Effortless and versatile
Wore postpartum and the top range of my usual size fit comfortably. I wore this with sandals and with sneakers. So easy to throw on. Buttons also made it easy to nurse. Beware of a button near the crotch wanting to come undone after sitting down though!

Bit heavy for warm weather
Well made but wouldn't wear it in the summer, too hot. Cute for fall transitional w boots maybe? Need to wear it with a crop top to get the proportions right. Wasn't too long on me to wear with flats so that was nice!

Practical and comfy
Wore post partum and it did the job - covered my butt and my belly while looking a little more out together. The small was roomy. Order your usual size even post partum or early pregnancy

Gorgeous coat, heavy!
Wish I had a better pic but this coat was my go-to for 2nd and most of 3rd trimester of pregnancy in Chicago winter. I wore it everywhere, from 150-170lbs. Overall high quality and loved the color. It was a little long on me at 5'4" and a little bulky to get in and out of cars in (be careful not to get it caught in the door! FR), but would rent again.

Flattering shape, not super breathable fabric
Pregnancy fit profile: 160-165 lbs when I wore this, carrying low Pros: -Silky feel of fabric -Covered my bump and my bum and fell in a flattering shape -Good for layering with a sweater on top on cooler days Cons -Fabric is not breathable, easy to get sweaty in on a warmer day

Too long for 5'4"
Was a bit big and way too long for me in 2nd-3rd tri at ~155-160 lbs. Pretty color though!

A staple
A nice medium weight staple to keep you warm during transition seasons. I appreciated the length in the back which covered most of my bum, since by 3rd tri when I rented I was wearing leggings way more often than I ever thought acceptable.
Grey Abi Maternity Sweater

Poofy shoulders but gorgeous shirt
The top part of the shoulder sleeve gives big 80s puff sleeve. I tucked the extra fabric into my bra strap (so classy I know), but you honestly couldn't tell and it made the shirt way more flattering to me. Fabric is beautiful, length was nice to cover my 3rd tri bump. I wore this a lot! (155-160lbs @ 32-34 weeks for ref)
Marlene Maternity Blouse

Pretty color, cozy, easy
Not the most flattering but easy to throw on and mix and match with a spectrum of dressiness. Good weight for real winter weather layering. I enjoyed wearing it more with a long sleeve shirt underneath because the wool was a bit itchy on my arms. Got compliments on the rich color, which you can't really see in my pics; it is a lovely sage-y green. Wore 32-24 weeks pregnant, ~155 lbs

Fabulous with tights
I can totally see the issue other reviewers mentioned about the bottom half of the wrap (the skirt part) not going far enough around your body, but wearing this with tights completely solved that issue for me. I found it super comfortable and flattering in 3rd tri - about 155-160 lbs, carrying low.
Evie Maternity Wrap Dress

Gorgeous fabric
I wore this at 30-32 weeks pregnant (155ish lbs). It's a joy to wear, the fabric is silky and the color vibrant. I didn't need to wear a bra. Length was nice and sleeve coverage too. It hit about mid calf on me
Thea Maternity Dress

Size Worn: 1
Usual Size: 4
Height: 5' 4"

Tight waistband
I wore this 30-32 weeks pregnant ~155 lbs and found the waistband to be a bit painful after a couple of hours. The fabric is a little thicker if that's you're looking for. Nice pattern and color and overall quality but I wouldn't rent again.

Comfy and light weight
This was an easy dress to just throw on. I wore my normal size at 30-32 weeks pregnant. I didn't love the color as much as in the model photos but still found myself putting this on multiple mornings while on vacation

Flattering on 28 week bump
I wore this at the end of my 2nd trimester for baby shower, bumped up 1 size from my usual. Fabric was luxurious and kept me nice and warm on a super cold day. Flattering with the tie waist and not too long on me at 5'4" - I did not want to have to wear heels!

