Great Maternity Dress!

I wore this when I was 32 weeks pregnant. The material is very stretchy and comfortable, and I was impressed the length worked with or without heels. Perfect for showing off the bump!

Super comfortable! Material was high quality. I felt very secure yet it had a great stretch.

Typically I would wear a large but the XL fit great and was sooo comfy. The arms actually stayed in place and I didn't mess with them through the night. The slit was a nice touch and not too high. Highly recommend this dress. I am 30 weeks pregnant, 170 lbs, 5'4 and wore heels. Safe bet with this dress!

Perfect when 7 months pregnant!

Wore to a black tie wedding while 7 months pregnant and it was perfect!!! Super stretchy and comfortable. Great material. High enough under the arm to cover a bra (this is always a peeve of mine when the under arm area is super low and your bra shows). And the length worked for me too- I’m 5’2 and wore about 2” heels and it was perfect. LOVE!

Black tie outdoor summer wedding

Loved this dress for an outdoor summer black tie wedding. It was breathable, the fabric was so stretchy and comfortable, and the slit was a great vent in the heat. Really flattering at 33 weeks pregnant and comfortable/stretchy enough to dance in. The MR fit great and I'm usually between a 6 and 8 pre-pregnancy.

Perfect for Black Tie Wedding

Dress was perfect for a black tie wedding. The material was a little thicker than I was expecting, but it was not too hot. Very comfortable dress. I was a M/L before pregnancy and now at 30 weeks pregnant (5’4” 190 lbs) the XL for perfect. I was also worried about the length since I’m on the shorter side, but I was able to wear flats with it no problem.

Super stretchy, really comfortable

I wore this for a cocktail attire birthday party. I am 25 weeks pregnant in this photo & it could have accommodated an even bigger baby bump comfortably. I wore a bra under for my own comfort, and there was extra fabric in boobs area all the way around to hide bra lines. This dress was really stretchy & perfect for a pregnancy person. Stretchy, formal fabric (not tshirt material). I would definitely consider this dress again for another event.

Beautiful dress, received so many compliments.

I wore this dress for my baby shower and it was absolutely perfect. I was 34 weeks pregnant at the time and plus sized before the pregnancy. I was worried this dress would only look good in the smaller size range but I was wrong. I highly recommend this dress.

I actually felt pretty in this dress which is hard to come by at nearly 32 weeks pregnant!

This dress was great for a formal banquet that I attended with my husband. I was almost 32 weeks pregnant wearing this dress, 5'2 and 155 pounds at the time. Pre pregnancy I was 125 pounds and I was able to fit into size SR. I wore maybe 2" heels and the length was great! It was really comfortable and flattering for being pregnant. I did wear a strapless bra for extra support, the slit was a nice touch and the sleeves did not fall down or anything. Highly recommend!

So comfortable and breathable!

This dress was super comfortable and complimentary to my body. One plus was the built in bralette so I didn't have to wear a bra, which is nice since my normal strapless doesn't fit right now.

This dress was great for me and my huge belly because of the stretch factor. Also, I'm short, so always worried about length, but with heels it was great. I felt awesome and got lots a compliments!

Forgiving, flattering, comfortable

30 weeks pregnant, normally 150 lb, currently 175 lb. I got so many compliments. The dress was very stretchy and comfortable, but did not look cheap. I was pleasantly surprised to not need a bra, as there is a built in camisole-like bra. The slit was maybe a little high for my taste, but I simply wore a pair of cheap over-the-belly biker shorts underneath so I could move and dance without worry. I think the dress is versatile- the color, style, and fabric would be suitable for many occasions.

So comfy and it fit like a glove!

I was so in love with this dress and received compliments all night long. I was 15 weeks pregnant when I wore it, and was worried the fabric in the stomach would be too big/baggy, but it's very stretchy and so it fit like a glove. I ordered an XS and S but didn't even try the small on because I liked the fit of the XS. I am 5'2" and per pregnancy weight about 130. I wore 2-3" heels and the dress was the perfect height for me. I could have worn flats but it would be a little too long.

Stretchy and flattering!

Wore this at 33 weeks pregnant! You'll definitely want some undergarments so you don't have lines (mama spanx!) and a strapless bra, but the fabric is thick and stretchy so it was comfortable but not stifling hot. I wore the medium since it gave me a bit more length (5'9") and I wanted to wear heels, I am usually a small/medium. I received so many compliments on the dress and I would happily wear it again! Don't worry if you think your belly will be too big, this dress will stretch!

30 weeks pregnant, love the stretch

I wore this dress to a wedding at 30 weeks pregnant - both the small and medium fit well but I went with the medium to have it not as tight. It's my first baby, I'm 5'4" and currently ~158 pounds, normally ~138 pounds. It's not an incredibly long dress, you'll see your shoes especially with heels. Would definitely have been able to also wear it with a bigger belly. Also, love that the top felt "adjustable", could wear it off the shoulder or more on the shoulder, which was my preference.

Comfortable Pregnant Bridesmaid

I felt comfortable all night, didn't love having to wear a strapless bra at 30wks pregnant but it worked! Slit was a bit high with a large belly but I am also 5'9 and had a low heel on. It fit the black tie optional attire. Overall very happy.

I received a ton of compliments on this dress.

My pre-pregnancy size is 5'2" 115 lbs and I normally wear an xsmall petite or 0 petite. I ended up wearing the small only because I liked the look of the dress with heels and the xsmall only worked for flats. If you are petite and need a formal dress while pregnant this is the dress for you!

I was extremely comfortable in this dress all night!

I thought the fit ran a little small, I am 35 weeks pregnant and weigh around 165 and even the large was tight. Most other maternity clothes I fit into my pre-pregnancy small/size 4, sometimes medium. The material was thinner than I expected but it was comfortable to wear and flattering with maternity shapewear underneath. I appreciated that the shoulder straps could be worn up or down around the shoulder, and they are thick so I could just wear a regular bra slid down my shoulder a bit. The length was great with 4-inch heels (I'm 5'5") but if you're not into wearing heels pregnant it would be long.

This dress is so light and comfortable!

I am 22 weeks pregnant with baby #2. I am 5'8", (currently 145lbs). I usually wear a size 6 pre-pregnancy and ordered an MR. It fit beautifully. This dress was SO comfortable. This was originally my backup dress, but I decided on it due to it's comfort. Not really able to lift arms overhead, but we didn't do too much dancing. Highly recommend this dress!
