I originally tried this dress on last June at Rent the Runway's NYC showroom. I loved how flattering it was to my pear shape- forgiving in the hips and lower belly while drawing attention to the upper body and legs. Little did I know that by the time I'd wear it, I'd be 9 weeks pregnant and rocking some serious belly bloat. Despite the changes to my figure, this dress was still a knockout! Not only did I have plenty of room in the belly and hips, but the thicker sparkly material made the skin under my dress look smooth without Spanx. The keyhole back was sexy yet narrow/loose enough that it hid the back fat that also crept on with pregnancy. My only complaint was that since I'm short-waisted, the keyhole back didn't lay quite right, but I'm used to that unless dresses are available in petites. Going with this shift style is the best that a short-waisted pear shape can do! Overall, I can't praise this dress enough- a miracle worker and so much fun to wear! I got so many compliments and felt fabulous- a real accomplishment in the first trimester of pregnancy. I only wish RTR would start offering maternity wear; I've got a few more weddings coming up soon!
