I love the designs and would buy them if they offered them with longer hems. I like all my dresses to hit at the knee or just below, and Kate Spade dresses all look too short.

Hmm. I find that the dresses are quite modest in length (running around 38-40" in length), but the skirts are awfully short (usually around 19" in length).

Maybe it's the really tall models! :D The modelling photos always look like they are quite a bit shorter.

Your dress looks amazing -- its perfect for summer!! :)

I really like the way KS clothes look online, but I've never actually tried them in person... How do they fit? (compared to say, JCrew?) I keep meaning to try a piece or two from her collection, but the prices seem a bit high, and then my size always sell out ASAP whenever anything goes on sale... :(

Thanks xoespresso!

I agree that the prices are really high for Kate Spade clothing. I always get pieces when they are marked down at least 50% or more, but then sizes often run out.

In regards to size, I think some of her stuff seems to fit small, especially skirts and dresses (compared to J. Crew which fits large IMO). On the other hand, her shirts and blouses seem to run a little large. You really have to try stuff on. Unfortunately there aren't that many Kate Spade boutiques to do so and they won't let you return stuff from the website that's marked down more than 50% off. I think that is a horrible policy and probably turns some people away from buying her clothing.

Re: sizing, I typically order my KS clothing from Nordstrom. If KS is having a sale, Nordstrom will price match if the same size / color / style is available.

Here is another Kate Spade Jillian dress, for those of you who love Kate Spade! The shoes are also from Kate Spade. I got a great deal on this dress. It retails for $438, but I paid only $159. I agree that the retail prices for KS clothing are insane, but you can't beat a sale!

Dukeprincess and hellokittygirl - your pics both look fabulous!

I realized today that a kate spade store in my area does carry clothing, so I dont have to order blind online! I think I'm going to have to stop by the next time there's a sale... :)

I'm finding myself a little obsessed with Kate Spade lately, but more on the jewelry than the clothing.

My most recent purchase was the "Pardon My French" shirt. It's cute, the quality is a little off.

The dresses you ladies have posted are TDF.
