Very cute but not a good fit for my body at this time
This dress really shows everything that is under it meaning. If your figure is on that looks well in a snug fitted dress this would work great. I have a little bit of a hanging muffing top that I did not thing this worked for. If I was more rounded without any overhang I think this would have been great. It is very cute in person and I love the colors. I would absolutely try again when my body is in a little bit of a different place :)

Love this Dress!
I wear this for work and really love it. It was also worn by the Communications Director Daisy on the show Madam Secretary! The bust and waist are perfect and length fantastic for work. The fabric has a little give but not the waist. The zip up the back is exposed and gold. It is a good zipper with no issues going up and does not stick. The dress is not one I thought I would love but on it is just so cute and a little refreshing to a sometimes mundane work wardrobe.

Looking for dress for engagement photos - not it
This dress in person is as pretty as in the photos color and lay wise. Even with my 36H bust I found the top a bit oddly large and not the right shape. I will not be wearing for my engagement photos nor would I rent again because from the waist up it was just not the right fit.

Not like the old STS dresses
If you have work STS for awhile please note this dress is not like the linen or cotton style dresses of years past. This is so saran wrap fabric that cline in a very off way and ran so so so small. If it were the right sizing I may have worn out but I am a fan of the dresses of years past :)

GORGEOUS
This dress is gorgeous x 1000! I will rent again and am contemplating for engagement photos. The dress is stunning on and lays so pretty. I was able to not wear a bra with this and wore it a few times while on vacation. The lace is beautiful. The dress is very agreeable on an hourglass or large busted woman.

Mehhhhh no thank you
The top is stunning in color and the fabric. However, my large bust and the lay of this top did not work at all. It was not at all flattering due to the sizing and fit.

Love this dress - rent it once a month
I love this dress and rent it at least once a month. It is lovely fits well and can be worn to an array of places. It is a nice dress and fully lined. (There is no give fyi) I really enjoy it and the company makes items very friendly to women with large busts. In the warmer months I wear just the dress and in the colder months I layer it with items underneath.

Always go one size down in Trina Turk - nice shorts
Liked the shorts (not LOVED) but they were good for a day of walking around in DC. They looks nice and wore well. They are not a sheer fabric but it is lightweight for summer months. As other reviewers noted the shorts are not tight they are a bit loose fitting. I thought they looked nice but you do have to remember to order one size smaller in Trina Turk otherwise you will be swimming in the size. I may rent again but I am not rushing to do so. If you are going on vacation and need an assortment of shorts these are a good option :)

Gorgeous and very versatile
I love this dress and have rented it maybe 6 times!? It is stunning on, my family is insistent I buy it. The dress is so versatile for day to night. I love the fit, the color and the lace. I am able to wear it without a bra. It is not to snug but enough so that the bust is not too jiggly.

Love these pants! I rent the black ones over and over. They are so great for work and versatile because you can just wear different tops. I love the fabric, fit, feel and everything about these pants are just great!

Wore to Memorial Service - perfect choice
This dress was lovely and very flattering, I would rent again. The arms were a bit of an odd shape and tugging in the front near the armpit but nothing causing wild discomfort or a reason to not rent the dress. I wore the dress for a few hours in an array of rooms and temps and felt quite comfortable. I would recommend.

Looked laughable with my large bust - I would try if you are a smaller bust. I found the fabric a bit odd - not thick as another reviewer noted. It was this stretching medium weight fabric. Never wore

Too snug for my taste but beautiful dress !
I tried this on and did not wear to work because I thought it was a bit too tight for work. My partner thought the neck and straps looked off on someone with a large bust which I agreed with. The length is nice. I am a 36H so if you are a smaller bust you should try :)

Chest snug the rest of the fit is ok
I rented for work and liked the print as much as I thought I would. I did not care for the overall cut/fit of the shirt. I wore a tank top with a shelf bra. I do not thin I would have been able to fit in with a normal bra.

Didn't wear out but stunning dress :)
The fit was alright, I would absolute recommend trying but I did not end up wearing it out. The top would be best if you have a lovely bra to go with it which I did not. I typically LOVE about 75% of ML dresses and fits.

Kate Spade clothing not for me
I love all their designs but the fit is just off. I am between sizes and ordered the upper. The dress was a bit big, a bit long and my fiance and I laughed that I looked like a very conservative older school teacher. The fabric and design is beautiful but if you are on the shorter side note it will be closer to your lower calf not mid.

The beautiful rich emerald color of the dress is not at all accurately depicted in the photos of the dress. I was pleasantly surprised and it is a gorgeous color on me. The dress was heavy and flattering. It fell a little further down on my leg then the image depicts. I was quite happy with it and would rent again :)

Great weekend and dinner out dress
I rented this dress to wear over a weekend and on a date night. It was long enough I slipped leggings on under it one chilly spring evening. I would absolutely recommend renting as it is cute and not common. The print is lovely and I think the dress is versatile to a lot of weekend activities. It can be worn with or without an undershirt. The waist is not adjustable so do take that into note when renting. It also is not a stretchy dress it is best to order your size or a size above if between sizes imo.

