Just blah
Thought this looked cute in the pics but it just hung on me. The sleeves were way too long and there was no way to roll them up. Plus the material was scratchy. It didn't get past my mirror unfortunately...

Sexy with a bit of taboo see-thru!
Absolutely love this top! It's sexy enough for a date but appropriate enough for work. I especially like the neckline and lower back hemline. The silky texture feels great on the skin. I will definitely be renting this one again!

Perfect sleek fit
This dress is stretchy with a nice quality material. It hid the bumpy bits and accentuated the right areas. Perfect for work, it's super comfy and I especially love the vertical stripes for elongating. This has a tea length on me which was perfect for a pop of red heels. It's modest enough for work but can be dressed up with a cinching red belt and heels for a happy hour or event after. Zipper down the back is easy to access yourself (as evidence when I had to pump milk at work). This is one of my classy favorites...I might have to buy!

A great dress for the work rotation!
I'm typically an 8 but could only borrow a 10. It ended up fitting great, better than expected. I loved the feel of the dress, flowy and great for summer. The length was great for work, with a great pair of heels. The only issue was the front, there's no way to wear this dress without a cami underneath. The front layer does blow up a bit showing all of your leg if the wind blows too hard. There should have been a clasp on the bottom to prevent that. Overall, this was a great dress to throw in the work mix. I'd wear it again!

Too much fabric
I borrowed this for a date night, but went with my other borrowed back up top. Even with the cold shoulders, it was just too much fabric. I felt like a tent! I just couldn't pull it off, even with skinny ankle jeans and heels. Just wasn't for me!

Attractive and classy
I wore this top for two different date nights with my husband. I wore a black cami underneath with dark indigo washed skinny ankle jeans and peep toe heels. This top, though flowy and blousy, was sexy and classy! It's sheer, so you can see your silhouette underneath with the cami. This allows room for a nice meal and drinks while still keeping a sleek appearance. Sleeves were not too tight, as I've experienced with other tops. Great neckline for a sparkly necklace! I would definitely rent this again!!

Couldn't wear this out!!
So before I really looked at the details of this top, I tried it on to as if it fit. Way too tight on the arms and ribcage. The design of the top is full of intimate naked women playing ring around the posey. Definitely didn't wear this to a wine tasting at my husband's colleagues house!

Flirty and fun
Really enjoyed wearing this top. It hid my post pregnancy belly while highlighting other areas of the bodice. Sleeves add a feminine flirtatious touch. Definitely need a cami underneath!

Glamming up a boring work day!
I wish this would have fit! Even going up a size, it wouldn't zip up the back. I love the print details, fun design, and unique fit...but it unfortunately didn't work on my body curvier body type! I might try the next (2 sizes) up in my next batch!

Ended up not wearing this...felt uncomfortable
The front of this dress looks very matronly, so I was hoping the sleeves would help give some pizazz. The sleeves ended up being too awkward, very open and actually got in the way or moving your arms. I ended up not wearing this to an event as expected. I would not rent this again.

Would not lay right...
So I borrowed this to wear while in the last part of my second trimester. This top was so large that it fell off my shoulders constantly all day! I wore a cami underneath, but the bodice area would not stay closed. Maybe this was due to my pregnant belly? I couldn't get the top to lay right no matter how right I wrapped it. Love the loose kimono sleeves. Fabric wasn't very comfortable. I would not rent this again even without the pregnant belly.

I loved the asymmetrical hemline!
This dress fits over your head, so don't do hair and makeup until after it's on! I love the tight fitted feel of the fabric. I wore this with a cropped sweater and a stretchy belt. Perfect for the second trimester!

My favorite maternity dress
I borrowed this for work but I'm having a hard time giving it back! I plan to borrow this again for my baby shower. I love how the peekaboo sleeves cover my arms but are actually open! This flows nicely over the belly without looking like a tent. Very pretty and very attractive.

BEST Maternity Work Dress
Love how I can wear this to meetings and look just as professional as before, but with a bump! Comfy and slimming. It was a little tight on the knees when I got into my crossover vehicle, but not that big of a deal. I'll be borrowing this one again!!

I LOVED THIS!!!
This hugged each curve in all the right ways! My husband gave me compliment after compliment when I'd wear it out for dinner. The fabric is very fitted and stretchy, but allowed room for a big meal! It's soft on your skin, and didn't rub at all. Though the fabric was a bit heavier than I expected, I wasn't hot at all wearing this in the summer. I'll be borrowing again during the third trimester!

I wore this as a maternity top!
I wore this during the second trimester of being pregnant and LOVED how it looked. You have to wear a cami underneath because the front doesn't wrap tight enough and also because my belly would have shown a little! I even received a few compliments while out. It's flowy, but not too thin, which is perfect for summer! I wore this with ripped capris but plan to wear it one more time with straight cropped pants to work!

I think these overalls would look better during the third trimester.
Super comfy, these overalls might be a bit too hot for the summer. I might try these in the fall when I'm in my third trimester, I just didn't feel like it complemented my bump at all! The top part kind of sagged since my belly didn't full extend the fabric.

Great for third trimester...
So I really liked the slinky jersey material and the ruching down the sides was quite flattering. However, the belly area had quite a bit of fabric. The extra fabric kind of jiggled as I walked. I'm normally a medium but this medium ran a bit larger than normal. I plan to order a small when I reorder this to wear in my third trimester.

Fitted with lots of room!
I settled On a large even though I'm typically a medium. This fit great around the bodice and arms with lots of room for a growing belly. It was slightly baggy under my belly, so maybe even better for later in the second trimester or third. Though, I felt great in this dress all through my day! I love the half sleeves which was work appropriate and allowed me to skip a sweater in the office even during summer. I recommend it!!!

This top adds the sexy back into the equation!!
I love the half length flutter sleeves! They give a super flattering look in contrast to the more fitted rest of the top. The top is perfect for second and trimester wear, helping to accentuate the right places around your pregnant belly. Matches perfect with a maternity pencil skirt for work or ripped jeans and heels for a date night! Top is super stretchy and the medium fits true to size. I need to buy this!!!! I don't want to give it back!!
