All of the yes

This dress had me looking and feeling expensive. I tried on a whim, not something I would ever wear but am so happy I decided to rent it! It was so flattering and I received so many compliments the many times I wore it

Easter 🤩

I was nervous to rent the dress because it looked like it was a tight fitting style, and I do not have the best figure for that. The detail on this dress is very flattering and allows people like me to be able to pull this off if you’re debating renting it, I suggest you do.

Retro and timely dress

I paired it with red patent leather heels and I felt like a chic Dorothy from wizard of oz. It's very comfortable and flattering. I wore it to two different work related events and got lots of compliments .

Red polka dots for the win!

So many complimented! I'm between 8 and 10, and went the bigger size because of the brand. Second time renting because I can't get enough of the compliments

Very flattering and fitting in the torso.

There’s not much give in this dress but it’s super flattering. I received a lot of compliments from my clients that day and I felt feminine & confident. Easy wear and no pockets.

Derby party

Perfect dress for a derby party. Fit well, maybe slightly large on the top (I am pear shaped) and comfortable. I don’t have full length photos but it was a good length for me at 5’8”. Looked great with red heels and fascinator. Received multiple compliments.

Classy, flowy dress

I felt great in this dress! The length is very classy/professional, the fabric was pretty thick for a flowy dress. Has a good structure, and feels well made.

Comfy, flowing, but eye catching dress thanks to the shoulder details and fun colors. Wasn’t sure I’d like it until I tried it on! True to size for Kate Spade.

Loved it!

Comfortable, with some stretch/give. I wore it at 19 weeks pregnant to my sister-in-law’s baby shower. It is hard for me to say if it is true to size since my size is not my usual baseline right now. But I would guess it fits true to size. I received lots of compliments on it! And was comfortable to wear all day.

Adorable up top! Spanx on bottom

The detail on the top of this dress is perfection. I could probably have sized down. The fabric isn’t the most forgiving and definitely spanx to smooth out my bottom half. I loved this and would rent again.
