Perfect for Halloween

Wore this dress to a women's luncheon the day before Halloween and felt festive and polished. I did have to pin the fabric between the buttons across my chest. The buttons are widespread so gaping is inevitable.

SO CUTE

Such a cute and flattering dress!! I got so many compliments on it and felt so good in it that I just had to buy it! Definitely recommend. I usually wear a size 10 in dresses and ordered a medium, which fit perfectly.

Adding to the work rental rotation

Kate spade makes a great work dress! I was a little worried i wouldn’t love the stripes that it would be too busy but i really loved this dress. Was flattering and comfortable. Overall fit great and I would say I probably sized up in this to accommodate by 16 week bump.

I don’t think the picture does this justice, this one looked so elegant and easy on. Really perfect for looking so put together in the summer with minimal effort.

It’s giving classic beauty with a touch of beetlejuice

I love this dress! Flattering and classic. It is a LOT of fabric and a bit heavier than expected. Tons of compliments. Will rent again!!

Beetlejuice Chic

Kate Spade never fails at a novelty dress. Very 50’s housewife style silhouette with the black & white stripes. Perfect for a football, circus or Halloween event. I added tall boots and a witch hat to walk around trick or treating. I did have to pin the chest as the buttons were far a part and had gaps. The chest did run a bit snug but that’s normal for Kate Spade IMO

Beetlejuice gone wrong

There is way too much fabric in the bottom of the dress. I love a tent dress, but this is not good.

Cute but interesting perceptions of others

I thought it was cute and my boyfriend made the connection between the classic jail uniforms, which didn’t bother me. I thought that was playful and then he said that motif also reminds him of concentration camps and he said neither are good. 🎤 drop… Well, I won’t be wearing it again.

Oversized Tent

This style dress is quite oversized, and takes a lot of ironing to get wrinkles out! I felt just a tad matronly wearing it to work, but also bold since this pattern is so striking. The belt gave my waist some shape but I still felt swallowed up in this piece.

Absolutely a favorite for work or daily life

I couldn't get enough of this. Only issue is that the chest was a little too small for my bust so when I'd sit down it would stretch out

Ran very large - lots of fabric in the dress so def. size down. The black and white stripes make it easy to wear with any pop of color. Wore multiple times and would buy!

So flattering! Lovely cut

This is SO flattering. The only issue is tightness in the chest, which is a perennial problem for me - I can't button this up all the way because it's too tight in the chest. I unbuttoned it a bit and was sure to wear a slip that looks ok showing a bit up at the top. Still love this piece - thinking of purchasing.

Large spacing between buttons

This dress is super cute but there the spacing between buttons is really long so if you are big chested the space between buttons at the top creates a large gap. I used fashion tape to solve for it, which worked, but just be aware.

On the fence about the stripes

Loved the style and fit of this dress. Loved the pockets. Was not 100% on the stripes. I got comments on Beetlejuice and Prisoner of Azkaban. I wore it twice, but I think this is not a long term for me. Wish I could find it in other colors because the volume was awesome and the shirt dress styling was great and comfortable for work.

Great Silhouette

As with most Kate Spade dresses, it runs large, so I sized down. I'm normally a four and the extra small fit nicely, just a touch tight in the chest but not bad. I loved the sleeves! Didn't realize how nice they were from the photos. This would be 5 stars if the print were different. I felt a little "jailbird" ;)
