Yay!! Back with my second ! I shared the first with you all, along with a few tips about requesting a Fix while sporting a baby-bump. Hands down, these two fixes have been my two favorite fixes to date….and let’s just say I’ve received my fair share of fixes. Oops!
For this fix, I told my stylist about the weekend trip to New York City I had planned for the weekend to surprise Andy! She sent the greatest items — from ones that were more safe to ones that really push my comfort level! It was a to try on!
I’m honestly shocked that these pieces aren’t maternity clothes — they fit and flatter so well, it’s sort of crazy! And I’m super excited about wearing them all post-baby bump too! I have a few more thoughts on specific items and what to ask for as I share what I received this time around. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
Let’s get to it!
Sepp Belted Maxi Dress
The first piece I tried on was this Sepp Belted Maxi Dress. I wasn’t sure if I’d like the bold pattern as I took it out from my Fix box, but it was absolute perfection when I put it on.
I actually didn’t realize it came with the belt at first…
And I loved it then too. But after putting on the belt, there was no way I could send this one back! The length is perfect, and I’m not typically a fan of slits in dresses or skirts, but it makes this dress even more wearable for walks and hot summer days.
Bonus: this dress is the perfect nursing dress because of it’s cross-over bodice neckline.
I even wore it in the Big Apple as we walked close to five miles around the city this past weekend.
What do you think? Fan of the red, variegated stripes? Too bold?
Illina Crochet Detail Dress
I knew I wanted to love this Illina Crochet Detail dress the instant I saw the color. Coral? Yes. Yes. Yes. Please!!
I love how chic and sophisticated this dress is — the length isn’t one I usually find flattering on me, but because of the lace at the bottom it somehow works. I want to play with different belts to wear with it while pregnant, and I’m excited to see how it fits post baby bump.

Bellatrix Embroidered Detail Maxi Dress
This Bellatrix Embroidered Detail Maxi Dress isn’t one that I would readily grab and bring to a fitting room. It’s that boho look that I adore on other people, but so rarely find flattering on myself.
I love that my stylist pushes my comfort level a bit by sending items that fit characteristics I love —unique details, long maxi dresses– but pushes me in areas I probably wouldn’t venture myself —think the entire Free People collection. I always want to pull off those looks, I just never feel like I can!
I love the back on this dress, the embroidery in the front and the sheer bottom of the long, outer skirt. This dress is so comfortable!
Rana Racerback Cotton Dress
I told my stylist that I would love to wear something for our Saturday evening in the city that I wouldn’t typically wear, and boy did she answer that request! I adore wearing navy and this was not only comfortable, but the perfect dress to pack. This Rana Racerback Cotton Dress is made of jersey, so it didn’t wrinkle at all. I take that back, it’s honestly as thick as a sweatshirt — it’s so awesome. And the ruching on the sides make it work with a bump….I’m really curious to see how this fits me post bump!
Violette Embroidered Detail Dress
This Violette Embroidered Detail Dress is definitely the most outside my comfort zone — but it’s growing on me. It’s made of super light cotton, so it’s perfect for hot summers.
The only problem? It’s….um…. a littttttle bit short. Like probably-not-appropriate-to-wear-as-a-dress-right-now, short. I’ve shared how I lengthened a jersey maxi dress, but maybe I need to tackle lengthening a dress like this one, because I do really love how it looks as a dress! It’s especially flattering over a baby bump!
With leggings or skinny jeans, it’s perfect!
But then it’s not so wearable as a cool, summer dress. hmph.
So what do you think? Anyone else while sporting a baby bump?
- how would you style these pieces?
- which pieces do you love? hate? meh?
- if you had to pick only one from this Fix to keep…which would you pick?

And back by popular demand — images below with the dress names, in case you want to pin to a Stitch Fix Pinterest board for your stylist!
These are all SO cute!!! I have gotten 1 fix while pregnant and I thought that maybe 60% was bump friendly (I did tell my stylist to send items that could be worn into my pregnancy). Since then, I’ve stopped getting fixes. I was just worried that they’d be a waste of their time and my money! …
But I might just give it another try!! The first two dresses were definitely my favorite! :)
I would give it a try!! They are growing like CRAZY and their inventory is growing like crazy!! Let me know what you get!!
This is definitely my favorite fix of yours so far too!! Those all look SUPER cute on you! and that coral one…it’s just too much!
I love all the dresses! Especially the stripey one. So cool! That was a great Fix! I’ve been meaning to try Stitch Fix for months…
PS. My daughter is Harlow, too! Beautiful name. ;)
Just started reading your blog and love it! I just ordered my first stitch fix and I am looking forward to getting it. I love all the dresses in this fix and I agree with you on the boho style. But I think the last dress is so cute and love that you could transition it into the fall with jeans or leggings!
Wow! What a great fix! I LOVE the striped red maxi. That looks great with your bump and extra bonus that it will work for nursing. I could foresee a LOT of use out of that. The lace dress is stunning too. I could picture it dressed up for a night out even with a white blazer – that would look super chic. I kinda want it for myself but I’m having a hard time picturing how it would fit without a bump! ;) The dress with the rouching, I think, would be the other keeper. That is stunning for a date night or summer wedding. And it makes your legs look BUFF! (Just sayin’!)
Well done, Stitch Fix!

I love the Bellatrix maxi. They all fit the bump really well too! When I was pregnant I bought maternity clothing, but I preferred to buy regular clothing in a larger size. It worked in my benefit because I still fit what I have left. I haven’t been able to shed a pound of my baby weight.
I love the Sepp Belted Maxi Dress! It’s gorgeous on you. That’s so great that none of these are maternity clothes, so you can wear them post-baby, too! You’re really making me want to try Stitch Fix again – I’ve been so nervous to try it being pregnant!
I just received my first Stitch Fix with a bump and I gotta say it wasn’t my favorite! I’m on my 12th fix and this is the first one I’m disappointed with. Maybe it’s because I don’t feel comfortable yet (I’m only 9 weeks) but growing like crazy! I love everything you got though!
I look forward to more of your pregnancy style posts! :)

Love everything !! I’m assuming you’re keeping it all? Because you totally should! I just got my first fix the other day http://www.themommadiaries.com/2014/07/my-first-stitch-fix.html
You look great in all of them but I especially love the racerback dress!
Any chance you are ready to sell the Voilette Embroidered dress? I have a trip to Europe planned in a little over a week from now and I will be 20 weeks. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that dress but it’s not coming in my next fix :(
ooooooh – perhaps! email me! :) Kacia@coconutrobot.com :)
