Definitely not for pregnancy
I don't know why this is recommended for the second and third trimester maternity. I'm currently 31 weeks and this was way too tight and unflattering on my bump in all the wrong places. The pattern especially does not do any favors. It gave me a muffin top - I didn't even think that was possible in a dress, but there you go. Pregnant ladies, look elsewhere!

Super short and tight but cute
I'm surprised this fit my third trimester pregnancy bump. It's definitely not maternity wear and is veeeeeeery short. But I did get compliments on it. It was weird to me that it didn't have a zipper since it's not very stretchy. Probably best with tights if you want to look semi-professional!

Kind of matronly
I rented this for my third trimester of pregnancy and needed something with a semi-long skirt. It was comfortable enough but I never looked forward to wearing it bc it felt so matronly. The sleeves are an odd length and I wish they'd either just made them short or long. Okay for maternity wear but nothing to write home about.

Perfect casual maternity dress for warm weather
I loved how comfortable and roomy this was for my second trimester bump. My only gripe is that it was way too big in the bust (and that's after my boobs got bigger from the pregnancy lol), so size down!

Too tight in all the wrong places.
I rented this specifically bc it was recommended for pregnancy/maternity (currently in my second trimester) but this did me no favors, especially in the tummy area. I've worn plenty of fitted maternity dresses that were flattering, but this obviously isn't a maternity dress and just made my stomach and hips look like one giant roll. No, thank you! Not a fan.

Too small - size up!
Full disclosure: I am in my first trimester of pregnancy. HOWEVER, we're not talking a significant bump here. This dress is so cute but way too tight all over, including the bust/shoulders. I can't say how it wears bc it was too small, I had to return it, and there were no bigger sizes available to swap.

Super unflattering fit
I'm currently pregnant and nearing the second trimester. I needed a dress with lots of room to breathe in the stomach. This dress did have that going for it, but dear gawd was it unflattering and hung on me like a sack of potatoes. It accentuated all the wrong parts of my body and made me feel so frumpy. If you look like the model in the pic or have an hourglass figure, you should be fine. But for the rest of us, especially those of us with bumps and lumps, steer clear.
