Great Maternity Dress! Recommended for 2nd trimester
This dress is perfect for a growing belly, while being cute and comfortable in the summer months! Because of the appropriate length, I was able to wear this with a light cardigan and flats to work, as well as on it's own with some bright jewelry on the weekends. I'd recommend this for the 1st and 2nd trimester, but Mom's with smaller frames may be able to wear this into their 3rd trimester as well.

Cute, 2nd Trimester, Maternity Shorts!
The only reason I did not give these shorts a 5-star rating is because for my body, it does not appear they can/should be worn later in pregnancy (late 3rd trimester). I'm finishing up month 4, almost month 5 in pregnancy and these shorts are cute and help me feel confident to maintain nice style while my body is transitioning. I would recommend these shorts for anyone expanding in their first/second trimesters.

Beautiful dress to celebrate the New Year!
Height: 5'5 / Weight when dress worn: 175 / Body type : Hourglass / Bust: 36D I cannot gush about this dress enough! The sparkle was perfect for New Years Eve, and although I did have to wear a jacket due to weather, when I could display just the dress itself indoors, it was truly stunning. Lots of compliments were received, and I recommend trying one size down; while the 10R fit, it was just loose enough to try the 8R, which looked better and was still comfortable.

I had so much fun with this cute and comfortable dress!
I wore this dress for a 4th of July party; don't worry, it was tame and I was not near the fireworks :) The material is a nice shade of red (I do not care for red/orange items on me) and very good quality. The length was appropriate, in flats, and I felt cute and comfortable around family; because it was not fitted at the waist, instead of being a bit anxious any imperfections, I could just have fun and enjoy the celebration. Sizing: I'm 5'5 and when I wore this approximately 165 lbs; depending on the brand, my bra size ranges from 34C to 34D, and the closest shape I can describe for my body would be hourglass. I think the Medium would have also been an appropriate choice, but I was very comfortable in the Large.

I do not think this is the best dress for bodies with fuller bottoms.
This was one of a few options I was considering for a wedding; the dress is very nice and elegant, however even getting a size up did not help the fact that it wasn't flattering with my fuller bottom half. In this case, the size wasn't the issue, as it could zip with comfort, but it accentuated the bottom half in a non flattering way/bunched; maybe this dress is best for someone a bit taller and leaner?

Cute Top! Be aware of the front opening :)
A few reviews mentioned the keyhole opening in this top, and I would agree that you should be aware of front! The top is cute, has good quality material, and vibrant color, however I do need to mention the opening again (my husband thought my top was coming undone the first time he saw it)

Great for a sunny Florida day!
I ended up liking this dress more than I did when I originally placed my order! I'm 5'5 with an hourglass shape, and this LP piece was comfortable and flattering without being fitted. The colors are vibrant and the dress was complimented several times on a sunny day out :)

Perfect dress for Spring or Summer day event
This dress looked even better than I expected! I received several compliments on the style and color, and I felt very comfortable in the thicker fabric and appropriate length to wear around family. I would rent this dress again, and may even buy it! I'm 5'5 with an hour glass figure, and currently vary between sizes 8-12, depending on the brand.

I love this dress! I am debating purchasing it :)
I wore this for a my friend's birthday party - dinner, drinks, and dancing I love the look and feel of this dress; it also photographs well! Although the dress is short, even with my larger than average bottom, I felt comfortable knowing nothing was 'hanging out' through the night.

Great for a holiday party!
This dress was eye catching for the public and comfortable for the person wearing it! We attended a holiday party for my husband's company and I received several compliments on this flashy dress, that upholds designer level class. I would rent this dress again.

This dress is perfect for a daytime formal event or a summer evening event
I received several compliments on this dress. I wore it to celebrate a friends birthday party, which was during the day. It would also be great for a summer evening event, or to celebrate a wedding. My size range can be anywhere from 6 - 10, depending on the brand; the Medium fit well. The black, white, and lace make for a classic look, and the dress photographs well. Classy look!

This is a very pretty dress for a day time event, or even a nice summer day at work.
I enjoyed the bright colors and style details of this dress. I wore this once for a daytime brunch party, as well as once to work; the length fell just above my knee. My dress sizes can range from 6 to 10, and I chose the Medium as a result; I enjoyed the flow and comfort, but I could have worn the small for a more shapely fit. Very pretty!
