After searching for weeks for a maternity gown, I purchased this to use as an evening gown for a black tie optional event and it was perfect. While it isn't specifically a maternity gown, the empire waistline was ideal as it ties in the back. Im 20 weeks pregnant, 58 and I ordered a medium; you can see its long enough as well, plus I was wearing heels. It was extremely comfortable and flowed nicely so it allowed for me to move around as I was working the event, and wasn't just an attendee, so I was on my feet and doing a lot of running around.
