Color and comfort better than expected!
I needed a maternity Mother-of-the Bride dress in the wedding color my daughter chose. Not an easy order to fill, I assure you! I was in despair, after the first dress I ordered turned out to be SO different from what I expected, color wise. This was the second dress I ordered, even though it didn't seem to be quite the right color either. When it came (in less than 48 hours!) I was delighted with the color, although much more vibrant than expected (high color saturation even after washing). I was looking for a turquoise with low green tones, and this dress turned out to be a better match than the picture on the website indicated (I chose the light cobalt)!The dress is VERY soft and comfortable, a definite plus for something I"ll be wearing all day while 8 months pregnant and hosting hundreds of people.In these pictures, I'm about 6 months along, 154 lbs, almost 5'4" tall. I chose the size large, which reaches the floor on me. I am debating taking up the hem an inch or two, since I tend to trip over skirts that long, although the length is gorgeous for pictures! I'll be wearing this dress after the wedding as well.The fabric is thin and shows every bump underneath, but my habit of wearing several layers underneath does the trick. I plan to dress it up with a heavy string of pearls, and possibly a corsage and the orange sash (also in the wedding colors). Hoorah, for an affordable solution to my maternity wedding dress dilemma!

Great staple item
So glad I decided to go ahead and purchase this. It fit as expected and is the perfect length for me (~5’7”) in flats. (~200-10lbs now buy this would fit through a range of weights.) I got it in black for my baby shower and it has been a great a staple item for pregnancy, especially when I need a comfortable and cute outfit. Its nothing special, but it has saved the day several times. I having short sleeves worked well for warmer months, and I add a sweater for cooler months. The few cons I have: I think for the quality, I wish it was a little cheaper. It’s a very simple dress and I think it’s slightly overpriced (at least when I purchased). I feel I have an average to slightly larger than average chest. The v-neck exposes my bra no matter what I wear, and I have to safety pin it closed to keep from exposing too much. If you had bright or patterned underwear and bent over, the dress may be sheer enough to slightly see the underwear. Overall, I’m happy with it and will continue to wear long after pregnancy. If we were in a more normal time without covid, I would have bought one or two more to wear out as well and get me through pregnancy.

Great dress for pregnancy, and PP!
This dress was soooo comfortable to wear! The quality is great and there’s a lot of stretch to the fabric. The color was true to how it was displayed. I ordered a medium, as I wore it during my last trimester, and even wore it PP (super easy to BF in). I’m 5’1” and it was pretty long, but I didn’t mind it too much

This dress is really comfortable. I'm the type that reads ALL the reviews ...
This dress is really comfortable. I'm the type that reads ALL the reviews before buying something, which is what I did with this dress. I wanted to add my reviews in case it helps someone. I love rayon material, and this dress is comfortable because of this fabric. The 2 things I don't like: the cleavage is strong, and the sleeves don't fit right so my big arms are amplified. Maybe I need a larger size so the sleeves aren't so tight, but they keep rolling up and I keep yanking them down. I'm worried that the dress would be too big if I did that. I definitely need a safety pin for the chest area. I'm a 38 DDD, and ordered this in a medium. The chest is just cut too low, so I don't feel comfortable showing off that much cleavage. With the way the dress sits, you have to pull down quite a bit so the elastic sits below the chest area. When I do that, everything is shown off. So the safety pin eliminates that. Because the fabric is so loose in that area, it becomes a problem. I think if it was tighter, it would stay better. This is also shows off any back rolls you may have, so I wear my smooth back bra for this. Other than that, the dress is super comfortable, the material is great, and it has washed well, so far. It's long, for sure, just as it looks in the picture. For reference, I'm 5'4, usually wear a large in everything, and I ordered the medium. I recommend sizing down so it doesn't look like a blanket laying over you, but you will have to see for yourself how this ends up fitting.

Breathable, stretchy, soft
The color is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! The material is soft, breathable, and still durable. We took our maternity pictures on a river beach with several sticks and even sat on a log along with sitting in the sand. When on the log the dress did not snag at all! I was super impressed when I stood up after sitting in the sand and didn't have to brush any sand off my legs underneath the dress. I was sure that because of how breathable it was, that it would let sand in but it did not! It was a perfect fit. I was a month away from being induced in this picture and was all belly!

Beautiful dress!
I wore this dress for my baby shower which occurred in the hot month of July. This dress was lightweight and sweat-friendly. No stains came through and it was a muggy day… Very comfortable and flattering for a baby bump!

Honest Review!
I’m about 5’5 & 160lbs. Was 26 weeks pregnant at my sisters wedding & were an XL in jockey bras Target(idk my cup size bc lose fitting sports bras have been saving my life) I ordered a medium at first based on the reviews & the wrap part couldn’t even make it to the bottom of my bust. I had about an inch or 2 until it reached the bottom of my bust. It was too tight around my bust & when I pulled it down to cover them completely, the seem at my shoulders were hanging down 2 inches further. Wasn’t a flattering look.I returned it & got the large.The large fit perfectly! The dress is kinda long, but I didn’t mind considering I’m pregnant & it’s kinda hard to paint your toes so… it honestly saved me in photos! It was tight on my bust area & I had enough room around the armpits as well. You might need to wear an actual bra with padding or else people can kinda tell if you are cold. xD
