Stunning statement!
Wore these to my rehearsal dinner! They were beautiful and looked great. A little heavy but I would have worn then anyway on a special occasion!

Looks great for the office, a conservative style that still gives shape and personality. It was a very comfortable size, gave me a great shape.

So Cute!
I love Kate Spade, and this dress is no different! The shape of the dress was great, gave me that slim waist with the pleated skirt hiding my tummy issues. It was a flirty length, just above the knee on me (I'm 5' 4") and of course the back was the best part-the double straps with the bow center back. I also loved the color, bright and cheery! Would rent again!

Simple and Sexy
This dress draps beautifully. I'm 5' 4" and it was nearly floor length on me. The straps were too long on my petite torso so I had to pin them back to keep them from falling off my shoulders. The dress fit fine in the hips and waist but was big in the chest so I ended up putting in some pads to fill it out. But it was simple elegance, very comfortable and looked lovely!

Classic Glamour!
I loved this dress! The ruffle is feminine and flirty! I'm 5'4" so this dress is much more of a midi length on me but was fine. The darts and waist shaping makes it a very flattering silhouette. Comfortable and effortless!

Classic Beauty
This is a flattering and comfortable wrap dress! I loved the print and the classic silhouette. It was comfortable and looks great on a variety of body types. Heads up that it is a true wrap, with 1 tie strap looped through the side of the dress, I double knotted the bow for security because the fabric was a little slippery. I wore a clip on bra cover up on top for coverage so it was a more conservative look appropriate for work. Also because of the true wrap structure, the skirt has a lot of movement and can end up showing a lot of leg/thigh with wind or intense movement.

Baby Shower Perfection!
I wore this (Not pregnant!) to host my Sister in Law's baby shower! I LOVED this dress! The pockets were a plus, the print was beautiful for summer or spring! I really liked the neckline ruffles and the waist which flattered my figure. Only issue was the lining was a little bunchy under the skirt so it appeared very voluminous when I was sitting. But the dress was very comfortable, kept me cool in the Southern summer heat!

Not quite right
The neck line was much wider than I anticipated and I didn't have a strapless bra to wear with it so I set it aside and traded it in for another look.

Knit not flattering
I had high hopes for this dress up alas they were dashed when I put it on! The size I ordered fit fine but with the dress being knit type stretchy fabric my little belly was the first thing I noted. It stuck out and the structure of the dress was not enough to hide or minimize it.

Figure Flattering and Professional!
I've worn garments from this brand before and never been disappointed. I wore an 8 but probably could have sized down to a 6. The top was pretty, a nice asymmetrical drape that accentuated my waist without being too revealing or sexy! A great option for work or professional setting as well as a modest option for going out or a cocktail event. Highly recommend!

Elegant classic!
A beautiful, timeless fit and flare dress! This is perfect for summer time with it's cheerful butter yellow tones, the neck line keeps it modest and work appropriate by the lovely fit and flare skirt gives interest and movement to the garment. A very flattering cut!

Too small, 80s sleeves!!!
I was probably overly ambitious in ordering a size 6, but honestly after trying it on I'm not sure a size 8 would have cut it either. Additionally, the tops of the sleeves were VERY puffy, 80s-esque and looked ridiculous in my opinion! Couldn't wear this piece b/c it was too small! The color and cut/structure was pretty but just didn't work for me. Sized up 1 or 2!

A beautiful basic piece!
I like the structure and shape of this top! It's a really nice staple piece because it can go with nearly any bottoms-skirts, pants, ect. I have really muscular arms/shoulders so the sleeves were a bit tight on me but the fabric overall has some stretch to it which is nice, and makes it very comfortable to wear. The color was nice too, a nice neutral off white/cream. I usually wear a small, got a M and felt it was a bit snug but I also realize that's pretty common among designer clothing brands. I probably would have purchased it but the bust darts hit me too low and didn't look flattering. In summary-nice piece, looks good, goes with anything, wears comfortably!

Perfect for Spring/Summer! Lightweight, flowy, beautiful floral print!
I wore this for my bridal shower-a tea party-and it was perfect!! The fabric is soft and lightweight but the dress is lined and I had no issues with undergarments peeking through. The skirt was flowy, with beautiful movement. Be aware that this is a true wrap dress, not a faux wrap so you do need to thread the tie through to keep the dress together. I had no issues with it, the tie stayed securely but I did end up wearing a tank underneath for a little more coverage which is my preference. Since it must be tied around the waist, take that into account when choosing your size! The sleeves were also cute, ruffled cap sleeves that were very nice! Loved it, would rent again!

This dress was beautiful and elegant, gave a beautiful shape to my body and made me feel glamorous!
So an important note is that the "keyhole" at the top of the dress is actually a split that runs the full length of the bodice. I didn't realize this when I ordered it but it was an easy fix once I secured it with some double sided fashion tape. I prefer a conservative neckline and the top was a bit loose on me so I didn't want to risk flashing anyone on the dance floor! Other than than the drape and cut of the dress was gorgeous! It really gave me a beautiful shape and looked elegant without a lot of extra bling! Loved it, would definitely wear it again!
