Fit is true to size, very gracious for full figured girls like me! This is a "do-over!"

Easy to wear and very comfortable.  The fabirc is great for outdoor events in the summertime. 

Hi Teah! So my back-up dress to this one was the Erin Erin Fetherston Blue Sea Mist Dress. I loved it so much but just didn't have the opportunity to wear it on the wedding weekend. I saved it in my faves so hopefully I'll have another opportunity! For a more formal look, I've also rented Badgley Mischka's Midnight Glamour Dress. I was nervous about sequins but it was amazingggg!!  Hope that helps!

Are you really a size 12 or is that a typo?? You have a gorgeous shape and look like there is no way you are larger than a 4. Can I ask your waist measurement? That is my trouble area. Thanks for your help, you look stunning in that dress!!

We sound like we're almost the exact same size. I usually need a 10 (lots of 12s from RTR though), I'm 6 feet, 175 lbs, 36A-B, pear-shaped. What else have you rented that worked well for your size??

Kylie, sorry I didn't see your post in November but yes I am actually a size 12 (note that I am 6'2"!!). My waist measurement is roughly 31-32". Depending on the fit of some dress (if they are really fit and flare), I can at times where a dress in a size 6 or 8 to hug my waist and flare out at my size 12 hips. That wasn't the case with this dress though because it would have split right open at the wrap-over!! :-)

I wore this dress with nude pumps for my best friend's rehearsal/rehearsal dinner and it was perfect for Memorial Day Weekend in Atlanta (the rehearsal/dinner were really casual).  I usually wear a 12 so that's the size I rented and then got a back-up size in a 10.  I ended up wearing the 12.  The 10 fit great up top (I'm small chested - 34B) but I just felt that it was a little snug for a wrap drap.  Wearing the 12 was a good call because it gave me plenty of room and I didn't have to keep making sure that the wrap didn't come ... unwrapped in the front!  I know some of the reviews have said they were missing some of the snaps inside but I didn't have that issue at all.  I would recommend wearing a nude slip underneath (that's what I did) just in case there is a big gust of wind but other than that, this is the perfect dress!!  (So perfect in fact, after I had rented it, I found the same dress in a different pattern super on sale at Nordstrom Rack so I bought it!!  Thanks RTR for introducing me to this wonderful dress!!)

And tall girls, this dress is for you!  It came just above my knee and was perfect!  I hate when too much thigh is showing so this was perfect!

Flattering and very comfortable with Knee length hem and wrap style. Loved the pattern and ruffle. 

I wore this to my best friend's rehearsal dinner the night before her wedding (I was a bridesmaid).  I received compliments all night long, and people kept mentioning how great the colors looked on me.

I felt beautiful in the dress, and was very comfy.  There were ruffles in all the right places, so I didn't feel like I needed to suck anything in while pictures were being taken or anything.

Working the belt was a little tricky, but once I figured it out, it was fine.  There were also a number of tiny snap-buttons and loop-and-hooks that you could attach to create more coverage (such as at the cleavage), or a little more room (at the waist).

It was a cute, versatile dress in a beautiful fabric, that I could wear normal undergarments for.  I'm sold!

PROS: Beautiful, Comfy, Unique               
CONS: Tricky Belt, Wrinkles Easily (I had to steam it after I received it from RTR)

I rented this dress for a wedding that had a dress code of Garden Party attire. I wore heels to the church and then sandals at the reception and the dress still looked dressy enough. I recommend this dress. It fits perfect and is made out of great material. Since it is a wrap dress there is extra support with clasps. The second clasp kept popping so I just used fashion tape and that held the entire evening. 

The dress fit very well and I was happy to see it had a hook on the chest to minimize cleavage. The dress was slightly snug around my ribcage, likely because I'm in between a 2 - 4. I expected the dress to be slightly longer but it was a great length. The dress was very soft and comfortable and I was able to wear all my normal undergarments. 

This was my first time renting from RTR, though I've been on this site many times! I rented this Kate Spade darling fun, summery dress for a wedding shower. I rented my usual size, and a just in case size up. I was able to wear the 8, and would say it was true to size. I'm pretty tall, and the length and overall fit was very good. I loved the colors and material, on this dress, it was so easy to accessorize, and just right for this summer wedding shower. The only con I had was trying to figure out how to tie the belt, the best way possible. I kept thinking I wish I had "instructions" included, but, no big deal, it still looked fine the way I worked it out. 

