Very different in person
The photos and in person are quite different - it's a thick fabric almost like quilted, which isn't pictured. It looked thin and silky, but it's a cotton done in a needlepoint pattern. And it's far more rainbow looking in person that photographed. I didn't imagine it could look more colorful, but it does

Too tight for work
The fabric was stretchy and clingy and thin - even lined, it showed everything through it. It was too low cut and too tight for a work environment. I felt unprofessional

Lacked any definition. Kind of like wearing a mini or giant bag. The pockets were convenient and the fabric nice. But it was entirely unflattering

The arms and chest under arms is a little tight. The color is great and I love the fabric, but you have to size up.

Meh
The material in person is quite cheap looking. It looked fine, but it isn't worth getting as a rental. It's no more special than any top you could grab from a destination maternity.

Bulky looking
Not every maternity item is meant to look slimming I know, but this added quite a bit of bulk. It was comfy, but not flattering.

Lot longer than it looks in photo
Perhaps for someone who is much taller this would work, but on the average frame it's equivalent to a mumu. I found that I couldn't wear it.

Not as sleek as it looks in the photo
The volume in the sleeves, and the sweater material (which is quite comfy!), add a lot of volume to your already larger shape. I give it an A in comfort, but a C- on being flattering.

Really blah look - not flattering in the way I'd pictured
I kid you not, the first person who asked me about my shirt called it a smock. This thing is not a flattering look in person. Could be a length issue I suppose as I'd 5'4" - perhaps it looks more flattering on someone who is tall. But this is almost akin to wearing a big white mumu - it adds about as much dimension to you as fabric could. I give it two stars for at least being the right size and the quality of fabric is very nice. But I wouldn't recommend the piece.

Professional and modern
This is just a great dress for a big work event or an interview. It's form fitting, is a great fabric and pattern - very professional fit. I sized up because it's rather form fitting and I'm quite curvy, but it has some stretch to it as well. I would highly recommend it

Amazing bright color and pleating details
Love this dress - would highly recommend! Has an amazing bright color and the pleats in the back are a wonderful detail. Also love the large gold zipper. Really heavy beautiful fabric, well lined, and fits on easily. Does run large so I would recommend true to size if you're very curvy, but likely most should size down.

Really tight in bust
I was so disappointed I didn't get to wear this. It's a thick knit fabric, but there's not much stretch given how thick. It's beautiful and has a great style to it, but it's incredibly small in the bust and I couldn't wear it as intended.

Lots of compliments but very heavy
I got a lot of compliments on this item. It is a great pink - pairs well with many looks. I wore it twice before returning I liked the style so much. But each time I had to take it off midday. It's incredibly heavy and halfway through the day it would be pulling on my so much I would have painful indents in my skin on my neck.

A dress with pockets is always great
Dress is comfortable, and the fabric is fun and bright. Runs a little snug. I love that it has pockets! I would say that thew seaming down the front and pocket placement and size does make this dress look more casual than I thought it would, so I would ensure it's not a very formal affair, like a wedding, which it gets rented for.

Bright and cheery
I sized up one as it's tough to have a wrap dress fit a large bust and be modest, but overall fit was great. The cut is beautiful and it's a great classic look for work or a party. I would say in person the coloring is different than I'd thought - background is the same hot pink as pictured but up close it's red and yellow flowers on black lattice. I didn't think the colors up close look great together which is the only reason I didn't rate it higher.

Amazing fit and beautiful details
The picture doesn't do the fabric justice - there's both texture and a hint of sparkle in the fabric that's really unique. The dress looks expensive, and fits great. It's easy to get on, fits true to size with a little give as the fabric is knit. Would be great for both work and events.

Amazing! Color, fit and detail are beautiful
The red color of this dress is fantastic - makes it appropriate for all seasons. Really great length, the lace fabric is soft and comfortable, and the detail is beautiful. I wore it for my husbands promotion ceremony and got many compliments. I would say since t's a tighter sheath dress, and the lace offers no give, if you tend to run between sizes definitely size up.

