Breezy elegance
Flows beautifully. It’s definitely smaller at the waist

Love!
Comfy and versatile, short but the fabric has stretch, I never felt it running up. Idk why I didn't buy it but I will because it's such an easy transitional piece that can work on different weathers and occasions

COLOR!!
The colors are BOLD and bright, it's super warm and comfy but! It's a short cut, so I sized up for a "baggier" look and the sleeves were way too long

Bold, comfy
It runs small but it's also high waisted, so it gets tight on the butt in the best way - it's sexy without being revealing. I danced all night in it and never got hot

I mean...FLATTERING is an understatement. And yeah the cleavage is deep but it still looks so tasteful - the fabric is heavy but it moves with you, and obviously the pockets are a blessing always

Loved, but the boob part is all true
The cutest most flattering KS dress I've tried, but I did have to secure the cleavage because my event was in a church, BUT! not complaining, it's just a tiny adjustment for a super flattering piece - if you even need to.

Gorgeous but size down!
Glad I got the M instead of my regular L. It was perfect, material is beautiful and fresh but still with a heavy/expensive feel

I want one in every color
Dress is perfect EXCEPT I had to size up a couple sizes because arms were super tight and I could barely button up the chest in sizes 16-18. Size up! Everything else is so lovely :)

Loooove
I'd absolutely buy this dress although it's more fun to rent it :) the print is way more vibrant and unique in person, it's super fresh without being transparent, and the pockets are just the cherry on top! Will rent over and over for sure. Just runs a bit large on the mid section, but totally forgivable

Wonderful!
Everything about this dress is wonderful, but the bust/wrap top was a little tricky and took me a few attempts to manage the big gap on the right side/sleeve. Still would definitely rent again, what a gorgeous summer dress!
Eloise Wrap Dress
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 16

A little too much fabric
It definitely is way more formal that it seems. The sleeves were probably my favorite part because they were light and flowy, the rest of the dress felt too busy, too many ruffles and fabric on top of fabric. Not my favorite

If I could buy every single one of these Kate Spade dresses with cute prints, I would. SO fresh and light without being see through flattering, bright

Not the best
I mean, is not the best most flattering fit, BUT! It's soooooo comfortable and easy to wear, fresh in a crazy hot day of summer. So I can forgive the cut

Absolutely unwearable
I get that sizing differs a bit from brand to brand, but this dress is just ridiculous. I wouldn't have to size up one or two sizes, but maybe like 5 or 6. Bonkers. I don't even know where to start with the problems with this piece.

50/50
The top part is wonderful: material, cut, fitting. The skirt? Not so much at all. Even making it a little tighter, it makes your waist disappear. Still looked professional enough. Tome is quirky and cool, but they're normally not the best option if you want to show off the curves

I was hitting all home-runs with Kate Spade dresses until this one. Couldn't get it over my chest. Runs super small.

So glam!
Maybe a little too glitzy for work, but I combined it with black slacks and black oxfords, so it toned it down a little. Cut isn't boxy. Loved it

Gave Parker another chance!
I've had not so great experiences with Parker sizes, but this top looked cute, flowy and basic for work, so I gave it a shot. Mistake. It fitted almost like a crop-top and the color is not so much blush, but like a sad gray-ish tone of pink. Could not go out of the house looking like that

Definitely not true to size. Too right on the chest and I'm not super large-chested, so it definitely runs small. Great for narrow figures, not so much for curves

Boxy but cute
I mean, the dress is supposed to fit very loosely, so it obviously runs larger than most would. The print is super vibrant, my husband loved it :)

Basic basic basic
It's just a jersey wrap dress, not much to say about it. Material isn't as great as other rents (the $43 retail seems obvious), but I matched it with a black blazer and white leather sneakers and it wasn't so shabby

I was a little skittish of the fitting, but the material is super stretchy and spandex-like, it's almost like it comes with shapewear included lol. The design is obviously unique and it pops in a very professional yet fashionable way in an office

Perfection
Obviously you can't see this in pictures but the way this dress flows and moves it's DREAMY, the little sparkle is so subtle yet so unique, it's impossible not to look at it, even being such a basic design, it does wonders for a girl's curves. I can see myself renting this over and over
