Conservative but not stuffy, real buttons PLUS a little hidden helper button to help keep it closed and keep it from gapping. Buttons are interesting and pretty, color is beautiful (definitely pink rather than nude but not obnoxious). Wore with the skirt but honestly would just get the top again.

This is one of the only times I've worn a wrap skirt that did not threaten to expose my undercarriage in the event of a breeze or upon sitting. Very springy, good length even for shorties (I did wear heels with it but it would have worked with flats without coming off as a maxi skirt).

It looked super sparkly coming out of the garment bag but it was actually just fine for work (and my office is fairly conservative). I pick clothes based on what I can pump in and this does not actually unbutton all the way down, so that made it hard to pump but in other circumstances I would prefer that since real buttons can gape!

I wore a much larger size than usual because I just had a baby and am large! That said, this dress did a nice job of hiding leftover belly. Tighter in chest so I could wear a bra underneath, but material is thick and sturdy enough that I didn't need one. The gold is shinier in person than it appears in photos.

Wore this to a wedding where dress code was black tie couture. I wore the 4; my backup, the 6, was the same size at the waist but too big in the top. I wanted the cutouts to show more so I ended up only zipping the back up part way and then folded the un-zipped sides in. I used boob tape (no bra would work with this) which was actually pretty easy to hide under the wide shoulder straps. I wore ENORMOUS platforms underneath (it was a whole disco vibe) and the skirt didn't drag at all, but with any other shoes it definitely would have been long. The hanger straps were really annoying. I had to keep tucking them in all night, so might recommend some garment tape to hold them down.

Really gorgeous dress, and the high-low hem was perfect for me,l at 5'1". Usually with these dresses I have to pick up and carry the bottom of the dress and get stepped on all night, but even with shorter heels (maybe 2.5 inches?) this barely grazed the floor in back and hit just above my ankles in front. The colors in the fabric are really rich and vibrant. My husband told me I should just buy the dress because it's so perfect!

Not a maternity dress but perfect for my 7mo stomach. Shockingly comfortable, sequins didn't itch and it wasn't tight or constricting. Also surprised about length- I'm very short (5'1") and I wore heels but it didn't drag. Didn't have to hold up the hem while dancing. Might be a little short if you're a normal height person? Also comfortable for sitting. Beautiful rich color. Can't believe I was able to feel so glam when I otherwise feel so gross, lol.

Wore this to work, although it was a bit summery for January. I'm 6 mo pregnant and it was just the cutest. A little tight in the chest, but not uncomfortable. I wore with a white tank underneath since I was at work, but if anywhere else it would have been a nice lil but of cleavage (not obscene or anything).

Wore this while 5.5 months pregnant in my regular size. It's stretchy but not clingy/inappropriate for work. There's a band across the waist, but it didn't bother me at all. I'm short and the ruffle hit me right below the knee so looked great with very high heels (which I'm wearing as much as possible while I still can). Fully lined, so you can't see bra through the white dots.

I'm a singer and wore this for a performance. Also 5.5 months pregnant. This isn't a pregnancy dress but it works great as one anyway. I love off the shoulder looks but often have a hard time keeping the neckline in place, but this worked great (and I move a lot on stage!). Great stretchy fabric was not too thin. I'm short so this hit me a little lower than ideal but I was in heels so not a big problem. Will probably rent again once this baby is outta me.

This dress is really beautiful-- the fabric is richly colored and the craftsmanship is lovely-- but the cut isn't good for short women. The sleeves on the model in the picture stop at the elbow, but came down to my wrists and looked ridiculous since they're balloon-y. The ruffle, too, came down past my knees and looked slightly absurd on my smaller frame. If you're tall and have long limbs, go for it! Otherwise it comes of clownish.

Got this with unlimited for work, I'm 17 weeks and don't have a bump but am just kind of...pudgy so this was perfect. Cute and extremely comfortable. Probably could have sized down, was a little loose around midsection but like I said I'm not tryna show that off just yet. Might keep this one!

Wore for pregnancy announcement photo shoot. I usually wear a 4 in this brand but tighter stuff is uncomfortable in my condition. Probably should have tried the 4 though: the 6 felt a little long and just big. My waist was totally erased- I'm not showing as much as it seems in this photo, there's just a lot of fabric on the top! Design would work better for taller, slimmer girls.

Wore this for my best friend's bridal shower. The color is gorgeous and I got lots of compliments; when I took it out and saw the nude underlay I was like "bleh" but it wasn't an issue and looked nice. I didn't need to wear a bra. As the title notes, this is a "midi" dress and goes beyond the knee; I'm short and it was definitely on the long side-- almost to the tops of my ankles. I had about 4-inch heels on and it looked pretty good, but as soon as I changed into flip flops it looked dumb so I wouldn't recommend flats. The reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because I think the structured nature of the bodice made me look a little wide; plus, my heel got caught in the open lace and I almost ate it, lol.

Tried on the 0 at RTR (pictured) and it ALMOST fit-- an inch unzipped at the top because boobs-- but there's no 2 and the 0 was unavailable on my day. The 4 fit well except, as everyone else said, the straps were too long and I felt pretty boobular. The straps on the 0 were the perfect length and the waist fit well too so consider the smaller size.

Adjustable straps were great. There's a layer of tulle under the skirt that was a little scratchy (long car ride). Zipper stayed up without a hook and eye, so that was great.

These were absolutely gorgeous, totally sparkly and fantastic. A little smaller than I pictured, but I was ok with that because I was afraid they would be too heavy. These were perfect and just the classiest things for not much money!
