Bump friendly!
Wore at 31 weeks pregnant, ordered one size up from regular size and fit great. Waist did fit higher than designed due to bump, but wasn't a deal breaker. The open shoulder design really helped me feel pretty and elegant despite being quite round and pregnant!

Wore twice, at 32 and 34 weeks pregnant. Sized up one size from what I'd have usually ordered, fit great!

Great option for black tie while pregnant
Fit great at 30 weeks pregnant -- I did size up due to availability, but the fabric is very stretchy and could have accommodated a bigger bump. The fabric isn't super formal, but worked well in this dark navy color for a formal event. Dress wasn't super long, but I'm tall and was wearing heels, so not unexpected.

Loved the style and fit; wish the print were more vibrant
I really liked the fit and style of this, and felt the sizing was spot-on for a medium. Nice light fabric that would be cool on a hot day. The colors are a little dull, so ultimately I swapped for something else -- I tend to go for more vibrant pieces, so I just didn't love it enough to keep it. For me, it would've been a winner in a more colorful print. Others mentioned how sheer the fabric was -- it is sheer, but also layered and lined through the body. So no need for a slip or anything like that -- skin colored underwear & bra were fine. It is pretty long -- I'm 5'10" and the longest layer hit the back of my ankle. Heels may be better to keep it off the ground on more petite frames. There are tassels at the top that made it look a bit casual, but could easily be tucked in if you wanted to dress it up a bit. I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant, and I felt this hid my bump but barely -- probably wouldn't have fit the way I wanted it to in a few more weeks.

Almost a winner, but too low cut :(
Loved the style and color of this dress, but as other reviewers mentioned the top is _very_ revealing. There's not really a way to cover up with tape, safety pin, etc, given the cut of the dress. I was planning to wear this for a family wedding, so that was a deal breaker for me unfortunately. Really wish the styling of the top were a bit different, it would've been perfect. My dress was also all red, not yellow on top as shown in the model photos. I'm pretty tall (5'10") and I found the dress too short for 3/4" heels, but fine for shorter heels or flats. I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant, this dress hid my bump well for now but probably would've made it pretty obvious in a few weeks. I found the dress a bit tight in the ribs, but that's probably just pregnancy vs fit of the dress.

Color was meh, pleasantly surprised by fit & top support
Runs a bit large - the 38/6 felt more like an 8. I didn't end up wearing it since the base color was too close to my skin tone, and it wasn't a great fit for my event, but fit-wise it could've been a good option. I tried on without a bra, given the open back - the waist seam gave it a bit of support on me (more than I expected). I probably would have been comfortable braless for an event given that plus the print and ruffles, which I wasn't expecting. But, the dress definitely isn't supportive (no boning, padding, etc) so that might only be the case for smaller busts. Lightweight and flowy - would be great for a hot day. There are some ruffles on seams that could be unflattering, but I found them ok given the flowiness. I'm almost 15 weeks pregnant, this was a great dress to conceal my small bump.
