Wore this at 31 weeks to a wedding and the fit was excellent. I took my pre-pregnancy size. I think I could likely wear it all the way through pregnancy. 

This was a killer dress. Rented for my cousin's rehearsal dinner when I was 36 wks pregnant. Plenty of room for the bump, and it just felt so pretty with the fabric and the way it moved. My only issue was the bust was a little low/open for me. Probably could have used some tape for it but I didn't have any. It wasn't a huge deal though. 

I wore this for my BabyMoon at 31 weeks pregnant. It was perfect for Cabo's warm weather. The dress is very lightweight with a pleated, full circle skirt. It was surprisingly flattering on my growing frame. I enjoyed wearing this! 

I wore this to a wedding and to a nice date night. It was very comfortable. Definitely showed off my pregnancy bump more so than other dresses I've worn. I wore with a regular bra but strapless may have been more appropriate due to the twists in the straps. 

This dress was PERFECT! 25 weeks pregnant, normally a size 2 or 4, the 4R fit perfectly. I used a little fashion tape to keep the straps in place and needed a very low cut bra. Highly recommend for expecting mamas. 

This dress flows like no other! I'm not joking, one girl rolled down her window to yell across the street how much she loved this dress. That's the kind of cat calling I can get behind! I did wear it backwards because I liked the depth of the back plunge more than the front. 

I was seven months pregnant when I wore this dress to my good friend's wedding. Formal enough for reading at the church ceremony and comfortable enough for dancing at the reception. Lightweight material with a flattering cut and tons of room for the bump, without making me feel like I was wearing a tent! Highly recommend. 

I feel like this ran a little large. Though, I am wide under my bust line so I don't think an 8 would have fit. I'm an 8/10. I kept rolling over the dress in my chair so I wouldn't recommend for work. Gorgeous for a wedding, etc. though! 

A nice lightweight summer option that worked well with my early third trimester bump.  I ultimately went with another dress that felt a little more special for the occasion, but this would have been a good choice.  

It definitely runs big -- I was a 4 pre-pregnancy, now more of an 8, but wearing the size 4 here and it fit comfortably. 

Wore this dress 6 months pregnant with twins and it was very light and comfortable. Went up a size from prepregnancy size and it fit great. Did not need a bra, wasn’t too low/revealing (I have small bust). Comfortable for dancing, didn’t feel constricting at all, just easy in general.  Would definitely recommend especially for those looking for a light dress during maternity. 

I wore this for a family dinner, and it was comfortable but felt dressy. The bodice is a little awkward--the fabric and print fold over in an unusual way. Still, highly recommend. 

I wore this for a wedding welcome party. Even though it's not a maternity dress it was great for a small bump. I have a short torso so it gapped a bit up top but I used fashion tape to make it work! 

I rented this dress for a bridal shower when I was 5 months pregnant. It was very comfortable and flattering. Got tons of compliments. The length was perfect and I am short. 

Rented this dress for two occasions and wore to neither (rehearsal dinner and my baby shower). The dress is gorgeous, flowy and lightweight. I rented the size 2 at 7.5 months pregnant and it fit great (pre-preg 5'5 120 lbs) but lost out to a dress that was a little fancier for the dinner given I was in the wedding party. Kept as a baby shower contender but at 33 weeks, just looked a little too matronly on from the side. Wish I had rented earlier in my pregnancy to avoid the tented look from the side and will consider for next summer while not pregnant! 

As the title says, this dress was fine, but didn't do anything special for me. The way it hung made it appear that I had more belly than I do.  Definitely a good non-maternity maternity dress. 
Great light material. More sheer more than I would have liked too. 

This really accentuates the bump if that is your thing! 

The material is high quality and it flattered my figure. It didn't show a lot of cleavage which I appreciated.  I felt very feminine in it, and it ended up being the perfect dress for Easter.

Wore this at 35 weeks for my baby shower. Fit my bump perfectly but the twisted shoulders kept having to be adjusted. It was also an odd dress to get into. But other than that received so many compliments! It's a very dark navy and although the material on the hanger looked see-through it wasn't at all.

