Low Cut
Be cautious if your chest is bigger! The lower cut and buttons couldn't handle my pregnancy boobs.

Looser fit around the belly band
The belly band on these is not compression like other maternity pants! Made for a much more comfortable wear, but they did slip down a little bit throughout the day.

Good for Early Pregnancy
These definitely run small. I ordered my pre-pregnancy size and they were great for the early belly/bloat (weeks 12-15). If you have a 20 + week belly, you might want to size up.

Perfect for Black Tie Optional
Fit was great and the fabric is really beautiful in person. Length was just slightly longer than tea length on me. Super pretty for a black tie optional event!

Beautiful but low cut!
This dress was beautiful! I have a larger chest and it was very cleavage heavy on me. Not an issue, but just be aware! The length was a good tea length on me (5’3). Fabric had really beautiful details that make it look extra special.

Extremely Tight Bust
I’m currently breastfeeding so extra large on top (normally a DD) and the top wasn’t close to fitting. The bottom and waist fit fine but I needed probably 4-5 more inches of material in the bodice for this to fit.

NOT for maternity
This was listed as third trimester maternity friendly and it is NOT. The back is a zipper close and there is no elastic. I’m 33 weeks and there wasn’t a chance of this zipping up.

Underwhelming
This honestly just looked like an oversized work uniform. Nothing particularly interesting or special about the cut or materials. It wrinkled very quickly, especially with the longer cut.

Beautiful Draping
I wore this to work and received lots of compliments. It is a bit see through, so I had to be intentional about undergarments. The draping of the neckline is really beautiful. Would definitely rent again.

Hard to Drape
I couldn't figure out how to drape/tie this. It ended up looking like a pool wrap in a really unflattering and unstylish way. It's very bizarre. Didn't wear it because of that.

Uncomfortable fit and material
I found this too to be overall really uncomfortable. The knit is really stiff and it fit so uncomfortably tight around my neck. It fit fine around my torso and arms, but it was so tight around my neck I had to change mid day.

A beautiful dress for a winter wedding
This dress was stunning: elegant, subdued sexy, and formal enough for a formal wedding. I did pin the neckline to be less low-cut and that worked pretty well. The back of the dress is just the red lace, so you'll need to be intentional about a bra. I wore a bra with clear straps, and that worked perfectly for me. I am on the petite side, so the sleeves were just a tad long, but nothing unbearable. The length of the dress hit just at my knees, which I liked. I felt like the slightly longer length offset the sexiness of the neckline. If you are tall, you might want to keep this in mind. Overall an absolutely stunning dress!

A perfect dress for a summer evening wedding!
This dress was great! Super comfortable for a summer wedding. The fit was flattering and fit true to size. The cutout arms made it a little difficult to raise my arms while dancing and the skirt will blow in the wind if you have a windy day outside. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect dress for a summer wedding!
This dress is beautiful! The slit is definitely high, but can be remedied by a safety pin and conscious sitting/dancing. I chose not to wear a bra with this, but I did need to wear nipple covers as the top fabric is a little thin. I'm 5'3/120 lbs/DD cup and the small fit fine. I actually sized down for my backup and the XS fit, but was tight and I didn't want to worry about having to suck in all night, so I went with the S. The fabric can wrinkle, so just be aware of making sure it's not creased when storing it before wearing.

Beautiful night, beautiful dress.
Because the bottom of the dress isn't fitted, I think it runs a little bit small. I wore a 2 and it was just a little loose around my ribs and chest (and I am NOT small chested, 32DD). I think a 0 would have been a better fit, but it would have been too short. The dress feels short on, but because of the layering and volume with the tulle, it definitely does not look inappropriate. The blue is much more vibrant - more of a cobalt than a navy. I received so many compliments on this dress all night long. The cut, color, and movement of the dress are absolutely stunning. A very beautiful dress! Wish I owned it.

Perfect for a girls' night out!
I wore the 2 which fit perfectly horizontally, but it felt just a little short in the torso. Hips and bust didn't feel too snug at all, but I would say the length was just a little short, and I'm not very tall. The material is a little thicker, but I think it makes for a super flattering fit. Overall, super cute! Easy to dress up or down depending on your event.

Perfect dress for an outdoor, southern wedding!
I wore my regular dress size 2, which fit better around my wasit, but was a little tighter around my hips/thighs. In hindsight, I think I would have been slightly more comfortable in the 4, considering it was 100 degrees at the event I went to. The 4 was looser around my ribcage/waist, but was comfortably loose around my hips and thighs. The detailing on this dress is darling and the skirt moved just enough to be fun to dance in! The open back is gorgeous, but prevented me from wearing a conventional bra. A sticky bra with the tighter fit of the top worked just fine for my bust (32DD).
