Runs true to my other Kate Spade dress -- the 10 was perfect, the 12 too large up top.  
Gorgeous dress -- the material is stunning and crisp, the cut is flattering and comfortable, and the neckline is spectacular.  And, POCKETS no less.  Several strangers came up to me to ask "who's dress is that?"  I'd rent it again in a heartbeat.   

I felt like a million dollars, received so many compliments on this dress.  There is a lot of volume in the skirt, so if that is not something you're looking for, just know it has a lot of volume there.  I love the accents across the chest, didn't require a lot of extra jewelry.  I keep looking back to buy this dress through RTR, I love it!! One this is that I wore a size 2 (I have a small ribcage), the four was slightly too large and the size 2 was a little snug across my chest.  I wished there was an in between size. But still. I loved this dress!!!
My measurements are 5'9", 32D, 135-140lbs, athletic/hourglass build. 

I wore this to a wedding. I loved the neckline and the fit and flare style was pretty. The dress was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments. The only issue is that the front poofs out much more than the picture shows. It almost looked like it could be a maternity dress. Despite that, I did not regret my decision to wear it. 

I wore this as a wedding guest and received SO many compliments. The dress is well-fitted through the waist and has the cutest flared skirt. Would definitely recommend! 

Overall, the dress fit well, it just runs small in the ribcage area. Love, love the pockets! I didn't require much more than simple pearl earrings and a bracelet to tie this outfit together because there is so much detail at the top of the dress. Would wear again. 

The dress runs small, and though I normally wear a 0 or a 2, the 2 barely zipped.  It was still very comfortable, but be aware that has no stretch.  The dress hit me at my knees on my 5'2'' frame, and the poof of the skirt was fun.  I would rent again! 

This dress was so beautiful! I love the beaded neckline, didn't really have to wear any jewelry. I rented the size 4 and it was a bit tight in the chest but I made it work. The full skirt has beautiful pleats and the little bow details on the back is adorable. Got lots of compliments army friends wedding and would totally rent again!

The fit of this dress was definitely more snug in the rib cage than I expected. Both the 8 and the 10 had gapping at the arms so I had to go with the 10 to get it zipped. I loved the jeweled neckline, the detail in the fabric and the bow and open detail in the back. This is defiantly a statement dress without being over the top. Perfect for an evening wedding that's not formal. 

Fits tight across the bust which is why I wore the 6 instead of the 4, but super comfortable and looks great on! It also has pockets which is fun!

Loved this dress so much! I will probably rent it again... 

So many compliments and I felt amazing in it! 

I wore for my son's baptism. 

Deep navy blue was the touch of class and elegance I was looking for. The neckline beading was the icing on the cake and I paired it with silver drop pears from my own collection. I received many compliments and felt at ease all night despite all that I ate! I am a 34D and would not have been able to comfortably fit any more of myself into the bodice. Still had room to breath and ample room to raise my arms for dancing. I wore to an outdoor ceremony in June and it was a little heavy but not too bad, but I would not recommend for a full outdoor wedding in the summer. Would rent again if the occasion arose.

Loved this dress, very good quality and very classy. I received many compliments.  My only problem was that it was very tight fitting around the ribs and barely got the side zipper zipped up.  I normally wear size 8/10.  I ended up wearing the size 10, but the next size up would be best if you have a broad Rib cage.

I rented this dress for my wedding rehearsal and it was perfect! It is such a beautiful & unique dress! It was also comfortable to wear all night. 

The dress fit perfectly It had pockets, which made it perfect for working an event. I got compliments from people all night - including people who work galas for a living! You can definitely tell the quality. Some of the beading was missing, but not noticeable. The dress was so comfortable and fit like a glove. I tried different kinds of earrings, thought that drop pearls would nicely reflect the top, but it was a bit much. Just went with pearl studs and a simple, sparkly, thin bracelet, and silver pumps. I'm already renting it again for a formal wedding this fall!

This dress is very elegant. From the beading to the classic style and full skirt, it is comfortable and classy!

Three things to touch on. As others have mentioned, the detail of the beading is hard to see in pictures. To help others better prepare for shoes and accessories, the beading has pearls and gold and iridescent beading. I wore navy patent heels, but you could go with gold or a brushed silver as well. 

There is a side zipper. When I first was trying it on I couldn't figure out why the dress would not even go over my head. The side zipper is very subtle and you really have to look for it. Obviously once I discovered the zipper, I was able to get into the dress comfortably. 

The dress runs small in the bust. I am petite (5'2", 120 lbs) but am a 34 DDD. So I usually size up in dresses to accommodate my chest. I am really glad I did when picking my back up because there really is no give in that area of this dress. As long as you take this into consideration if you have an ample chest (or wide back), you should be fine. 

Loved this dress and would definitely recommend it!

I'm busty, so it was a bit tight on top, but not uncomfortably so.  The pockets were amazing.  The opening in the back wasn't too low- I could still wear a regular bra.  The extreme flare definitely makes the dress stand out (literally and figuratively), but it isn't too much.  It was perfect for a wedding with really great food because I could eat everything I wanted and not feel self-conscious.  I wish I owned it, honestly. 

I love this dress on the hanger, but I couldn't even zip it up. I'm a pretty solid 8, which is what I rented. I would have gotten a backup 10, but none were available. I'm sending this back unworn. 

Very flattering silhouette, loved the intricate beading at the neckline. Fit was true to size for the most part although a little tight in the rib cage.
