Cute and simple
Wore to a park brunch -- casual but flattering. Wore my pre-pregnancy size at 32 weeks

Size up!
I'm a 2 pre-pregnancy and at 34 weeks the Small was very tight and short. I had gotten a Small in this brand earlier on but this runs smaller than the other dress. The material is nice, sort of suede like. The slit hits in a weird spot but if it fit me better may be less awkward.

Super cute for pregnancy
Loved this dress, very flowy yet flattering at 33 weeks. Would normally have been an XS; this pregnant I still likely could have done an XS just as much as a S, depends how flowy you want the look to be.

Loved this
Tons of compliments for a simple weekend outfit. Fit well but I may go up to a medium if I rent again later in pregnancy.

Mixed feelings
Comfy but not that flattering. I think it was the length. It needed to either be longer or shorter; hitting just below the knee in this style wasn't flattering. Band around middle was quite snug getting on and off at 33 weeks, but fine when on. No need for a slip as other reviews suggested.

Size down even for maternity....
I recently wore a similar form fitting dress from this same designer in a Medium so went with that size for this too - this was a mistake! This dress is WAY bigger than the other dress and has way more fabric in the chest and hips. Even at 33 weeks pregnant I should have gotten the Small. Pre-pregnancy I am a size 2, 5'8" and 135; I now weigh 156. I still wore it, but it was not super flattering as it bunched up a lot in several areas.

Super flattering
Almost too flattering for work! Pair with a blazer to make it a little less sexy, as it's very form fitting. I would pre-pregnancy be a size 2 but got a S rather than XS and was glad I did. Since there is a ribbed texture the XS would have stretched that out and looked too small. In a maxi dress of this same brand I went with XS, so take into account the nature of the dress.

Not flattering for pregnancy
I was hoping this would be a fun dress for summer at 31 weeks pregnant but it was still really giant and a bit too short. The ruffles and print were a lot going on with a belly, too. Would be cute for someone younger and would size wayyyy down, even knowing it's intentionally an oversized and loose fit.

Great for third trimester
I would normally wear a 2 but since I'm 32 weeks pregnant and up to 154 lbs the Medium fit well. Could have probably squeezed into a Small but wouldn't have been as comfortable and the stripes may have been stretched and warped. More flattering than I expected.

Fun and flattering
Great third trimester pick. I would normally wear 2 and XS was perfect. It's a light material so comfy to wear, yet looks quite nice (I thought nicer than I expected). Pair with a black blazer for work.

Summer shower dress
Wore this to our outdoor picnic baby shower at 31 weeks. Super cute and flowy so kept me cool. The elastic around the top is a little big and if I wasn't pregnant the XS would have been needed but S gave me the extra room and I only occasionally had to adjust the top. Will need a strapless bra or frankly I ditched mine toward the end as it was sweaty and you still couldn't tell with the dress!

Cute but more pink than it looks
Good summer work piece, but much more of a light pink than a creamy blush. Felt it was a bit more informal because of that but still a perfectly good piece for work. 0 still fit at 30 weeks
Blush Farah Maternity Dress

Good work piece
Wore this when I needed a suit with my own suit jacket. It looked nice and formal when put together with that. It was a bit tight though in small at 30 weeks. You can sort of adjust where it hits on your belly, though, which is nice. If I need a formal work outfit again during my pregnancy I will get a medium to accommodate my bump a little better.

Super fun for maternity
Works great for maternity at 29 weeks. It isn't too short so it can accommodate a bump without becoming too short. The color and fabric cutouts is obviously bright and fun for summer and makes you feel upbeat. I probably would have done an XS for normal wear but S was good for keeping it loose and flowy and comfy for maternity.

Comfy for third trimester but big
Normally would wear a 2 but almost 30 weeks. The Small was still quite big and billowy. It was comfy and looked nice for casual weekend wear, but I could have almost certainly done an XS and still had it be loose. I am 5'8" and the dress was literally almost touching the ground, so it's definitely best for taller people (or with wedges/heels).

Cute casual dress
I wear a 2 pre-pregnancy but should have gone with a small for this one. The x-small still fit, since it has elastic around it, but the small would have been more comfortable at 29 weeks given the changes at this point.

Works for maternity
Wore this to a casual rehearsal dinner. Flowy and comfortable for summer maternity (29 weeks) by sizing up. Normally would be a 2 and I got a 6, honestly the 4 would have been better for the top half but this was a last minute rental from the flagship store so I went with what they had stocked. It was super comfortable and nice for a hot night.

Lovely formal dress for third trimester
This dress isn't maternity but by sizing up, it looks fantastic and was really flattering. I debated what size to get; I'd normally be a US 2. I am 5'8" and currently weigh about 151 in the 29th week. I ordered the 10R European size and it looked great, but I think I could have sized down one more and prevented some fabric scrunching in the back and under my chest/ in the armpits. It was probably a bit more comfortable at the size I ordered, though, so if you are debating you will probably be fine with either. The thick fabric wasn't the best for a 93 degree day but I survived. You will want a pair of commando brand underwear or something similarly seamless for underneath.

great maternity jeans
These were so great I actually bought them as I quickly realized I would not return them the entire rest of my pregnancy. I normally wear a size 27 pre-pregnancy and the same size worked now (my measurements are current 28 week pregancy measurements). These sit below the bump. They are super comfy — not too tight with enough stretch while still being slim fitting — and flattering.

Great work piece
Nice bright color and super flattering fit for my bump. Nice for work with or without a black jacket over it. Normally wear a 2 in dresses pre-maternity and S fit perfectly at 28 weeks.
