Wore daily.

These were great, super comyf, cool maternity jeans, which is hard to find. I wore them at 26 weeks and they fit very well when I ordered them in my pre-pregnancy size. I'm a shorty, so my only issue was that they were a hair long, so I had to roll them at the bottom which I didn't mind.

I didn't end up wearing it.

This dress is very comfortable and runs true to size - I wore a size 4 pre-pregnancy and the 4 fit me well at 25 weeks. It was also nice that it fell just above my knees. I'm 5'3", so a lot of dresses end up too long and awkward. That being said, I just felt like it was meh. I didn't feel pretty or cute in it. I felt kind of like a Christmas tree skirt. Just not the best look on me. I also didn't love how the waistline looked. The bow sat underneath the seam because my chest is a little bigger (34DD during pregnancy) and it pulled it up. I would have like that hidden. I'm also a little picky. Overall, it's a nice, comfy dress. Just not my style.

I didn't keep this item. Put it right back in the bag to send back.

I'm 5'3" and long dresses generally require heels, but this was actually the perfect length. I could have worn flats or heels. That being said, wasn't super thrilled with other aspects. The V-neckline doesn't work for women who need to wear a bra, which I imagine is a lot of pregnant ladies like me. It plunges too deeply so even if your bra's bridge is super thin (the one in the picture here is a bit higher), your bra is going to show. I know for some that's no biggie, but I was hoping this would be my dress to wear to the baby shower my parents are throwing me. The oldies don't need to see that much of my cleavage. Maybe if you have a longer torso or have smaller boobs, it will work for you. The other thing that made me nervous is that the slip underneath the main dress is super short, so if I bent over in the right lighting you got a free show. Again, my parents' elderly friends aren't going to love that (or maybe they are?!). Lastly, it came super wrinkled with a bonus chunk of....oatmeal???...crusted onto it. Ech. I don't want to know.

Only got as far as trying it on. Never wore it out.

First of all, for context, I'm 24-weeks pregnant. I'm 5'3" and weighing in around 132lbs. I'm measuring about 37" around at my widest belly point, and my bra size has gone up to a 34DD. Okay, moving on, I was super disappointed in this jumpsuit. My main issue was the fit. From the picture I posted, it looks like it fits, but - oh my LORT - was it was riding up my hoo-ha! (Yeah, I said "LORT" and "hoo-ha"). Ladies, it was one of the most painful front-wedgies of my life. Come on! When you're pregnant, the last thing you need is more discomfort below the belt! Being short, I'm used to almost all clothing being too long for me, including the straps on dresses and jumpers, but not on this bad boy. I have no idea how a taller woman could wear this. Also, the claim in the stylist notes that there is "lots of stretch" is inaccurate. Every maternity place I have shopped at says to buy the size in maternity clothes that you would normally wear pre-pregnancy, so I've been wearing smalls and size 4's in maternity wear, which is what I ordered for this. The rules shouldn't be different here. I'm still 4 weeks away from my third trimester, but this pops up when you search "Third Trimester" on RTR. How does a woman in her third trimester fit in this?! Second issue was that there is no easy out for a bathroom trip. You have to unbutton all the dainty, tiny pearly buttons on the front to get this thing off. I knew I couldn't even try to wear this out because I wasn't sure RTR's policy on returning clothes you've peed in. Lastly, it just felt cheap. It's not clear in the pictures online, but the hem around the waste-line is going for that "inside out" look, which can be cool, but something about this jumper makes it look like the jumper fell apart and someone who didn't sew tried to MacGyver it back together.

It was a premiere party for a TV show I wrote at a theatre I used to perform at.

Loved it. I was able to wear a simple navy sweater, heels, and slacks ("Slacks"? God, that makes me sound like my mother...) and it totally classed me up. I was able to be comfortable for the event while the necklace made me feel like I put a lot of effort in. I loved it.

Got these bad boys for some interviews I had to go for a press tour.

Loved them. They were great to wear with a statement necklace. Just enough flair and sparkle without being distracting.

Wore for press interviews where I wanted to look cute and classy.

Adorable! Very fun. Hip, but not obnoxious. Classy, but not too formal or "adult". Loved.

Carried to a red carpet TV Premiere.

Loved this bag. Just enough sparkle and bling to make it interesting without distracting. A great size. Has slots for credit cards. I had my phone, lipstick, and compact in there with no problem. Could have fit more, but too much more would make it bulky.

Red carpet, baby!

Loved these earrings. They're beautiful and classed up my outfit for a TV premiere like crazy. My only complaint is that they're pretty damn heavy. I got used to them fairly quickly, though, so it wasn't the end of the world.

A black tie awards show where I got to walk the red carpet for the first time.

I felt like a rockstar in this dress! It is perfect for a very formal black tie event. I felt glamorous and incredibly comfortable. I've never been to a black tie event and decided to take a risk with an asymmetrical dress. I have 32DD's so anything that requires a strapless bra scares me because my "ladies" end up saggy. My torso is a little short, so that definitely is no good. I'm almost an hourglass (I think my waist has to be a tiny bit smaller to be a true hourglass?). I also generally don't go asymmetrical because I think I'm just boring and scared of new things. I am sooooo glad I went for this piece! The strapless bra worked out fine and the cut divided my body in a flattering way. The curtain effect on the lower half was awesome. The material is fairly thick. I know this sounds bad, but almost like drapes. That being said, it works and is incredibly comfortable. I wore it in April in LA in the evening, and it was perfect. It might be too hot for a summer event. I'm short so I wore a higher heel and it didn't drag on the ground. Also, make sure you wear a shoe that is open across the ankle. Make those legs look long!

It was a black tie awards show where I got to walk the red carpet for the first time. Vavavoom!

I have small to average sized wrists (I think!) and I loved how it fit. Not too tight, just enough room for movement. I don't generally go this crazy with accessories but I saw it on RTR and took a risk. I'm really glad I did! I wore a floor-length black dress with an asymmetrical cut, which is also not something I go for (I'm super boring). No necklace because of the asymmetrical neckline, so this piece was perfect. It's just fun. I mean, look at it. So fun!
