Comfy and cute!
Worn at 37 weeks to an anniversary dinner. Very comfortable, and plenty of room for 3rd tri bump. The small fit great for me (typically 0-2 before pregnancy). I didn’t need to wear a bra, straps easily adjustable.

Bust: 34B
Tight fit in the bust, but overall a good fit and fun color!
Got lots of compliments on this dress, worn at 32 weeks to a wedding. Usual size 0-2, I ordered the 0 and 1 and ended up needing the larger size and even that was tight in the bust. Overall I was very comfortable though. Prior to pregnancy I was very small chested so for any bustier girls this would probably not be the right pick.

Bust: 34B
Very comfortable, roomy/runs large but tie allows it to be adjusted
Really cute and comfortable maternity dress. I wore this at 31 weeks for a bridal shower. I wore XS, usual size 0-2 and it was a little large in the bust area for me, but with the tie front it easily adjusted. Would rec for 3rd trimester, but probably would run too large for petite ladies in 2nd tri.

Not flattering for bump friendly option
Ordered as a back up for a bump friendly option for second trimester. Ultimately, the way the dress falls it was not flattering. Can’t really tell you’re pregnant, more just fans out in a weird triangle. Ended up wearing my other rented dress even though it was very tight.

Tight in the ribs for a “bump friendly” option
I ordered this dress for a wedding as it was list as a bump friendly option. Worn at 25 weeks/125lb sizing up it was still very tight in the ribs I ended up needed to change after dinner because I couldn’t tolerate it any longer. That being said, there was plenty of room in the bust with adjustable straps and wasn’t too short for a maxi dress for shorter girls. Got a lot of compliments and would have been perfect if not pregnant!

Too short
Rented this for the Taylor Swift Eras tour. I was 22 wks pregnant with a small bump and looking for a bump friendly dress. Typically XS sized up to S. This was ultimately just TOO short, would not feel comfortable wearing without spandex shorts underneath. Also felt in the chest area I would have preferred a tighter fit (currently about a 34C). I had another back up dress that was perfect that I chose instead.

Perfect sparkly dress for Eras tour, bump friendly at 22 weeks
Rented this for Taylor Swift eras tour. I was 22 wks pregnant at the time and it worked perfectly! Typically a size XS but sized up for the bump and it worked great. Material is thick and was a little too much for a hot day, but inside with AC was fine.

Tight but comfortable for petites
I am just nearly between sizes 0-2, but the XS fit tightly but perfectly and I was comfortable all night. Fit great for a small chest I didn’t need a bra. Lots of compliments and the dress held up for a hot wedding in TX. Unfortunately a strap broke while dancing and refused to pin, but luckily fashion tape kept it in place.

Cute comfortable top
Wore this crop top with a high waisted pleated skirt and then high waisted jeans. It is short, but I didn't feel to exposed with a high waisted bottom. Super comfortable, it is kind of open/gaping in the bottom. I typically wear 0-2 and am small chested. If you have a bigger bust this top would still be able to fit without sizing up.

Great dress for a hot day
Wore this lightweight dress for a day of walking in the New York summer heat and it was perfect. The dress needed a light steam after packing but wrinkles came out easy. It is comfortable and was right length for me. I am 5'4". Due to the way the dress hung I didn't feel comfortable not wearing a bra. Would also say to wear light colored undergarments. It is not see through, but the fabric is very lightweight that you can see something darker in the sun.

Wore this to a show in NYC. The material packs really well, I didn't need to steam the dress. It's very comfortable and would be perfect for daytime to casual evening. The color is BRIGHT, but beautiful. You will get noticed!

So flattering and lightweight
This was a second back up dress that I didn't end up wearing, but it was so great I wish I had an occasion for it! It's very lightweight and a flattering cut. I am small chested and would have had to use fashion tape to secure the bust, but I still felt the top flattered me. The color is a subtle beige, not white.

Best dress for petites!
This was a back up dress. I was only able to order the XXSR and was afraid it would be too small, but I squeezed in and had no regrets. The dress is TTS and hugs in all the right areas. I'm small chested and probably wouldn't have been able to make this size work if I had a bigger bust. The length was just at my ankles and I'm 5'4". Got so many compliments! Would rent again.

not for small chested girls
I am a 32A and could not fill out the boobs or rib cage of even the smallest size of this beautiful dress! It does not have any structure so it ended up looking a little like deflated balloons in the front. The multi-colored lace is absolutely gorgeous in person, so sad I couldn't wear it :(

sexy but sophisticated
I wore this to a spring wedding, I've rented a lot of dresses and this is one of my favorites! It appears "see through" but it's really a sheath underneath so not for the conservative crowd. I got so many compliments. I paired with nude heels and red lips/nail polish.

perfect bridal shower dress
I wore this to my spring bridal shower. The dress was perfect. You are able to wear a bra and it is not see through and the perfect modest length even for petite ladies. The only negative I have was that it ended up being 80 degrees that day so we spent most of the day outside and the dress isn't very breathable. One of the more expensive rentals I've done, but it was totally worth it when my future SIL saw me and teared up because I looked "so much like a bride" :)

A tight squeeze, but worth it!
I usually wear a size zero, this was a little tight and the 2 was just a little big. I made the 0 work and it was worth it! I loved the way it looked. I did not feel the need to wear spanx it is very flattering to the tummy area. The only issue is that the arms are tight! Raising them above the head is difficult and so is the bottom of the dress. I wore it to a wedding and basically couldn't dance. I got tons of compliments though :)

my favorite RTR to date! perfect for a fall wedding
absolutely loved this dress. I had to pin the straps, but it was so worth it. It is comfortable and the drape of the top does not require that you wear a bra. I've never received so many compliments on a dress. I know many other subscribers wore it in summer, but it was perfect for a fall wedding paired with dark berry lipstick.

comfortable and beautiful!
This was actually my back-up dress, but I think it was even better than the one I originally picked out. The color was beautiful and the size zero fit like a glove. You're able to wear a bra and it has pockets! Comfortable and easy to dance in - I wore this to a wedding in Atlanta in August and I was actually very comfortable in the heat. Only critique is that the lace was fraying a bit, but I still got lots of compliments.

comfortable dress and fun with the open back.
This dress was fun to wear, I've never done an open back before. Both sizes fit and were comfortable. I went with the 2 just because the length on the 0 was a little too short for a wedding.

Beautiful and fun flowy skirt. Very tight around the neck.
I wore this dress to a summer wedding. I had ordered a second dress size S that didn't arrive, but fortunately I squeezed into the XS. The bust of the dress was tight, but fine for me because I'm very small chested. However, the top around the neck was very tight, which did get uncomfortable by the end of the night. The dress was beautiful though and for the most part I felt fine in it. I got lots of compliments and loved dancing in the flowy skirt!

Great dress! A little tight and short, but beautiful and overall comfortable.
The size zero did run a little small and was much shorter than I imagined (typically short dresses look standard length on my small frame). The size 2 was way too large and long so I'm happy I squeezed into the smaller size. Overall very comfortable and easy to dance in. I got more than one compliment on the dress. Great for a fall wedding.
