Fun, cute dress
There's a hidden elastic band and snap under the bust that holds everything together between the front buttons, so the dress is well constructed for maternity. I felt cute, it's a very pretty dress.

Red Zippi Maternity Dress

Beautiful twirly dress
This dress makes a statement without being over the top. Its elegant and comfortable. Great wrinkle resistant fabric for travel, but it does run very large on top. The straps are long, they slid down a bit all night, and the bust is roomier than expected. I would usually wear a M but the S had plenty of room.

So cute
I loved these earrings. They added the perfect flair to my outfit. Now I want to find a pair for keeps.

Great low-key but memorable dress
I tend to judge dress rentals by how many compliments they elicit from strangers. This dress got many. It's a simple style, but the print and quality of it are striking.

Not just basic black
This dress has a lovely woven red patterned panel down the middle that makes it really pretty and interesting. The shape is basically figure flattering, but due to the difference in the weight/strength of fabric on the thick black and thin red panels, the dress doesn't offer any help concealing the stomach area. Also, the strange seaming on the bust makes it protrude in the center of your chest in a uniboob fashion. Not terribly noticeable, but kind of annoying. Still, a very fun and unique black dress that I would wear again.

Quality bag showing some wear
I rented this bag for a weekend away, and it's now one that I would really like to own! Its a great small, but functional size with a nice long strap. Some of the black finish was coming off the hardware from all of its previous rentals, so I was a little disappointed with the condition.

Beautiful, sexy, flattering dress
This dress is very tight and form fitting, so there's no hiding your food baby, but the material is substantial enough that it also flatters curves. I was lucky enough to get this dress brand new with tags on it, so it was in pristine condition. The designer's tag recommends storing it flat (folded), not hanging, to avoid stretching it out, which actually makes it excellent for travel because it packs well and won't wrinkle.

Great looking, comfortable dress
I wanted a dress with some sparkle for NYE, but not full-on sequins, and this was perfect. The long sleeves and fit made it very comfortable all night (I sized up for the lacey sleeves). Some of the glass beading was broken already and there were loose threads, but it wasn't noticeable overall. The lining was my biggest complaint about the dress, it kept sticking out the bottom and its BROWN, not black, so its very noticeable in my pictures.

An elegant neutral clutch
This bag is a beautiful ivory/gold color with subtle sparkle. It's definitely not sized to hold much, but it's roomy enough for evening. It does shed tiny pieces of glitter though, which I realized after it was all over my hands face and dress!

Fitted and elegant
I really enjoyed wearing this dress to an engagement party at a country club. The dress is nicely tailored and made of a lovely material, a very flattering fit. Despite being maybe just a bit too tall for the cut of the dress, I felt very confident and received several compliments on it.

Statement dress: correct fit required
I wanted to wear this loud, leopard print dress to a club but it was HUGE and fit like a sack on me. Because of the high neckline and thick fabric, to get any hint of sexy from this look make sure you size way down so the waist will fit.

For when you want to stand out
This dress is a very shiny, bright metallic green down the middle. Because of this, it seems strictly winter, strictly nighttime cocktail. It looked too "Christmas party" for my needs, so I didn't wear it out. Spanx are definitely a good idea.

Flattering and comfortable, with pockets!
This dress ran very large, I probably would have fit better in one size smaller, but it was very comfortable around my waist and the pockets were a plus. The pleats do make the skirt stick out, so their may be too much volume for some.

I didn't end up wearing this one.
The material is a sort of stiff, heavy, and a Big Bird color. It didn't look very, I don't know, "expensive" and the material stuck out and added a lot of bulk where it was a little too big.

Tight, but reserved?
I didn't wear this dress, but I tried it on. The material is a very thick spandexy fabric, it made the dress very warm. Other than being tight, the dress didn't have much sex appeal on me, the cut outs are very small. The sleeves seemed very long too.

I got this dress in 2 sizes, one bigger than I usually need, and it was still pretty tight. Spanx were required. At first I wasn't sure it was the same dress because the color is more green and shiny than I was expecting. The buttons down the back were also different. Instead of fabric covered buttons they were shiny silver and there were only three, more evenly spaced down the back.
