Tucked the top into my bra brand to create more of a cropped look- otherwise with my bump covered, it looked a little too mature- like a 75 yr old dressing up for Vegas (which is where I was when wearing). Very comfortable, and didn’t require much accessorizing as the fabric and texture are already a lot.

Loved this for Thanksgiving in Vegas while pregnant. I sized up 1 in the pants- probably could’ve gotten away with my normal size as the width was great on these but the length was a tad long. I had to tuck the waistband a little otherwise to get the right length, the waist would sit across the most unflattering part of my bump.

Great maternity option
Wore this to my cocktail party baby shower and received so many compliments. Sized up 1 to accommodate my wider ribcage and it was perfect width but a little too much fabric on the chest, so I folded the top in to look more balanced, and make sure the empire waist seam was above the bump. Length was great (I was in low heels). Not too warm or cool. Was the perfect option.

Great fit, odd top
A great black dress, esp with a bump. Very comfortable with just enough stretch. As others mentioned, the built in cups are a little odd- they don’t hold their shape and can create weird dents in the chest area but, you’d really have to look closely to notice. Definitely ran a little on the shorter side. I sized up one to a M and the length was what I’d expect for a XS/S.

Easy to style
Sized up 1 size to accommodate the bump, but probably didn’t need to. Was a simple dress that could easily be dressed up or down but, did look pretty matronly, especially pregnant. Fabric wasn’t too sheer but not breathable at all.

Comfortable and versatile
Rented at 35 weeks pregnant- sized up 4 sizes so that I could button below the belly. The length was perfect, and the denim was thin but held its structure and stayed soft. Got a lot of use out of these.

Perfect, bump friendly transitional piece
I’m 6 months pregnant and sized up to a L to accommodate the bump. Length (including side slit) was great- perfect with boots underneath. Material was soft and warm but not too thick which made it ideal for layering. Hung on to this one for a few weeks- dressed up for a few date nights and dressed simply for work meetings.

The fit, length, and weight were great. Very comfortable, not too stiff but still held their shape. I sized up purposely one size due to pregnancy but these def run large.

Lived in these jeans. Length, weight, and color was perfect. Sized up 2 sizes due to pregnancy and that gave me the perfect amount of room in the waist without the butt looking baggy.

Cute and casual
Received many compliments. The arms were small and slightly tight around the wrists but overall it was well made. Color/pattern was season appropriate. There are only two ties closing the front of this top so bump or not, your stomach will be exposed. Material was a breathable cotton.

Chic
Ditched my usual black for brown and this dress did not disappoint. Very stretchy (bump friendly- sized up to a L (Ronny Kobo runs small IMO) could’ve done a M) and forgiving in the mid-section but, very sheer and the lining was shorter than expected. Beware when taking flash photos.

Bigger than a small, smaller than a medium
Loved the style and received many compliments. My only complaint is that the black knit stretched out easily and already was slightly large for a small. I kept adjusting to make sure the top of my strapless bra didn’t show. An extra small would’ve been too small in the waist.

Great summer set
The linen had great weight while still being cool and soft. Color was a great. Pants were VERY snug on me as I’m 15 weeks pregnant but that should show that these have a little room. If you’re a true 4, rent the 4 so the fit is subtlety loose. Had I gone up to a 6, the waist would’ve fit but the length would’ve been too long.

A 4 with a little bit of wiggle room
I’m 15 weeks pregnant and this JUST barely fit. But for being a size 4, I’m surprised it fit at all. The linen was very nice and soft. Color was a great neutral. Vest length was a tad shorter than I would’ve preferred but overall the set was a great rental.

Had expected this to be on the formal side but it ended up being very versatile- as an every day dress running errands with flats, to a more put together dinner look with heels. Flattering pattern and received lots of compliments.

Loved this rental. Easy outfit to look put together while keeping cool and comfortable. Linen held up and did not wrinkle easily. I did find that the waist was a little less stretchy than I would’ve liked but overall the fit was perfectly oversized while still looking polished.

Fun and stylish
A trendy take on "regular" trousers... definitely difficult fit-wise since the high waist is small and the hip area is supposed to have room. If you're a small waist/fuller hip/butt these will look great IF you can get the sizing right.

Would've loved more if I'd sized down
Basing my rating off of how I know my actual size (S) would fit vs what I rented (M). Fun, sexy dress. Well made, easy to style. Has a lot of stretch so if in between sizes, size down .

Bridal shower winner
Needed an orange or pink outfit in the middle of winter for a spritz themed bridal shower. This worked out well for someone that doesn't lean into bright colors. The fabric definitely was snug around my stomach/hips/butt but not uncomfortable or too revealing. Ties remained secure and the dress was lined.
