I wanted to love this dress but it didn't quite make the cut. Pros: The fabric is heavy enough to lay well and cover trouble spots. The print is fun! I loved the hem length. Cons: I think the dress was a bit long waisted for me. It probably would fit better if I were an inch or two taller. The belt kept sagging. I had to retie it multiple times. As the day wore on, static cling became an issue. I will rent more from this designer because I do love the style.

I have been looking for the perfect shirt dress for sometime. I rented this one and immediately decided to buy it. The fabric is very thick. This might not be the best dress for a hot summer day. It is a great shape for a pear-shaped figure. I am very happy with it.

I loved this dress and would consider renting again for the correct event. I rented it for a wedding and felt that the dress was just a bit too plain for that event. However, I would absolutely rent it again for a less formal event. I loved the cut, I loved the fabric, I felt that the cut itself was very flattering for a pear-shaped figure

I absolutely loved the cut. I felt the fabric was a forgiving fabric. However, when the reviews say that this is see-through, they mean it. I could not wear this dress out of the house. You could literally see skin through the fabric. It was not appropriate for substitute teaching.

I really wanted to like this dress. As with most Kate Spade dresses I have worn in the past, the fit is not great for a pear shape. The shoulders were too large for me, but the hip area was too tight. I did love the fabric. I loved the piping on the dress. I felt the length was respectable enough for a good Friday service at my church.

I absolutely loved these pants. They were very different from anything I've worn before. The waist is high. The legs are full. I loved that I could dress them up or dress them down. I liked them so much that I decided to keep them rather than returning them immediately with the rest of my items. I found them to be very flattering for a pear-shaped figure. I am 5'5", so I did need to wear heels with these pants. A wedge heel was perfect.