I found this dress to be extremely comfortable and it fit well over my 34 week baby bump. Pre-Pregnancy, I was a steady size 6, and the 8R of this dress worked perfectly for me in the 3rd trimester. I probably could have gotten away with a size 6 up until week 30.  It's perfect for spring and definitely multi-functional - I did get a lot of wear out if it.  Within my month rental period, I was able to wear it to work a few times,  to church, and to a date night out to the theatre: easily dressed up or down with different shoes and cardigans.  That said, it does have a few slight flaws: you have to wear a cami.  It is SO low and I would have been completely hanging out if it.  The the skirt isn't lined and the fabric is a bit thin. Yet, there are so many pleats that it seemed not to be too see-through (so much fabric to hold getting in and out of the car!). I'm not used to wearing longer dresses but I like that this hit me mid calf but didn't seem too frumpy.  I'm sure this dress is adorable with a flat stomach also (given it's not actually maternity attire!) 

Size down! Definitely better for someone with a larger chest. Cute dress but had to return as the top half was too large and hung very low on me. 

Paired with leather high heel boots and leather motorcycle jacket. Flowy and beautiful. Very sheer but I wore it at night

Beautiful dress. Had to wear a bra that had some coverage but other than that this was a great dress. Especially at 6 months pregnant. I would rent again even when. It pregnant. 

A little lose in the chest area which had me adjusting frequently throughout the day. For this reason did not wear more than once but was a cute and easy maternity option.

Fun dress for a night out -- a bit too low cut and loose up top for work. 

I wore this dress for a September wedding that ended up being a humid, 88 degree day. The dress lining is very light, making it a great choice to stay cool. The pleating on the dress was beautiful, and I loved the fit. It fits loosely under the chest, which make the profile look bigger, but looks great from the front. I definitely recommend!

I wore this to a bridal shower at 27 weeks pregnant. Very bump friendly, and super comfy. When I first took it out of the package I thought it might be see through, but don't panic-- when you put it on it layers and is totally fine. 

Really enjoyed wearing this dress. As suggested in other reviews, I sized down. Loved the pleats. Excited to try the skirt version for work. 

Small rip under the armpit when I received but you couldn't see when on. I wore a slip bc it's unlined/sheer in the sunlight. Comfy for my 5 month baby bump and easily wearable to meet friends after work. 

The only thing I would change about this dress is bringing the hem down from below the breasts to the waist, so elongate the bodice. Other than that - worth the wear!

Really lovely dress. Lots of compliments. A bit loose in the waist and rib cage but it worked with the overall design just fine. 

Liked the longer length & pleats. 

Didn't love the top section on me...had to wear a jacket to make it office appropriate. Low V at back. 

Didn't require a slip. Good for hot weather.  Didn't wrinkle. 

Pretty, but not that memorable overall. 

Ran true to size unlike most Vince.  

A little big at the bust and ribcage, but totally wearable. Could probably have worn a size down. Like another reviewer said, it is less formal than I anticipated, but I fortunately didn't need anything too dressy. Rented to wear to a friend's wedding, but ended up preferring the backup dress I ordered. 

I rented this for a summer wedding, and it was exactly what I was looking for! It fit perfectly. I chose not to wear a bra although you could easily wear a strapless bra with it. It was light and airy and perfect for a summer wedding. I would definitely rent this dress again. 

Sweet summer dress! Can be worn with a low cut bra. The fit is more of an empire waist than I expected, giving the dress a more casual look than the pictures. The looser fit also makes it more forgiving, the 4 I rented could have been worn by a small-ish 6.  The fabric does not wrinkle & I loved the midi length. A little sheer but I wore Spanx shorts. Wore it once with cream suede Addidas sneakers and another time with dressier sandals. Looked great both times! 

Loved this dress!  Wore it to a rehearsal dinner and it was perfect.  It was very flattering with a low cut top and a tea length, flowy skirt. I am 5'4" and about 125 lbs and pear shape.  Wore a size 2 and probably could have worn a 0. Recommend getting your normal size as well as a size smaller. 

Fit was perfect for me--I'd been worried about the bust in particular, but it was an ideal fit, and somehow slimming with the close-fitted back and drape of fabric (irl; the pics don't seem to do it justice). Very flowy skirt, perfect summer maxi dress and went well with a cardigan for work.
