It's okay
The yoke on the top of the neck slip isn't secured so you'll need to flip it back inside after you put on. It's a more crude construction than I was expecting, but I guess it's due to the fabric being so delicate. This fit my 7-month bump when I ordered but it doesn't seem like there's room for growth. It does have pockets though and that's always nice!

Yvonne Ruffle Dress

Usual Size: 10
Height: 5' 4"
Weight: 170lbs
Bust: 38C
The top IS cut strange
As other reviewers have noted. I had to safety pin it to the middle of my bra so my boobs weren't hanging out. Sizing down may have helped because it was overall a loose fit and there was no way of tightening (without more extensive safety pin work), so on me it hung like a bag. Also discovered in person the color is more pink than brown, fyi.

It's not quite a dress
This one is beautiful and I love the color, but its definitely more of a tunic. First, the arm holes are cut pretty big, so depending on your undergarments, there's a chance you can see a bra underneath. Second, and more important to me, is as you move your arms around, the "dress" will lift up, so what starts as a work-appropriate length become not appropriate real quick. I wasn't comfortable wearing without leggings (which works fine in winter and is a cute look. But I rented thinking I could style it different way to get more wear out of it and that didn't work out). Lastly, the dress is a bit tapered at the bottom. Comfortable enough for walking, but any time I tried to get into the car I found it limited my range of motion.

Nice dress
Wore at 26 weeks pregnant. Fun pattern, comfortable material and cut. Would recommend. (For the record, worth 5 stars, but its not quite my style, so I gave it 4 in case that influences my recommendations)

Fun, colorful, and comfortable
Wore this at 26 weeks pregnant for a NYE party and with a cardigan over it to work later in the week. Super comfortable, beautifully made. Would be great for pregnant and non-pregnant ladies. I did have to use some safety pins to keep my bra from showing.

For skinny armed gals
Skip this one if you have chubby arms or any degree of pregnancy swelling. I felt like a fat guy in a skinny coat. Couldn't wear this one

6R was too small 10R was too small AND too big
I didn't wear it. This was suggested as a maternity item. The 6 didn't fit over the bump. Tried again with the 10, which was snug on the bump and gappy in the back/shoulders. Basically had to give myself a wedgie to be able to reach around and zip it up. Imagine having to do that every time you go to the bathroom (which is a lot when you're pregnant). It was a really great length for someone who's 5"4 with shorter legs. Apart from that this was a total bust for me.

Great sweater
It was cozy, comfortable, and flattering. This is the item from my last shipment that I kept reaching for. My sister was disappointed to learn it was a rental and that she wouldn't be able to borrow it from me.

Less giving than expected of maternity
No stretch to the fabric, which surprised me for maternity. It fit like a glove. Doubt I'd be able to wear it one week further into pregnancy. Added a slip to reduce panty lines, but that kinda got caught on the fabric when I walked and looked funny. Definitely not good for cold weather.

Too snug for me
Beautiful dress, and I got lots of compliments on the style and color, but there's no stretch. I sized up due to pregnancy, but the waist and shoulders were tight. Like, don't plan on raising your arms in this dress

Runs small
Even though its maternity so your normal size should fit, these were very snug. I would have loved them if I had the right size though.

Wedding
This has been one of the best fits I've had yet from RTR. The dress was beautiful, flattering, and comfortable -- though it was a smidge long. I'm 5'4" and wore probably 3" heels and was fine for the most part; length was less of an issue than I thought it would be based on other reviews. My only regret is that it looked much closer to white than mint. The backup size I ordered was from a different dye lot and that color was definitely more mint (even had a different color zipper). I would recommend for a formal event, but not a wedding. Oh, and also, because the way the dress is structured, throwing your hands up in the air is kind of awkward, though by the end of the night I was dancing like I didn't care.
