Cute but not practical

Fit was fine with base layers and I'm between an xs and s. I could've sized down. It's fashionable but not practical. No venting and very warm. If you're skiing in warmer temps you will sweat your ass off.

This was the most annoying dress

I either wear xs or s depending on designer (125 5'8") and while it "fit" just fine and no bra needed the lining constantly rode up. Maybe if you're shorter it won't be a problem but if tall beware you'll be fighting it the whole time. It's a shame because it's a beautiful dress but it just was very annoying all night

It was way too short. I’m 5’8” and do have long legs so maybe it will fit others better but it came up above my ankle and just looked like I had on the wrong size. The rest of it fit really well actually. I wish the long had been in stock!

Ended up not wearing. I don't have wide shoulders but it almost looked like the sleeves were too narrow at the top and made some weird bunching. It also just seemed long and hit awkwardly even with the ties pulled up. Maybe would look better for someone with more curves

Long size saved the day

I really liked this dress and was between the 4R and 6R. The 4R just didn't zip and the 6R was way too big. I saw that someone else with a short torso recommended the long size, so I went with that and it fit me perfectly. I am 5'8" and the length was great with heels. The dress is snug, so no room to stretch. I am always between a 2 and 4 and was perfectly comfortable in the 4L.

A litlte snug so size up!

I am about a week and a half postpartum with twins, and although I'm not back to my prepregnancy size I thought this would fit in a small as i look about five months pregnant (I was having to size up in maternity during the end of my pregnancy). The sweater is so soft but just wasnt flattering on me because it was so snug. I may try renting in a large because I would prefer a looser fit.

Really loved this maternity dress

I'm 33 weeks pregnant with twins and getting to the point where even maternity clothes aren't fitting properly. I rented this in a M to compensate for my unusually large belly, and it fit perfectly. It was actually flattering (as flattering as maternity clothes can be), the fabric was nice and comfortable and I really liked the pattern. I feel like a lot of things at this point are making me look larger than I am because they fit like a tent but didn't feel that way in this dress. If my belly wasn't so large I probably would have gotten a S (my pre pregnancy size was XS or S for reference).

Could have been better

This wasn't my first choice but the handbag I wanted to rent was unavailable/damaged so I went with this as i wanted something small and versatile that could be dressed up or down. I thought the two strap option was great but I couldn't use the thicker leather strap as it was bent and curled up on the ends. I ended up using the chain which was fine but didn't look as nice as the strap (had it been in better condition). I only wore it a couple of times because it wasn't my favorite. It does fit wallet, keys, cell phone and lipgloss with no problem.

Huge - even at 34 weeks pregnant

I read the reviews that said this ran large, but I'm currently 34 weeks pregnant with twins and figured this would be a good maternity option. I rented the medium (pre pregnancy i would have gotten an XS) and it swallowed me, twin belly and all! It made me look even bigger than I am, which is the last thing i want right now so i ended up not wearing it. The quality seemed nice but if I decide to try it again I would definitely size down!

Nice color and good maternity option

I wore this with a white maternity shirt underneath and with jeans. The color is really nice and this fit true to size. I would normally wear an xs but got a small because I'm pregnant and wanted it to be a little bigger. Doesn't seem to be the highest quality item (compared to some that I've rented on RTR) but is a good sweater for layering.

Bump Friendly

I am 32 weeks pregnant with twins so I have a big of a larger bump than most (I even have trouble with maternity clothes these days). My usual size is a S or XS but I got this in a large to ensure it would fit over my belly. It worked really well and I wore it twice - on the weekend with jeans and with slacks to work another day. My one complaint is that I noticed it had a snag after the first time I wore it. I don't recall doing anything that would have done that, but I think the sweater just may be delicate. The sleeves are a bell sleeve which I thought made it look better than a plain sweater. If your normal size is small and you're not carrying twins (or very late in your pregnancy) you can probably get by with a medium pretty easily as this does run big.

Runs a little small in my opinion

I'm currently ~32 weeks with twins and definitely have a bump that's more like a full term pregnancy at this point, however I sized up from a small which is my usual maternity size to a medium. It was a fight to get it over my belly and just wasn't flattering once on because it was so tight. The dress isn't meant to be tight so I thought sizing up to a medium would more than compensate but it still didn't work. It fit well in the chest, arms and shoulders so I feel like a large may look too baggy up top on me. If you're second trimester and not carrying twins this probably will work for you in your regular size, but be mindful that you may need to size up if you're later in pregnancy and have multiples!

