Conservative enough for court with a jacket

Cute, but not extraordinary. Wore with a shorter black jacket to court.

Great for work evening event.

At 5'4" it was just an inch or so longer than I had hoped for, but overall great dress. I tried the size two and four and at 130 pounds the size four was more comfortable.

Not great for a pear shape

I really wanted to like this dress. As with most Kate Spade dresses I have worn in the past, the fit is not great for a pear shape. The shoulders were too large for me, but the hip area was too tight. I did love the fabric. I loved the piping on the dress. I felt the length was respectable enough for a good Friday service at my church.

Staple work dress

Dress was true to size, a little stretchy, and I put Spanx arm tights underneath to make it feel more wintery. Solid choice.

Great dress for work

Cute still though seemed a little snug for an A-line. Lines were nice though could have been better. Worth an unlimited rental.

I loved this dress so much! I suggest sizing up, but, I was so confident wearing it. Provides a great shape & hugs all the right places.

Great work dress

Loved this as a work dress! I can see this worn as is or with a turtleneck or button down underneath. I'm a 6/8 and found that the 6 had justtt enough room in the hips.

Great work staple, good for travel!

I love Kate Spade in general because sizing tends to be true to size (not tiny, like many luxury brands, or vanity/huge, like others). This would travel well because of the thickness of the material (not easily wrinkled). I liked the white piping detail; the only improvement would be POCKETS.

This is a cute dress- the lines make it more interesting than a standard black work dress. It wasn’t so amazing I needed to keep the dress, but it was a cute wear!

Cute details and nice length

Loved the shape and cut of this. It runs a little small, but I did okay with a 16 (sometimes I need a 16W). However, like so many tops for me, the top is cut too loose and so bras show in the armpits. I wore it with a cardigan, but that sort of ruined the lines.

Great fabric. Professional look. Fits well.

Not a super exciting dress, but good for work. I started using Unlimited...so I don't have to buy a lot of work clothing. I like to mix it up. This is a basic work dress that is comfortable and professional looking.

I should have gotten the zero but it was still a cute dress and flattering. Simple but feminine. Great for work but also transitions to going out.

Flattering and good for work

Rented this for work- was comfy (a little tight after lunch). I'm an 8 and the 8 was TTS, work appropriate length (I'm 5'3). Hearty fabric and didn't wrinkle.

Cute and comfy but weird in the bust area

This is very cute for work but even with a low-profile bra underneath, it accentuates the boob area. For some, this might be a good thing but I didn't love that feature.

Super cute

This would be an “old faithful” to me. I could wear it often for work. The zipper in the back and the waist line does get a little uncomfortable throughout the day but it was a great dress for work hit right at the knees and had a cute shape

Wore this with heels and fun earrings - great for a cocktail party! Very comfortable dress and the fit was perfect. The only thing better would be if it had pockets! Would definitely wear again.

Classic Work Dress

I needed a dress that was work appropriate for a conservative office and this fit the bill. Perfect for warm weather. I threw a blazer on top and it looked great. Solid workwear option.

Great conference dress

Went to my first in-person conference last month and got this dress cause tbh none of my pre-pandemic work dresses fit anymore (who can relate??) and glad I did. This had a great structure, was comfortable to wear (the bodice is on the tighter side and the fabric is thick and black so I skipped wearing a bra and half I did). I also liked the flattering lines on the bodice and that the neckline was workwear appropriate! Would rent again!

Nothing special about this one

The fit was fine, but it wasn't as cool in person as I had hoped. I wore it with a turtleneck underneath and it was a nice staple. But not a wow.

Overall great material dress. However, if you have hips size up. The A-line cut is a little tight in thigh area.
