Flattering form fit, but large back opening
Fit well, but cannot wear shapewear due to large back opening

Slimming but wrinkly
Great fit, but wrinkly and needed a lot of steaming. Needs good styling as to not appear frumpy.

Tall girls only
The dress is beautiful with great fabric, but it is far too long for a short girl. The back gapes, so you couldn’t wear a bra and the material wasn’t the most flattering in the midsection

Great fit and shape
The skirt had a really great flare/twirl, and the belt cinches the waist. Can be dressed up or down. My only problem was that the belt cannot be removed, so you cannot customized the look.

Flattering
Flattering cut, but the material is more chambray and wrinkles fairly easily. Not great for wide busts.

Flattering and fun for autumn
Great fall dress accentuates bust and makes waist look smaller. Got many compliments!

Comfy
Comfortable, casual, and loved the fit. A little long so I had to cuff the bottom, which made it even cuter!

Comfy and flattering
A little large up top, but light and can be tied several ways. Loved it!

Unique and flattering
Great dress for work. Conceals imperfections and is unique, but classic. Runs a little large; if you're between sixes, I'd size down.

Solid quality and material, runs very small
The material was great and design is beautiful--I was very excited to wear it. However, I tried the 4 (usually between a 4 and a 6, 4 was only size available), and I couldn't get it past my hips. When I tried it on from the top, it was fine on the chest/shoulders/waist, but again, got stuck at the hips. I'm a little curvy, but no Kardashian ;) May work well for very straight-figured women, but for those with a little hips, I'd suggest going up 1-2 sizes.

Absolutely beautiful dress, but runs small
I rented this dress for a birthday party. The colors are gorgeous and there is a cool, light print on the yellow and green parts. However, this dress does run small and did not fit me. I recommend sizing up. I also recommend wearing neutral undergarments as it is a bit see-through.

Cute, casual dress in late 3rd Trimester
I enjoyed wearing this dress late in my 3rd Trimester. The back is open, but is easily covered if you pull the band above your baby bump. Nice button closing the front, which could also transition for breastfeeding. The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is that there is a considerable split at the front of the dress and mine was a little ripped from previous use. All in all, cute dress and a great color!
Cedar Utility Dress

Bust: 34D
Huge and a bit see-through
I rented this for everyday wear in the late 3rd Trimester. As many reviewers noted, it is huge up top. Also, for pregnant mamas, it does fit over your belly but gives more of a hot air balloon effect that a breezy, fun summer dress. Also, the material is quite thin and see through, especially up top (the bottom has more layers, so not as bad). It may be cuter when not pregnant if you can pull the waist lower and size down, but I do not recommend for maternity.

Great simple black dress
This dress looked frumpy on the hanger, but when I tried it on, it hugged my bump in all the right places. Nice fabric and easy to dress up or down. 36 weeks

Unflattering but nice color
I did not wear this as I found the cut very unflattering. It highlighted my arms in a negative way and it didn't hug the bump in the right places like most maternity dresses. However, the color is very deep and pretty.

Runs smaller than most (maternity review)
I sized up like normal for maternity wear, but this dress barely fit over my thighs (before I even got to the baby bump part). Definitely size up for regular wear and maybe 2-3 sizes for maternity. Nice color.

BEAUTIFUL dress, perfect for baby shower
I wore this dress for my baby shower at around 32 weeks. I received so many compliments and felt beautiful. Although I'm short and the dress is long, the short under-panel gives the illusion that it is a shorter dress. Size up a size if you're wearing for maternity, but the cut fits well over baby bump.

Nice fabric, far too small
Beautiful color and fabric, but far too small. I would size up 1-2 sizes. Straps are adjustable, so a plus for shorter torso women. Little to no stretch. I got this one because it was listed as good for second Trimester of pregnancy. Would not recommend for this purpose as there is no stretch, though I sized up.

Too much fabric
The fit was a bit large and overall there was too much fabric. It may work better on a very tall person, but on someone who is 5’4”, it is overwhelming.

Sexy and classy
This piece had just enough sex appeal while not showing too much. Great for hourglass shape with ample room in the bust. Unlike most strapless pieces, I did not feel like my chest fell out of the sides or top. I would buy!

Statement dress, great for work!
Great dress for work and pairs nicely with a navy blazer. Although it's a bee cut, it doesn't cut too low on the chest. The interesting bottom also doesn't go too high. Runs slightly large, but that makes it a very comfortable dress! Would buy if I could afford :)

Very comfortable and perfect for the occasion. Like others said, it hides nothing, so I'd wear spanx or size up.

Beautiful dress, long straps
This dress was drop dead gorgeous! I felt beautiful in it. I'm petite and the straps are long, but with a little jerry-rigging it fit like a charm. Compliments all night. You'll need a side-stick or sticky cup bra as the back is completely out.

Great color, but fit my body weirdly
Beautiful, saturated color, but this dress is probably better for smaller chested girls (I'm average). It fit/was a little loose through the bodice, but the top made me look like I had a uni-boob and gave me side bulges. It came pretty high up on the chest for me too.

Not for me
I rented this for a causal work look, but the cut was too low to wear at all. I wouldn't recommend if you have much of a chest (I'm only a full B). The neck also seemed weird on me and the sleeves were on the tight side, like most DVF pieces.

Great for work with a blazer--and transitions easily to night!
I wore this to work with a blazer and ditched the jacket for a night out. Made me feel sexy and was very stylish, without being over the top. Would buy or rent again.

Great dress for spring
I wore this dress for Easter and loved it! It only has 4 buttons places (6 buttons altogether) so you may have to be careful of showing too much cleavage, though it was mostly fine for me. Great for an outdoor party in warmer weather, as the material is light.

Runs true to size--don't size up
I sized up because of several reviews that recommended doing so. The 4 was too large and I could not wear (usual size 2). Nice material and design, though.