Can't stop renting this!
I LOVE this jacket and rent it all the time (I have currently had this on for a few weeks). It is gorgeous in person, warm in weather 45 and above and just darling to wear over work or casual clothing. I have had women in NYC stop me on my way to work to say how cute this is. I would buy it if I was not currently loosing weight and changing sizes so much. Once I settle in a size I will purchase this as it is just beautiful, unique and rather timeless. It is reversible which I do not believe is stated. The other side is a navy blue with black edging but I keep it on the floral side ;)

Great dress odd fit
The dress is lovely, well made quality construction and fabric. However, with my large bust and inability to wear bras due to a current back issue it was quite unflattering with where my bust well so to say. I sent it back without wearing it. I would recommend trying it if on the fence as it is a lovely dress just didn't work well for me.

Exactly as expected
This dress was EXACTLY as expected which is so fabulous. The color and print is exactly as photographed. I wore this to work one Friday and it is pretty easy to dress up or down depending on where you are wearing it to. Please do note the dress does not have any give it is a solid but not stretchy fabric.

Great work dress
This dress is exactly as pictured. The color is a great blue tone that I do not regularly wear a little different than some other blue pieces I have in my closet. The little neck line feature is good and is not showy nor accentuates a bust which is great. I thought the dress had a great amount of space. I wear a shelf bra undershirt rather than a bra and it fit well under the dress.

Casual Friday
I rented these for a casual Friday. They were adorable with a black silk top tucked in. The pants went all the way to the floor length on me. Not dragging but not quite as short and the image leads one to believe. For sizing I prefer a little more room and went a size up (I am currently between sizes). Do take note that that fabric is linen and has little to no give. Overall, I would rent again and the print is gorgeous in person :)

Love this - have rented multiple times
This dress is a frequent work rental for me. It is just adorable, fits and and you can arrange it for any season with adding a top underneath or leggings. There is no give in the dress so I would order your size. The waist fits me well but I have an hourglass shape.

Fantastic - must rent for work/dressy Friday dinner
THIS TOP IS PERFECT! The color is so cute. The fit is marvelously loose and very comfortable for all day wear at work. I am a 36h and wore a 16 to ensure there was enough room in the bust with a shelf bra camisole underneath and it worked perfectly. I highly recommend and think it is lovely, I sized up because with my bust I like a looser fit. I love this and will rent again it is perfect with the black J Crew Cameron pants from RTR too ;)

Not very supportive
The top is not very supportive and left the books looking a little out there in the front. I did not try it with an undershirt which may change the appearance. I think if you are large busted there may be better options on RTR than this. If you are smaller busted this would work well :)

Love these
I have rented these 4-5 times and I LOVE THEM. They are the perfect weekend addition to my wardrobe. The fit I like because I do not like long to the ground jeans. These finish around my ankles which is my preferred length. The design on the bottom is stunning and is a fantastic little addition to an outfit.

Fantastic work shirt
I really like this shirt for work. I may try a size smaller as it does seem to run a little large. I am large busted and still with an undershirt had plenty of room. The shirt fits very nicely and looks sharp without being weirdly tight anywhere! I will rent this again and would recommend to anyone as a great work top.

These pants are fantastic! I love everything about them from their fit, fabric to the way they lay across my legs. I highly recommend and if I wasn't losing weight I'd buy this pair plus a few others. They run tie to size and are flattering on n hourglass shape. I wear them at the office and love them :)

Rent two sizes up!
I rented the XL and the waist was 6+ inches from zipping. The skit is as beautiful in person but the waist has no give like the rest of the skirt. I have an hourglass shape but the waist on this was so so so tiny the xl was closer to a 8. I usually wear 14/16 and this brand this size usually works for me

Large busted non perky women - not ideal
The dress is pretty and absolutely runs true to size. However if you've a large not perky chest it accentuates the shape of your chest in a not flattering manner. If someone wore a strong enough bra to lift up then this my not be an issue.

Bit tight over stomach
The pictures of the dress do not do it justice it is a very beautiful dress and the cut is very flattering for an hour glass or larger busted woman. Unfortunately the fit across the belly and hips is a bit tight. I was unable to wear it due to too much tugging across the hips but have not yet tried a larger size. I would recommend sizing up one size if you are a hourglass or more fuller hipped woman.

Unable to wear due to the form of the dress been to loose
The dress is as cute in person as the photo for color and design. Unfortunately, my complements of the dress and there. The top does not have as much structure as one with a large bust would need in order to be able to wear it. Even putting something under it it did not look like something I would feel comfortable wearing to work or otherwise. If you are a smaller size or have a smaller bust this may work. If you are a larger size, larger busted or hourglass shape the material and fit I do not think is ideal.

Love this and frequently rent
I adore this dress and frequently rent it for important workdays, interviews, nice dinners out. The shape of this dress is perfect for my hourglass shape. The design and fabric of the dress are very high-quality and just absolutely stunning on. You can easily toss a blazer on it to wear to work. You can put on a sexy pair of heels and wear it from work to a date night. I highly recommend the dress and think everyone should try it at least once!

Love this brand but not this dress
I really wanted to like this dress but once I put it on it was obvious that this was not a good choice for me. Just the overall design of the dress and coloring makes it look like a cross between a more casual wedding dress and a sailors outfit. The fit is perfect as all of her other items and vans very true to size.

Ugh
I like boyfriend cut jeans and I like slim jeans. Unfortunately this pair seems to be some awkward duck area between the two types of jeans. I really wanted to love these jeans and wear them but I just did not find them flattering nor something that I wanted to wear in public.
