Chest is super small
I rented this in my third trimester thinking it would be perfect for the hot August weather. However the chest was incredibly small, especially compared to the size of the rest of the dress. Could not wear.

Good for winter wedding
Wore this over my wedding dress when going between the church and reception venue on a snowy day. Definitely helped keep me warm!
Doesn't work for 3rd trimester
I thought the loose fit of this dress would work for pregnancy, however where the dropped waist fell was really unflattering. I'm in ny third trimester - definitely would have been better for first or early second. Also, the arm holes are quite large and show undergarments. This is a dress that would work best braless.

Slit too high
I got this dress after Shawn Johnson recommended it during her pregnancy. I'm only 5 feet tall, but I still felt like the slit was too high for my comfort zone with a third trimester belly, so I returned.

Good for Summer Pregnancy
Works well for pregnancy (I'm in my 3rd trimester). Light and breezy for summer. Only complaint is that the straps are quite long and not adjustable.

Strange maternity fit
This was an odd fit for me - loose in the belly despite 3rd trimester yet tight on my boobs. Also the shoulder straps were too long for me. Super unflattering fit overall. Didn't wear.

Such a fun maternity outfit
Probably my favorite maternity outfit! Worked well in my second trimester and adjustable straps mean it would keep working in the third trimester if it was still weather appropriate. Super cute and comfortable. Not too long on me even though I am short!

Pretty for my baby shower!
This was a lovely dress for my baby shower. I wore it in a petite with 3-4" chunky heels (I'm 5' tall), which allowed it to just skim the ground. Third trimester belly surely helped with the length. The only things to note is that the side zipper was tough to close at the seam of the dress, and the neck cut out is much more revealing if you have a large chest (during pregnancy, I'm a 34 DD). I wore a black bra which was visible at times but tried to choose something lacy and pretty that looked intentional. I couldn't figure out a nice way of safety pinning it closed.

Way too short
I ignored the other reviews about this dress being short because at 5'0", I rarely experience that issue with dresses. However, this barely covered my private are and would have completely exposed me if I tried to bend over or sit.

Great In Photos
Wore this in some of my engagement photos in NYC -- it actually was surprisingly subtle against the dress I chose but added that perfect finishing touch. Love how the look turned out!

Perfect Engagement Photo Accessory
Wore this bracelet for my engagement photos in Central Park with a black dress. Chic and easily adjustable to wear at different heights on your arm. Loved it!

People stopped us in the streets to say, "what a beautiful and stylish couple you are!"
I wore this for my engagement session along with the Kate Spade "clink clink" necklace. The fit was small in the bust so I had to size up. Otherwise, the quality and color were remarkable, and it was very comfortable, even on a hot August afternoon in NYC. The statement necklace complimented it perfectly. The RTR team helped me accessorize in their showroom and were quick to help me make an exchange after I discovered the bust was too tight in the original size I ordered. Very thankful for the warm customer service!

Perfect 21st birthday dress for the Bahamas!
It had a comfortable lining and some stretch that allowed for free movement all night long. I felt fabulous with all the sequins. It wasn't too long on my 5' petite frame, either.
