Comfortable, cute, and poorly made
I ended up with two different versions of these that both had hardware issues with the straps. It's cute but annoying that there were constant issues with the overall wearability of the piece

Not the most flattering length
At 5'5" these seem like they are too long to appear cropped but too short to be normal pants. Wore them once but wouldn't get them again

Fun way to spice up your clothes
I had a lot of fun wearing this dress. It's basically an oversized sweatshirt dress, but the different stars made me smile both on and off the hanger. I was able to change my shoes and accessories to wear this to a few different things and found it an incredibly comfortable item to grab and go

Matronly work wear, tight bust and arms
I'm not quite sure what I was expecting when I rented this other than to have something for my work wardrobe. However this was not something I ended up wearing more than once. The part for my belly for fine but wrinkled easily and felt largely shapeless. The arms are cut in a way that if you are large busted it makes it very tight in the upper arm. Wouldn't rent again

Simple, comfortable, and super soft
I got this yesterday and promptly changed into it to see how I'd like it. It's super comfy, and I'm wearing it again today to work. My non-pregnant go-to outfit is a button-up, and this one makes me feel like I'm wearing normal clothes without accentuating a bump per se. I see this particular top getting lots of mileage over next week's holiday as well.

Easy to throw on and wear
I'm grateful I got this ahead of random cold fronts coming in because it's been a nice addition on colder mornings. This jacket is lightweight but warm, and the pockets are generous.

The saving grace is the sleeves
Pros: sleeve was a nice length and was a little wider for athletic arms. The neutral color is pretty understated if that's your style. Cons: It's boxy cut, so it's baggy in the top half and with a late second-trimester bump, it's really tight in the belly, and couldn't be worn at the intended length without it bunching up. Summary: I wore this once mostly out of principle to wear the things I rented. I would not get it again.

Comfortable; perfectly fine
This was not something I felt wowed by in terms of looks. I felt like it was fairly shapeless and not at all exciting. Yet I ended up wearing it repeatedly because it was comfortable and easy to travel in -- it didn't wrinkle and was quick to throw on for a trip where function mattered over appearance. I don't know that I'd rent it again because of looks, but I do appreciate having something to wear during bridge weather (still in the 60s to 80s temperature wise)

I will only send this dress back when the weather forces me into warmer clothes
This is so easy to throw on with Birkenstocks or dress up with a cardigan and flats for a campus setting. It seems to handle transitional weather well too -- not too hot and not too cold for days where we're experiencing 30+/- degree weather fluctuations.

How to feel cute and stylish while comfortable
This dress was perfect for a 70-degree fall wedding -- cute, easy to move in, and stayed comfortable for the 8+ hours of celebrating surrounding my cousin's marriage. I'd rent it again if another occasion arises.

It's cute and comfy, but the arm ties are weird on larger arms
I got compliments on the dress, and I found it super comfortable to wear at work, weekends, and general running around (I even wore it to wedding-related events like brunch). However, I wasn't a fan of the arm ties; I feel like the sleeve needed to be a bit bigger to accommodate my biceps in a way I would have felt less self-conscious in.

Eh...
It's a bit big; I should have sized down. It worked well for days when I wanted to wear trousers instead of a dress and definitely accommodated a larger bump.

Save this for the third trimester
I read another review that said this feels like pyjamas and that is an accurate description in terms of comfort. In the second trimester, this gives me lots of room in both bust and middle, making it feel a bit more frumpy. I'll consider returning to this as a rental option in my third trimester.

Tight in arms
It's a gorgeous color way but the arms are tight. When trying to fit over my bump, the skirt ended up being mid-thigh. Not sure if I would rent this in a different size unless feeling ultra confident that day.

Maybe a first trimester winner
I very I have wanted this to work, and it fit well in the shoulder for me. However, the bust was tight and there is a seam at the waist that makes it less roomy for a larger bump (middle of 2nd trimester currently).