Looks best on a very thin frame
This dress is very waist defining, and looks very feminine on! I'm wearing it for another purpose and not the party I'd intended because it does look nice, and the fabric has lots of give and comfort. But it's not what I was hoping for. If like me you have some hip, where the pleats are it really pushes the fabric out, unlike the photo. It gives an illusion of a lot more volume under the skirt, as if you're hiding saddlebags. I think the color, fabric, fit - everything is great! But it likely is more flattering on a very thin frame.

Loose and comfortable, bright and fun!
I know Tory tends to run small in the bust, and other reviews said it looked great in it's flowy-ness so I sized up one and it was great, but I could have gone with my normal size, It's an easy fit! Everyone loved the color and detail. It's a very red orange, so better color for those who wouldn't always look good in a traditional orange. It was comfy and stood out - got many compliments!

Lots of cleavage!
I think for the right even and body type this would look amazing! It fits like a glove, and has a great length to it. Size up one for sure. However, it's much lower cut in person than appeared in the photo. In the center, it will come down to just above where your bra meets in the center front. Definitely not appropriate for work without a serious scarf covering you up. It also turned out peach wasn't the greatest color on me - with light olive skin it just didn't look amazing. But I could see how it would look amazing on others!

Very cute frock but just too slim in the bust
The style of the dress is very cute! People said size up as it runs small, two sizes if you want it more loose, and they were right. I sized up two sizes and most fit perfect. But the ruching at the bust is deceiving - while cute it holds no function and the top is cut quite slim. In the end it just seemed way too tight in the bust and I chose not to wear it

Beware of the see through stripe in skirt
This dress is a really nice fabric and fit. Easy to get on, forgiving, looks amazing. However, if you're a longer torso or have a little more curves the see through stripe may hit a bit high. I definitely wouldn't have worn this to a work function. The event I went to I was able to pair it with a very long silver cardigan. But without, I'm fairly certain you would have seen butt cheek in the back at times, like if you even modestly bend forward

Really really small fit in the bust
The dress has a really nice fabric feel and detail, and I sized up after reading how others found it to be tight. But I still couldn't get it zipped over my bust. It runs QUITE small in that area.

Far smaller than advertised
For a bustier lady like myself, this was impossible to get zipped up. The reviews had said it was true to size, comfy even. But there was no chance I could get it zipped on me - I would absolutely need to size up. I'd unfortunately picked this for a date night on a trip to Europe so it came all the way with me and back unworn. And the color and pattern is lovely, so it was quite disappointing to not be able to wear it.

Bold color and pattern, and fits like a glove.
I read the other reviews first and opted to size up as I have a larger bust. I would say it's quite form fitting, so it's definitely a little tight in the chest area. But the colors and pattern are phenomenal - the photos don't do it justice. I rented it for a work summer party and it was a great mix of fun and casual, but still sophisticated and appropriate. I would definitely rent again.

Lots of stretch and fit to the fabric - pretty skirt silhouette.
Dress fits as expected, and the fabric has give to be form filling. It's a heavier knit, but it still works well in warm weather. The skirt has great movement to it. It's a fuller and loose skirt design, so I imagine it would be a great fit for those with larger hips. I got a number of compliments of the beautiful navy color and fit at the wine event I wore it to.

Beautiful print and amazing lace detail.
This dress was reviewed as running a little tight, and it does, but sizing up 1 size was perfect. The lace detail on the shoulders and back is just beautiful. What I wasn't expecting is how great the fabric would be - it's a thick material with satin like feel. It was dressier than the photo, and perfect for my event.

Tough dress to get on and tough to wear.
The thick fabric has a really nice texture to it, and the length is great (just above knees). But it's not lined, and I would expect it to be for this quality. It shows every underwear line through it. And without a zipper it's rather tough to put on - important not to have done your hair, makeup or deodorant. The neck cut is also higher than I'd like and not the most flattering. Usually a V-neck is at least a little lower, and for bustier women that high of a neck is not the most flattering.
