Lovely pattern and fun skirt
Good fit and fine for a bigger bust, although it may be tricky to find a good bra to wear underneath. I wore Spanx underneath and regret not pulling front leg of the Spanx all the way up (which you can maybe peep in this photo.) As I walked, the skirt and slit did a fun/sexy flowy thing, and the pattern was perfect for a late summer wedding. A lot of other reviews mention needing a higher heel and I had great luck with a platform heel.

Winter Wedding at 5 Months Pregnant
I wore this dress to officiate a friend's winter wedding. The dress was elegant and sophisticated - perfect for a more formal affair. I ordered a size or two up, and because the cut/detail was high on the waist, it did a great job of accommodating my growing baby bump. I definitely recommend this dress for the #secondtrimester. I also wore it without a bra, but next time I would wear some of those sticky cups.

Since up and be sure to wear shape-wear!
Although the fabric is a little stretchy, this dress is not very flattering for larger sizes and the stretch of the fabric isn't a great look. I ended up choosing another dress for the event, and I would definitely suggest sizing up and wearing some shape-wear to smooth the lines underneath.

Comfortable and chic, perfect for a fancier holiday party
The fabric was stretchy and comfortable, perfect for a little growing baby bump. The design was elegant, and the full skirt was fun to wear! It's a little hard to see in photos, but the bottom of the dress has a design that nicely matches the top of the dress. You can definitely get away with wearing a nude or black bra with straps underneath, but I would opt for a strapless bra for a more refined look. Also, the stretch fabric can cling a little, so I would consider shape-wear to smooth the lines underneath as well.

I rented this dress for an office holiday party, and it really fit the bill.
The dress was stretchy and comfortable, with full coverage which is perfect for an office holiday party. The shiny skirt was fun and added the right amount of flair! Especially since the fabric is so stretchy, the sizing was really forgiving. I was finishing up my first trimester of pregnancy when I wore it, but I think I could have worn this up through 20 weeks or so.

Not great for big busts
I ended up wearing this out one evening, and while the style was really cool, this sweater probably would fit better on someone with a smaller bust. With a larger bust, the shorter front was a little frumpy. But, the sleeves were cool and overall it's a pretty cool sweater.

What a great skirt!
I got so many compliments and felt great in this dress! The top is nice and stretchy, so it fit my larger bust very comfortably. The skirt is beautiful and attention grabbing, so this dress was perfect for my body 2+ months after baby. I have a short waist, so some of the fabric bunched a little, but it was hard to see and I don't think anyone noticed. Also, gotta love a dress with pockets!
