Small No Stretch
In the other review pictures, I thought the ruching on the front meant there was some elasticity going on, but it was a tight 18 with zero stretch and I’m usually a 16. It didn’t zip over my hips. Gorgeous color and pattern, but very small and not a safe bet for a voluptuous lady on my same level

Omfg I feel amazing
Thick material, genius construction - I like to emphasize my waist and boobs and this gorgeous pink dress does exactly the trick! The color is beautiful and the sleeves actually stay poofed. I almost NEVER go braless, but this dress knows what it’s doing - and with some bra tape knowhow, I could wear it all day to a wedding. No pockets, but we can’t all be perfect. This dress helps me understand why some dresses cost $400. I almost don’t want to write this review bc I don’t want the good word getting out. 10/10 would kate spade again

Way too small
No stretch, too small. Some strings of the lovely embroidery are dangling off, as you might expect with a rented, well traveled dress. I hope to rent it again in a larger size

Looks even better in person!
This dress is high quality with a nice lining. Very flattering in where it hit my waist and how the thick fabric…I don’t know the fashion terms, but the people who made this knew what they were doing with pleats and whatnot. I wore this with sneakers to work on Purple Friday and it was a hit

Too big, didn’t wear
As a plus size girl in a slender world, sometimes I wear something that’s a 3x. However this was enormous on me, I hope to get the 1x when it’s available, bc the quality of the fabric is beautiful and I want to be a fairy princess.

So comfortable
I wore this to accept an award from work and it was excellent. The top part is stretchy, though the sleeves hit me at an awkward place. The skirt is lovely with its green color and golden embroidery. It’s very forgiving without looking like it’s trying to be. Pockets + many compliments
