Great dress, runs small
Got this dress for work one size up based on sizing recommendations and was able to wear it but it was tight through the arms and chest. Lots of compliments. Would order again but size up two sizes instead of just one given my bust.

Classic dress! (5 weeks postpartum)
I had a wedding to attend 5 weeks after having my son. This dress was great for my "new" body! I got so many compliments on the dress and felt fabulous. The top was slightly loose but it is the style and not a fault of sizing, nothing you couldn't handle with a little fashion tape if it was to much for a less busty gal. Sizing was true to size seemingly but I wore a size up from normal due to baby bod and lacking stretch of fabric. I would definitely rent it again!

Great formal dress for maternity!
This dress was fabulous and comfortable!! It had the perfect amount of stretch and was comfortable over my baby bump. Only con was that the lining rode up a bit so it had to keep being adjusted. It was a little large up top so I could've probably done fine with a large bit the fit was comfortable and spacious so not complaining. Would rent again!

Love this (maternity) dress!
Wore this dress to a park themed party and loved it!! Very comfortable and stretchy fabric. It fit perfectly over my 6 month baby bump. Only downside was that bar showed on the sides from the cut but nothing a denim vest couldn't hide. Definitely considering purchasing... would fit when not pregnant as well

Great maternity jumpsuit!!
Wore this to a fashion show and it was lovely! For great and was super comfortable over my six month baby bump. Only downside is unzipping to use the ladies room. Color was vibrant and I received lots of compliments on the piece would definitely rent again!

Great maternity dress!
Six months pregnant and wore this to a "Harlem Nights" themed cocktail party in NYC. Fit my bump comfortably and has nice stretch. The dress did ride up and was a bit shorter than expected but overall a good fit. The back was easily tucked into my bra while maintaining the style of the dress. Sequins do itch arms a bit after awhile but that is the nature of sequins. Would wear again!

Pretty dress but not sure if best for maternity baby bump
The dress was a beautiful color and a stretchy material but the knot in the front laid oddly on mi 6 month baby bump. The way it was cut for the knot actually left a hole of my belly exposed at parts. Otherwise fit well, just had to watch and make sure it was positioned just so. I did not find it to be exceptionally flattering but it was not awful either. Dress was comfortable to wear and appropriate for work. The seam on the left shoulder was a bit awkward to me but it was supposed to be asymmetrical.

Stand out maternity work dress!
I absolutely loved this dress! I am 6 months pregnant and got this for work. My usual size is a 14/16 but I saw that this ran small so I got a 16 to leave room for my bump and it was perfect and had room to grow. I got lots of compliments on the dress and would have kept it longer if I didn't need to swap out my dresses for a Conference I am attending next week. I will say the purchase price was a bit much, but it was well made and perfect for maternity workwear. Will rent again!

Too short
This dress was nice. A bit snug BUT way too short to wear for work. I am tall and it hit right below my rear end leaving no room to bend over. Could not wear it. Not for maternity.

Beautiful for a big bust BUT tight waist!
I got this dress for a gala that I was attending. Unfortunately, it was VERY tight across the waist. My usual size did not fit so I sized up. Even then it was quite the operation to get zipped in. Once it was on, it felt ok but I was glad at the end of the night when I could breathe normally again. Would order this dress again but size up two sizes from regular size.

Great maternity work dress!
This was a beautiful dress with lots of potential. Still figuring out my maternity sizing so I would need to order up a size. Only complaint is that the slit in the back is a bit high - dangerously close to my buttox. Perhaps with a bigger size this problem would be alleviated. Would order/wear again.

Great maternity work dress!
This dress is classy and made of great quality. I just wish that it fit "truer" to my pre-pregnancy size. I am still figuring out maternity sizing, but I believe that I will need to size up on this dress in the future. I really enjoyed wearing this dress overall.

Pretty dress for pregnancy
Loved this dress, it just fit a bit exact over my bump and across my back for my liking. I would order again in a larger size.

Favorite maternity work dress to date!
I absolutely love this dress! I got a bunch of Compliments on it and was very excited to see that it came in a lighter springtime color. A maternity wardrobe staple for the professional mama to be! Only returned it to get the spring color. Wore it a LOT and felt beautiful in it without feeling enormous at 5 and 6 months pregnant. The dress was very well made and excellent quality.
