I liked it so much, I bought it!
At first I wasn't sure about the oversized silhouette. It's not super flattering. But the silhouette plus the mixed colors makes this coat very wearable. It looks cool with sneakers or boots. I got a ton of compliments on it and i love that it's 100% wool. The purchase price was a good deal so I went for it!

I liked it so much I bought it!
Unique print, very wearable silhouette. I rented it for my return to work following maternity leave. I got so many compliments when I wore it in my free time that I decided to buy it! It's relaxed & comfortable but interesting & put together. Lots of interesting styling options. Can be layered up or down to wear in a range of seasons/climates.

Easy Midi Dress

Not flattering but I still got compliments??
This coat is not: flattering, that warm, or waterproof. BUT I still kept it for 3 months! It has huge pockets for gloves, phone, keys, & there are even little zipper pockets inside them where you can stash a credit card & ID, so you don't have to bring your purse everywhere. The silhouette of this coat is goofy but I think because it's so unusual I got a lot of compliments. Finally, I'm a new mom & the fit is so loose that I can wear it over my baby in the carrier. So, it's worth renting!

Chic and comfortable!
I rented this for a fall wedding at 3 months postpartum. I was even able to use my wireless pumps while wearing it! It was chic, flattering, and comfortable. I would purchase it if I had more events to wear it to! Sadly I didn't get any good photos!

Frumpy - could not make it work
I rented this at 3 months postpartum and a bit curvier than usual. It looked SO frumpy. I had my sister try it on to wear to a wedding rehearsal dinner - she is very slim & athletic - and it was super frumpy on her! The print is pretty ugly & we just couldn't make it work :/

Love the color & unique style
I had a fall wedding to attend at 3 months postpartum & needed looks for several events. I chose this for the rehearsal dinner/cocktail party & it worked out great. I had to wear shapewear and I styled it with a jean jacket & clogs. All in all I felt it was flattering & fun.

Lots of fun and early maternity-friendly
I rented this thinking I might wear it to an outdoor Christmas party in 2020 & at least the sparkly legs would be visible under my coat. Then COVID numbers got really bad in my area and well, no parties. My husband and I dressed up for New Year's Eve dinner in and this jumpsuit accommodated my 14-week baby bump just fine! It's stretchy and comfy. It's a lot of fun to wear and I hope to rent it again, pregnant or not! I never include photos in my reviews but I had to this time :)

Good looking and warm
I enjoyed this coat but I found the pockets impractical. They are cut in such a way that it's not natural/comfortable to keep your hands in them. That was my only complaint! Otherwise it's chic & warm. I sized up & wore it in my first trimester and it helped me feel put together even over sweats/yoga pants :)

Grey Cocoon Coat

Comfortable and put together maternity look!
I have rented this item multiple times in two pregnancies. It's very wearable especially in trimesters 1-2. One of my favorite maternity items!

Somehow too big AND too small
Disclaimer: I'm 3 months postpartum & still figuring out how to dress my nursing, changing body. I was hopeful about this dress because it looked comfortable, forgiving, and possibly nursing-friendly. Alas I was very disappointed as it was way too big in the bust but somehow tight in the hips & stomach. Most damning of all: my husband's comment was: "I don't think that's right for your body type" - savage! This dress could work for someone who is pretty slim with a nice rack haha.

Mango Wrap Dress

Cute for work or everyday
I loved this dress and got lots of compliments wearing it well into my third trimester. Plus the little zigzag stripes are rainbow colored so it was perfect for pride!

Cloudy White Midi Dress
See by Chloé
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 10

More flattering than it looks in the photos!
I wish I had rented this earlier in my pregnancy because it's really cute and flattering. It was too short on me to wear as a dress but cute over leggings.

Flattering 3rd trimester look!
I LOVE this dress. If I weren't so close to delivering I would probably buy it. I love it in navy but would also rent in other colors of they have it. It's just easy to wear, and comfortable yet flattering and put together. Doesn't look like your typical maternity look. Highly recommended!

Tons of compliments on this versatile maternity dress
I rented this for everyday wear in my third trimester and I got so many compliments that I kept it for a second month. I also wore it to work a few times as it is a work-appropriate length on me and was cute with a little cardigan. I ordered XL which was a little big on me - I'm 5'10 and in my 3rd trimester.

Zip Denim Maternity Dress
Ingrid & Isabel
Size Worn: XL

Not a great option for 3rd trimester
This is a cute top and I wish I had rented it when my bump was smaller. In my 3rd trimester, this was too short on me. It's a nursing top so I might try it again after I deliver.

Striped Nursing Maternity Top

Comfortable & cute maternity work look
I loved this dress so much I kept it did 2 months! It's a flattering and comfortable look for the third trimester.

Amelie T-Shirt Maternity Dress

A bit tight in the sleeves & shoulders
I liked but didn't love this piece. It fit a bit tight in the sleeves and shoulders for me, which is not a typical for issue that I run into. I also thought the pleather pockets looked a bit cheap IRL.

Sweet Pea Cardigan

Too blousey for maternity
I like this blousey style in general and I thought it would be comfortable during pregnancy, but this style was just not flattering for my 3rd trimester.

Logo Stripe Button Down

Flowy but not maternity
I got this as an option to wear to work while I'm still hiding my bump. Unfortunately it's not a true maternity style so the buttons were really strained over my stomach [facepalm]. It is a very pretty color & would be a comfortable & put-together option for work, but I didn't find it to be maternity-friendly.

Bordeaux Button Down
Diane von Furstenberg
Size Worn: M
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 10"
Comfortable and put together
Ok, this dress definitely does fit like a tent, but it was perfect for me in this stage of my pregnancy when I'm not ready to tell people at work yet but straight size clothes are no longer comfortable. The pockets are pretty bulky and not super flattering. I still liked it but I can see how this might not be ideal on a curvier person.

First maternity jeans
This was my first try with maternity jeans. Pre-pregnancy I wore a 28 but I've gained weight pretty fast so I thought a 30 would be appropriate. These seemed to run a bit big and I had to keep pulling them up. That said, the side panels were really comfy. I didn't realize these were cropped and a bit flared, so I wasn't crazy about the style, especially not for winter. They'd be more appropriate for fall or spring.
