I liked this dress a lot! It had lots of give so I wasn’t too confined. I wore it while breastfeeding so I was BUSTY and the XL fit me well and wasn’t too tight across.

This lace sheath did the job for a fancy cocktail party, but I wish it had a bit more shape (a ribbon belt would be nice, to accentuate what waist I had left at 8 months pregnant!). Fits true to size though.

This dress is so comfortable! I don't usually say that about anything lace, but the lining was soft and stretchy and didn't cling, which made it perfect. I had tons of compliments all night on finding a formal maternity dress that wasn't yards and yards of fabric. I was 35 weeks at the wedding, so most things weren't fitting, but this dress was great.

This dress runs LONG - I am 5'3" and even in heels the hem was dragging on the floor. I would recommend a Petite size for anyone shorter than 5'6". That said, it's gorgeous, and fit great everywhere else (including in the bust, where I am especially large right now because I'm breastfeeding). I got comments all night on the spectacular color!

Sequins make it itchy (what's new?) but otherwise the fit was great and I felt like a million bucks all night.
