Good for mid-maternity too!
Based on reviews, I sized down (I'm normally a healthy 2, got the 0) even though I was pregnant. Given that fact I probably didn't need to size down, it would have been a bit looser and more shift like had I kept to my regular size, but the 0 worked even with my 23-week belly (and of def size down not pregnant). It was long enough, didn't compress my boobs at all (32C at least at the moment, 130+lb), and overall I got tons of compliments on this dress. It was definitely a RTR win!

Kinda baggy - try maternity
It's was ok, it fit but was kind of shapeless and baggy. I legit would rent this again when pregnant (early to middle 2nd tri) for maternity (I'm just sticking my post partum belly out for effect in this pic!)

Really cute but a little small
These shorts were so cute! I'm a solid size 2 with a little more downstairs (but barely!) and they fit ok but I got a little gaping at the pockets where they pulled a bit too tight over my hips/butt. I feel like the size 4 would be too big but might try them someday. If you're not too hippy or have a small butt then stick with your normal size. Otherwise consider going up a size or skipping these. Bummed because I would have loved them otherwise!!!

WAY TOO SHORT
I read reviews saying it was too short but I'm good with short and a little bootie peaking on vacation so figured I'd try it anyway and it would be fine. Umm, no! It was so short even in the FRONT!!! Like my crotch was hanging out. So not ok. Fit true to size otherwise, but I could wear it. Maybe if you're really short it could be short but ok, but at average height no way.

Loved it!!
So comfortable, could have worn with flats or heals, flattering and fun. I got SO MANY compliments, even days later. Need a little fashion tape in the front but that's easy!

Too baggy and long
Beautiful silk fabric and pattern, but just baggy. I'm a size two and the extra small was too big. It's also really long (in the back especially) - went down past my butt in the back (I'm 5'7") and also longer than necessary in the front but shorter than the back. It didn't do anything for me and I didn't wear it. I can see using it for maternity maybe!

Pretty dress
I️ liked this dress but it was a little weird to me that the fabric on the bottom was so formal but then the top was basically just stretchy cotton. This was my backup dress so I️ ended up not wearing it but I️ liked the cut and it fit true to size.

Cute black dress
Fit well. It has little extra poofy bits on each side which were a little weird and might not be good if you're worried about how wide your hips look. Not my favorite dress but it was a little different which I liked. Didn't end up wearing it out because our dinner event got cancelled but I would have worn it and been happy in it.

Comfortable, flattering
This was a good dress for everyday, or could be dressed up a little. Nice fall colors - the picture makes it look more dull than it was in real life. I'm a size 2 and am sometimes S or XS and in this case the XS was perfect, a S would have been to big. The top button can be left undone as well, that also looked nice. Very comfortable and flattering enough.

Good basic sweater
Not much to say, it's a sweater. Very soft, nice little details in the sleeve, no weird fit issues - a good every day sweater. I wore it twice before sending it back.
