The perfect black maxi
I am obsessed with this dress. I wear it almost every day, or any chance I can get. Dress it down, dress it up, it looks great for most occasions. I sized up to wear this in my third trimester (which I’d recommend if you’re over 35 weeks or carrying big). Feels like wearing nothing, but looks pulled together. Will probably but this in my regular medium after baby comes!

Size up for third trimester
Pros: Beautiful simple dress with lovely sleeves. Wore for date night in my third trimester and loved it. Probably could wear as an every day dress with sneakers. Size up for maternity and you’re golden. Cons: Sleeves do like to pop off the shoulders.

My ideal pregnancy jeans
This were the perfect fit all the way up until 36 weeks for me — and I could wear my pre pregnancy size! Stomach band just felt too tight for me after that point, but legs still fit. Overall, nice quality feeling denim and the shape of the leg felt modern and stylish. Wore a lot with platform clogs and big button downs.

Oversized beauty
Loved how maxi and oversized this was. Worked great for a third trimester bump without having to size up. So flowy and comfortable. Quality fabric. Would rent again.

This is why I RTR
Great every day piece for third trimester! I usually wear a medium and that size worked for me (and I’m carrying big). Kept for 2 months and wore multiple times a week. But glad I can send it back bc I’ll never wear post Partum! Recommend buttoning the straps in an X in the back for better fit up top.

Didn’t work for me
Four stars because the piece itself is cool and great quality, but the fit is super wacky. Would look best on someone tall and slim, or with a more dramatic look. Overpowered me. But works great as a rain coat!

Third trimester & loved it
Pros: Crisp, colorful, classy and perfectly oversized. I loved how long and dramatic this piece was. Slightly heavier drape feels luxe. Wish I had more opportunities to wear. Cons: inner seams were a little itchy, so if you’re sensitive keep that in mind.

Third trimester romance
Wore this for a maternity shoot. I love the color and feel of the fabric, but I don’t think this style was ultimately amazing for me at 33 weeks pregnant. I’d absolutely rent this again post Partum though. Pros: light floaty fabric, lovely green and beautiful pattern, would be great for summer, comfortable, works for third trimester pregnant bump (just size up for sure!). Cons: not *the most* flattering on a big bump and hard to find a bra that would work wonders with a piece like this.

Too tight for my 3rd trimester bump
Pros: lovely fabric and color. Cons: I got this as an alternate option for a maternity photo shoot and crossed my fingers it would fit since medium was the only option available. Alas it was way too tight, so never wore it. I’d size up 2 sizes if planning to wear for maternity.

Maternity photo shoot beauty
Romantic, classic, beautiful. Wore this for a maternity shoot at 33 weeks pregnant and loved it. Pros: quality material, great color, soft, romantic vibes. Worked great as a 3rd trimester dress at my normal size 6 since the style is empire. However… Cons: my bust has grown since being pregnant so if you are bustier I would suggest sizing up or your chest will be squished — maybe you’re down with the Bridgerton cleavage though!

Maternity photo shoot perfection
Wore this for a maternity shoot at 33 weeks pregnant. Chic and classic. Pros: quality material, beautiful slits in the skirt made it feel a little sexy, great sleeves and neckline, worked as a maternity piece in third trimester! Would rent again post Partum. Cons: sleeves might be a touch long for some if sizing up. Note: if you are (very) pregnant like I was size up one or two sizes for the best fit.

Third trimester winner
Pros: Oversized fit worked perfectly for my 35-37 week pregnant belly. Very comfortable. Flowy light fabric. Color is true to photos. Hides a bra well. Cons: Pocket placement is weird, sort of a kangaroo pouch. Super maxi on a shortie like me (5’3”) — tripped on it a few times walking up stairs. A little shear in the front so you might want a slip.

Formal fabric, maxi style
I didn’t end up wearing this on my vacation mainly because the fabric is very formal feeling. Fabric is crisp and cool but also a little stiff for my liking. Could probably be a good date night dress or good as a casual beach wedding guest outfit. Color is bright and punchy, which I like. I was 29 weeks pregnant when I rented this and it definitely felt like a tent on me. Would recommend this to taller gals rather than petites.

