Preppy Dream
Classic Ralph Lauren cardigan to wear over anything at a cruise and look like a preppy vacation pirate lol. No seriously this is just the perfect piece to keep warm in and look a bit more upscale and smartly dressed anywhere you go. Love it.

Tres Chic
Beautiful, crisp white dress that gives me french fashion vibes. Wore it on vacation. White night on cruise. Fit perfectly off the rack. Flattering silouette. Chic and unique design. Loved it. Only con - it is slightly see through but I wore nude undergarments and I was Ok w/ that. If you really want to be covered up make sure to pack either boy shorts or skims/spanx/etc.

Pros - No wrinkles Easy Pack & Go / Cons - Oversized
This was perfect for what I needed it for - a dressed up date outfit at a steakhouse during vacation. I unpacked it and it was ready to go - no wrinkles - travels very well. I read that this ran really long so I made sure to order a 2P thinking it might just sweep the floor but not be much lonoger than that but I was still swimming in it. I had to twist the waist into a "bun" in the front and safety pin that and then use the belt to wrap a bow around the bun to save about 3" of material from dragging on the floor and that was still with 4-5" heels on. It was a look that worked perfectly at the end of it all, but just be ready to "tailor" on the fly if you're petite.

Perfect for Petite
From the photo, I thought the fabric would be fancier and have more heft, but it turned out to be perfect that it was light weight. It still had a fancy enough look for caribbean night on a cruise. I was getting positive vibes/looks from everyone and it fit beautifully "off the rack" for me. Great fit for shortwaisted petites w/ long legs and a little busty.

Beautiful for the Right Occassion
I didn't end up wearing this one but it fit like a glove on top with angles that are very flattering. I was also happy that it wasn't too long on me, although I would still need to wear heels for it to not brush the floor, but any maxi dress that doesn't trail on the floor for someone as petite as me is amazing. The only two issues for me are the end of the dress is a lot of material and becomes sort of billowy toward the bottom. With my height it was just "too much dress" on the bottom and the second issue is because of that it almost looked like a wedding gown on me. Once I saw that in my mind I couldn't unsee it. I was looking for an indoor occasion dress in white. I feel this is better suited for outdoors where the wind gives it some flow on the bottom and it would give off boho angel vibes. Definitely need to dress it up with some jewelry that makes it look un-bridal or be tall enough that it doesn't look like a gown.

Perfect fit
Was surprised this fit so well since I'm usually too "hippy" for dresses like this but this one hugged my curves and fit perfectly off the rack. Didn't wear it because I needed a white dress and found a different one that was more flattering for the occasion, but I would definitely wear this if the occasion was right.

Very pretty. Fit well and covered my pregnancy bump perfectly, but I didn't wear it because I wanted the dress to fall above the knee and with the ruffles below the knee it looked like "too much dress" on me since I'm so petite.

I'm shocked people were able to wear this
I'm very petite and couldn't even get it over my head, much less my shoulders. Doesn't stretch at all. I'm not sure if I got a defective one? Other people were able to wear this. I'm not sure how? I normally wear an XS but I think I would have to get a size Large just to fit it over my head and shoulders based on how tiny the XS one was.

Love It!
It's everything the good reviews say it is. At first I felt a little silly being in a full bodysuit aka leotard ; ) because I haven't worn something like that since childhood ballet, but I decided why not try it. I ended up wearing it during first and second trimesters several times. Comfy. The material is double layered so it's not see through at all and has some heft to it. Fit me like a glove and grew with my belly. Docked a star because it's hard to zip up in the back. I wouldn't mind that, but it needs to be unzipped every time one goes to the powder room so that gets a little challenging to do when pregnant. I wish it had the zipper on side or an easier way to get in and out of it, but that being said it was probably one of the best items I've gotten so far. I'm short and short-waisted so that zipper went all the way to my mid back. Maybe on someone taller with longer arms it's not an issue at all.

Didn't Wear But Might Try a Different Size
I'm pregnant in second trimester and was surprised this fit me at the waist and wasn't too short given my bump is pretty big now. It didn't work for me because it was too small on top. I'm very short waisted, but this is very, very short waisted and I think I need one size up. I was still able to get it on but it was puckering in the underarm and top of bra area as it was too small there. The sleeves were snug, but I wouldn't say they were tight. Not the most flattering sleeves on me because there's a good amount of flair and I'm short so it's harder to pull that off, but let's see... Might try again in one size up and if the chest area fits better the sleeves might fall in a different place and look better.

Great maternity dress!
It fit me really well and I wore it a few times. Fit me everywhere from the bust to belly to bottom and length so no issues there. Deducting one point because it is not a thick t-shirt material and therefore it is a little see through. It's not super see through, but enough to where I had to be sure to wear the right undergarments with it and I wore it mostly at night instead of when the sun might be shining on me.

Didn't Work for Me
I love the design with the faux leather on front and plain black leggings on back. Typically I would be able to fill out a pair of leggings plus I'm pregnant, but these were baggy on me from the knee down. Especially at ankles. I notice a lot of clothing from RTR isn't truly skinny/slim ankle fit. Not sure if that's because items are stretched out by others, or if they don't buy skinny fitted items. I could have sized down but decided not to because I didn't get the sense that a smaller size would have the fitted leggings at my calf/ankle that I was seeking. They are very low rise. I had read that in the reviews so I was prepared to wear a longer shirt to cover my belly, but with the longer shirt and being baggy at the bottom it wasn't a flattering look.

Cute!
Liked it. Wore it one day for something very specific and returned it. I was 19 weeks pregnant and couldn't zip it up. I should have sized up. I was still able to "rock it" open tho. What I liked about it was the pattern and the overall fit. What I disliked... My guess is that when the coat was new it started out as a buttery feeling faux fur or at least smoother feeling vibe, but after several washings it was kind of "ratty" which tends to happen to faux fur after a while.

Wore once but... Wardrobe malfunction ; )
Loved it when I originally tried it on, but when I actually wore it, I realized that the "spaghetti" shoulder straps are not strong enough to hold the top of the jumpsuit up. Even if I kept hiking the material up over my bust, the thin straps stretch and showed the entire top half my bra. I definitely rented the right size for me. It's more of a wardrobe malfunction. Thank goodness I had a hoodie and was able to wear it on top the whole day so I wasn't flashing people, but gosh was I overheated by the time the day was done.

Not stretchy enough
I love the stripe down the side, but the jean material is not stretchy enough so while I was technically able to get it on, it felt quite tight and it dug into my lower abdomen which was uncomfortable when sitting. I ordered a size up. I normally wear a size 2-4 but this was a size 6. They are too rigid to wear during maternity especially if you're a little curvy. Will work better on someone without curves from lower waist down.

Back Pockets Look Weird
Fit perfectly, but the back pockets look wide and short in height so they kind of look odd from the back. Wasn't flattering because of that, but other than that it was a great fit and comfortable. I think these run large because I normally wear a 26/27 waist pre-pregnancy and these fit great even though they were size 25.

not for me
It is low- to mid-rise. Because waist falls below belly button it pushes slightly on that area which felt uncomfortable. Other than that, they looked great. I think these run a little big because I'm a 26-27 waist prior to pregnancy and I tried on a 25.
