Easy to wear to work

Beautiful dress with a full skirt that was very flattering. Great length (I am 5'9"). Sleeves are long but can be pushed up.

Perfect dress!

I loved this dress, the cut is super flattering on a pear shape like mine. I love the subtle high low hemline. The pattern is pretty and the fabric doesn't wrinkle. I normally wear a 10 and this is a 12. It fit but I put runs small and I feel it fits like a 10. I would rent this again. Great for curvy figures.

So many compliments!

This is the perfect work dress, conservative on the top but not too long in length where it doesn't feel fun. Got so many compliments. The fit is just right, could be a teeny bit larger but still fits like a glove.

Runs small for Kate Spade, especially across bust

This dress has an awesome print and I got a ton of compliments on it. It runs true to size, which is running a little small for Kate Spade- I'm usually a 6/8 in other brands and a 4/6 in Kate Spade, but this 4 was really right across the chest (which isn't usually a problem for me).

Do you think I have enough fun in my rentals?

I was so excited to wear this dress to work. Easy to just pull on. The print is so pretty - I'm obsessed it's this color palate. Would rent again and again!

People say they look forward to seeing what I am wearing on all my video conference calls :) Wore with black tights and black booties. Swingy, simple. Will be investigating more of this brand because the fit was perfect!

Standard Kate Spade work dress. Nice quality, color, and wrinkle free fabric. A tiny bit matronly, but overall figure flattering and great for a day of meetings.

Love!

I want to keep this dress! So comfortable and pretty. I am usually a size 2 in Kate Spade but I got the 4 because sometimes the buttons gape across the chest. The 4 was perfect.

Fits exactly like the Foxes Smocked Dress

I rented this for work. It was cute and flattering. I rented another KS a few weeks ago that fit identically. Buttons in the front that are a bit difficult to button and have a little gaping. The way it fits around the chest is very flattering. Professional length. Cute pattern. The under color is a pinkish-purple. Then there is a bubble like pattern of blueish and navy. There is also some green spots. No lining. The sleeves were a bit short on me.

Perfect work dress

Made my waist look tiny and my boobs big, what more could you ask for! A little hot for 80 degree weather my mistake. Also the buttons on the top do gap a little which is unusual for my chest but nothing crazy

Comfortable stretchy dress with a great fit and perfect length. The skirt is so flattering. Had to undo a few top buttons and wear an undershirt because my girls are big but still looks appropriate.

Cute details for a work dress

The back of this dress is the cutest part--the smocking is super flattering. Overall nice tailoring. The background of the print is actually purple, which is so unique. Great dress for the office or a "buttoned up" occasion.

Cute dress!

Very cute dress for work. A little on the short side for me at 5'10. The entire fitted part of the back is elasticized, which I didn't realize. It made the dress comfortable but a little more casual.

Easy to wear, fun spring dress

Super comfortable but vibrant look. The upper back of the dress is stretchy fabric so it adjusted to your specific size nicely. Thick fabric so nice for a slightly cool day, I would imagine in summer this dress would be too warm. Loved the pattern. Definitely a dress you can throw on and not worry about all day, while still looking cute.

Feels like a maternity dress

I wore this to work and got lots of compliments, but I felt like it was a maternity dress! I think that the smocking in the back has the unfortunate consequence of making the front fit too snugly. It wasn't so bad that there was a gap, but I felt like it was pulling a bit. I felt like the dress was more flattering from the side than the front. I did like the print at least; nice, light colors for summer. For reference, I usually wear a 2 or 4 depending on the brand (4 in KS) and a 32D

The print is cute, but this dress runs small in the chest and just isn't all that flattering.

Smocking unforgiving of back fat and sticks to behind

I had my eye on this dress and saw it on a woman who was running around at a benefit luncheon, who looked cute in it but who said she ordered a size up to make room for the girls, even with the smocked back. Rented first chance I could and was so disappointed. My back fat was super pronounced with the smocking, even with a Spanx smoothing bra. I salvaged the look by wearing with a navy blazer and heels and a green lapel pin (yes, there are small species of green in the dress). Then the second problem arose - every time I stood up from my chair to object in court, the skirt was wedged in my butt and thighs (even with full coverage undies) for all of the gallery to see, so I was constantly tuggIng at the behind. It was super distracting and kept me from staying focused on the task at hand. If you’re standing all day, great. Otherwise, too fussy. I took it off the second I left court and sent it back.

Love Pattern: Runs Large

I absolutely love all the patterns of Kate Spade dresses. This was the case with this long sleeve blue patterned dress. My only critique is that it ran way large. It's smocked in the back so I probably could have gone 2 sizes down .

Very tight in the bust

This dress is very tight in the bust - the buttons were difficult to do and undo. Though there is elastic at the back, there was a gaping hole in the front. I am pretty flat chested! Material more suitable for spring. Unfortunately will have to send back.

I do not understand what went wrong here

I really don't know if there was something wrong with the garment I got or if I just really got the size wrong but I couldn't wear this, the back was huge like a cape. I typically run closer to 16 in kate spade sizing but this was wildly too big.
