Plaid but not Mad

Love this dress for a hot summer day. Adjustable straps and bodice is structured and lined, so no bra necessary

Vibrant hue, love it

I love this dress, one of my favs from Kate Spade. It’s a bit tight on the bust I don’t know if it was because of the fact that I was pregnant or it was supposed to be like that so you have some cleavage showing. The zipper wasn’t very smooth but overall was great! I would buy it if I weren’t pregnant. I wore 0, which is my regular size before pregnancy, going up a size could probably help.

One of my favorites!

I loved wearing this dress. It was a little tight in my boobs, but I didn’t mind. It was well made and comfortable. Lots of compliments.

Screams summer

This dress is just fun. It’s perfect for summer. The material was a little heavier than I expected, so it wasn’t as cool on a hot day as I had hoped. But the colors just make you stand out and feel happy. I do caution that this runs small on the top. I’m a 12 and the 16 was just fine. The 14 may have worked fine, too.

A great spring party dress!

I really liked this dress and got a lot of compliments on it. It has built in padding and boning so I didn’t need to wear a bra with it. It is a little long for short gals, but I just paired it with some heels and was good to go!

The color!

The color was so beautiful and vibrant. I really appreciated the adjustable straps to get that perfect fit. The zipper was a bit fiddly to get up all the way but it fit like a glove.

This dress was perfect for afternoon tea. However, the straps on this dress were annoying and hard to adjust.

Incredible, vibrant knockout

Beautiful dress, tons of compliments, rocked it with color block vans to dress down, it was a tad bit cool that nyc day so I paired it witha crop sweater, looked great with or without. Could also be paired with a denim jacket, overall amazing.

Adorable, impeccably made dress

I wore this to go see Barbie and felt comfy AND fancy. The straps didn't stay up super great but the dress has enough structure built in that I didn't need a bra. The zipper was a little sticky/flimsy but I got it to work. The ruched/elastic back makes the fit forgiving. I love this dress.

Cutest summer dress. Fit me like a glove! Didn’t need to wear a bra with was great. I could see it being an issue for girls with a larger chest so do your review research if that’s you!

No Bra Required!

This dress is very pretty. The colors are great and I loved the length and ruffle at the hem. The material is a little wrinkly by design, which made this great to pull out of a suitcase and wear to dinner. Best part is that I didn’t need a bra, which is NEVER the case for me. The dress is tight in the chest with a side zipper, but it has a smocked elastic back so it should work with most sizes. It also has barely noticeable cups in the chest and adjustable straps. I did have lots of cleavage in this dress, so it would not work for all occasions, but it was great for a date night dinner.

Perfect daytime dress!

Great fit, tts. Very breezy and lightweight fabric. The top has removable pads/lining so no need to wear a bra! If you are unsure on sizing, I would recommend sizing up one size!

Great pattern, chest area was awkward

I wanted to love this but the chest area was just off on me. I’m 40B and it was hard to find a bra that wouldn’t show due to the cut at the top. Otherwise, it was cute and fun.
