Tough later in pregnancy
If you're already bumping and your boobs are inflating, this probably won't work. Not enough structure to hold the girls in, and unflattering if you're carrying high/you're just shorter and the distance from boobs to belly isn't much. Also had trouble with the sleeves on a shorter frame: seems there just wasn't enough distance from torso to shoulder to hold them upright.

Cute and comfy
28 weeks pregnant but feeling extra large, and this was a perfect look. Flowy, pockets, comfy in summer heat, bit of a racer back detail but didn't require specialized bra tech. Just super cute.

Glam maternity option
Amazing, flowy, almost cape-like dress that made pregnancy look cool. Runs a little large - the volume is good, but worth knowing that the armholes cut low so any bra band will be visible at times. Went with a nude racer back which was fine. Fabric is a little sheer.

Good not great
The details and structure (the crumbcatcher, the slot) don't look as dramatic in real life. It all just gets a little drowned out by the pattern. Also long for a petite gal. Still plenty of compliments, and the fabric and build feel rich, but not a super exciting look.

Very Cool
Picture doesn't do it justice. A very cool look, with soft, flowy silk that somehow has a ton of structure. Comfortable, glamorous, hip. Wore it with metallic loafers. Needs fashion tape in the front.

Not for short girls
A tough fit on my petite (5 foot) frame. The top bunched a ton and it made the zipper wavy in the back. I'm postpartum/a little heavier at the moment (145), and it just made me look super thick. Sent it back and tried another look (thanks for the awesome customer service RTR!).

Stunner for my 3rd trimester
Rented a size up from my usual to accommodate the 33 week bump. Plenty of stretch, beautiful color, lovely scoop back. Definitely a head turner and a great option if you want to feel fabulous while you're pregnant.

Bold, Comfy and Chic
Birthday fell during quarantine, so why not go big? It's an attention getter that feels like jammies but looks surprisingly sophisticated with heels. Very low cut, so either lean into it or plan to pin or add a tank.

Looks glam but easy to wear!
Rented to wear as a bridesmaid dress. Fit nicely but with a ton of give/stretch that made it great for dancing. Very form fitting but super comfortable. Tons of compliments!

Summer comfort
Wore it casually and to a bridal shower. Crazy comfortable and looked great even on my short/athletic frame. Buttons go low enough that I could breastfeed in it too!

Lovely look
Great look, little snug in the bust but comfy space for food below. Tough to see the fabric in the photos, but in real life it was beautiful and rich but not heavy/wintery.

Amazing movement and TONS of compliments
Movement on the skirt makes you look like an amazing hot pink evil villian/goddess. Pretty sure I had more compliments on this look than anything else I've rented and the social media praise was immense. I'm also a couple months postpartum and the waist/skirt hid my baby pooch.

Baby shower glam
Probably overkill, but an amazing look for my baby shower. I was 35 weeks at the time, and sized up to a large (I would normally wear a medium, maybe a small). Meant it fit a little big in the sleeves and shoulders, but generally fine. Let me feel super glamorous at an unglamorous time!

Festive and fun for a winter rehearsal dinner
Flattering, glitzy, fun and young but not silly. Hit all the right notes for a bride to be at a mostly casual rehearsal dinner in the winter. A bigger, statement necklace is a smart addition!

Totally different than anyone else's look
The 6 was pulling just a little, but the 8 seemed much longer which didn't work for my height. A little disappointing since the six had some discoloration, but in fairness I never would have noticed if I didn't have another one to compare it to. Well tailored, definitely distinct. Sleeves need to be anchored, but a safety pin through each bra strap held it just fine!
