Reminds me of my old maternity tops from way back when.   I loved them then ... not so much now.

I like them, but often they are too short for me.  The ones in the picture are cute, but too short.

I like them alright on others . I have never been a fan personally as an 'apple' wrapped in yards of material is not complimentary . In the summer when made of gauze they can be nice = comfortable if not too voluminous. When made with too much material they do remind me of maternity tops of the 60's on that many women I knew complained about and were so glad to retire at fruition.

Oh....smock tops I remember those well and my mom would hand smock our clothes.  I had a very pretty blue gingham dress with the top smocked along with a pink shirt....she could also crochet, knit and sew, sadly those gifts were not give to me.....

Yes, I like many of them, and I've purchased several the past couple of years.

I like the longer peasant style tops.  The shorter ones just look dated to me.

They just don't look right on me -- overwhelming.

I had a peasant top from Bob Mackie - easily 10+ years ago.  It buttoned down the front and I used to wear it as a light jacket.

 

I don't remember what I did with it ... but it's gone.

@cherry  Me too.  I always size down for a little closer fit.  I adore them.
