Cuter than expected and hid my mom belly
I'm not usually one to wear a one piece as I don't think they typically compliment me but I gave this one a try and wasn't disappointed. The fit was nice, maybe a touch big on top but it didn't bother me and could easily be pinned if desired. Hid my little belly pouch so that was a plus lol. I'm 5'3 155lbs and the pants were the slightest touch long on me but not bad. I wore with open toe high heels so they were not too bunched up. Overall i liked it.

Not a fan of anything about this sweater
33 weeks pregnant, went to wear this on a comfy day out &took it off immediately for multiple reasons. It looked cheap and old, the material is very wrinkly for what you would think of a sweater like this. The material is not soft, quite scratchy even and felt like something you would buy at Walmart on clearance lol very thin and again, cheap. overall fit i guess is true to size. I rented a M at 165lbs and pregnant... fit fine. Just don't bother. Too many good rentals to waste time on this one.

Love this dress and designer
I have rented this dress in all the colors/similar styles by this designer. I love it. It's very fun and comfy yet can be worn to work too. I have rented while pregnant and when not and i love it either way. I'd say it runs a bit big just bcuz it's a thick type material. When not pregnant i order size XS and I am usually around a larger size 2. 5'3 135lbs. While pregnant i have ordered in a size small and it fit great. I went with medium this time and I'm 27weeks 158lbs but small would be ok too

Pretty enough but not great
The purse seemed over used. Had it been new i would have rated higher. The latch to open and close was really wonky and hard to shut/open and the rhinestones were kinda coming off in some places and you could see the dried glue around some of them where they were likely about to fall off.

Beautiful dress
This dress was stunning and beautiful. The fit was great. I am almost 27 weeks pregnant here and wore a size 6. I am currently 158lbs and 5'3. Normally i wear a size 2 when not pregnant.

Simple dress with elegant details
The dress fit nicely. I am usually between a 4 and 6. I would say it is pretty true to size. If you are a small 6 then i think this would fit best. The top is probably made for a larger chest but the design and lace detail makes it so it is not noticeable at all if it isn't quite as tight on top. It's much more detailed than you can really see in pictures but still a simple and elegant dress

Loved it
Fit really nicely. The waist doesn't have stretch but it fits high so personally I went with a size 4R and I'm usually between 4-6. I felt really good in this. My picture doesn't even really do it justice.

Nice comfortable dress
Nice dress, not too heavy or too light. I'm usually between a small and medium. I wore a medium in this and it fit nice. I had a baby 8 months ago so i have a little belly and you could kinda see it in this but if i had a "less fluffy" look then i would have gone with the small and it would probably fit nicely

Overall great skirt
Love the colors and the fit was fine I really liked it overall. The material is heavy and works great for a fall skirt. It does loosen up a bit by the end of the day but nothing too severe

Didn't get to wear it but wouldn't recommend anyway
I wanted to wear this for my maternity photo shoot. Obviously it's not a maternity dress but i thought with my normal size being a 0 a 6 would work (i ended up wearing a 4 in a different dress). It didn't even come close. Besides not zipping though the length on a regular was really awkward. I am not tall 5'3 and it was high water on me. Also under the arms was super uncomfortable and felt almost sewn crooked. Just overall wasn't what i expected. I was disappointed i rented this for $70 (with a discount) and couldn't even wear it but at least i got a good backup.

Stunning dress
Loved the dress, it was so soft and beautiful. There was a little bit of stretch and was great length. I wore this for my indoor maternity photos so i didn't wear shoes but there was length to wear heels for sure. The one and only reason it gets 4 instead of 5 stars for me was the straps were really loose so they slipped off my shoulders a lot. It was definitely low cut but still classy. I wore this dress at 33.5weeks pregnant about 160lbs and it's a 4R. I am usually a 0 in most dresses when not pregnant

Comfortable and stretchy but still classy
I liked this dress. It was very comfortable and the material was quite thick and good quality. It worked well with my 33week bump and had lots of room still. I'd say the dress runs large. This was a Medium and had plenty of room for growth and the back by the zipper even had some slack... so I'd say if you were not pregnant this is a big medium. I'm typically a size small, 130lbs, 5'3. In this photo i am 33weeks pregnant and 160lbs. I wore this to an office holiday party

