Rented the S because the XS was not available. Figured it was fine because I put in some weight and the XS would be too small. But I was wrong. 

The small was SO large. Too long. Fit like a paper bag. Would have loved to try the XS and see if it fit any better. The color and pleating was beautiful.

I enjoyed wearing this to a late spring wedding. I rented three dresses expecting this to be the least favorite after seeing most people wear it as a maternity dress and thought it maybe too much dress. I took a risk and this wound up being my favorite of the three and really fit the occasion once dressed up with jewelry. 

It's a bit big. Perfect if you're pregnant but since I'm not I used a belt and it really brought it together. Loved the color! 

I got compliments all night on the coral color of this dress. Very forgiving and flowy. Because the fabric is thin, you must wear thong underwear. Otherwise your panty line will show. This is a very cute spring summer dress.

This dress was great but still large for being an XS! The color was great however it could look a little see through in the daylight! It was perfect for a night time wedding Welcome Party! 


I rented this dress for my baby shower at 34 weeks pregnant. I normally wear an XS, and definitely was still swimming in this dress. It is not an actual maternity dress so the front comes up a bit shorter once your bump is in there. I found it pretty unflattering and unshapely, even with a belt, but it's hard to find dresses that work when you are pregnant. The color is pretty and I did get a lot of compliments, so it worked for my needs. Definitely not my favorite dress and DEFINITELY wouldn't rent it if you're not super pregnant.

The flowy fit was perfect for a daytime wedding (especially during summer). The length was perfect and it was light and comfortable. I got a lot of compliments! I was worried I would look big or boxy in this type of dress but that was not the case at all! Would def recommend! 

This dress was awesome for a rehearsal dinner. The sleeves were great and I got a lot of compliments. Beware of the wind though - the fabric is v light, and we had a near scandalous moment when the wind blew! 

I originally rented this dress for an evening wedding, but ended up wearing it for a day time shower the same weekend. Added belt and wore flat sandals to make it a bit more casual for daytime. Loved this dress--color, length, fit, everything was perfect. I am normally between a Med and Large and the Medium was just fine. Might have even had a little room and it fit nicely over my bump!

To put it bluntly I was running out of options for a fancy date night at 38 weeks, but this dress worked perfectly! I rented a Small and a Large and ended up going with the Small which fit over my baby bump perfectly. The material is so light and flowy, and I felt great all night. I would definitely recommend this to all the pregnant ladies looking to rent a dress :) 

I'm 30 weeks pregnant and this dress worked out great. I received several compliments on it. I paired it with a belt as suggested by other reviews and it was very flattering. I would have sized down as suggested by several others but I felt my bump made the dress too short. However, the medium did fit better on top but I ultimately went with the large because of the length with my bump.

Perfect loose dress yet elegant for my baby shower and I wore a small! 

The dress like always arrived right on time. I am currently 7 months pregnant and was comfortable in the attire.  I would definitely recommend this dress to any mom-to-be. 


This dress was super comfortable for my baby shower.  I'm 29 weeks and the M was extra roomy, I could have ordered a small and been fine.  

I wore this at a wedding when I was 6 months pregnant and felt absolutely beautiful! Received so many compliments about how nicely the dress accentuated my growing bump. I wore my own belt under my boobs with this dress to help accentuate it, but I think it would have looked just as great without the belt. Definitely recommend this dress to other pregnant women!

Easy fit, definitely need slip as there is no lining. 

This is such a fun dress! I'm 5'11, and it was higher than shown on the model, but not too skimpy.  I have my hand on my hip, so it looks higher.  This is such a fun dress and it was perfect for travel because it didn't wrinkle and could be dressed up with heels and dressed down with flip flops.  I'll get this dress again...it's comfy and flattering.  

Perfect for pregnancy, I wore this during my late 2nd trimester. Comfortable and I needed a belt to better show off my bump. 

Overall, I loved this dress! It does run large so I would suggest sizing down at least one size. It was perfect for an outdoor wedding where you aren't sure what the weather will be like. The color is very vibrant but the pleats are less noticeable than in the picture on the model. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that there was no liner in the stress so you had to wear an undergarment to smooth out lines.

