This is the most comfortable and chic maternity dress! Size down in this one though - I usually wear a size 2 in Hatch clothing but I wore a 1 and it fit perfectly. I'm in my 3rd trimester.

I loved this flowy dress. In the pic I'm 36 weeks. I was an 8 pre-pregnancy and have gained about 35lbs, the 1 fit perfectly. I did have to pull it off over one shoulder rather than pull it straight overhead. It has been around 100 degrees for two straight months, and I was really, really glad I rented this. It's so nice and cool. I doubt it would have looked very cute if I were not so hugely obviously pregnant, but if you are just too dang hot and can't stand it anymore, rent this dress! 

This was a great third trimester dress !! Super cute!! The only issue for me was that the size 1 was the right fit except for in the chest where it was pretty tight. However I got the sense from other reviews and how the dress fit that if I had sized up it would have been too big. Even with this issue thought it was still wearable and overall loved it !

I wore this to work at 36 weeks. Plenty of room for my belly but no stretch in the bust. Definitely pushed me in at the chest but not uncomfortable. A cami or tank top is absolutely necessary for anyone who is larger on top. Got tons of compliments and I thought the pattern was prettier in person.

I would have purchased except that it is low cut and didn't look great with a tank under it. I love this dress and the fit but I am a 36DD and it showed my bra if I wasn't careful. I still wore it just monitored it a lot. VERY CUTE! 

This is so easy to throw on with Birkenstocks or dress up with a cardigan and flats for a campus setting.  It seems to handle transitional weather well too -- not too hot and not too cold for days where we're experiencing 30+/- degree weather fluctuations. 

A confession…

I found Hatch when I searched for empire waist dresses.  I had no idea that they were a maternity line; a quick check of their website suggests there is a fair reason for this.  Reputedly for folks before during and after pregnancy.  

At fifty, I had/have to smile. 

And. 

A magical rayon/silk fabric.  Breezy, thin, perfect for the humidity of mid-September in Manhattan these days.  Substantial enough.  Easy neutral black/brown/tan colors.  Even easier fit.  

Trendy, lots of compliments, super airy and coool for hot days 

This runs a bit large. I'm about a size 12 in maternity and I def could have gone down a size.

However, material is super light, length is great (I'm 5'9") and very cute for third trimester

I felt so pretty in this maternity dress at 35 weeks pregnant 

The pure silk fabric feels amazing in hot weather. Perfect for 3rd trimester everyday wear. It's not form-fitting (which some might find unflattering), but it has an elegant, effortless quality that made me feel chic despite being enormous. The print is very pretty up close. 

I adored this dress, but be advised that it can look a bit shapeless. 

This dress is perfect for maternity. Lightweight and flowy. I wore a tank under it to avoid cleavage because it’s low cut. 

This dress was super comfy, albeit a little tight in the chest. I wore this up to 30 weeks pregnant and the fit was so flowy that it hides the bump quite a bit. Great quality, just not my favorite style. 

Being 21 weeks pregnant, this dress was very comfortable to wear, but doesn't do much for my figure.  I am ok with that since I am pregnant.  It actually disguised my bump.  It is a bit low cut for work, but I just wore a camisole under it.  The color looks brown at a distance even though it is pink and black.  I would rent again, but only while pregnant.

This dress is super light and airy, so great for the summer, but sizing/cut is tough. I originally ordered a 2 and swapped for a 1, but neither really fit right -- 1 is tight across the chest, but 2 just felt massive overall (context: I'm 25 weeks with #2 so currently ~170lbs and 36D). This would be a great pick for late 3rd trimester in the summer.

Definitely got compliments but didn't feel cute in this. 

I did wear this one several times, but I felt it was a bit too low cut. Very comfy and light weight so I ended up wearing it more than I thought though! 

I took the advice from other reviews and sized down from a 1 to a 0. Honestly, if there were a smaller size, I would've gone down another size. The fabric is very pretty in person. I like the easy cut of this. I'm 25 weeks and my bump is on the smaller size; I think this would be even better for third trimester. 

As other reviewers have noted. I had to safety pin it to the middle of my bra so my boobs weren't hanging out. Sizing down may have helped because it was overall a loose fit and there was no way of tightening (without more extensive safety pin work), so on me it hung like a bag. Also discovered in person the color is more pink than brown, fyi. 

This dress fit me everywhere but the chest. I read the other reviews and ordered my normal size and it would have been cute if there was more room for the boobs. It gave me like a folded uni-boob (hence no photo). The material was very nice and pattern was cute but I couldn't wear it. I think I would have swam in the next size up so I moved on to a different style.

The fabric isn't at all how it looks in pictures and this size didn't fit me in the chest at all. 

The small for like an XL. Didn’t get to wear it.

this dress saved me at 40 weeks pregnant in nyc humidity. way oversized though and not flattering at all. just needed something to throw on for doctors appointments. 

This was a great summer office option. It's a bit roomy and needed a lower-cut bra. Fabric is a much lighter/flowier fabric than it appears in the photos

 30 weeks pregnant, current weight 195. This was so comfortable and cute! I wear a size 1 or 2 in hatch. This in the size 1 definitely had lots of room and could wear all the way through my 3rd trimester. Very low cut my bra showed most of the time but chose not to care. 

The soft fabric and flowy fit are super comfortable and cool. Its conservative enough for work but I'll plan to wear it for casual weekends too. It is not very form fitting so will be great for the later months of pregnancy. 

A bit snug on the shoulders/boobs, but otherwise loose and flowy. Lovely on a hot day. 

Felt a bit like wearing a mumu but was comfy in my second tri.  Had tons of room (even tho in other maternity wear size 2s seemed tight), so definitely size down.

My girls are on the big size, but omg were they on display in this dress. I couldn't wear it. Otherwise, super comfy fabric and good fit. Don't recommend if you have a larger chest.





Solid, easy work dress. Light weight silk makes it a nice fall-ish looking dress for the hot early fall days. It falls really nicely. Wore it to a conference at 29 weeks. Shows off your whole arm which at 29 weeks my upper arms aren’t my favorite thing to show off 

Bust is cut too low to wear to work without a camisole underneath; fit is a little boxy

The fabric is light and soft. The color is prettier in person. It was too large however. The neck was very low cut and an undershirt was necessary 

Going up a size would’ve drowned the rest of my body. Couldn’t wear it cuz my boobs did not fit and fabric was tight around the back. It made the fall of the dress completely off

Seven months pregnant and thus still swallowed me. I wore with a black cami underneath but then felt very schoolmarmish. Strange because other Hatch stuff fits well!