So much prettier in person. Great dress
When I got this dress it was fancier than I thought it would be. But it was still OK for me to wear to work in a business setting and I absolutely loved it it was so comfortable and so pretty and it had quite a bit of stretch. I don't remember why I got a size for instead of a size too but I would say that I am normally a zero or two and it to probably all would've fit. There isA lot of stretch to the dress even Though you wouldn't really think so by looking at the photos. Would definitely rent again

Cute dress but not best fit
This dress is so pretty. The cut of it is really nice and the color is beautiful the fabric is nice however there's not very much stretch to it which you probably would expect from this type of fabric. the reason that I gave three stars is really just because the straps are really long so the top fits funny. I wore this being pregnant 6 1/2 months like many others reviewed it won't zip up all the way. That ended up being fine because the ruffles cover the zipper but the top is still really loose because of the straps so had I gone up a size it would've been huge on top and honestly I don't even know if a size 8 would have zipped on the side. I'm normally a size 0 or two and I rented a size 6 thinking that would be the best size but it just overall didn't fit and I think even if I wasn't pregnant I wouldn't have rated it very high just because of the fit of the top. Perhaps this would be a great dress on someone with a very large bust

Loved this sexy and sophisticated dress
Loved this dress. Fit nicely and was a nice thick material with some stretch. The front is pretty open so make sure that is what you are looking for. I wore this at about 25 weeks pregnant.

Cute and comfortable
This dress was way cuter in person than in the pics. Loved it. Great fit and a little stretch. I wore this M at 25-26weeks pregnant and it fit nicely. I'm normally a XS or small in clothes and i think if i weren't pregnant this would fit pretty true to size.

Sexy, sophisticated
This dress was very sexy. It's very low cut in front though so make sure that's what you are looking for. the material is nice and thick with just enough stretch to make it comfortable and not super restricting. I actually wore this at 26 weeks pregnant and it was cute but i definitely could have gone up a size and it would have fit much better. I had to be zipped in pretty tight lol. And the front was stretched open a little more than probably would have been but it was still cute and would have definitely been awesome in a size bigger or if i weren't pregnant. I am normally a 0 or 2 and if i weren't pregnant i probably would have done a 0 just to have a nice form fitting fit but i think it is pretty true to size.

Great dress, my second time renting this while pregnant
I love this dress. I rented a size S when i was much earlier in my pregnancy...maybe around 20weeks i think and it fit wonderful. Lots of stretch in it and so light and comfy. This time i got a size Medium and i wore it at 33weeks pregnant. It fit great and was just as comfortable as the last time. I forgot to take pictures but it is a flattering dress all around. I'd rent if not pregnant too. Im normally a size XS/S but for the Medium at 33wks I am 160lbs, 5'3.

Comfortable and bump friendly.
Comfortable and bump friendly. Stretchy so i feel like I could have worn this for a while. I am 22weeks in an XS. My pre pregnancy size is an XS so I'd say it runs large.

Awkward fit and really long
I got a 0 because reviews said it ran large it definitely does. He waistline is not as tight as you would want a dress like this so it doesn't look like a bag. However if you go too small the armpit area is tight. So the zero was ok on the waist but still not a great fit but the top under the arm was tight and i am very small on the top. Lastly it was really long. I would give a 1 star but the dress itself is pretty and for the right body type would probably be ok.

I was pretty sad that this didn't actually fit me it was a great material it was very comfortable and it just felt like very high-quality however it fit everywhere on me except for in the inseam the waist and bust and backside were great but the crotch was a bit long. Would have been great in a 2 im sure

Way more stunning in person
Loved this dress. It is sophisticated yet sexy. The sheer lace adds a little sexy but not too much. The dress is not a strechy material so for soneone bigger on the bittom half it was a little tight which made it pooch up in front a little bit. Still super cute and highly recommended. Wore for my rehersal dinner.
