Beautiful and forgiving - but no stretch
I really like how this dress looked in photographs. The material is very forgiving but has not stretch so I would not recommend sizing down. I wish the details on the neckline didn’t keep folding over because it lost some of the effect when you could see the scalloping.

Pretty but consider fabric
For those that may be body conscious at all - be cognizant of the material of this dress. I like how this dress looked in photos but I was not comfortable wearing without body shaper underneath. The knit material does not hide anything.

Simple work option.
I liked this dress, but I didn’t love it. The material is unique and lightweight. I did not love having to put it on and off over my head as I found it difficult to take off.

Stiff….just ok
The thickness of this blazer made it very stiff. It also felt very wide in shoulders. It was warm and was fine for a work event. Needed to read the description more carefully because I definitely thought this was black - it’s blue plaid.

I liked this dress though the material was much thinner than expected (especially compared to other Kate Spade dresses). Wasn’t a huge fan of the puff sleeves but this dress did the trick and was easy to wear. Got several compliments.

Really roomy - Vibrant colors
I wore this for a bridal shower and it was ok. Definitely a very roomy style so I opted for the smaller size. There is a hook to help keep neckline closed though still pinned to my bra so there wouldn’t be any bra showing. I also didn’t love the bottom as the buttons didn’t go all the way down so I felt like the dress would blow open any minute.

Really liked this dress - only gave 4 stars because I didn’t love “puff” at shoulders. Very easy to wear and buttons make it so easy to take on and off. Was pleasantly surprised with the blue stitching detail.

Bohemian feeling
I liked but didn’t love - but likely because I didn’t think the dress was formal enough for my work event. Colors are pretty in person but didn’t love the beads on the front tie. Comfortable and easy to wear.

This one grew on me
I didn’t love this dress when I first tried it on, but it did grow on me. I wore this for work and added a blazer. I didn’t find the material as forgiving as other reviews and only felt comfortable wearing this with spanx. Also felt this wrinkled easily. Did love the color, very on trend for the season.

Really loved this dress. Very unique. Felt fully covered despite the skin. I did find this dress tight in the ribs and think I would have been more comfortable in a larger size. Still looked great.

Black or navy?
Liked this dress and wore it for a work event. Pockets are always clutch. Honestly not sure if the base was black or navy. In person I didn’t love the print as much as I thought I would - sort of a wallpaper vibe. Easy to wear though was a little tight at the elastic waist as others have said.

Pretty Color - Odd Fit on Top
Rented this for a wedding and wore at 33 weeks pregnant. I loved the color and felt that this dress photograph well. I had to wear the large as the medium was too tight on the bump - but because I wore the large the top was much too big. Hard to rate the sizing as it was too small in one area and too big in another. Maybe better for earlier in pregnancy. I was self conscious and worried my bra would show all night. In retrospect I wish I had pinned or used double sided tape to feel more comfortable. Also wrinkles very easily - between the car ride and sitting for ceremony there was a large crease around my hips all night.

Baby Shower Outfit
Rented this for my baby shower. Original sizes I ordered were too small around my rib cage so I needed a replacement in a bigger size. Plenty of room in belly for bump but the right under the bust was tight - makes sense so you don’t fall out I guess. I did also find that this wrinkled easily while wearing. Ultimately I really liked this dress once I had the right size and felt great at our bay shower. 32 weeks pregnant here.

Romper with plenty of bump room
Got this is a second option when I needed a replacement. I’m not a huge fan of rompers typically, so may have influenced my perception. I am 31 weeks pregnant and there was plenty of room for bump. The low open back is nice but definitely limits the options for bras - I opted to go braless as I wore this for no special occasion. The material sort of reminded me of gauze (how it looked not how it felt). Not my favorite, but definitely a maternity option for those that like rompers.

Light Floral Option
Dress accommodated bump well though wish there was a bit more room in chest as belly isn’t only part of me that has grown during this pregnancy. I would not have been comfortable wearing this without a shawl at a work event because I felt I was spilling over the top a bit. I did find this dress long. I’m almost 5’7” and was stepping on the bottom while wearing heels. Lightweight and easy to wear.

Black tie wedding
Had to find something to wear for a black tie optional wedding. This did the trick. The dress itself is very plain, nothing special. Accommodated the bump. No zipper so this goes on and off over head. The slit is high but not inappropriate.

Maternity work option
Rented this for a work meeting. Plenty of room for baby bump. Wore this at 28 weeks and ~180lbs wearing this. No zipper so you do have to take in and off over your head. There is some extra fabric on the inside of the front and back of the neck which I thought bunched a bit oddly, but overall a good professional maternity option.

Professional maternity look
Great length for work and plenty of room for baby bump. I was 25 weeks when I wore this. I liked the asymmetrical neckline, but be careful of bra straps as they may peak out a little. The sleeves did cut in an odd spot and was a little uncomfortable at first, but the longer I wore the dress the less I noticed it.

Great professional maternity option
I really liked this dress. It was a great length and very professional. I selected the medium because the large wasn’t available. If the large had been available I think it would have been a better overall fit. I thought there was plenty of room in the stomach (I’m 22 weeks pregnant and 165lbs while wearing) though did feel it was a bit tight in the arms and chest. As others have said there is no zipper so you do have to put this on over your head, which was a bit tricky. Very body con.

Great color - Runs large
I rented this for work specifically because other reviewers said it ran large. I was 19 weeks pregnant and I was able to wear my usual size. If I wasn’t pregnant I’d likely needed to size down. Colors are great, material is light, is wide.

Flight Attendant Vibes
This dress was ok and did the trick for a work event. As others have said it was great bing serious flight attendant vibes. I would have preferred if it was a little bit longer, but not too short that it was in appropriate for work. One issue I had with wearing tights underneath is that the built-in liner kept rubbing against my tights and riding up and bunching.

Pretty Dress - Weird Fabric
I really liked this dress, though may have been more appropriate for a shower or wedding than my work event. Although some reviews say this runs small I didn't have any issues in the shoulders of chest (34C). Getting it on and off was odd as I had to go over my head and as others have said the fabric was a bit weird. It reminded me of a plastic table cloth or crepe paper.

Thick material - no stretch
I was happy with how this dress looked in photos but had not anticipated how thick the material was. It's a thick woven fabric with a liner. The material has no stretch, which is why I opted for the bigger size. It was a little awkward getting on and off as I had to pull it on over my head. Was happy with how it looked for my event, but not one of my favorites.

Classic Plaid
I rented this dress for a work function. Although I liked it, cut was not great for my body. I ended up wearing the bigger size because I felt it was awkwardly pulling at my low back above my booty. The lace at the bottom was a pretty touch but when I walked that dress hiked up a lot. If you are a little more curvy in your bottom half I would recommend sizing up.

Nice dress for work
I liked this dress and wore it for a work event. The pockets are a nice touch. My only negative comments is that I felt the sleeves were a bit short and if I lifted my arms above my head (which you luckily don't do often at work functions) the dress rode up very high. Opted to wear with thick black tights.

Really like this skirt, great length. I'd normally order a size smaller, but it was not available so I rented a size up. Though the waist was roomy I'm glad I had extra room in the hips and booty as the skirt has no stretch. Color is a reddish but photographs closer to brown.
