Great maternity dress for early 2nd trimester
I've been wearing this dress since about 15 weeks and am now at 18 weeks and still love it. In fact, I needed up purchasing I like it so much. It's just loose enough that it's not highlighting my belly, but I did purchase a size up to ensure a slightly looser fit. I also have a VERY full busy right now and it fits just fine. It's comfy, versatile, and light for a wool sweater dress.

Great work dress for late 1st trimester/early 2nd trimester
Great dress. I'm 16 weeks pregnant, so not yet far enough along for maternity clothes, but not able to squeeze into my normal clothes. This dress was a perfect dress for late 1st trimester/early 2nd trimester, as it is nice and fitted in the shoulders and bust, but loose enough around the mid-section that it covers up a small bump, etc. For reference, I'm 5'6" and currently about a size 6. The length is perfect for the office with flats (only a couple of inches above the knee) and the sleeve length is just right.

Great dress - runs large
Great dress. I'm 11 weeks pregnant, so not yet far enough along for maternity clothes, but not able to squeeze into my normal clothes. This dress was a perfect dress for early in pregnancy. I can tell by the fit it would be nice sans pregnancy as well. Loose, but flattering. For reference, I'm normally a size 2, but currently am more like a 4/6. This dress just fit with some room, but somehow didn't look like a tent- it hung well. Good length, and I love that it's a little longer in the back- more work appropriate.

Great work dress for early pregnancy (or not)
Great dress. I'm 11 weeks pregnant, so not yet far enough along for maternity clothes, but not able to squeeze into my normal clothes. This dress was a perfect dress for early in pregnancy. I can tell by the fit it would be nice sans pregnancy, and I'll like order a size up next month. For reference, I'm normally a size 2, but currently am more like a 4/6. This dress just fit. If I were a full 6 I'd likely have gone for the Medium, but as it is, the Small fit fine. The length would be too short for work if I were any taller (I'm 5'6"), but lucky I'm not, so it worked out great.
