Baby shower
Ordered this as my 2nd option to wear to my baby shower. It ended up being the only one that fit me they way I expected, considering I'm at 32W now. The flow was so nice, and the material was light. I received a lot of compliments on the dress. I chose to wear flats, and the dress just swept the floor. I'm petite (short torso, long legs) and wasn't uncomfortable with the proportions. My only concern was the plunge at the bust. Unfortunately, I did not bring a "just in case" bobby pin, which would have helped. This was the only dress that fit my bust. However, the faux wrap wasn't quite tight enough to stay fully closed. My bra was showing whenever I was sitting. I was constantly fidgeting with it, especially for photos with friends. Overall, I was quite happy with my choice though, and I would rent this again.

Baby shower dress
This was my number one choice to wear to my upcoming baby shower. I thought I chose my size wisely based on reviews, but I was wrong. I loved the print, flutter sleeves and material. At 32W pregnant, I'm always running a bit warm. This was light weight enough I don't think I would have sweated too much. However, I'm in a larger cup size, and the wrap would not close at the bust. My breasts were only half covered pulling the wrap to its tightest, which wouldn't have been fixed even wearing a tank underneath.

Wanted for my baby shower
I received this as a replacement item and it also wasn't the right size. I wasn't able to fully zip it over my 32W baby bump, despite specifically searching for "third trimester" dresses. I also don't know if it would have really be cute on me if it had fit. I have a short torso; the bodice seems designed for someone with average proportions.

Not my style
The photos are cute, but the print isn't really my style when I saw it in person. It's a bright orangey peach. The fit was also tighter than expected. I specifically looked for a dress to wear for my baby shower. I'm 32 weeks, but there wasn't enough stretch around the waist for my bump. This would probably be best early to middle second trimester.

Beautiful
Selected this as one of my options for a black tie event. I'm currently 18 weeks pregnant and needed something to fit the bump. Unfortunately, this dress was just a teeny bit too small for me. It bunched in the back, and I was spilling out of the bust. I ordered an 8R as my backup which ended up not being shipped. I think having a bit more room in the waist and bust would have made this my first choice of what I chose. Wore a different dress ultimately. Gorgeous color and shape otherwise.

It bunched in the back and would ride up my hips as I walked. Wore a different dress. Gorgeous color and shape otherwise.

So many compliments!
The dress fit well over my wide hips and narrow shoulders; the length was great even on my short torso. I wish it came in petite to be slightly more form fitting. However, I could move around easily, which was great for the wedding reception. Also helped that everyone kept commenting on how great I looked.

Fabulous and fun
This dress was amazing! I usually get something in regular and pray for the best. Not only was the petite the perfect length, it also hugged my curves in all the right ways. The only part that didn't fit was the "strap", which was a little big. But the loose strap didn't prevent the bust from staying in place all night long despite my best dance efforts ;)

Gorgeous and simple
I loved this bracelet and received so many compliments for this simple piece. I wish I could have kept it ;) It would have been nice if it were a skosh smaller since I have small wrists. The bracelet would slide half way down my arm if I raised it.

Great if you aren't disparate proportions
I wore this for a rehearsal dinner. I loved the shape and length of this dress. However, I had some fit issues above the waist because of my proportions. The dress became more off the shoulder than it should have been.