I received compliments all day on this dress! Wore it to a bridal shower for my soon to be sis in law.  SO comfortable and gorgeous color (even brighter in person than I expected!) Perfect for my 4.5 month baby bump.  Paired with a belt and gold heels - without the belt it looked like a choir dress :P Size down, especially if you are petite! You wont be disappointed by this rental! 

The medium was not available, and all reviews had said it ran large so I sized down to small. The only issue was some of the pleats at the top tended to flatten out with this size. It still looked very nice and moved well. 

I didn't realize I was wearing the L, I probably should have tried the M. I felt good for my baby shower. I was 33 weeks pregnant at the time, and I styled the dress with leggings, knee high boots, and a belt. It is very forgiving, and flowy. 

I was unsure about this dress at first, very boxy and tent-like. I couldn't tell the difference between the small and XS, both seemed huge. Anyway, I wore this to a baby shower and I got SO many compliments! Ended up being a great find! 

Fit true to size. I'm on the taller side and it wasn't too short. It's was light weight, festive and totally fun. Got compliments all night and what's better then pure comfort in a dress all night! Color is vibrant and fabulous!

The dress runs large - I sized down (from Medium to Small w a 6 month bump!) Accessorize with a belt if you want some definition otherwise the dress is very 60's -esque. the color is fantastic though - very bright and pops!

It was a perfect maternity dress. Adding the belt helped show off my bump a little more. The color was beautiful and it was sooooo light! I wore it to my baby shower in June and wasn't hot at all. I LOVED this dress and felt absolutely beautiful in it!

I wore this dress out to brunch and a festival in the park. I'm about eight months pregnant, and this dress worked really well - light and airy!

Runs large. I wore an XS when I would wear a small normally and a medium while pregnant. Does not have much shape to it so consider adding a belt or just be aware of this. Overall, great dress - lots of compliments!

The dress fits large. I wore a size small and I was 34 weeks pregnant (weighed around 133 pounds). Loved the bright coral color. Not sure I'd rent the dress if I wasn't pregnant because it's so loose fitting. But if I did, I would need the extra small.  I got many compliments on it!


I chose this for an early evening outdoor wedding in the Texas Hill country. The free flowing fabric was cool enough for the late afternoon sun and design provided enough coverage for the cool evening, all while accommodating my growing fifteen week baby bump. I was both comfortable and feeling beautiful and confident (not always an easy feat when one is expecting) and I received tons of compliments. The dress runs a little large; I chose a medium bc that's generally my pre-pregnancy size but could have easily worn a small. Also, the pleats were not as prominent as the website photo suggests. Overall, I was very happy with my rental.

Loved the dress and color! Runs large I ordered the medium and small and went with the small. I'm 5'11" and it was almost to my knees so it worked out for me. Got so many compliments on jt! Would definitely rent again. 

They didn't have XS so I went for S. It fit a little large but not a problem bc it is 3/4 sleeves.  I'm normally an XS/0 at 112 lbs but currently I weigh about 126 (mostly bump & bootie!). 

The color is prettier in person. Closer to a salmon than a true red. 

It fit me at 25 weeks pregnant and I bet it could be worn someone even further in their pregnancy. 



Fits extremely large. I am 4 months pregnant and wanted something without looking frumpy and without a bow or empire waist belt. This dress was dressy enough for an outdoor Colorado wedding. Color was fantastic. It was so comfortable and flattering, my friends said they forgot I was even pregnant. Fits extremely large. I got both the medium and large thinking - obviously not fitting into a medium but I'd try anyways from the other reviews. Definitely go a size smaller than you normally do. 

This dress is amazing. Perfect for a warm summer evening, or cool. The flow is amazing. You must have the right undergarments, for sure. 

This dress runs large. I am normally a large, but wore the medium instead. Thank goodness for backup sizes. Its very loose and flows. Great for a garden or summer party. The one thing is it doesn't quite flatter busty girls. But I already had the dress so I wore it anyways. I picked the medium over the small because the large was so large it fit like a moomoo on me. 

Wore this to an outdoor event. Easy easy fit! Great little dress for a party or vacation. 

this ran a bit large, i ordered a medium and large as i was 31 weeks pregnant and had no idea what size to get.  i might have been able to pull off the small!  otherwise, it was nice, airy and flowy - perfect for my baby shower!  it came nicely pressed so all the pleats were in the right spot.  i was able to wear normal undergarments which definitely helped.  overall loved this dress!
