Review on Xpenyo Women'S Short Sleeve Empire Waist Maternity Dress With Pockets - Casual Style by Chantel Dickinson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

cute dress, but fabric is see-through

I was really excited to receive this dress. I am 7 months pregnant and was looking for a casual, comfortable dress to wear as it gets warmer. I didn't want to spend much on maternity clothes, so I planned to only purchase a few items that I can wear a lot now that I don't fit many of my clothes. I chose this dress because it has a high neckline, and it is longer than many other t-shirt/swing type dresses, and it has pockets. I am 5'1". My pre-pregnancy weight was 120, and I now weigh about 140 (almost all of this weight is in my belly, and some is in my breasts). I ordered a medium thinking that it would still be loose in the bust area, as I prefer loose clothing. I was disappointed when I tried it on to find that it was quite tight across my bust. I was also disappointed to find that it is somewhat see-through, especially in the bust area. I could see the color of my bra through the fabric, and because of the tightness, I could also make out the shape of the bra very easily. While the dress did fit the description, I am planning to return it because it does not fit me the way I had hoped. The fabric itself is not bad quality -- if it was a darker color it would be great -- but I think white fabric must always be made thicker so as not to be see-through. The fabric is soft, but does have a bit more of a synthetic feel than I was expecting. Very stretchy and comfy though. I simply do not feel like having to wear a full slip underneath it in hot weather in Ohio.

Pros
  • PROS:- Soft- Color and design as shown- Casual style, for a day in the farmer's market maybe :)
Cons
  • The dress may not be appropriate for formal events
