I am 32 weeks and currently measuring 42.5" around the bump. I decided to take a chance on this for a black tie holiday affair -being I saw a few other pregnant ladies who had success with this dress. It is most definitely bump friendly thanks to the empire waist design! My pre-pregnancy size is usually 6R, and so I tried 2 & 3 sizes up AND in longs -which I am surely glad I did. With 2.5-3" heels, I needed that extra length to accommodate the bump. The 10L was too tight in the mid-bump up to the chest area, so 3 sizes up was absolutely necessary. The back of the dress trails on the floor a bit, but didn't get in the way, outside of a few stairs. The lace in the middle is sheer, so you will need to wear appropriate undergarments. I wore a nubra, and it worked fine! Received many compliments all night long, and felt very glamourous for being 8 months pregnant!

I ended up wearing this dress as a last minute in-store find, after not liking anything I ordered. I did not expect this dress to fit as well as it did. Hugs every curve in a flattering light, and falls straight from the hip. It's a fantastic color -something a little different than your average LBD. The V neckline is DEFINITELY deeper than what the model shows -highly recommend fashion tape, but the material adheres well, and stayed in place ala JLo! I wore 3" black patent leather heels, that were the perfect height for the length. If you want something sassy & unique, this is your dress!