Too loose up top
I wore this 28 weeks pregnant w tights. It was comfortable but not the most flattering - I'm about a 36C right now / 150 lbs and there was a lot of hanging fabric around the chest. Might look better if you're more busty

Ended up wearing way more than I thought I would
This fit a little frumpy on my 5'4" frame, even while 24 weeks pregnant but it was so cold outside and this sweater was so cozy I ended up wearing it with leggings and boots several times (Chicago winter - so this sweater is real deal warm)

On the dressier side
My ear lobes can be kind of weak (lol) and these were not too heavy at all. Definitely better for a slightly dressy or full on dressy outfit

Perfect length for petite mamas to be
I wore this 20-24 weeks pregnant ~140 lbs. length was perfect. Comfy even as they started to get tight towards 24+ weeks. I have hips to work with to start with so the lower cut + band on these worked well for me

A little too short for work
I didn’t end up wearing this because it was too short for work and church lol. But the color and style were fabulous. Might rent again when it is tights weather.

So fun! Perfect for summer
I wanted to buy this one so badly. On a 100 degree day I felt so nice in this. I’m 5’4” and it hit me just above the knee. Such a fun pattern. Lined so you don’t feel like a breeze will mean an unintended peekaboo. Loved the cap sleep and the neckline. Loved!

Not for narrow faces
High quality and cute but they slipped off my face. I have a small/medium head (ski helmet wise) and these were just unworkable

High quality but not quick to get on/off
I really liked this piece but the buttons seemed silly. When you’re at the beach, you want to quickly be able to take your cover up on and off right? Well you will spend a solid minute undoing and then redoing these buttons. That’s my only complaint though. Loved the star pattern, breath ability, neckline, and color.

Roomy fit - super comfy
I found the XS to still have some billowing room but it was comfy enough I didn’t care. The shape of the sleeves and the neckline kept it from being frumpy. I wore it several times.

Great summer work dress
Light weight, refreshing-feeling fabric, beautiful color. Felt easy but also elevated. I have a small chest and wore it without a bra comfortably. Adjustable straps were a plus. The ruffle around the armpit was a negative and I wished it was a tiny bit shorter on my frame.

High-waisted and high quality
Loved these. Nice length for work and the pleats make them look more polished. I’m petite, shorter legs and longer torso and I almost never wear shorts but I wore these several times! Finally - flattering shorts for my hips!

Small heads rejoice lol
I have a smaller head (narrower face?) and these sunglasses fit me perfectly without sliding down. They feel sturdy and well made. The narrow look was a fun way to mix it up when going out but I don't think it works for my everyday aesthetic

Great for summer
The RTR suggested size wasn't available when I wanted to rent so I went a size up. The smaller size would have been better, but I still wore this several times - to a winery, to a casual brunch, and to work (in a more casual office). The length was good for me with flats (5'4"). The waist was wear I could have used the smaller size, wanted it a little more form fitting and not as flowy there.

Easy to throw on
As other reviews mentioned, if you have a smaller chest this dress works great. No bra needed for me. Not too heavy despite being long so good in hot weather but you can layer a jacket on top for cooler weather too!

Wear backwards
Like other reviewers suggested, I wore the dress backwards. It bunched up less under my bust area that way. I wore a sticker bra and tied up the sides a little tighter. Super cute! It still bunched weirdly just a little, which is why it’s not getting 5 stars. Nice summery weight, midi length was great with 2” wedges for me.

Off the shoulder is the move
I pulled down the puffy sleeves to wear this dress of the shoulder and it made it less milk-maidy. Loved the dress! I’m 5’4” and I wore it with flats to work and wedges to date night.

Gorgeous dress, a lot of effort to get the fit right
I wore this to a beach wedding and loved the color, quality, and silhouette. Unfortunately, it was just too big on me. I had to pin the straps to shorten them, pin the waist as best I could but still the fit wasn't as flattering as it would have been had I had a size smaller. I'm usually a 2 or 4 in dresses and really needed a 2 in this one.

Cute and breezy
Wore this wine tasting and to church. I had to wear a cami underneath because the cut was quite low and I don't have much to hold it up but overall loved the fit. The wrap style is very forgiving and hugged me at my smallest part while breezing over my biggest ones (hips). Would rent again

These are so fun without being over-the-top edgy. Well made and look sharp with anything!
I have a round face and a small head (at least according to ski helmet sizes) and I sometimes have a hard time finding sunglasses that stay on my face without sliding off. These are the sunglasses of my dreams! The shape is great, no too over-the-top cat eye like they might look in the photo. I rented these to wear wine tasting but ended up wearing them everywhere!
