Sprout Collection

Sprout Collection has provided me with amazing quality pieces for various events I've attended this summer (baby showers, weddings, etc). I would have spent so much more money purchasing these designer pieces otherwise, so this subscription service was a no brainer. I've received many compliments on the outfits and felt beautiful wearing them. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of some nicer pieces during pregnancy!

I wanted to love a subscription-based maternity clothing business - what a great idea for a niche in-demand market. However, Sprout Collection falls short for two main reasons:
1. Once you are officially logged in (as a paying subscriber) you realize their vast selection is actually pretty limited when you search by size. I also realized with my first order that some of the items they rent out aren’t even specifically maternity clothes and don’t accommodate the bump.
2. Considering the business is an online subscription, their customer service processes are shockingly bad. For instance, when I spoke with one service rep about my order he was confused about what items I had because he had looked up the wrong “Alice”. I’d hope they would have a more sophisticated system for using their client database than a first-name search. Secondly, when I decided the service wasn’t for me and canceled my subscription, they continued to charge me claiming I hadn’t returned the items. I have now just received confirmation that the error was on their side and am awaiting a refund.

As I said, there is a lot of potential here and clearly, based on the other reviews, this subscription works for other pregnant mamas out there. I wanted to share my personal experiences to manage expectations for other prospective subscribers.

Sprout collection offers a great and unique service. I found it very useful to be able to rent some nicer items for work or events and be able to swap out the following month as my bump was growing. The selection is amazing and everything is handled in a very timely and professional way. Highly recommend!

Sprout collection is amazing! When my size was changing every month during my second pregnancy and I needed fashionable outfits for work and special occasions I was able to rent pieces, instead of buying them and only wearing them once or twice. The best thing is, I got 4 new pieces every month! They do an excellent job at choosing items that suit different styles and body types. I so wish they had been around for my first pregnancy!

When I met a fellow pregnant woman at a party and she was wearing the most fabulous dress, I asked her where on earth she was buying her maternity clothes & she told me about Sprout. I signed up immediately! I remember rushing home to get online & select my first box. Being pregnant with my last child, I wanted to look fabulous but couldn’t justify investing in such a temporary wardrobe. Sprout was fantastic! I got tons of complements on the clothes, got to feel like I was wearing something fun & new, and the whole process was SO easy!!! I highly recommend renting from Sprout.
