Bright & stunning

Love this dress! Perfect fit and comfortable. Material is lightweight and the tie detail accentuates your waist beautifully. The colors are so vivid. This is a fabulous dress for travel. I'd love to wear this sightseeing in a European city.

Gorgeous colors, unique print

Loved this dress!!! Hid my midsection perfectly well. I will say - if you have a larger chest (like me), it's not quite as flattering. But is anything? Wore twice - once with nude heels and another with white tennis shoes for a more casual look.

Fits TTS- great if you're tall. Adds a fun splash of color that still reads work appropriate. Got lots of compliments

Fun and unique

Not normally my color palette, but it was bright and fun. It felt a bit disco or 80s to me. Sue to the wrap waist tie, it probably fits on a variety of sizes. Definitely would look a little nicer on someone taller, but I got many compliments!

Perfectly long for tall women, flowy, and comfortable. Can tie the sash in front or back for different looks. My favorite rental yet.

Unique print and flowy fit

I was afraid this would look baggy, but it was a great conference dress for travel. Easy to wear, beautifully designed with patterned ties. The keyhole may gap a bit but was easy to reset. Compliments abounded!

Fit Perfectly. Wish I could buy!!!

I tried on in the Kate Spade outlet in March and wanted it but was unemployed it only cost $119 there and I went back once I had babysat and had the $$$ to get it and it was sold out. I was heartbroken. As soon as I saw it here I knew I had to rent it. Heartbroken that it isn't cheaper to keep. I would keep if it was the same price it had been at the outlet. I HAVENT WORN YET BUT WILL TO DINNER THIS WEEKEND!!! Sure to get compliments. Photo of me trying on at outlet store!

Great Work Dress

My photos out of the box - no shape undergarments, or heels. I worn this dress a lot. I have big breasts and usually clothes look better without a bra, this dress needs the bra for the top to look right. I really enjoyed this dress, Highly recommend

Pretty with retro colors

Sorry my pic is terrible but the colors are kind of 70s, in the best way possible. Like all Kate Spade this runs huge, but since it ties that doesn’t really matter (and the tie is long enough to either wrap once to make a bow in the back or wrap another time to tie in the front, which is how I did it). I do wish it wasn’t quite as long - I’m 5’6” and it was just about to my ankles. It’s really pretty though, and very flattering.

Very pretty dress for tall women

I had lots of compliments in this dress all day long at work. I paired it with red suede pumps. I decided to wrap it around and then tie it in front because I things tied in the back are uncomfortable when you are sitting. I’m usually a 10/12, ordered the 10, but I probably could have ordered an 8. It runs large, but the ties allow you to make it bigger or smaller as needed.

I love the pattern of this dress. Looked a tiny bit frumpy on my frame/shape, but not enough to keep me from rocking it.

Just Eh

I enjoyed the pop or color and print but I felt the fit was a little frumpy. This is partly on my end because I wore the dress with the tie in the front and not the back (I didn't realize this until later in the day). It was comfortable and easy to throw on.

Too conservative

Yeah no… I didn’t feel very beautiful in this dress. The pattern wasn’t wowing me despite the felines on the bottom. If you aren’t looking to disguise anything… skip this dress.

Pop of color

Cute dress, that's easy to wear and makes you feel very special! Loved the draping to adjust it to my waist (I size up but I think it wasn't necessary). Sooo it still worked out for me. Great for Christmas or dates.

Beautiful Dress

Fit my 14/16 bod in a very flattering way. Got tons of compliments and felt beautiful and unique. The tigers on the bottom are a wonderful detail. The wrap around part worked great - sometimes that makes me look bigger around the middle than I like but this worked out fine. Wore it to a dinner party and celebration at work - gave a welcome in it and was featured in it for a community article.

Color, style, and head turning.

I absolutely loved this Kate Spade dress. I rented a larger size, since my size wasn't in stock. A bit big but still worked. Super comfortable to wear all day. Didn't need a special bra. It is very lightweight, wore in the winter and had plenty of room for warm tights and a warm liner shirt. Rent this dress if you love some color in your life.

This dress was on the Mannequin in the Prudential Kate spade for months - it felt good wearing it knowing I could send it back in a couple days. Nice material. Midi is good for a girl over 5'7

Stand out from the sea of black

Love the uniqueness of this dress. The print is wonderful, the waist and top are interesting, the skirt is fun to have longer in the fall/winter, and the overall dress is super flattering. You could wear this dressed up or down. I went for a more classic work look with navy heels.

Not your average work dress

Great dress for work - especially if you're tall. This is probably best for spring or fall. I have navy tights but was hard-pressed to find the right shoes to wear with the the tights. It was definitely a little chilly for cold temps.

The Cat's Meow! (I am sorry)

This is quite possibly my favorite rental to date! (And I have rented a TON through RTR Unlimited.) I crossed the ties in front and tied it in the back, which works splendidly. It is absolutely gorgeous and comfortable. So many random strangers have complimented it. It's a little fancy for work, but the whimsical print (love the jaguars) makes it less so. It would be appropriate for any number of occasions!

Rent it now! Beautiful dress

This dress was amazing. I got comments from every person who saw me at work. It fits perfectly. The cutout in the front is very understated and very few people noticed it. The length is great- I wore 3 inch sandals with it. Sleeves are great. I would say size up if you are big in the chest, so the hole doesn't gaps too much. It is so flattering. My husband loved it too!!

The pattern is compliment grabbing!

This dress fits to size and is comfortable. I tied my bow at the back which was kind of annoying when seated, but you can tie in the front so not a big deal. People loved the tiger print at the bottoms of the dress.

Retro vibe...

This is a beautiful dress with a bit of a retro feel due to it's cut. It is very long and full, which i loved but I would caution anyone who is petite to think about the proportions before they rent it. It was very comfortable for a day at the office but I would highly recommend it for many occasions.
