Adorable maternity jeans that hug your body
I selected "Runs Small" because they run small specifically for J Brand and compared to this same pair of J Brand maternity jeans that comes in Blue (I had to go two sizes up compared to the blue ones). I'm 5'7", 21 weeks pregnant, 140 lbs and wearing size 30 in these jeans (was 128 lbs pre-pregnancy). I originally ordered the 29s, and they fit but were just a bit too snug on my belly -- my only caveat is that my pregnancy belly seems lower than average. If you carry higher, this sizing issue may not affect you. Overall I love the snug fit of these jeans on my lower half, so they don't look like maternity jeans at all. They're also cropped above the ankle, so they work well with all of my sneakers and short booties.

Comfortable fit with room to grow
I'm 5'7" and weighed 128 lbs. pre-pregnancy. I'm now 21 weeks pregnant and 140 lbs. wearing a size 6 in this coat. It fits comfortably through the arms, shoulders, and body but not loose. If you want extra room for multiple layers or jackets underneath, you might like one size up better. I still have a lot of growing to do, but there are full size zippers up each side of the coat, which allow it to expand several more inches as needed. This coat has been great for keeping me warm in the Michigan winter when it's in the 20s & 30s.

Great everyday jeans for maternity
These jeans run very small to the point, where you legitimately need to go up 2-3 sizes. I normally wear a 28 or 29, so I originally ordered a 29 based on reviews saying they ran small. I physically couldn't get the 29s onto my body because they were so small and not stretchy. I replaced them with a 31 and like them a lot. They still fit snugly and hold my legs/rear in place. They are cropped above the ankle, which I like for wearing with low booties & sneakers, but it's just good to know that in advance. Also, the stripe down the side is dark blue (not black like it may appear in pictures). My stats: 21 weeks pregnant, 5'7" tall, 140 lbs. Pre-pregnancy I weighed 128 lbs. I like these jeans a lot but may have to size up to a 32 next month to maintain comfort. I docked this product 1-star because while worth finding the right size, the sizing is much less than intuitive in a period of your life where getting dressed is already hard enough :)

I only tried on the dress
I ordered two dresses for the same event and wore the other dress. I tried this dress on and found that it runs large. A size 6 was too big for me. It also runs short. At 5'7" with 4" heels, it was several inches off the ground.

The dress is beautiful & eye-catching.
Very glamorous look and a flattering style for a sportier body type. I wouldn't choose this option if you are trying to blend in. You will get lots of compliments. I should have definitely worn the 6, but there was an issue with that size so I (barely) squeezed into the 4.

I got lots of compliments. Really enjoyed the look for a formal event.
The length of the dress looks mis-leading on the model. It wasn't crazy short. It was definitely short but appropriate. It runs true to size and maybe a tad small. I definitely couldn't fit in my backup size which was a 4.
