Just OK
I wore this running around on errands....The fit was shapeless, but being that loose it was ok for running errands. The fabric was also pretty limp.

Full fit summer skirt
Great quality - heavier cotton fabric and fully lined. This made for a fuller fit - more flouncy, not a lightweight flow.

Weird fit….
I love the color and fabric, so I was disappointed with the fit. The drop from neckline to shoulder was short so the poofy sleeves rode up towards my ears, and the bodice top seam hit way too high. I looked like a 9 year old in a dress that I outgrew …. I bet I’d love it if the fit had worked….

A good alternative to shorts
A welcome option to shorts and a tee shirt when out running errands in warm weather. The fit was ok - like most things I wear with smocking on top it’s designed for women a few inches shorter. Not a deal breaker but just something I often notice.

A good, dressy top
It worked well with a variety of skirts and trousers. Not a “wow”, but a good solution when I needed to get dressed quickly.

Liked it, but wouldn’t own it
No give in waist, so go up not down….Good cotton fabric and lined. Happy to wear it once to a beach party, but wouldn’t wear it many other places.

Average
The fabric was an odd texture-soft but slippery...the print was was just ok and the colors were drab. I wore it once, and it was ok for a summer day of errands.

Great dress - for someone else
A fun dress - crisp cotton with a bold print. Unfortunately, I looked and felt silly in it. Too "cute" for my style...I can't blame it on the dress!

Better like tight fit
I'm a fan of DL clothes because of good quality fabric, good construction, and consistent sizing. Sadly, these pants missed on consistent sizing. I usually wear 6 and I even tried the 8...they fit like leggings, so maybe it's just not the style for me.

Ballon effects
I've rented many Tory tunics, and this was the first time I've been disappointed. I could see that this tunic was cut differently than the more fitted style of most other Tory tunics, but I was still surprised by the big ballon effect. It also made the front opening awkwardly deep and revealing as you move around.

Covid interrupted a good rental!
I loved the dress , but COVID kept me home and away from events. It will be perfect for festive nights out in South Florida...I'll be back to rent this another time.

Perfect combo - warm and stylish
Needed a coat for a long weekend in cold weather location. This was perfect. Lightweight and warm, soft interior fabric, attractive color , high neck to keep me warm, long enough for warmth but not too long to be dumpy. Perfect.

Nothing to like
Poor quality fabric - a cheap, thin polyester. Poorly constructed-the white facing around the neckline rolled out and is visible. The armholes were very large and droopy. Nothing to like about this top.

Odd fit....
I really wanted to like this because of the fun colors. It's also well made - includes a lining. I had planned to wear with thin, white tee shirt - going for a beach vibe. (Spaghetti straps not a good look for me. ). Sadly, it just looked weird, and I can't quite say why.

A comfortable vacation dress option to the zillions of maxi dresses that make me feel half naked. (I'm looking at you slip dress...) Little to no wrinkles after coming out of luggage.

Good travel pants
Easy to pack and easy to mix and match with a variety of tops. After reading other reviews, I sized up and got pretty much what I expected- gap at the waist corrected with a safety pin while legs and hips fit comfortably. (I don't like skin tight fit.)

Good casual option
This was a good option for casual wear on warm weather. I would have liked more coverage - in the wind it didn't quiet wrap around me enough even though it was closed as much as allowed.

Description of Length is not correct
Photo shows a top long enough to be tucked in to jeans. Description says top is 26 inches long. The top is actually a cropped top - much shorter than photo or description.

Lots of fun
I loved them ! Good quality cotton, a fun pattern...the size was a bit off for me - a comfortable fit except the hips were too big. Maybe I could have sized down, but I think the legs would have been too tight and rise would be too short. I pinned the waist and wore a shirt to cover it up and still loved them.

Good lightweight sweater but odd fit
It was an odd fit. The V in front was very wide and the sleeve sat oddly in the armhole. If you push up the sleeves it's less annoying. Too bad because the bold stripe pattern and weight was great.

A good option for spring/summer
These are a bold splash of color and a nice option to white or cream capris. Be aware that they are a thick fabric- probably too hot in full sun if temp is above 75. The thick fabric is also a positive- for a form fitting silhouette there are no annoying panty lines....

It's not the dress - it's me....
As a few others described, the dress is a stretch fit on top. The problem for me is the stretchy part ended right at the bottom of my rib cage, and then the gathering releases out. It looked as if I was pregnant. Probably a good dress if you ARE pregnant, but not a good look for me. Might work better for a shorter frame because the stretchy gathering would come down lower on the torso.

Straight ahead lightweight cardigan
It was excellent for what I wanted- a lightweight, colorful cardigan. Great for early fall vacation- easy to pack and when the sun went down, tossed it over a solid tee shirt/ shorts to keep warm.

Great alternative to traditional sweater or sweatshirt
Loved It! It was a perfect cross between a sweater and a sweatshirt. Comfortable without looking sloppy. I could have worn a small, but not a problem since it's a loose fit. I wore a long sleeve tee shirt under it because it was scratchy on bare skin.

Comfortable spring sweater
A fun option for a good quality cotton spring sweater. A big thank you to other reviewers who pointed out is runs large. YUP! I consider myself in between a small and a medium in a sweater, and the small was big on me. Even the sleeves were long - a first for me. I like a boxy fit, but I think on a shorter person this would be overwhelming. I like the fun animal print, and it was a good weight for a cool spring day or evening.

I almost couldn't send them back
Flattering cut, fabric was heavy enough to drape nicely but not too thick to be hot. I wore them with colored tops tucked in or a white tunic untucked.... I almost didn't send them back.

Just plain fun
Yup ...just a fun, happy shirt that goes anywhere with everything. I liked that there is a linen inner lining so this doesn't look like Kleenex. I wore it often - out for drinks with pink Bermuda shorts, dinner with black drawstring trousers.... Just fun....
