Great baby shower dress
Even on a partly sunny day, low 70s day, this dress was very warm.

Good sweater, a little itchy
This was a good and very warm sweater, which showed off the bump. I wore this the end of my second trimester and into the beginning of my third trimester. The material is a little itchy.

Perfect dress for maternity shoot
I wore this for my maternity photos at 30 weeks. The dress flowed perfectly. The wrap let's you adjust to your size, but as others have mentioned, the bust area is very loose. I had to safety pin it together in the front and put the straps at the shortest length possible.

Worked well as a maternity dress
I wore this 25-26 weeks pregnant and it worked well as a maternity dress. If I was any more pregnant, I think I'd need to size up because of the zipper. I wore this with a denim jacket and received lots of compliments. It's a very bright yellow so it was perfect for the summer. One downside...the straps are quite long and I had to safety pin them in the back.

Fun, bright color for baby shower
I wore this dress to a baby shower (not mine) at 26 weeks pregnant. It's a fun, cute, bright colored dress that hides the bump in some angles and accentuates the bump in other angles. It hits a few inches above the knee. After sitting for a long time, the dress can get stuck to the back of your legs though. I'd rent this again.

Pretty dress...horrible zipper
I rented this as a possible maternity shoot dress because of the beautiful color and design. I didn't end up wearing it because when I tried this on at 26 weeks pregnant, the zipper and side boning were a major problem. I was able to zip up the dress, but not before my husband and I made our fingers numb trying to get the zipper over one of the seams. Once the dress was zipped, the side boning was too high because of my bump.

Love it! Super cute!
Best denim jacket ever that goes great over a dress or skirt and tank top. The bomber jacket look and star on the back makes this item look so much more unique and elevates it above a regular denim jacket.

No stretch. Runs very small.
Very cute pair of jeans, but runs super small. I ordered 2 sizes up based on the reviews and it was still tight on me. Maternity jeans should be stretchy and this has no stretch at all. When I put the jeans on, I had to pull it up in sections and flipped a nail in the process. The material is also on the thicker side. A softer denim would have been better.

Beautiful dress, but didn't wear it
I would try to rent this again when I'm not pregnant. With the bump, the dress doesn't fall and flow as well as it should. The armholes are also very large so it's hard to wear a bra. I like this one more than the red version.

Super flattering and chic
Beautiful dress in a beautiful color. I got lots of compliments throughout the night. I'm 22 weeks pregnant and the dress perfectly accentuated my bump. I love the off-the-shoulder look and asymmetrical arms. The fabric is thicker than I thought based on the photos. It's more like a light sweater material. The dress doesn't stay put on your shoulders though as you use your arms. It'll constantly rise up and you'll have to keep pulling it off your shoulders.

Large armholes and fabric shows imperfections
I had such high hopes for this dress but didn't end up wearing this gown. Like other reviews, the armholes are really big. That's fine if you're more blessed up top and can go bra-less, but for 34B me, it made me look flat chested even with sticky bra cups which are tricky to wear cause of the cut of the dress. Also, I'm 19 weeks pregnant and the bump made the fabric pull in certain areas that were unflattering. It didn't flow and sit well.

Small armholes and weird front panel
I liked the asymmetrical hem line. It looks small out of the bag, but has a lot of stretch. I'm 19 weeks pregnant and felt I could pull this off. However, I feel the armholes are too small to the point where the bottom of the armhole was touching my armpit. The pictures don't show a strange front panel that looks out of place. I didn't end up wearing this dress and returned it for something else.
