Flattering for Postpartum
This dress was lovely. It worked great for the wedding I attended. I appreciate the shape, especially since I am postpartum and still trying to lose weight. I think it would have been helpful to go up one more size. The color is gorgeous and the dress was really comfortable.

Compliments for Days
This dress was gorgeous! All the reviews were spot on. The colors are stunning and look even better in real life. I couldn’t believe how many compliments I received on this. And I think I got at least four people to sign up for RTR too. Very glad I sized up. I’m six months postpartum and have trouble figuring out what size I am, especially in Australian sizing. I’m carrying the majority of my new extra weight in my lower stomach. I wore a size 10 and it fit great!

Great maternity option!
I am 31 weeks along and wore this to a theatre awards banquet. I ordered a size 2 and 4 but ended up going with the 4. All my weight is showing in my belly. The button details were so cute. I wish it were a different color since this didn’t scream “summer” to me, but there were limited maternity options. I received many compliments. Great dress!

Feminine and cool!
I received endless compliments about this dress. The color is stunning and works great for fair skin. I loved pretty much everything about it. And I've gained a little weight lately and this made me feel perfectly comfortable. I will say, I wear natural deodorant and the sweat was real and showed on this. That being said, if you wear antiperspirant for a day, that won't be an issue for you. If I were wealthy, I would have purchased this. Feminine, fun, and unique!

Fantastic Dress for Fall!
I am obsessed with this dress! I rented it for my husband's birthday. I loved it so much and wanted to buy it but I found there were a few nitpicky things that would have bothered me. The sleeves do fall down quite a bit. I do have narrow shoulders, so that might not be an issue for everyone. And the lining of the dress is not stretchy. What I mean by that is if you had to jump across a puddle or typically take larger strides when you walk, this might annoy you. However, for an every day dress to wear on a date or to the office, it's exceptional. I was super close to buying it. I completely get why it continues to receive such great ratings.

Would love to buy!
I LOVED this shirt! I would have bought it with my membership discount but the price changed. I cannot justify the cost. But the shirt is fantastic! So sexy and fun and very comfortable. I planned to buy this now for when it's warm again in Spring and Summer. Alas, I had to send it back but this is a terrific, unique style and I would absolutely consider buying it in the future.

Fantastic bag!
This bag was amazing! I used this every day for almost two weeks. I couldn't justify the price though because as far as safety is concerned, there is none here. There is no way to close it (zipper, magnet). However, the structure is amazing and the quality is gorgeous. I would consider buying the smaller version to use for every day or for even this size for a work tote bag, but I wouldn't take it anywhere that could be deemed unsafe, life traveling, at the movie theater, etc.

Attractive Pattern!
This was a gorgeous sweater. I think the quality was great but would never consider paying full price for it. It wasn't itchy at all, which I appreciated. I wore this for my husband's birthday weekend when we went to a hockey game. Keep in mind the neck hole is not very large so put this on before you do hair or makeup.

Great skirt!
I wanted to buy this but it was bordering on ever so slightly too tight. I ordered a Small and it fit great around my waist. I think this would be very versatile and adds some edge and femininity to any outfit. I just thought that if I ate a big meal, I would likely feel this was too tight and would make me self-conscious. But the lace details and tulle are fantastic!

Classic with a Punch
I love this dress! I was so close to purchasing it. I'm not used to wrap dresses having such a noticeable opening in the front. You HAVE to wear a slip or shorts under the dress. That's the only downside. This silhouette was stunning and the bodice fit perfectly. The sleeves were just a tad long because they don't have petite sizing and I'm short. Also, navy is flattering on all skin tones and goes with everything. That being said, I would rent it again and still might buy it in the future.

Stunning but Unrealistic
This dress is beautiful but I didn't end up wearing it. The fit was very tight around my hips. Also, I'm very comfortable with low cut dresses since my chest is so small but even this made me feel super uncomfortable. It would have been sexy but I would have been self-conscious the entire evening.

Sizing Reviews Are Correct
The cut of this dress is lovely and it's a heavy fabric so great for chilly Fall events. However, the sizing was correct. This dress runs small and the fit is strange. I have a very small chest and the Medium was too big for my chest but fit my waist. I ended up not wearing either size because I couldn't breathe in the size Small.

Cute, but not my style.
This dress was cute but the colors weren't flattering on me. I do think you could wear this during multiples seasons. The reviews are spot on. This dress is huge! I'm normally a size 4 but I got a size 0 and still had room! Would be great for pregnancy or if you planned to have a big meal. I'm also only 5'2" and the 3/4 length sleeves were almost full length.

Extremely Versatile!
I really enjoyed this dress! I would have bought it but the colors weren't flattering on me. I love a wrap style and especially enjoyed how versatile this dress was. The front slit/opening was very high so I would recommend a slip or tights. This truly can be worn year round which is rare. If I can find this in other colors I will definitely buy it.

Fun and Ladylike
This dress was terrific! I wore it to my cousin's baby shower. It fit great. Still plenty of room to breathe but I added a belt. The neckline and sleeves make the dress appropriate for all occasions but the vibrant colors make it fun about for a party. True to size.

Slay All Day
I love this coat beyond words! The reviews are correct that it's oversized. I got the smallest size (XS). At 5'2" the sleeves were still too long. I'm getting them tailored. But the rest of the fit is perfect and allows you to wear chunky sweaters. Perfect for Midwestern winters. The color combination is my favorite too. Stunning quality. This is well out of my normal price range but I couldn't pass it up and ending up purchasing it!

Great coat for transitioning between seasons
I wanted to buy this coat so badly. However, I couldn't justify keeping it because I live in the Midwest and could likely only wear this coat for a few weeks out of the entire year. I'm petite and was extremely pleased with how well this fit. It wasn't hanging off my arms and didn't overwhelm my frame. However, this definitely does not allow space for huge chunky sweaters. I tried this on with one of my thinnest sweaters and could barely move my arms. And I don't have huge arms. The coat would look stunning with a thin blouse or dress but not chunky sweaters in the dead of winter. However, it is surprisingly warm like the other reviews stated.

Unsure of fit
This dress was so beautiful, but unfortunately it didn't fit well so I couldn't wear it. I read many reviews and couldn't decided between a 4 or 6. I wish I would have gone with the 4. The structure of the dress was beautiful but the 6 had way too much space around the bust and would have shown my bra all night.

Worthy of Audrey Hepburn in "Sabrina."
This dress was stunning! I actually liked it way more in person that I did on the site. I wore this to a friend's wedding. The dress is incredibly well-made, which I typically expect from Kate Spade. There is boning in the waist area so I would size up if you feel bloated or plan to eat or drink a lot. I'm right in between size 4-6. This fit beautifully but got tighter and tighter as the night went on. I'm 5'2" so it fit almost like a full length gown more than a tea length but I thought it looked lovely. I received so many compliments at the wedding. I would absolutely rent this again. This was my first experience with RTR and I was blown away!
