Bump-friendly fit, just watch the neckline & back
Super stretchy, soft material (not itchy at all). Length runs long, perfect on me at 5’10” with heel boots. The only thing is that the top’s sides are cut lower, so I had to adjust it throughout the day. Your bra will show through the back cutouts. I wore a jacket over it, and it was fine. Wrinkle-free, super easy to throw on, and a solid staple black sleeveless dress.

Cozy Winter Cream Sweater Dress
Beautiful cream sweater dress that’s perfect for winter whites. I’m 5’10 and 30 weeks pregnant, and it had plenty of room for my bump while still feeling flattering and supportive. The rugby-style top is a fun detail, length works great with boots, and the fabric is thick enough to skip shapewear not sheer at all. Sleeves were just slightly short for my preference but easy to pull down and totally fine. Not itchy, wrinkle-free, lightweight for travel, and an easy go-to pregnancy staple.

Lightweight, Fun & Bump-Friendly
Super thin mesh material with a really cool, space-like abstract print. The dress is double-layered at the skirt, so I comfortably wore it to work with a cardigan over the sheer top. I’m 5’10 and 30 weeks pregnant, and stuck with my normal size; it has plenty of stretch and room for a bump. The bottom is floaty and flowy, the sleeve length is great for taller frames, and it came out of the bag wrinkle-free (perfect for travel). Very comfortable, unique, and I got lots of compliments.

Versatile, Work-to-Night Staple
I’ve rented this before and loved it again this time, wearing it as a dress during winter at 30 weeks pregnant, and the fit was great. As a dress, it got a little itchy around my stomach by the end of the day, but when worn open as a cardigan and layered, it was totally comfortable. Super versatile piece that works for the office, travel, and date night. Looked great with boots and easily gave me two outfits in one.

Comfy Everyday Sweater Dress
I’m 5’10 and 30 weeks pregnant, and this dress fit perfectly, hit right at my lower shin, and looked great with boots. The material is thinner but not too thin, making it ideal for winter office wear. Super comfortable with no need for shapewear or layering underneath. The stripes are fun and casual, and while there’s a seam that runs across the belly and back (a bit noticeable with a bump), it didn’t bother me. Overall, a great, easy, everyday sweater dress.

Stretchy, Sleek & Bump-Perfect
Super stretchy material that fits like a glove at 30 weeks pregnant. I sized up just in case, and it worked perfectly. I’m 5’10 and the length hit at my lower shin, which looked great with black boots. The boat neckline is a fun, elevated touch, the sleeve length is perfect, and the print feels bold but wearable. Very comfortable and such a great choice for a dinner date or night out.

Work-to-Date Night, Bump-friendly Win
Wore this to work with a cardigan, then removed it for a date night, super versatile and fun. I’m 5’10 and 30 weeks pregnant, and it had plenty of stretch and room. The ruffled detail from the neckline across the chest adds a unique design touch while staying very comfortable. The fabric is very lightweight and slightly sheer (the cardigan worked perfectly for daytime). Came out of the bag wrinkle-free, great for travel, with a bold, standout print I loved.

Gorgeous Print, Very Sheer
Super lightweight, extremely stretchy jersey fabric that’s very comfortable, I’m 5’10 and 26 weeks pregnant, and the length and stretch worked perfectly. The print is really beautiful and unique. That said, the dress is 100% see-through, so you’ll need a slip or layering piece. It came out of the bag wrinkle-free overall (great for travel). Very comfy and stylish, just plan your layers.

Cozy, Stretchy & Bump-Friendly
I’ve rented this dress before (pre-pregnancy), so I knew it would work, and it still fit perfectly at 26 weeks pregnant in my usual medium. The knit gives great belly definition without feeling tight. The print is fun and unique, and the material is thicker but not itchy, making it great for winter. Sleeves run a bit long on me, but I actually liked that. Very comfortable and a cool, standout design.

Bright Color, Travel-Friendly.
Beautiful red long-sleeve shirt dress that came out of the bag completely wrinkle-free, amazing for travel. I’m 5’10 and 26 weeks pregnant, and while I made my normal size work, I’d recommend sizing up for more room through the buttons. The fabric is very lightweight and does show lines, so shapewear may help. Great length for taller frames and a fun winter option to add a pop of color.

Fun Print & Perfect Bump Fit
This dress was absolute perfection at 26 weeks pregnant. I sized up (not knowing how this brand would fit and accounting for my bump), and it worked perfectly. The material is very lightweight, super comfortable, and had plenty of stretch. The print is eye-catching with a cool retro ’70s vibe, not too low-cut in the front, and it came out of the bag completely wrinkle-free, amazing for travel. Flattering, easy to wear all day, and one of my favorite rentals.

Cozy, Chic & Winter-Ready
This jacket is exceptional. I’m 26 weeks pregnant and it still fit comfortably, so it definitely runs a bit roomy. I wore my normal medium, which worked perfectly for layering. The inside is ultra-soft suede, while the outside feels like a cozy teddy texture. The buttons are a little stiff, but the cracked, wrapped design is really unique and stylish. Pockets are great, the length is perfect, and it’s incredibly comfortable. My first time renting from LK Bennett and I absolutely love it, I’ll be living in this jacket all winter. Highly recommend.

