Comfy and elegant!

I received so many compliments in this dress! I normally feel uncomfortable wearing anything so form fitting, but hey, pregnancy is the only time you don't have to suck anything in! I was comfortable and felt beautiful all night. It was also nice that it's a single layer because I get hot so easily these days! Highly recommended!

Perfect Statement Dress

Wore this at 23 weeks pregnant, to my husbands work retreat / awards dinner. It was perfect and formal enough for being a maternity dress. Great piece. Very comfortable and easy to wear. It does wrinkle but very easy to steam.

Perfect Wedding Guest Dress - maternity style

I wore this maternity dress to a wedding and received so many compliments! I'm a size 12 and ordered the XL and it fit just right. I wore shape wear underneath which helped smooth out my trouble places. The material had a slight stretch to it, but not too much. I'm 5'7 and got the regular length as well and it worked out great.

PERFECT maternity dress for holiday party

I am 28 weeks pregnant, and this dress was absolutely perfect. So comfortable, so easy to get on and off, got so many compliments, couldn’t have loved this more. I’m always worried about RTR gowns being long since I’m 5’2” - wore 3 inch heels and it was the perfect length

Comfy but a little short

Im 5’7 and although it was the perfect length in flats if you chose to wear anything with heels or were a little take the length would be a little short I believe.

I rented this dress twice, once when I was four months pregnant and again at seven months. Both times the dress was comfortable and I received so many compliments! It does wrinkle, but it’s not that noticeable.

Super Comfy and Beautiful!

I'm in that stage where I am so uncomfortable and nothing seems to fit right. This material was wonderful to wear. I wore at 33 weeks pregnant and it was easy to put on and felt comfortable to wear all day and night. I didn't need to wear a bra, just pasties and that was a huge relief given the back pain during pregnancy. I am currently 5'6 160 pounds and the small fit perfectly.

Absolutely loved this dress. It fit perfectly and hugged my body but was EXTREMELY comfortable to wear for 12 hours. Would recommend to anyone pregnant for a formal event. (22 weeks pregnant, had gained about 20 lbs)

love the color

I wore this 33 weeks pregnant to a wedding and felt great in it. It's tight, so I felt like you could even see the line of my thong in the back. There isn't any ruching, so I did feel like the seems were pulled towards my belly, but it wasn't a dealbreaker. Overall, it worked great for a black tie optional summer wedding.

Gala fabulous, even when pregnant!

I was admittedly not excited about trying to find a formal maternity gown for a recent gala but thank goodness for RTR! This dress was perfect for me at about 28 weeks. I got SO many compliments and felt glamorous and pretty. Plus, it was comfortable, even with my maternity support shorts underneath!

Fit My 3rd Trimester Body Perfectly!

I was very skeptical about having to wear a formal dress 36 weeks pregnant, but I got so many compliments in this! I'm 5'3 and currently 150. I wore heels otherwise it would've been too long, but the dress was very stretchy and comfortable! I will say the material was spandexy and didn't strike me as formal necessarily, but the style/color/need for maternity flexibility made it the perfect dress!

The dress fit so nicely. The material was so stretchy and also forgiving. I also LOVED that the top was lined so I could go braless, even with my giant pregnant boobs!

Correct sizing but I feel like a sausage

This is super comfortable and stretchy. I’m six months pregnant and pushing 170 pounds, I got the medium Petite which fits I guess? But I still feel pretty sausage-y. Maybe because I’m self-conscious of my hips area. I don’t think I’m comfortable enough to wear it because it is pretty snug, although very comfortable.

If you’re a pregnant wedding guest, rent this!

This dress is amazing. The fabric is thick and stretches to fit well but doesn’t feel cheap at all. It looked amazing and I got so many compliments. Wore my regular strapless bra without any issues! I am six mo the pregnant in these photos, 5”7 weigh 165.

Very soft, elegant.

I enjoyed wearing this dress and got compliments all night at the Oscar party I rented it for. I am in my third trimester and this dress was a dream - soft, beautiful, classy. It's definitely form fitting and the material is not forgiving, so be smart about your underwear choices. Otherwise this dress was great!

Great formal maternity dress

I wore this dress at 29 weeks pregnant to a black tie wedding and I was comfortable all night. It's thick and stretchy, easy to sit in, and smoothed out and lumps and bumps. I didn't find myself tugging or pulling at it at all. I'm 5'3" and I wore 3 inch heels and it was about floor length. Pre-pregnancy I'm a size 4/6, currently a 36DDD, and this dress in a medium fit well.

Gala

The dress fit great. It had a little give which was great since I'm 8 months pregnant. I'm 5 ft 2 in, 150 lbs and I wore heels. It was the perfect length. You could wear the sleeves up or down, I chose midway. It wasn't restrictive or uncomfortable. I wore a strapless bra which worked out great with the top and sleeves. The dress wasn't thin material so I didn't worry about my skin peeking through the dress. I loved this dress and was so happy with it. The slit on the leg gave it an extra appeal.

Great color and great fit to accentuate a baby bump.

The fit was perfect to draw attention to a growing baby bump. Only downside was that I needed to wear a strapless bra (or pasties would work, too) and I don't have a strapless bra that fits very well at 26 weeks pregnant. Overall the color and fit of the dress made me feel great.

Great Maternity Dress at 27 weeks pregnant!

I wore this dress to a wedding 27 weeks pregnant. Everything fit perfectly! It has a lot of stretch and the material is thick and not see through at all, which always worries me with these tight style dresses! I got tons of compliments the whole night. The dress really accents your bump, and I loved how the off the shoulders covered up a bit of my arms but never slid. They shoulders and arms have elastic so they stay in place all night. You can wear this with or without a bra too! Great dress!
