Perfect for an important client meeting late in the third trimester!
Wore this to a high stakes client meeting at 33.5 weeks with twins. It was soft, the cut was forgiving, and it made me feel polished and pulled together. I'm 34DD maternity and had no issues with the top being too revealing as other reviewers mentioned. Now if only my feet would fit into my shoes....

This is cute and breezy, but wish the straps were adjustable!
I'm 5'7 and had to pin the straps to ensure this would cover me. Wound up wearing a tshirt under it since it's pretty impossible to find a dainty bra that contains me in my third trimester :P

Great maternity dress -- perfect for a chilly evening
Loved the fit and flow of this dress over my 28 week bump -- tons of compliments. Wore it to an early summer bbq that turned chilly at night. At 5'7 I could wear flat sandals, and this fabric was smooth and soft against my itchy belly/chest. Would definitely recommend. It's worth nothing this dress has a few layers of polyester and would be quite hot in 80/90 degree heat.

Flowy, fun, flattering in 3rd trimester, an perfect for a hot day!
Wore this to a birthday dinner at 26 weeks. Flattering, different, lightweight, and very soothing fabric-wise. Fit took awhile to get right -- I'm a 4 or 6 34B pre-pregnancy, and now 34DD. I originally got a 42 and ultimately sized down to a 40, but I could have gone to a 38. It's hard to tell from the model, but all of the waist ties are adjustable. I tied them below my bust to make a faux-empire waist to be more practical on my bump than picture on the model. If you are doing the same, I'd recommend sizing down 1-2 sizes from your normal to reduce the amount of excess fabric in the back / bust. Would rent again.

Great dress for a winter wedding
I rented this after trying it on in the flatiron store. Extremely flattering, thick fabric, perfect for a winter wedding. The 6 was a little big around the waist and shoulders, I might have been able to squeeze into a four. Compliments all night and a great skirt for dancing! My only complaint is that the brocade fabric is delicate -- there were loose threads and pulls all over this dress where a previous wearer had snagged a bracelet. Overall great experience though, I'd rent again