Absolutely love this dress — perfect for work or everyday wear and great for a fall transition piece. I’m 5’10 and 15 weeks pregnant; the slightly boxy fit worked well, though I probably could’ve stuck to my normal size instead of sizing up. Top fits comfortably, length is work-appropriate, and it’s a fun, different style that got lots of compliments. Would definitely rent again, maybe in other colors for fall.

Fun & Cozy Fall Piece
I loved this sweater; it’s quirky, cozy, and perfect for fall. It definitely runs oversized (I wore a small at 15 weeks pregnant), but it is still super comfortable. Not itchy at all, you can wear it with or without a layer underneath. Got tons of compliments (and questions about the rooster!). A fun, standout piece that’s easy to rewear, expect an intentionally loose fit.

Perfect Black-Tie Dress; Elegant & Bump-Friendly
Wore this to a fall black-tie wedding in Hilton Head and loved it. The color was gorgeous and perfect for the season. I was 15 weeks pregnant, and it fit beautifully with plenty of room while still flattering my shape. The open back means you’ll need a strapless or adhesive bra. Great length for tall frames and lots of compliments all night; elegant, comfortable, and perfect for early pregnancy.

Stunning Color and Elegant Fit, just a tricky top
The color is stunning, even more beautiful in person. It came right out of the bag without a single wrinkle, ready to wear. I was 15 weeks pregnant and sized up for extra room, which worked perfectly. The waistband hit at just the right spot for my bump, offering plenty of space and comfort without feeling tight, especially great for taller frames. The only downside was the extra fabric on the shoulders; it looked elegant, but felt a bit awkward, and I didn’t trust the fashion tape to hold during a night of dancing. If you’re not planning on a lot of movement, though, this gown would be a perfect choice.

Beautiful Color, Runs Long, and More Bodycon Than Formal
The color is such a standout shade in person. I ordered the long version, but I could have definitely sized down. At 15 weeks pregnant, it still had plenty of room to stretch. The top fit a little awkwardly for me, and while it’s a great last-minute option, I didn’t find it quite right for a black-tie event; the fabric felt a bit too bodycon for that level of formality. That said, it’s a fun, bold color and would be perfect for a dressy cocktail occasion.

Classic Denim Feel, Stick to your size
I’ve been eyeing this jacket for a while, and while it’s a great piece, definitely stick to your true size. I sized up to a large based on reviews (I’m 5’10 and 16 weeks pregnant), and it was way too big. The length hits perfectly for taller frames, and the sleeves are slightly long, which I don’t mind. The denim material feels exactly as expected: sturdy outside, soft and warm inside. Deep pockets and great back length make it super functional. Love the jacket overall, just wish I had stayed with my normal medium.

Boxy Chic, Fall-Ready Layer
The jacket feels high-quality and stylish, perfect for fall. I’m 5’10 and 16 weeks pregnant, and my regular size zipped up comfortably with room to spare. It’s slightly oversized with a boxy, cuffed shape that hits nicely at the hips. The outer fabric feels smooth and luxe, though the arms are a bit itchy, so I’d recommend wearing a long sleeve underneath. Not super warm, but a great transitional statement piece.

Sleek Stretch, Bump-Friendly Backup
This black dress has a sleek, form-fitting cut with a high neck and mid-length hem. The stretchy material makes it super comfortable and bump-friendly; I’m 5’10 and 15 weeks pregnant, wearing my usual size 8. The sleeve openings angle slightly toward the chest, which looks unique but fits a bit differently. No shapewear needed, though a regular bra may peek out slightly in front. It’s a simple, flattering option; nothing exciting, but a solid, safe backup for a wedding or event

This dress looks black online but is actually navy. I got a size up but probably could’ve gone down one size for a more fitted look. Super stretchy, soft, and lightweight; great backup option if you need something easy and comfortable. I’m 5’10 and the length was perfect, but the overall look was a bit plain for me. Ideal if you need a simple, no-fuss navy dress.

Chic Look, Too-High Slit for Tall Frames
Really fun and flattering dress with a bit of stretch and a beautiful fit overall. I’m 5’10 and 15 weeks pregnant, and while it was bump-friendly, the slit on the regular length was way too high; hit right at my hip, which made it unworkable for a formal wedding. I wasn’t able to try the longer version, but that might be a better fit for taller renters. Gorgeous style, just not tall-friendly in the regular length.

Elegant Print, Structured Fit
Beautiful rose print and high-quality material make this dress feel very formal. I’m 5’10 and 15 weeks pregnant, and while I sized up, it was still quite fitted with limited room for a bump. No stretch to the fabric, and I found the top a bit awkward on my smaller chest. Length ran a little short for my height, and it was snug at the waist. Gorgeous design overall, but not the best fit for my current stage.

Beautiful orange-yellow color, such a happy, standout shade. I’m 5’10 and 15 weeks pregnant, and it was very comfortable with plenty of room for a bump while staying true to size. Great length for taller frames and nice flowy movement, perfect for a wedding. Straps are thin and not adjustable, and it sat a bit low on my chest (I’m smaller chested), so it wasn’t my first choice, but still a lovely, comfortable backup option.

Absolutely love this dress, the reviews were spot on. Fits perfectly and is super flattering. Straps are adjustable, which makes it even better. It’s a little low for work, so I styled it with a jean jacket or cream cardigan and it worked great. Fabric is a bit thicker at the bottom (as expected for this style) and the pockets are a big plus. Easy to dress up or down, and definitely a favorite.

I was excited to try this dress, but it was too boxy for my curvier body type and didn’t do much for my shape.
