Properly warm winter jacket for pregnant folks
Pre-pregnancy I was usually a 4 in winter coats. Halfway through this pregnancy, the 6 fit but I thought the 8 would give me more room to grow. So far I'm 24 weeks and haven't needed to open the expanding side panels, so I'm hopeful this will work with me until it's too warm for such a heavy jacket. Coat is relatively lightweight and warm/wind-proof for temperatures around freezing, I have not yet tried it out in a snowstorm.

Good option for a casual wedding
I ordered both the S and M and there wasn't a ton of difference between the two but I wound up wearing the small. It was one of the few dresses I tried that fit in the bust but wasn't a potato sack everywhere else, and it was comfortable and held its shape well all day. The only catch, if you're planning to wear tights of any sort underneath you'll need a long slip or the fabric will catch. If it had been just a bit shorter I'd have held onto it to wear on vacation with flats, but it needed a little heel.

Good third trimester professional dress
This is a good office / professional function dress for someone farther along in their pregnancy. Halfway through mine, I don't have a big enough bump and the dress didn't fit right.

Wanted to like it more than I did
Material felt nice but the shoulders/arm holes fit funny and it wasn't all that flattering on.

Nice fabric, not for a full bust
Length would have been fine with low heels, and there was enough material to wrap around my waist / 4 months pregnant belly ... but even with a black camisole underneath, the top of the dress didn't work for my current bra size. The snap wouldn't stay closed and the top just didn't fit right.

Not good for a big bust
This dress came up as an option for full bust / 2nd trimester, but I couldn't zip it closed because there wasn't enough room in the bust. Plenty of room everywhere else, but anyone more than a 34C might have trouble with this size.

Solid 2nd trimester option
Comfortable, fabric was nice and thick, and didn't look too big even though my bump is still on the small side. I imagine it would work well in third trimester too.
