Good quality, but hard to style
It was hard to make it not look frumpy. The model in the picture is wearing it just open at the top, but there is no way it would stay closed just from the tie. It overlaps a lot more than it looks in the picture and the tie is thick, so you've got to tie it right. Otherwise, it's a nice, soft color and comfortable, thick quality.

felt a little outdated
The length of the sweater is a bit longer than what is in style right now and what looks right with the type of pants in style now. Not a huge deal, but I found it a little awkward to style. The color of the sweater is a little drab, not as white as pictured, and the dots are blue not black.

Will not stay tied
It was surprisingly flattering and easy to wear, but the fabric is so silky slippery that the belt just won't stay.

Unflattering
Blah color and unflattering length and cut. The color might be fine on someone else, but I just didn't think the sweater was anything special.

Ok
The color is a lot more purple than it looks online and it's too long for current styles. It's a pretty color and sweater, but hard to style it so that it looks cool for 2025.

Comfortable and flattering
Easy to wear and looks nice with any pants. You have to wear a shirt underneath because of the side slits.

Not flattering
The color wasn't right for me, and where the waist hit accentuated all the wrong things.

Felt like a clown
Something about the ruffled sleeves and collar felt too much. I wore it once, but didn't love it.

Not flattering
The color is so blah and the flower print does not do that much to cheer it up. Surprisingly, I didn't find the fit that flattering either. most a-line dresses are pretty helpful while I'm postpartum, but this one was not doing any favors. This dress is not worth a spot when there are so many to choose from.

Ok
I am postpartum, so trying to hide some extra weight and I felt like this did it. Other than that, I did not think it was all that flattering, but I did get some unexpected compliments on it. The length was right. I thought it was pretty much a plain navy jumpsuit, nothing that special, but it was so easy to throw on and comfortable.

Great casual dress
Easy to throw on and go. The arm holes were too tight, and bust probably would be on someone with a large bust. Otherwise a good fit.

Good except for shoulder ties
You can't really tie the shoulder ties by yourself and it's hard to get them even and looking nice and feeling right. Otherwise, pretty good dress.

No shape
I got it to wear postpartum, so the fact that it's loose and boxy was good, but it's so open and has no shape to it that its still awkward and I wouldn't really want to wear it otherwise.

Not forgiving in the midsection
I got this at 5-6 weeks postpartum, and it accentuated my tummy more than anything else. I couldn't wear it. Also, it's a little more of a true yellow than the pale yellow it looks in the picture.

Finally comfortable maternity jeans on RTR
Many of the maternity jeans on here are the kind with stretchy side panels, which are not comfortable! These have the stretchy belly band that also adjusts. I think the adjustable band makes it less comfortable than it could be, but it's better than most and the rest of the jeans are comfortable and cute.

Great dress, but too long on the top
I felt like the dress was easy to look great in, my only issue was that I felt like the length from bust to neckline was too long, but if I made sure to stand with really good posture, it worked.

pretty, unique, and comfortable
it buttons all the way up to the neck if you want and has an empire waist, so it looks very maternity, but the print and colors aren't matronly. it is a really pretty fall shirt. pretty lightweight and comfortable. easy to wear and dress up some basic pants.

Really cute pattern and style, slightly odd fit.
This came up under maternity results, and I wasn't sure it would work, but I tried it because it looked so cute. It sort of worked... There was enough room for my bump, but the waist part was pretty tight and made it a little hard to breathe while sitting down. Like others have said, there's a lot of room in the back, so combine that with a belly in the front and there's a risk of just looking really large on the lower half instead of pregnant. And as others have also said, it is very hard (impossible for me) to fasten and tie in the back yourself.

Overall it's cute for everyday wear, nothing amazing.
It's a little long. I'm 5'3" and I could not have worn this with shorts. It wasn't too big though; I wouldn't have wanted it to be any smaller in the armpits.
