Love love love this dress!
I adored wearing this dress. Made me feel and look like I was no where near 8 months pregnant. The cut, print and fabric are perfection. Definitely on my list of items to buy when I'm no longer two sizes bigger than usual!

Love this dress!
I wore this for the daytime church portion of a wedding, and then to work the following Monday. It comes down to the knees on my 5'3" frame, would be a little longer I imagine if I didn't have a baby belly. It's has tons of stretch, and I would say it runs a little large. I am 8 months pregnant and probably would have been absolutely fine in my normal size. I love that the faux wrap part at the neckline doesn't expose my bra like SO many other wrap dresses. The pattern is much nicer than it is online as well.

Love! Want to buy!
I loved this dress! Sized up two sizes for being 31 weeks pregnant and needed every extra stitch. It's very pretty and well made.

Definitely runs large but cute
Got lots of compliments on this dress. Nice and stretchy. Definitely could have sized down and got my normal size (xs) even at 31 weeks pregnant.

Nice everyday dress but not for pregnant ladies!
I didn't end up wearing this but definitely know I'd love it when not 31 weeks pregnant! It's nice and heavy and very stretchy. The waist is defined by a black stripe that is just not flattering on the growing belly though.

I loooooove this dress
I actually don't want to tell anyone how much I love it because i want it to be in stock when I try to order it again. I wore to work once and to my Friendsgiving party. I'm 7 months pregnant so I ordered three sizes up from my usual to accommodate. The shape is fabulous and flattering. I got so many compliments. It's a little pricy to buy and since I won't be pregnant forever, I hope to buy this at my regular size!

They're okay
I need to wear pants every once in a while. I found that these ran a little large and bunched up in the thighs, but they're comfortable and cute enough.

Pretty, and nice color
Wore this to the office - it's really cute, the waist is a little snug, so if you're between, I'd size up. Happy I got to try it!

It's cute. Lots of compliments!
The fabric on this is heavy and bulky. Definitely made for winter. I'm really surprised they would make a dress out of such a thick material. It's a cute silhouette though and nice to camouflage the baby bump. There is no give in the fabric and the sleeves might be considered small but are fine for me. I ordered a size up from usual and am 28 weeks pregnant. UPDATE: I got SO many compliments on this dress. You can definitely not wear a sweater over it - too bulky, but I really enjoyed wearing it and was comfortable all day.

Cute but short
This is pretty short but otherwise cute. Didn't suit my growing bump though. I may try it in a larger size down the road.

I wish I could live in this dress
The material is really soft and comfortable and doesn't make me feel like I'm putting my pregnant belly on display. I went up one size from my usual. If it were my dress, I'd have it hemmed but it wasn't a strange length, just a little longer than I would normally wear. Will definitely rent again!

Great transition dress
It's been warm enough in the Northeast that wearing transition pieces is still acceptable, and this fits the bill. I wore it with a brown leather jacket and really enjoyed it. Wrap dresses always end up showing my bra, but a piece of fashion tape would have fixed it. I only rated it four stars because I could have used some of that aforementioned fashion tape on the skirt which I felt like I was constantly pulling at it so I wasn't flashing people - there was plenty of material though, it's just very lightweight and static-y. Overall would definitely rent again.

Pretty maternity dress
This ended up being a little too dressy for me to wear to work. I also didn't look at the photos from the reviews - where I would have seen that the sleeves make this more cape-like. As far as size, I would say it's spacious which is nice to be able to wear as is for an expanding tummy or belt if you're still pretty small. I'd rent for a more formal event but this is definitely not an everyday dress even for a very dressed up office.

Got the job done.
These aren't the most comfortable to wear while pregnant, as they kind of sit right below your largest part, but I'm not very big right now so with a big belly they might sit a little lower. I assumed all maternity jeans had the elastic panel that stretched over your stomach. I'm wearing my regular jean size and they are getting the job done - I can now wear pants. They stay nice and tight throughout the day. They are long for my short legs but nothing that folding up the legs couldn't fix. I'm going to explore some of the other maternity options available on RTR, but I would come back to these without hesitation if I didn't find something I liked better.

Long for a petite gal
I'm about 5'3" and love a midi but this is too long for a midi and too short for a maxi for someone of my height. Just a really unflattering length. If you're tall I bet it looks amazing!

Super cute
Really cute! Mine was damaged so I had to send it back and didn't get to wear it. I was told it might be taken out of circulation which I'm really sad about because I won't get a chance to actually wear it! I hope it remains available for at least another couple of weeks!

Really cute vintage-style dress for everyday
I loved wearing this! It was comfortable and I got a lot of compliments on it. I work in a business casual office, so I wore it with booties but it would definitely work with sandals or pumps too for a similar office environment.

Such a sweet frock!
This is form fitting but work-appropriate and I wore it for my bump's debut. So many people stopped and told me how cute it looked. Will definitely order again.

This dress was super adorable and I would love to try it in a larger size that fits my 6 months pregnant body! (or just not pregnant!)

Strange fit
Usually having ties gives ample room for adjustment but this was just awkward, and I didn't end up wearing.

Super cute summery dress!
Great wrap dress that's an appropriate length for work. I am stretching the summer a little by wearing this one into October :) It's super comfortable, and I love the 3/4 sleeve length. I do think the bust runs a tad small; it gaps when I sit down but is nice and smooth when I'm standing up. If I realized this, I might have sized up, or wore a tank under it because it's exposing my bra a bit.

I think this ran a *tiny* bit small, but it's ADORABLE. I got a 0, and it was difficult to zip in the ribcage up to the bust. I'm sending back for one size up. *UPDATE* The two is a perfect fit, and it's a great dress. I don't even have to wear a bra with it :)

Loved wearing this dress. Wrap dresses are fantastic for the expectant mother's changing shape.
I loved wearing this dress - wore it to brunch with sandals and then to work with heels. The silhouette was perfect for my 5 months pregnant (but not showing much) body. The snap at the bust was the perfect touch that too few dresses have to keep my bra from showing. Would definitely rent again! It's also a really great print especially for transitioning from summer to fall!
