Great dress, wore during my second trimester!
I wore this for my baby shower at 24 weeks pregnant and it was a great dress! I am 5’4” and thought the length was good - I did wear 4 inch heels but didn’t think it was too long at all and could have worn flats as well. I ordered 2R (one size up from my pre-pregnancy weight) and it was perfect if not - a little big. If you need a bump friendly dress for a special occasion, this is a great, light option for warm weather!

Perfect for a work happy hour
Color was eye catching and the dress fit beautifully. It was a little hot to wear outside (90 degree heat) but the slits added some cooling and some flair. Didn't want to return!

My Baby Shower Dress!
I was 28 weeks/7 months pregnant for my baby shower and this dress was so comfortable for the event! I got great compliments and although it was a bit on the long side, I was able to get by wearing flat sandals.

So cute! Love the cold shoulder look
I loved how this dress was so cute had the waist tie and everything! But I was noticing the straps seemed to be a little long. But can easily be pinned. Also I am 5'3 and I had to wear 4 inch heels to ensure it didn't touch the ground. But also the waist tie helped. The fabric was light weight. There is a liner underneath! Super cute will rent again.

Just okay!
Didn't end up wearing this dress for a baby shower I was going to. Cute dress but just a bit too long. Might be okay with more of a heel or for a more formal event. Was just a little too dressy for a baby shower

I rented this as a back up dress for my sons baptism and I went with my first choice and did not wear this dress. I felt frumpy and the neckline came up higher than I thought it should. It also felt more casual while wearing it.

Love, love this dress! Long enough for my tall frame and the fit was perfect for hourglass. Accentuated my waist nicely without over emphasizing my chest. Plus, regular bra! And happy, springy colors!

Beautiful Color!
This dress is a stunning blue color and I got so many compliments from strangers everywhere I wore it! I realized after wearing it twice that I wasn't putting my arms through the armholes properly (LOL) but it still looked cute. Only note is that the dress runs pretty long. I'm 5'6 and had to wear a heel or wedge so it didn't drag on the ground. Might be an issue for more petite ladies!

Rented this dress for a maternity photo session and it was perfect!
The dress is true to size. I saw some comments about the dress being long. I'm 5'7 and the dress was floor length, no longer. Perfect to wear with flat sandals. The top arm section was a little tight. I'd rent a size up as a back up if you're pregnant. I was 29 weeks pregnant in the photo. The waist is elastic, and there's plenty of room with the tie belt. Overall, fantastic rental -- I didn't like the sewn in layer under the dress.

I rented this for my own baby shower and got SO many compliments. The dress was comfortable, fit well, and made me feel confident at 31 weeks pregnant. Pre-pregnancy I would have worn a size 6. I sized up one to a size 8 and it fit great!

Beautiful, Flowy and summery.
Picked this baby up at the Chicago store. Probably should have gotten the 6, but the 4 was available, so it was a bit tight across the chest. I'm 5'2" and wore this with some heels and it was perfect for a nice brunch.

Beautiful color and extra great if you're busty but like a defined waist
I normally wear a dress size 12 but got a 10 after reading other reviews. I'm very glad I did! This fit well though for my shape (pear) it was still pretty roomy in the bust area and the lining bunched up a lot in the back. For a rayon/poly dress this looks and photographs more luxe. Sash is not completely removable - it's stitched in place in the back - so that limits some styling options. Overall really liked it and can't wait to rent more from this brand. As others have said, it's quite long so great for taller people. I'm 5' 8" and wore with about 2.5 inch heels which was the ideal end length for me.

Stylist Review!
I love this bright floral print maxi by Draper James. Running true to size with some stretch, I recommend wearing your true size for your primary size and going up for your back-up. This style is formfitting throughout the midsection and loose at the hips. It works for all cup sizes. You are able to wear a standard bra with this maxi. At 5'4, the length hit floor length on me. Styled with cold shoulders, airy ruffles and a tie waist, it's as flattering as it is feminine. I would recommend pairing with a cute bracelet and small earrings to complete this look.

It's forgiving on fit (theres a bit of stretch in the waistband) and long and flowy throughout.. very elegant and pretty! The material is amazing as well and it skimmed over all my problem areas! I loved it.

Really cute dress - lots of compliments on this one. Loved that the arms were covered a bit as well. The only area of concern was the bust area im a 36ddd and at moments it was pulling a bit- I think I might be the largest bust size you could be in this dress.

Elegant and feminine
Love the incredible fabric (vibrant blue with green/white pattern) that was flowy and elegant. The slit was a perfect balance to the sweetness of the flounciness of the dress, though you can see that I didn't wear the off-shoulder sleeve parts for the workday (just felt a bit too party-ish, but I did wear it normally for my evening events!). My only complaint was the underskirt--which I've pictured here. The fabric was bunchy and I had to keep tugging it down since it's not secured to the skirt with stitching. I was glad to have shorts to wear under it, otherwise I would have been really unhappy.

Beautiful spring or summer maxi, runs large
This dress was worn to my daughter's birthday. I was 7 months pregnant at the time. It fit well, was fairly comfortable and I received many compliments. If I was not pregnant I would have sized down. The dress is also pretty long so I did wear sandals with a small heel.

I loved this rental! I'm a big fan of Draper James and this maxi offers classy and chic style without trying too hard. I do however think that the arm holes, and how they rub on my armpit is uncomfortable. That's my only qualm with the dress. Otherwise, it's great!

Light and airy but not the most flattering
Beautiful chiffon material. Fits exactly like it looks on the model but just doesn't feel very flattering to me. It's boho. I can see it for a lot of occasions - napa, a baby shower, but I wanted something more tailored. The slit is nice! The fabric is truly gorgeous.

Cute summery weekend dress
Worked well as a maternity dress for me! I'm 5-foot-11 and 28 weeks. Upside: cute pattern and comfortable. Loved the sleeves and tie front. Downsides: my height and bump included I still found myself tripping over the length. The lining within the dress felt cheap and wrinkled.
