Perfection I didn't Expect

I rented this on the advice of my 13 year old niece. Never in a million years did I think I'd actually like it. It was PERFECT. Fit well, nice length, perfect style for a Latin Themed party.

Awkward fit

I have some mixed feelings on this one. I LOVED the pattern and the colors but it bunched up around the waist a lot and it was super thick and hot for a summer wedding. I got a lot of compliments but I feel like I look weird in all the photos.

so cute, got lots of compliments

wore this dress to a wedding, the fabric doesn't have much give but it fit me perfectly in a size 6 (5' 5" and 140/145 lbs) - it was unique and comfortable and would recommend!

This dress is perfect!

I wore this to a work gala and have never received so many compliments. The cut and material are super flattering. I’m 6’ and 175 pounds and the size 10 fit perfectly, and came just below my knees.

Such an elegant dress

Wore this dress to a summer wedding. It was absolutely gorgeous and fits well. I’d recommend getting your exact size and ordering a backup of 1 size bigger just in case. The backup was too big for me.

In-between sizes, nothing works

This brocade dress is a bit sparkly but elegant. Unfortunately it just doesn't work for a petite/pear-shaped me. A Kate Spade 2 usually works for me, but this style just doesn't suit (neither 2 nor 4).

Gorgeous But Runs Very Small

I am between a 14 and 16 right now, and in Kate Spade dresses I usually take a 14 so I thought this one would work for me. Alas, I couldn't even zip it up past my hips. Very sad about that because it's GORGEOUS. Stunning color and I love the gold metallic touches. Gave it a 4 for how gorgeous it was on the rack and dinged one star since I couldn't wear it. Wishing it came in a 16.

Fun dress

I loved the color. The arm holes were a bit big and showing my bra, but that's probably because of my chest size.

Gorgeous Pattern That Garners Compliments

I usually take a size 8 in Kate Spade, but sized up to a 10 and it just fit, but was tight, especially in the hips and chest. Beware- there is NO GIVE to this dress. I think it would look better on someone taller and thinner. That being said, I wore it for a Summer Shimmer and Shine party and the vibe was perfect. I did get compliments, I just didn't think it was a flattering fit for my body (even with spanx!).

Beautiful fabric!! Runs small in the hips

If you carry any weight in your hips I would suggest to size up! The top fit very well but through the hips it was tight.
