So fun
Absolutely loved these. Definitely needs a steam ahead of time but the fabric is really light so it took just a couple minutes. Such a fun summer piece!

Not good for full thighs
I'm a 16/18 but these were too tight in the thigh and made the crotch super bunched up. I couldn't wear and was bummed. So cute - wish they fit!

Perfect!
Awesome fit, high quality and feminine. Wore to two different work events and it was perfect. I'm 8 months postpartum and definitely haven't "bounced back" and this was a great style where it was fitted without attention in any of my more insecure areas.

High quality material
I wish this was a bit longer but it worked well for the outfit I planned it for. It would’ve been too short for me with pants but it worked with a high waisted skirt. Really nice material that doesn’t stick to every curve which I very much appreciated being 3 months postpartum

Easy!
Really liked this! Super comfortable material and thick too. Buttons definitely elevate it. It was a little loose fitting at the bottom and that made it feel a little less formal but that was fine for what I wore it for. I’m 3 months postpartum and was very pleasantly surprised with how this hung. I felt really good in it!

Perfect for late second trimester
Ended up buying this because it was an easy maternity staple. It rode up a little here and there but not a big deal. Only giving 4 stars because there was nothing special about it, but it fit nicely and looked professional which is what I needed.

Worked for third trimester
As others have mentioned, the shoulders seem to fit off. Everything was very form fitting but then it seemed to have a good bit of extra material around the armpits. I thought it was good enough especially with my hair down so I went with it. Liked this but didn’t love it - but finding nice dresses at 34 weeks pregnant is a challenge so I’d still say it was a win

Worked so well for third trimester!
I needed a dress for an evening fundraiser and was having a hard time finding a good option in the maternity section. While this wasn’t maternity, it had enough give that it accommodated my 34 week belly. I added a belt which wasn’t necessary but helped to pull it into an outfit with jewelry. I felt professional and conservative without having to wear something billowy which just doesn’t look great at my size. I was a 14 pre pregnancy and would probably be a 16 now if not for the bump. The XXL worked perfect. Fitted but not tight. Also the material is soft with zero itch!

Awesome blazer for maternity
This would totally work not pregnant but I appreciated it so much more while pregnant. Sometimes maternity blazers just have so much material to compensate for the belly and it looks unflattering in a larger size. I loved that this blazer had the ties on the sides to break up the material a bit. It felt comfortable and I felt very put together. Stuck with my pre-pregnancy size at second trimester and I think that’s the way to go.

Too small/didn’t fit right, didn’t wear
These just didn’t sit right in the hip/bump area. There was lots of bunching if I had the waistband under my bump but they wouldn’t go up high enough to wear on/over my bump.

Fav maternity rental
I really loved this one! Wore at about 29 weeks during my second pregnancy, so the bump is bumping. I’ve been feeling so large and frumpy and this dress really made me feel myself. It was comfortable for a long day of meetings and travel, and bonus didn’t get wrinkly after hours in the car. Highly recommend! I could see this being good first through third trimester! I was a size 14 pre pregnancy and am probably a 16 now - XL fit perfect

Bump friendly!
Wore this at 27 weeks pregnant and was so pleasantly surprised it fit well and was really comfortable in the summer heat. This is my second pregnancy and I’m way bigger than my first - probably could’ve gotten away with this at 40 weeks with my first!

A really unflattering denim. I loved the look in the pictures but it was way too thick, stiff and bulky in real life. I was bummed!

Beautiful fit
Wish I had a full length photo to share but this fit so nicely. I wore this at 11 months postpartum and am still growing into the changes in my midsection so I was a little nervous this would be too form fitting. I wore some spanx for a little extra peace of mind but not sure that was even necessary. Hugged the right places but was well structured enough to skim over the areas I didn’t want featured. Loved it!

Great everyday summer outfit
Someone else said it was difficult to get on and I definitely hard that experience. I'm 5'9" and it fit, but an extra inch in the torso would've been perfect, and I actually have a short-ish torso. Otherwise really cute, comfortable, and great for hot weather.

Really cute sweatshirt but it was so big and boxy. It made my shoulders look extra large. I'll rent again but I'm going with a small.

Fit was off
This is really cute, but didn't fit correctly. I think it may have been too short because the hip area seemed to hit too high which led to excess material above my hips and then snug material around my hips. I don't think a bigger size would've fit either. Maybe just not right for me.

Tons of compliments
At first I felt a little self conscious in this. The thighs felt a little snug and the waist felt a little baggy, but I got tons of compliments! The dress loosened up a bit while I wore it which made the thigh area fit perfect after sitting for a bit. Very Claire Underwood!

Absolutely loved this! Super high quality and a beautiful color. Got tons of compliments. Runs a tad large but it looked good that way. Could size down one for a more fitted look too.

Great tailoring
The fit was on point but the material was very different than I expected. I was imagining more of a knit and it was actually very spandexy. It was good for work but I probably wouldn't rent again. Just average for me.
