I got this dress for dinner out for my 31st birthday. I'm still losing baby weight and wanted something that covered my arms (November birthday!), wasn't low cut, and wasn't too short. The dress arrived as I was walking out the door (my fault for poor planning). I put it on and felt like the dress aged me (not what you want on your birthday!), but quick thinking and I added a belt to it to make it super flirty and fun. LOVED the dress and got lots of compliments from everyone, including the tables around us (we had some fun...). Fit true to size and was comfortable to wear for an extended evening.

At 16.5 weeks pregnant, I was starting show, but still in that "is she fat or is she pregnant stage?". This dress was the perfect compliment to rocking the baby bump loud and proud. Paired with maternity spanx, I felt super comfy and beautiful in this dress. The draping in the front ended up stretching nicely to highlight the fact that I was pregnant, whereas other dresses I had tried at this stage felt like I was a whale in a circus tent, trying to cover up being overweight. I did feel that it ran large - I am usually a medium and with the little bit of extra weight I am carrying now, I did not expect a small to fit, but I am glad I got it! It paired perfectly with 3 inch heels.
