn't fit me. It was just a little too tight in the hips. The fabric is light and the piping is beautiful. I was sad it didn't work out.

Thin, breathable fabric, but not for large hips.
The fabric is light and airy. The dress is unlined, so there isn't much too it. It was way too small for my hips and therefore bunched up in the middle. It didn't look or feel like a higher end item. This dress would be best for someone without curves.

Funky and comfy!
This dress is modern, fun, and comfortable. I loved it! I wore it three times before sending it back. It's so unique and the fabric is nice and weighty. I was worried that the part around the neck would bother me, but it is loose enough that it's comfy. I would rent this one again.

Not flattering fit for curves
If you are a straight stick with no curves, you could maybe pull this off. The weird kangaroo pouch in the front is just weird. It puts a lot of fabric in the belly area and just was very unattractive. The dress was also way more like a pencil skirt at the bottom than the photos had me believe. Technically, it fit, but I didn't feel good in the dress, so I didn't wear it.

Pastels for Summer
I liked the look much better in the photo online than in person. The fabric is silky and the color is paler, so it looks different in person. The top portion was large, but the bottom was too tight in the hips. Therefore, for those with curves, this may not be the best choice.

Beautiful print
The print and colors are amazing! Be aware that this is a true wrap dress. I got lots of compliments. It is super low cut, so I had to wear a camisole underneath. If you choose to go without, you might want to use fashion tape. The dress was also a bit too long for me in the back. If you wear heels, that fixes the issue though. This was my first time renting a Hutch dress, but it certainly won't be my last!

Nice, weighty material
I love the weight of this dress. It's summery and breathable, but it also has some weight to it. The zipper sticks a little, which is annoying. However, the dress is comfortable and very flattering. I should mention that the yellow is much darker than pictured. I still like the color though. I would rent this one again.

Fun hoops
Light, fun, bright, and comfy hoops. I wore them all day without any irritation. The orange is almost neon. It's very bright. It made the orange in my dress pop.

Cute and simple
The fabric is heavy but breathable. I wore this one with a strapless bra. The dress was much longer on me than the model. It's simple and cute. The straps kept falling down though, which was annoying. Otherwise, it fit well.

Amazing!
Beautiful silk that flows when you walk. The colors are bright. The dress is comfy. My only complaint is you can't wear a proper bra because of the straps and how low it cuts in the back. The dress is also very comfortable and light weight. I dressed it down with a jean jacket and wore it to work one day too. I would rent this one again.

Cute bag, but construction isn't the best
The bag is adorable! I love the colors and it matched perfectly with the Fuzzi RTR dress I rented. However, some of the stitching didn't seem so tight. Also, some of the beads already looked worn when I received it. From a distance, you couldn't notice, but I was worried that one wrong move and a bead could come loose causing more beads to come loose. Luckily that didn't happen, but I only carried the bag for a couple of days because it made me anxious. Cute bag, but I don't think the quality matched the price tag.

Tiny in hips, huge in shoulders
The construction and fabric quality is fantastic. I've rented this designer before and last time in the same size, it was a bit big. This one was so tight in the hips, I could barely get it over them. The shoulders though were falling off. The color is so beautiful, but I couldn't make it work so back it went.

Amazing Silk Dress!
This dress is fabulous! It was my second rental from this designer and I couldn't have been more pleased! The favorite feels so nice as it is silk. The print is vibrant and with all the colors in it, it is easy to coordinate accessories with it. It flows when you walk, the tassels are huge, but you can get away with it with the busy pattern. The length was perfect on me. I got lots of compliments on the dress. I hope to rent this one again.

Love, love, love this dress!
The colors, the pattern, the fit, the length! EVERYTHING! I love everything about this dress! Well, except the high price tag, which is the only reason why I didn't purchase it. The dress fit me perfectly and made me feel so pretty. I think it's a tie for my favorite rental to date. I'll probably rent this again and definitely more from this designer!

Chest is tiny!
The chest area runs super small and compressed my breasts in an unflattering way. The straps were too big though and kept falling off. The fabric is nice and thick and I love the hook and eyes down the front. It's a nice dress, but it just didn't work for my body type, unfortunately.