I am so grateful you posted on here! I am 6'2" and am looking at wearing this dress for my best friend's rehearsal dinner (casual). I hope my experience with this dress is as good as yours!

I wore this dress to a shower the day before my wedding.  It was perfect for the occasion and looked great in photographs.  I am very tall so I appreciated the longer length.  My only complaint is that it could have used another button below the belt to keep the skirt from opening up.  

I got this dress for my son's 8th grade graduation in SoCal. I wanted something different than the usual black dress. I usually wear a size 4/6 depending on how a dress runs.  After reading several reviews I chose to go with the 6.  I wanted the 8 as my second size, but it was not available, so I went with 10 hoping it would just drape a little more.  Unfortunately the 10 was too big in the arm/sleeve area and you could see my bra.  The 6 was pretty true to size, although I think the 8 would have fit me better in my rib cage area.  I have a wide rib cage and a small bust 36A.  The dress buttons on either side of the wrap, which is helpful keeping the dress on you, it was a little snug around my upper rib cage. The clasp on the top was sewn on the wrong side of the dress, so I just pinned it.  I also ironed the sash and ruffles on the top so they fell and stood up a little bit.  After having the dress on it loosened up a bit around my rib cage and it was comfortable.   My only complaint with the dress is it is not a true wrap in the sense of a wrap dress. There is a waist to the dress that falls below your breast area.  I would have liked to wrap the sash allowing it fall on my actual waist. It takes a little playing around with the sash and ruffles, but overall the dress felt soft and it was great to wear.  I'm 5' 8" and the dress fell a little bit above my knee. I had several compliments and overall was very pleased with my choice.  The colors are pretty vibrant as you can see from my photos and it's a dress that you can dress up or dress down.  It's cute with heels and flip flops.  I love Kate Spade and would definitely wear this dress again.

Dress fits true to size. Very comfortable, but watch out for wind! 

This was my first RTR experience. The dress is definitely true to size and fit perfectly. I am a consistent size 2. I am only 5'2 and the length was great - just above the knee. I wore this to a bridal shower with some nude wedges and gold jewelry. My only reason for deducting 1 star is because the dress arrived with a water-type stain right in the middle - I didn't even notice it immediately. The hook at the bust is also loose and mangled so I had to use a safety pin. Overall I recommend this dress... will rent again in the other color!

I am usually  not a fan of wrap dresses.  for some reason they do not work for me.  Overall, i thought this dress looked good but I have rented dresses that looked better.  In true kate spade quality - the material is eye catching and fun;  the snaps and design of the dress is comfortable.  BUT do not wear this on a windy day.  The front flap kept blowing open.  If I owned the dress i would have added another snap at the bottom.  Otherwise it was great.   had a better photo but was too large to upload.  sorry

Beautiful colors and terrific length. For larger busted ladies like myself it was a bit difficult to manage. The clasp smashed my chest down in an unflattering way and leaving it open left little to the imagination. Overall I liked it. I would rent again. 

Overall I was happy with the fit, it was a good length, which was one of my biggest concerns at 5'2" with calves that look large and stumpy if the dress is at the wrong length.
I wanted to 'forgive' a 3 month post partum belly & hips while being able to easily feed my son, and this worked out great!
I'm already planning to rent this same dress in the purple pattern available!

The fit was good.  It is a wrap dress and we were on a dinner cruise that got pretty windy and I was pinching the dress together with my legs as I did a marilyn monroe at one point.  Just a FYI.  Dress was tight at the smallest point (a line) but not uncomfortable.  Worn with nude heels and earrings & bag from RTR.

I loved the vibrant colors and classic wrap lines. Although the dress was tight throughout the bust, the ruffles hid a bit of the "peeking" that occurred in that area. 

I wore this to my graduation and I got lots of compliments! I ordered a 0 and a 2, and ended up wearing the 0. Since it is a wrap style dress I would say the fit is a little larger. It was flattering, I loved the below knee length which made it appropriate for the occasion, and it was super comfortable. The only problem I had was the bottom staying wrapped, especially when I sat down, the bottom would open and I would have to hold one side of the skirt over my lap. But overall a great find!

Great dress for a summer wedding! I wish the ruffle looked like it does on the model. It's much flatter once you have the dress on.
