Bump friendly!
This is not a maternity style, but fits a bump nicely in my pre-pregnancy size (20 weeks in this photo). I got a ton of compliments wearing it to work and it is perfect for the fall. I am keeping this one for a while for an upcoming trip to France and for work wear.

Breezy maternity dress
This was a little on the large side - I usually take an XS pre pregnancy. But it was able to work and cute for running errands in the summer time / transition to fall. I added a belt to give it some more structure.

Works for maternity!
Love this dress! Note that my "too small" was a rating based on being 20 weeks pregnant when wearing this dress. It has plenty of room for a bump, but the chest was a bit tight in my usual size. I was able to make it work at 20 weeks, but know further along I needed a size up. Got lots of compliments when I wore it to a bachelorette out to dinner. Note that as others have shared in the reviews, this is an olive green, not black as it appears in photos.

Felt a little bridesmaid-y in person and was large in the bust.
I probably would have worn to the wedding if I couldn't get an option in, but overall, it felt a bit like a bridesmaid dress in person. In the bust, it was a bit large and I am average-chested.

Obsessed! Gorgeous intricate detail and super flattering fit.
I am a 0 to 2, and the 2R fit well. I am 5'1 and had 3-inch heels on to make this work. But this is the most gorgeous dress (other than my wedding dress) I have worn. I am going to buy it - I can't part with it! The moment my husband saw me in it, he told me I had to keep it. We wore it for an at-home date night during COVID-19 because the wedding I rented it for was canceled. It was a fun and special night for us and the compliments I got from people on social media from the photos were abundant. I can't imagine what they'd say in person!! There is definitely a bit of wiring in the bodice that does stick you in the side on occasion, but I am going to fix it since I will be keeping.

Gorgeous detailing, but will overwhelm petites.
I got this in hopes of wearing to a wedding in Cabo, but alas, it overwhelmed my size. The waist falls far too low and looks frumpy, because of my petite size. Wanted this to work so badly! Be warned though either way, the sleeves were so tight on my arms and this was probably a size too big on me everywhere else. I tried tucking them in per other recommenders, which would have worked, had the rest of the fit not overwhelmed me. I would suggest sizing up. normally a 0, but 2 would've been best.

This dress fits beautifully, is of high quality material, and I loved it so much I bought it!
I am between a size 0 and 2, depending on the brand. The 0 fit me beautifully. The material is very comfortable, yet polished. My husband loved this one so much he suggested I buy it, which I did! I feel like I can probably also wear to work for important meetings. Very versatile.

Gorgeous, but didn't get to wear due to tight fit. Very flirty, great quality.
Runs small. You'll see how hard it was to zip in back, but the fit was fine elsewhere and I do worry it may have been too baggy/bunched in the waist if I sized up, as it was already a bit bunched. Maybe not an issue for those who are not petite.
