Cute but short
I really liked this one, but I'm glad I didn't get it any later in my pregnancy. I'm 28 weeks and on the smaller side, and it was short trying to cover the bump. It's very cute, but more for second trimester.

Too Big
I did like the detail on the sleeves and the color is nice. But this is beyond an oversized fit. I have a long torso but even between that and being in my third trimester, this was too long to be very flattering.

Short
This was so short on me that I actually wonder if they sent the wrong item. I'm normally a size 6 - 8, but the medium fit me like a regular sweatshirt, not a dress at all. I wore it like a shirt with leggings. I'm 25 weeks, so larger but not massive yet. This didn't at all seem like a maternity item.

Gorgeous
This is gorgeous and super comfortable. I wore it for a work event and got so many compliments. I'm a 6 - 8 prepregnancy and the medium was fairly loose and long on me. I'm a small 23 weeks, so maybe with a larger bump it would have fit better. Still, so comfortable and looked great.

Nice but tiny
I am a 6-8 pre pregnancy and typically a medium in Amanda Uprichard. I couldn't get the medium to zip over my bump, and I'm a small 20 weeks. The dress is formal and beautiful and I would rent again, but would size up at least once. The fabric doesn't have a lot of give.

This dress was so comfortable and flattering. It's one of my favorite things I've rented. The fabric has give and I had plenty of room with a 2nd trimester belly.It felt very well made to me.

Flattering
The cut and the color on this are beautiful and flattering. I found that it fit true to size, but was just a little short on me. I am a pear and this was really flattering through my waist and hips.

Awkward Fit
I get that this is supposed to be oversized and I liked it for that. But the slits up the sides are cut too high. I had a hard time wearing this without having my sides exposed - whether I tied it, tucked it in, or just left it flowing. I have a long torso and have this problem at times, but this shirt just didn't work perfectly.

Better in Person
The pictures on the model don't do the pattern and colors justice, this is much nicer in person. I wore it at the beginning of my second trimester and it fit perfectly. I was able to just wear my normal size and had room for a small bump. With the structure to it, I didn't even look like I was showing.

Tiny
I'm usually skeptical at people saying to size up so much, but I wish there had been even one size more for me to go to. The dress is cut for a teeny person and even going almost 2 sizes up, it was snug. The pattern and buttons are really fun but this isn't cut and sized properly.

Beautiful pattern
The pattern and style of the dress are very beautiful and flattering. The cut was just a little too large, though. When I was safety pinning the top closed, I noticed tiny holes from where other people have safety pinned it. I wore the 8, and even with three inch heels on (making me 5'10") the skirt was really long and I was stepping on it.

See Through
For how much this retails for, you shouldn't be able to see my tattoo clearly and in detail right through the fabric. It also bunched weirdly at the middle when I pulled the drawstring waist. I like a cinched waist because I have a long torso, but there was so much fabric there, I couldn't get it to tighten properly and it was extremely unflattering. Additionally, the buttons stopped a little too high and it looked like I had a huge slit in the front where you wouldn't want one. Awful dress.

I'm between a 6 and an 8, and the 8 was huge on me. The fabric is so stiff that it wasn't a nice relaxed oversize, it just looked awkward and was unflattering.

Agree with Binding
I saw someone else use the word binding and I think it's perfect. I really liked this dress and thought the pattern was a lot better in person than the photo. The waist is really fitted. I have a long torso and it hits me on my thinnest part, but I think if you have a large rib cage it would be tight.

Classic Badgley Mischka
Badgley Mischka is one of my favorite brands on RTR and this dress is exactly why. It's simple, sophisticated, glam, and just extremely well tailored. I'm between a 6 and an 8, and either would have fit. I'm a pear and this was so flattering on my curves. It fits just like most of their other dresses do.

Long
I loved the fabric and pattern. This is easy to dress up and down. As others have said, the straps are a little too long and the dress is definitely too long. I'm 5'7" and even with heels on, the 8 was a bit too long on me. The slit does help with walking though.

More Casual Than Appears
I liked this skirt but it was really different than what I expected. It's pretty versatile and I didn't have an issue dressing it up, but it's much more casual than it looks on the model. There's a little more pink in it as well. I'm between a 6 and an 8 and was happy I got the 8 to tuck a shirt in.

