Bump friendly, very flattering
Wore this to liven up a normal work week, very flattering stripe and very bump friendly-- easily disguised an early second trimester bump.

Fun print with beautiful drape
This is the perfect silk shirt-- I rented a few things to liven up a normal work week and this shirt was such a win. Playful nautical print, beautiful drape with a nice weight silk. I hated to send it back!

Unforgiving fabric with horizontal stripes
Rented this thinking I could wear to work with a cardigan, but the fabric is super unforgiving. Because it is a ribbed and has some stretch, the fabric needs to be thicker in order to disguise panty/bra lines. It's essentially a casual dress, but would require spanx in order to lay nicely. Plus, the horizontal stripes really emphasized width and made me feel like I was in a sausage casing. I couldn't wear this dress out of my house.

Elegant and understated
Loved this dress-- wore with dangly pearl earrings, spanx, strappy nude heels, and a regular bra. The neckline is lovely and the 3/4 sleeve kept this more reserved. The tight skirt gave this a subtle sexy but classy edge, perfect for work awards event. Was very sad to send this back!

Subtle sparkles
Rented this at 30 weeks pregnant for a winter birthday date with my husband. Wore with black tights and black ankle boots-- loved it! Band at the bottom is a bit tight but was able to pull up to use the bathroom just fine. At this point in my pregnancy, I was about 135lbs and had G cups...yikes! The dress was super accommodating and very flattering. In person the sparkle is more subtle and elegant than I anticipated, though still a very fun dress!

Elegant but forgiving!
Rented this dress at 7 weeks postpartum for a Memorial Day weekend wedding in Northern Michigan - it was flattering and forgiving and I was sad to return it! For reference, am about 120lbs at this point postpartum with HUGE boobs from breastfeeding. The silk is a medium weight and gives the skirt a lovely swing. The wrap is low, but I paired with a nursing tank underneath so I could just loosen the tie and breastfeed easily. Really loved this dress!

Sophisticated but fun bump-accommodating dress
Wore this to a work holiday party at 22 weeks pregnant (pre-pregnancy weight is 115, was 130ish at the time of the party)-- while this pic isn't the best view of the dress it definitely shows the bump accommodation! Dress allowed for a normal bra which was super helpful and made me much more comfortable. Also the dress was fairly short but with black tights and with the crew neckline and long sleeves, was totally conservative enough for the work setting.
