Haven’t Felt This Cute All Pregancy
31 weeks pregnant here! Got a size larger than my usual but probably could have gotten my usual because the dress is so flouncy and the smocking is really forgiving even for my pregnancy boobs. I have been feeling myself all day, walking with a spring in my step and feeling so cute! Most pregnancy clothes I’m just trying to look good enough to get by, and today is the first day I’ve felt actually I look *good* and I’ve been getting compliments all day. Huge self esteem boost, especially for 3rd tri! Obviously it’s a mini but I’m wearing bike shorts under and the volume of the dress makes up for the length imo.

Great for Maternity
Got a size larger than my normal size but probably could have went with my normal because the smocking was so stretchy and forgiving. I am 30 weeks pregnant here and this dress felt so flattering on. I was also able to move comfortably and dance at the wedding. The pleats are so fun and flowy and made me feel less self conscious about the bump as I was letting loose on the dance floor!

Great for Maternity
Late second trimester here! I’m at the point where I can’t where most non maternity things but the stretchiness and the side ruching on this dress almost makes it seem like it’s supposed to be a maternity dress even though it’s not. I got one size up from my normal prepregnancy size and it fits perfectly. It’s so soft and comfortable and perfect for early spring. I will be holding onto this one for awhile!

Bump Friendly!
Cute look for second trimester- I am 19 weeks along here. I got one size up from normal and the fit was good! The smocked back helped accommodate my pregnancy boobs. With the bump it’s a little too short to wear as an actual dress so I treated it as a tunic top and wore leggings and boots with it.

Just a little tight
I’m a solid medium but can wear smalls and larges depending on the brand. I guess for this one I should have gone with a large. The buttons felt just a little pulled, and definitely pulled at the bust area. Also the sleeves are a bit short on me. I was hoping to love this but I’m not sure if I’ll actually wear it.

So soft! So comfy! So big!
So this is definitely pretty oversized. I could have gotten a small and have gotten smalls in other Farm Rio things before. But, I kind of love how big and comfy it fits on me. I liked the balance of wearing it with a short mini and can also see it with a slip skirt and heeled booties without a tank underneath, or super casual with leggings and sneakers for around the neighborhood. I got it new with tags and am pretty sure I’m going to buy it.

Good pants.
They fit, nice wide leg. Nothing special though. I think wearing these helped me realize I don’t need black jeans in my wardrobe right now.

Cute… and comically small!
I really love this bag actually. And, it will only fit my phone, lipstick, and credit card holder. I didn’t even bring my keys out in it (partner held on to those). Keep in mind that “fit” means those things will go in there but the bag won’t be able to clasp. Luckily, it stands on its own so won’t flop over if you set it down. Worth it for the statement!

The ruffle ruins it
This dress is so cute… except for the ugly ruffle down each sleeve. They feel so awkward and out of place. Fit great otherwise, really nice fabric. I’ll still wear it to my work event but generally disappointed.

Perfect Shape!
The problem with me and wide leg jeans is that I have a booty and a smaller waist and so they often hide my shape and I look frumpy. These are juuust a little tighter through the hips before turning into a true wide leg mid thigh. The result is perfect!! The length, the color, the shape, the raw hem detail, I really love these jeans and I’ll likely buy them. I wish there was just slightly less stretch (I like my jeans a bit stiffer) and there is a waist gap (normal for hourglass figures) but those don’t detract from everything that is great about these. My waist is 29-30” depending on the day and the size 28 for great for me.

Should have listened to other reviews
I’m a solid size 8 dresses/tops but can often wear a 6 for bottoms depending on the shape/brand (29” waist for reference). As you can see from the photo, I couldn’t even get the skirt to button all the way. I’m honestly not even sure if a 10 would work either. Sizing is way off!

Perfect Elevated Casual
This dress fit perfect! The top button hit at the exact right spot to feel covered but not too modest (no pulling either- important for my larger bust), waist nipped in without being too tight, and the length was good on me. I don’t mind how high the slit it, but it is definitely up there. I felt the skirt had enough fabric to offset it and it just peeked out in a nice way. I wore this with white sneakers and a brown crossbody to a museum and I felt very put together without trying too hard.

Size up!
I’m a true medium, but as you can see in the photo, my larger bust line is super squished! Definitely can’t wear a bra or I don’t think I’d be able to zip it. After a bit of a struggle I did manage to zip it up but it’s tight. I thought the smocking would be more stretchy. Also, the fabric is just a little sheer and you could kind of see the nips! I will wear pasties. But, the dress is beautiful in an elevated casual way. Just wish I had gotten a large to be a little more comfortable!

It’s Fine.
This too is just… ok. It’s boxy but if I had gone with a smaller size it wouldn’t have fit my larger bust. The fabric is heavier weight than I was hoping for. Would be better for spring than height of summer. It’s fine and I’ll wear it, it’s just nothing special.

Fun for Vacation
Beautiful top, nice and light for hot/humid weather. It looked ok going braless but I would have liked some more lift with my post-baby -yet-still-large bust. Normally I don’t go for an empire waist fit but the cropped nature of the top made it so it was still flattering with high waisted shorts. Still, I wouldn’t see myself wearing it outside of a vacation situation. In the photo I’m accidentally wearing it inside out, and it still looked good!

Beautiful, Flowy, Elevated Casual
I wore this to dinner twice on my recent vacation. It was not too hot even in the humid Curacao weather. I loved it because it was a step up from casual without looking like I was too dressed up. I loved the way it flowed and draped around me. One note- it is very long. I had to wear platform sandals and I still had to lift up the skirt a little to walk comfortably.

Cute Day Dress!
Very oversized! I took a chance on a size 2 (normally a size 8, sometimes a 6 depending on brand/cut) and it fits perfectly. I usually don’t go for the overly baggy dress like this but it will be perfect for walking around the city on my upcoming vacation.

Not sure why there was a bad review, I think this looks great! I did get a size down but it’s super comfy at 16 and a half weeks pregnant! Perfect for the last moments of warm weather.

Perfect Late Summer Dress
I wore this at 16 weeks and it was so comfortable for a late summer work outfit! Lots of compliments from my colleagues. I am busty (32DDD pre-pregnancy, a bit bigger now) and so needed to safety pin a spot in the bust where there was so major gaping. I loved the tie because it meant the shape for fully adjustable!

Super cute! Busty ladies be wary.
I wore this dress to work at 15 weeks pregnant and it was so comfortable! However next time I will wear a tank or something underneath because I realized the V neck was lower than I thought. I was a 32DDD pre-pregnancy and I think I might be both and band and cup size bigger now. Size medium worked- I probably could have gone up a size but the empire waist elastic is super stretchy. I was about 140 lbs pre-pregnancy and am about 153 now.