Madonna's Cone Bra
The chest on this literally looks like you're wearing Madonna's cone bra. I'm sure we've all had dresses where there is a seam that looks a little like nipples. This is more than a seam, the fabric is literally folded over itself and sewn into a triangle shape. There is no way to make it look like you aren't wearing a cone bra or have triangle shaped boobs. And if you aren't chesty (like me) they just awkwardly droop! I've never seems a dress like this and wore a sweater to cover the top.

Short but adorable
This one is a little short. I'm between a 6 and an 8 and got the 8 for length, but would have fit in the 6 just fine. The color is much better and richer in person. It's just structured enough that it's really flattering while still being comfortable.

I can't believe how many compliments I got on this. I'm between a 6 and an 8, got the 8 because I lift and can struggle with sleeves. It fit loosely but hung really nicely. I wasn't sure about the tie in the front, but it was really flattering. The color is striking and beautiful in person.

I'm between a 6 and an 8 and the 6 was pretty large on me. The sleeves were also larger and baggier than I would have liked. But, the print is cuter in person and the fabric is really nice. This was a good work dress.

Small Waist
The color is beautiful but the waist doesn't fit the cut of the pants. I'm a 6/8 and a solid medium. The length and fit were great, but the waist was extremely tight. I wouldn't want to size up to a large though, because then the leg would be too loose.

Large but beautiful
I got so many compliments in this dress, even from people I don't know. It was so comfortable and the fabric felt luxurious. I am between a 6 and an 8 because of my hips -the 6 was loose but fit fine. I'm 5'7" and it was a bit longer than tea length on me. I have a long torso and the waist band hit me at a very flattering point and is functional to stay tied tightly and give it shape.

Beyond Small
This is the type of rental that bothers me because it's just an absolute waste of an order. I'm between a 6 and an 8 and ordered the 8 seeing it ran small. I couldn't even get these over my thighs. Even if I could have, it would have fit like capris - and I have short legs for my height, an 8 should be long enough on someone 5'7". I have no idea what size I would be in this bizarre cut and have no interest in stabbing around in the dark trying to figure it out. The designer cut and labeled this wrong, by no definition is it close to the size it purports to be.

Awkward Fit
The fit for this on me didn't look anything like the model. I generally look best in a fit and flare, I'm tall with a long torso and hips. But this just didn't flare on me? It was really awkward and I didn't end up wearing. The sleeves didn't look great either. I think the dress I had has been worn a few times as it wasn't a bright white any more either and was a little dingy.

TINY
I got this as an option for my bridal shower but it was tiny. I'm between a 6 and an 8 and typically an 8 for DVF, but this didn't work at all. It barely zipped closed and the hemline was more like a shirt. It didn't cover my butt at all when I tried sitting in it.

Short!
The pattern and the fabric are great, but this is really short. I'm 5'7" and I don't think the medium even made it halfway down my thigh. It fit otherwise and the sleeves were generous enough (I lift and struggle with sleeves sometimes). But the length was way too short.

Snug but cute
I went up a size because I lift and sleeves are often tight on me. I wish I had gone up two as it was still snug, and is short on someone with a long torso. The sleeves did start to give throughout the day and it got more comfortable towards the end. The colors are great and really versatile to layer with.

This definitely didn't work for the office for me, but I wore it on the weekend. I loved how some people styled it tucked into a high waist trouser, but with a long torso that just didn't work out for me. I am not blessed in the chest so the top just puffed open when I tried to tuck it into something. Ok with jeans on the weekend, but definitely not for the office. The one button is ok, but it wasn't placed in the right spot to work for me.

Size up!! I'm between a 6 and an 8 and the 8 were still snug. They do lave a lot of stretch. The materials is more like red jeans than I expected. The high waist is great but I didn't love the cropped boot cut.

I loved this skirt, but the one I got was missing a few rhinestones from the waist. It was a snug fit, but was cut properly for a pear shape. The fabric is great and stiff - so even though it's a little short it stays in place. I felt comfortable wearing it to work with a long sleeve shirt.

I'm between a 6 and an 8 and the 8 was really snug on me. I also wish the blue polka dots were either a little dark so you could just wear them with black or a little lighter so you could tell they were blue easier. I put a navy blue jacket over the dress and it wasn't ideal, but I thought it was better than black.
