Striking departure from maternity wear
This is a stylish, striking sweater that is also very warm and comfortable. I rented it at 25 weeks pregnant and it felt great to wear something so comfortable and fashion forward at that point. It looked especially good with a high waisted, fitted, midi skirt, but also elevated basic black skinnies and black top. The sweater overall length and sleeves are long, which suited me great at 5'8, but may swamp shorter women.

Super warm and soft
Surprisingly warm and super soft while still dressy enough to pair with a long, fancy dress for a winter wedding. This felt like wearing a cute hug. Length was just right, fell at waist.

Great alternative to the usual stretchy maternity styles
This dress is loose but stylish with its unusual cut, cool back design, plunging v neck, and front slit. I wore it at 24 weeks and many people didn't realize I was pregnant due to the dress volume and drape. Wore with back tights and booties, and a gold geometric necklace.

Great dress for second trimester
This dress flattering and fun to wear to a winter wedding at 24 weeks pregnant. It might be harder to pull off pregnant for those with a shorter torso or who carry high since it is fitted with no give a few inches below the bust line, consider going a size up and having fashion tape to keep the top in place.

Great color but not recommended if you're tall!
This dress is a beautiful bright blue and a nice, light weight for summer, but I did not wear it because it was super-short on me -- I don't mind short, but this was too short to dance in or sit down in without risking indecent exposure. I'm 5'8 and have a long-ish torso, so wouldn't recommend this dress to anyone tall or with a similar build.

Great dress
Love the color and materials of this dress, which really stand out from all the lace dresses out this season. The blue and black combo gives it edge, while the streamlined shape keeps it modern. It's a little short for tall folks like me, but still ok for a wedding (but would also work for more urban events).

Lace Tank Mini
Robert Rodriguez Collection
Size Worn: 8
Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 8"
Weight: 160lbs
Bust: 34B
Easy dress
Easy and forgiving dress -- the lace is substantial and backed, it comes in at the waist but has a fuller skirt that works for those with hips. The black further makes it easy to wear anywhere, while the lace gives it a bit more interest and softens it for a wedding. Not the most exciting dress, but you can't go wrong with it. I wish that it came with a belt to cinch in the waist and add more interest, but I just borrowed a friend's.