Great maternity travel dress
Super soft comfortable fabric. I’d wear this every day! I wore it at least four times, including on a plane at 29 weeks pregnant. More of a casual fabric overall, but you could dress it up. Great for vacation or spring/summer.

Baby moon bliss
Loved everything about this dress. Perfect for a date night out on vacation. Loved: juicy color, can be worn off or on shoulders, crisp and cool fabric texture, banana pattern was so fun, length perfect for shorter gal (I’m 5’3”), accommodated my 29 week bump easily without having to size up (and I gained 30 lbs of baby bump by this point). Definitely recommend, I’d rent it again.

Melon maternity magic
Loved: the color, soft fabric, sexy cutout, breeziness. Lots of compliments. One of the more fun dresses I’ve worn while pregnant. Perfect for a hot day. Didn’t love: I would have sized up if I’d known this would be so busty. Honestly I have no problem with how out there “the girls” were, especially on vacation in a tropical place. But it would have been nice to have more fabric up top.

Pretty in pregnancy
Was 30 weeks pregnant when I wore this to a dinner party. Comfortable and felt chic. I didn’t size up for this and wore my regular medium, fit great even with my much bigger pregnancy boobs! That being said, if you’re not pregnant you might want to size down. Wore with black tights and black mule slides, thick gold hoops.

Dream jacket, might buy!
Warm, colorful, super deep pockets, and just so cool. I enjoyed sizing up to a 10 for a roomier fit, even though I usually wear an 8. I will probably buy this jacket at some point!

Liked it but runs short
I liked a lot about this piece: the fabric has a quality heaviness to it, and the shape is very modern and cool. However it is very short, even for a 5'3" gal like myself. I was constant pulling on the hem to be sure I was covered. Recommend wearing bike shorts or tights with this one.

Compliment magnet!
Soft, colorful, great length for petites. I usually wear a medium and I'm glad I got the small. A larger size would have overwhelmed me. Couldn't wear this without getting stopped on the street for compliments! Was tempted to buy!

Incredibly small
Runs at least 2 sizes two small. Fabric is a denim so there's no stretch, which means I never even got to wear it. I couldn't zip it. Always disappointing when that happens, bc the structure is SO cute and I would have loved the garment otherwise!

Adorable, great fit
Absolutely loved this piece, wonderful quality fabric and bright print. Wore this to Easter dinner and Easter mass and it was perfect. Also wore on a date, and loved it with sexy heels. On petites the length will feel like a maxi FYI but it doesn't go past ankles thankfully.

Really bright and fun color. Runs small, so was a bit too tight for comfort at a dinner party I wore this too. Definitely size up. Great length for petites!

Gorgeous color and comfy as heck
This dress is so gorgeous, and I love the texture and soft feel of the knit. Definitely received compliments when wearing, and I wore it at least 5 times in 2 weeks. Can be dressed up easily with heels but also stunning for every day life paired with platform sneakers. 4 stars because I feel like it's made for taller babes, and the length on the arms especially was quite long, I had to fold the sleeves back when wearing.

Compliment magnet!
These pants paired with the matching top are a bold LEWK so if you like to make a statement these are for you. I got a bunch of compliments from strangers in the matching set, and I loved wearing the pants with different tops. DEFINITELY size DOWN. I usually wear medium and the small was perfect. These pants are wiiiiiiide and that's the point. And the color! Daffodil drama! Wish I could have bought!

Cute but runs small
I really like this top! The color, the fabric, and paired with the bottoms was so fun. However it runs small, so size at least one size up. I got this for every day wear, wore it with the pants to a family brunch, walking around town, and to a small town festival. Would have been way comfier in a size 6 or 8.

Comfort + Compliments
Super comfortable, fits true to size. A great length for me at 5'3", although I needed 2" heels to completely avoid dragging the bottoms. Straps are adjustable, which was crucial! Loved that I could wear this w/out out a bra, it's best for smaller cup sizes. Dressed this up for evening drinks, also comfy enough for all day WFM. Note: lining is very delicate and ripped for me when bending forward. I ended up buying the piece anyway and like it enough I'll repair it myself.
