Runs Small .. Not Comfortable
Rented in a size 10 even though pre-preg size was usually 8. Still VERY small - especially in the shoulders/chest area. I'm a little claustrophobic and wearing this for an entire evening reception almost put me in a panic attack. Sleeves were also a little short - not sure if that's part of the design. Fabric was not really comfortable - made me sweat. That said, got a lot of compliments (the neckline and tie detail were cute).
Black Ruffle Maternity Dress
Sail to Sable
Size Worn: 10
Usual Size: 8
Height: 5' 6"
Good Work Dress
Rented this to wear for client meetings - looked nice, fabric not too thin, was quite comfortable. Wore with black tights and booties (wore during winter in NYC) - also wore with a long cardigan, and was glad to have the rear covered. I rented a M and probably could have gone with a L - my pre-preg sizing fluctuated between M and L and I wore this at 25w (and carry big).
Plaid Maternity Sheath

Loved - Perfect for Winter and Early Spring
Loved this coat - wore every day for almost 2 months. Inside is crazy soft. Loved that the hood was removable (in a non-obvious way). Took it on babymoon to London, and it kept me warm through the bouts of wind and rain. I really liked that it had zipper, button and tie closures. I rented in a 10, probably would have been fine with an 8 (pre-preg size).

Most Comfortable Item In My Closet - Bought It!
Rented this through RTR Unlimited to wear to work (biz casual office) and for everyday. True to pre-preg size (M for me) and have been able to wear since I first rented at 25w (I'm 34w now). So incredibly soft and comfortable. Feel like I'm wearing a pajama top - except a pajama top that I get a ton of compliments on. The bell sleeves class it up - they can kind of get in the way a bit but you get used to them. So versatile - can dress up with a scarf or necklace. Wound up buying because it can carry me through the next month (might be a little heavy of material for summer), and then will be perfect and forgiving in the fall and winter (when I'm post-partum).
