I bought this to wear to work during fall and winter. I love this dress so much that I immediately bought it in grey after wearing it the first day. Two coworkers asked where I got it and were surprised to learn it was maternity. It’s comfortable, stretchy, and very warm. At 17 weeks I could have sized down two from my pre-pregnancy size (which is generally a L, but technically XL per the Ripe size chart). I’m usually a US 12 in jeans/dresses and purchased this in a large. It is still a bit big— had to tuck some fabric under my bra hem to make more snug for my maternity photos. I’m sure it’ll be perfect later on. I also find the color to be more of a dark teal than forest, which I personally like even more. If you’re looking for a true forest green, I would not call this it. It’s my favorite maternity dress I’ve purchased so far— super cute with Chelsea boots and a walking coat for a more elevated look or a good sneaker and leather jacket for more casual. Interested to see how it will hold up— I think the synthetic fabrics in it will make it pill over time, but it looks much nicer quality than any other pieces I own that aren’t made with natural fibers.
Thanks for the lovely review Mac and we are so glad that you love the dress. That is a very cute photo!
Cute and so soft. According to the size chart, I'm a small, but will need to size up since the band is a little tight for me.
I thought this shirt had more body and shape. It’s just a typical white t-shirt. I love other ripe maternity clothes, this just was not it for me.
This shirt is adorable in terms of the construction, though I ended up having to size down because the M felt just a little too large. I would love for the shirt to be offered in more colors as the black was cute, but the white was simply too transparent to consider keeping. I'd buy more if you make it in more colors, would be a great daily maternity staple.
Really upset with these. They pilled between the thighs after only 1 wear. The crotch hangs low. I spent the day hitching them up. So sad because I bought two pairs to wear throughout my pregnancy.

I’ve gotten compliments both pregnant and postpartum with this sweater. The zippers feel cold if you don’t wear an undershirt and honestly, I don’t think it needs it for breast-feeding since the fit is loose. I wish they had more colors I would buy them all!
Goes with everything and very comfortable.
Thanks for your review Megan! We're so happy to hear that you find the Embrace Tee comfy and versatile. I'm sure you can see why this is one of our longest running and best-selling styles x
My daughter loves this dress. She wore it to her maternity photo shoot and the photographer liked it so much he took photos in the dress.
Such a beautiful dress and so comfy for being 30 weeks pregnant. After multiple washes the fabric has started to wear a little so my advice would be to make sure you run it through a delicate wash and it should last a lot longer
I like these pants for how light they are, especially in summer but I do find it a little annoying that you can’t put anything with a little weight (eg your phone) in the pockets as it will make the pants fall down a little. I don’t find these pants stay in place as well as others.
Comfy material and fits well. Would wear this even after I finish breastfeeding.
Fits much better than my other nursing tees. Flattering and comfy
A bit pricey compared to other nursing tees but I love the colour and fit. The material is comfortable when nursing in the heat
I already had a pair in a smaller size but went size up so I can grow into them. So comfy and can't tell they are maternity. Good length and great for warm weather, long enough to prevent chafing!
Look like real jeans or pants. Great fit, lots of movement and good length - I’m just over 6ft and the xl is full length on me.
These shorts are a perfect fit and very comfortable. I’m a size 8 and the shorts are an XS. They have assisted in easing Sciatica pain and provided relief from being on my feet all day.
Loveeeee this skirt! The most comfortable denim skirt ever and doesn’t look like typical ‘maternity’
Thank you so much, Monica!
Comfort and style are our thing, and it sounds like we nailed the brief with this one! So happy to hear that you love it xx
Love this dress- very classy and also practical, great material too!
Comfy and fits nicely, will be great coming in to the warmer weather.
A very lovley dress fits well true to size. It's now my favorite nursing dress.
The material is nice and soft especially around the waist.
Easy dress to wear and feed in. Thin enough for summer and versatile enough to layer for colder days. Love that it is actually properly long on me (I'm 176cm)! I was worried that the Large might be baggy but followed reviews for sizing and it is nicely fitted post partum.
Yay, finally a breastfeeding top that’s just a really nice, normal fit! I hate that so many are weirdly long or long at the back or designed for pregnancy also. This is easy to use and flattering
Love this dress. Very flattering at 24 weeks. Bought the small, pre-baby 8 and now 10, fits perfectly.
