Top part is very large
The waist on the 4R fit me perfectly, but the top of the dress was huge. I also found the fabric to be thin and not sufficiently formal for the formal summer wedding I was attending.

Runs large in the chest. Fabric neither thick nor stretchy.
I rented this dress for a formal summer wedding that I was attending. The dress is pretty, but I thought the fabric isn't nice enough to be sufficiently formal. The fabric is too thin to provide structure and support, and also not stretchy so the fit allows little room for error. This dress would need to be tailored to fit well (or you'd need lots of luck to get the perfect fit). I ended up swapping this dress for another from RTR.

Nice color and fit but weird sleeves
The dress fabric and construction are typical for a maxi dress. It fit well during my 3rd trimester. But the sleeves are split and the inside sleeve fabric is not lined. So it looks...shabby and it is very obvious that the sleeves are only there to hide arms that may have gotten bigger during pregnancy. It was fine for a family pool party but if I had to go to a nicer day party, I don't think it would have worked.
Kimono Maternity Maxi

Size Worn: SR
Usual Size: 5

Not stretchy so size up
This dress could have been lovely (the material is better than many maternity clothes) but it runs small especially if you have a big bump, like in your 3rd trimester. There's also no stretchiness. So size up if you plan to wear this dress toward the end of your pregnancy.

Lovely dress but impossibly wrinkled
I wore this dress to a charity function. I am 5'7" and 135 pounds; 32D; size 4 was perfect. The pink color is beautiful and trendy (some pale pinks can look flesh-colored, but this pink did not under any light look weird). The style is unusual but conservative enough for proper-type events. It was a little hard to zip it up all the way, but I managed! The biggest issues with the dress are that it is incredibly wrinkled at the bottom and the torso was about an inch too short for me, causing the seams over the breasts to be oddly positioned. No amount of steaming released the wrinkles at the hemline. This would be an amazing dress to buy, but for repeated rentals it is sadly not holding up well.
