Beautiful, flattering and functional for post partum
I rented this for my son's brit and it was the perfect dress. It fit wonderfully, was very flattering for my one week post partum figure and the button down front allowed for easy nursing access. Loved it, would definitely rent again

Seems like it would have been beautiful, if I could have fit it on
The dress doesn't have any zippers, so I wasn't able to fit it on. I rented this for an event when I was a week post partum, and though the cut would have been perfect in theory, the neck and waist line didn't stretch enough for me to fit on.

It's a beautiful dress, fit well. Be aware, the neckline is low cut.
I rented this for an event when I was a week post partum, so the umpire waist was essential. I ended up not wearing it as the fabric and print was too summery/springy for the winter weather we were experiencing, plus the neckline was too low cut for the occasion and my figure at the time.

Modest, flattering and comfy
Wore this during the end of my second trimester and it was the perfect waistline for my bump. The length does run a little long (even though I got a petite size) but is doable with the right shoes. The tie-neck can get a little snug if you're wearing this for maternity (as your bump pulls the dress forward) but all in all, it was flattering, comfy, and worked really well for the occasion.

Great color/print, runs large & not the best for maternity
Wore this during the end of my second trimester and though the color and print were beautiful, it definitely runs big (even with my bump, the small was swimming on me) and the way the fabric tiers and neckline fall, it's not the best cut for a maternity option. Ended up wearing it with a belt and lifted the waistline to be above the belly bump so it would (somewhat) work.

Lovely cut and fit, great quality fabric
Rented this at the beginning of my second trimester to help hide the bump for dinners out with friends, family and my husband. This was a wonderful top that got lots of complements. It did the job perfectly to disguise the bump while being very flattering to the neckline/shoulders and very comfortable.

Very flowy, almost tent-like
Rented this for an Italian vacation while in my second trimester, and while it gave enough room for the bump, even being a size larger than I likely should have rented, it came across as too tent-like and flowy. Just too much fabric that it made me feel much larger than I am. Lovely colors and style, but as someone more petite, it was just overwhelming on the frame.

Great warm weather option while pregnant
Wore a size up from my average due to being in my second trimester (to accommodate bump and boobs). Great fit, fabric and cut; awesome the straps are thick enough to allow for wearing a bra.

Stunning color and very flattering fit, the perfect long formal dress
The deep blue really pops and the make of the dress is great, so it's very flattering. The rouching along the sides/back really helps to 'smooth' out the silhouette and accentuates your backside, keep in mind. Given the opening on the top of the back, if you need to wear a bra you might need one that goes a little lower on the back. I'm on the shorter side, so it was slightly long on me but wearing ~4 inch heels with a platform made it fine to walk in. I got a lot of complements - it was a great look that didn't "show" too much but was still feminine and a little sexy for a wedding or formal affair.

So well made, it accentuated all the right places - the perfect twist to a little black dress!
I typically am between a 4 and 6, and given this doesn't have much stretch I went with the 6 and it fit perfectly (proportions, length on leg, etc.) There's a small shoulder pad built-in that gives nice structure to the dress. The underlining is cotton and it's sewn onto the top layer, but given so sometimes the bottom hem 'rolls-up' slightly when sitting but after smoothing it down, it wasn't a problem. I wore this to a dinner party and got so many complements - I wish it was a permanent addition to my closet!

Gorgeous dress that accentuated my curves and showed off the right amount of leg for the VMAs!
This dress is very form fitting but not uncomfortable at all, and if you're walking a lot it can ride up slightly given the stretchy nature of the fabric. The pattern is textural and the dress fabric is 'thick' enough to smooth out your silhouette. I loved the fit, the pattern and the whole overall look - it was the perfect dress to keep it classy but with a little edge/sexiness for the MTV VMAs in Brooklyn!
