Love this!
I'm in love with this poncho. It's really flattering for being 32 weeks pregnant and is comfortable while being cute with leggings, a long sleeve top underneath and boots - I've worn it multiple times and get a ton of compliments. It'll also transition well postpartum...I might have to buy it!

Wanted to love this
I waited for this to become available to rent it and was so excited when it did. But I ended up not wearing it. Sized up since I'm 32 weeks pregnant and definitely didn't need to - it swallowed me up and didn't look flattering. In fact, I'd probably go down two sizes. I may try it again after the baby is born so I can wear heels with it (it was also SUPER long on me - I'm 5'3") because I love the color / look. It's a nice weight for norcal's mild Fall weather.

Cute & Cozy for 3rd trimester but runs large
Really liked this jacket- comfortable, easy and cute to wear with leggings and a long sleeve during my third trimester. That said, I order up a size since I'm 31 weeks pregnant and definitely didn't need to - I was swimming in it. I could've stuck with my pre-pregnancy size and been fine. For reference, I'm 5'3" and 155lbs (current pregnancy weight) / 135lbs pre-pregnancy.

Size up if pregnant
I love the look of this top and it would be SUPER cute if I was pre-pregnancy. But at 5 months the small was too small around the middle even though it fit well in the shoulders and the length was good. I think it runs large for non-pregnant women or if you have a small bump, but unfortunately didn't work for me and I think the M would be too big in the shoulders and arms. Definitely plan to try it again after the baby is born!

Cute and comfy
Really cute, flattering and comfy! Wore for a friend's baby shower and it was perfect. The deep pink is festive. I felt great in it at 21 weeks pregnant.

Cute, but fit not quite right
Top is very cute, great for work and was flattering on my 20 week bump. Only problem is the buttons gapped across my chest so I had to wear a cami underneath. I have a broad back so have run into this before with similar tops pre pregnancy and my growing boobs certainly didn't help in this case! Just something to keep in mind if you're bigger in the chest area or have a broader back. Fit everywhere else was good. I just wish I could've buttoned it completely for a more polished work look.