Unfortunate band placement
Technically this dress fit, although it was a bit tight in the chest area. However, I found it really unflattering because of where one of the bands hit. It bunched there because the side zipper didn't lay right against the curve of my hip and caused it to bunch up and look like I have a big belly. This is not a good look. I do have a longer torso than most, so maybe it falls differently on me than most. It did come up shorter ok me than the model and most of the user photos. I tried adjusting the straps, but it didn't help because then too much of the top was showing. The straps were also a really itchy, uncomfortable fabric. I wanted to make it work so badly as the print and ruffles are cute. It just wasn't meant to be though.

Weird dimensions and unknown print
So this dress isn't solid. There is a little white cross pattern all over it which I wasn't feeling. The top portion was huge in the chest and the shoulders and was gaping open, The bottom was too tight around the hips. You also are going to need a slip under this because it is unlined and shows everything. It was not a good look. I sent this one back without wearing.

Lovely summery dress
The print and colors are beautiful. The details on the embroidery is what makes it. If it wasn't so tight in the band at the top, it would be perfect. Due to the tightness of the band, I went without a bra. I would'n't size up though because then the straps would fall down. This dress isn't about shape, but it about fabric quality . If you're okay with that, then you'll love this dress.

Nice colors, pain to wear
Getting the buttons done and undone on this dress is a bit of a pain. Also, the wrap opens in the front without much of a wrap around. It was way to easy to flash more leg than I wanted to at work, so I had to be careful how I walked. The colors were really pretty, and I like the asymmetrical design. I got several compliments on it. I like it overall, but not enough to rent it again.

My favorite warm weather rental
I am in love with this dress! The colors are gorgeous and the photos don't do it justice. When you walk the ribbons trail behind you. It was a little large in the chest but otherwise fit perfectly. I will probably rent it again.

Great summer print and stretch
I usually wear skirts or dresses. I have trouble finding pants that fit me because I have a smaller waist and larger hips. I usually wear an eight or a ten in pants. These pants fit really well in the 10. There is some stretch, so they are comfy. The print is so cute and summery. I wore them with a brown top, but I think white would be really nice as well. Unfortunately the blue and yellow tops I had were not quite the right shade, so they clashed. This was my second Trina Turk rental, and I loved it just as much of the first. I'll definitely be renting more from this designer.

Strange sizing
I wear a 6 or 8 in dresses. I ordered the six and it was a bit large in the shoulders. However, it was uncomfortably tight just below the bust. I wasn't a fan of how it fit and the very puffy sleeves made it look dated. This was one that looked better in pictures to me than in person. If you don't style it right, it comes off as grandma. I couldn't find a bra that didn't show either because of the deep v. Because of the tightness, layering wasn't an option either. It just wasn't meant to be.

Nice Lines
The top is a geometric masterpiece! I got lots of compliments. I paired it with a pair of dark jeans and some earrings that were the same crimson as the ribbon on the shirt. The six fit me perfectly, but I usually wear an 8 in Adeam dresses. Therefore, I'd size down one from your usual size for this designer. I would rent this one again.

Beautiful Fabric
The print and the fabric itself is amazing! I love the colors and the design. It was baggy up top, but if I'd sized down, it wouldn't have fit in the hips. The dress was comfortable and the fabric made it feel pricy. However, because of the cut, I felt like I was wearing a fancy nightgown. I think I would have liked it better belted.

Nice metallic
It's nice and flowy and breathable silk, which is why I rented it for vacation. The metallic tassels and gold metallic in the silk are pretty. However, that also makes it itchy and uncomfortable. You'll need to wear something under this one for sure. Because of the fabric texture, I wouldn't rent again. I like the way this piece looks though.

Comfy and cute
So comfortable! It was perfect to wear and still feel summery but good for travel to a move conservative country since I could button the top portion up high. It's also cotton so nice and breathable. The embroidery is nice and I love all the tassels. I would buy this one if I could afford it. It's a great dress!

Summer Fun
The dress is beautiful. The length was perfect on me. I loved the lace and embroidery. The dress is lightly fastened together at the top with a hook. It easily comes undone. I was having to rebook it every hour. It made me self conscious. Other than that, I loved it.