Bump friendly but too itchy!

I am currently 28w pregnant w twins and thought this sweater would be a good choice to hopefully fit over my belly due to the side slits. I got a medium (pre-preg I would have gotten this in XS) and it fit perfectly. However, i couldn't stand it for more than a couple of minutes because it was so itchy. Not just around my belly which is definitely more sensitive, but all over. Really disappointing because it is a cute sweater.

A bit boxy but bump friendly

I rented this for work and sized up from my usual pre pregnancy size of xs or sm to a large. The top is made to be a little boxy so I probably could have gotten away with a medium. I'm currently 26w with twins and was able to make it work. One thing to note is that the sides are held together with buttons that do show a little skin in between. This wasn't a problem for me because I had black maternity pants that went over my belly. Might want to keep this in mind if you're wearing regular jeans or maternity pants that have a different color fabric that stretches over your belly that you would prefer not to show.

Fit over my pregnancy bump but just not flattering

I ordered this coat because it was listed as oversized and I really wanted to avoid buying a maternity coat. I ordered this in a medium and it was still huge. I'm about 27 weeks pregnant with twins and even with my massive belly there was still so much more fabric. I would consider trying the small, but I think this style just isn't flattering for me right now. My husband also thought it looked like a bath robe. Also, I felt the color was more dull and muddy looking than the camel color it appears to be on the model. I will say it's nicely made and the fabric was very soft. Bummed out it didn't work.

Pregnancy friendly but size down!

I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant with twins and I ordered a medium (was actually on the fence about ordering a large!) and literally another person could fit in this with me. It almost looked like a short baby doll dress. The pattern is cute and if it fit, I think it would have looked nice, but it was just way too big...even with me being pregnant. I might try it again in a small or even XS which were my pre pregnancy sizes because the length is good for covering the belly and it's flowy enough that there should be enough room. And obviously if you're not pregnant, be sure to go a size down from usual!

Pregnancy Friendly

I have rented this dress pre pregnancy and while pregnant and loved it both times. Pre-pregnancy I wore a size 0 or 2 and I rented and wore the smallest size available in this dress (can't recall what that is right now) which fit me perfectly. At 25 weeks with twins, the 44 fit over my belly really well because the dress cuts in high in the front then low in the back. The fabric is also light and comfortable.

I really liked this dress but was unable to wear it. I ordered my pre pregnancy size based on the reviews and it was just too short. It does run large, and fit over my belly but I probably should have gotten a larger size so there would have been more fabric for the length.

I wore this out to dinner with my husband and also plan to wear it to work with black maternity slacks. The top is super comfortable and is easily dressed up or down. Pre pregnancy I typically wore a 0 or 2 in DVF so I went with the 6 and it fit perfectly. I'm currently 25 weeks with twins and weigh about 20lbs over my pre pregnancy weight.

Runs really large and great for maternity

I'm five months pregnant with twins, 32D and ordered the small the first time around, which typically fit me pre pregnancy but i figured it would still work since this dress is loose. I was swimming in it, even with a twin bump. The arm holes hung down so low that I couldn't make it work. I ordered the XS when it was available and it fit perfectly. The colors are great and it would be cute not pregnant but definitely a good choice if you are! Be sure and size down!

Awkward

I can wear an XS depending on the dress, but went with a S to be safe. It fit perfectly in the bust, but the waist was too big. Another issue was that you have to be careful sitting because the slit in the front lays open and the under fabric is practically see through. I also felt like the material felt a little cheap. This wasn't my favorite.

Cute coat, but not that warm

I wore this for about a week but once temperatures got into the low 50s I found myself shivering in this coat and sent it back. It's cute, but it's just not that warm. However, the collar is nice and if you flip it up, it's good for blocking the wind. I got the small which was a bit boxy, but I don't think an XS would work because it would have been too short in the arms. Also, the zipper was kind of a pain, so this wasn't my favorite coat.

Cute dress, but size up

I have ordered some dresses in this brand in a zero that were almost too big on me, but not the case with this one. I really wish I had sized up because whenever I moved my arms up in this, the whole dress moved too, so I kept having to pull it down. I also thought for some reason this was like a sweater or knit fabric, but it's more like a polyester fabric so it's even nicer in person. The cut of the dress is really cute, and i would probably rent it again in a larger size.
