There is nothing more fun and convenient to wear during pregnancy than a comfortable and cute maternity dress. They lay easy on the bump, complement the areas we want, and make us look put together when we just rolled out of bed.

Having some maternity dresses accessible throughout your pregnancy is essential and will be so life-saving for those days (or weeks) when nothing seems to be working.

There are so many different maternity dresses for you to snag, from maxi dresses, midi dresses, mini dresses, and so much more. 

Maternity fashion has a long, rich history. So, as you can imagine, the options are endless. 

When looking for a good maternity dress, it’s essential that the style and material will gently accommodate your bump.

For example, bodycon dresses are great because they accentuate your bump while leaving plenty of room for your bump to grow. Plus, they pair great with leggings on chilly days.

Sundresses are also a tried-and-true silhouette as they are flowy and have more material to work with as your bump grows and expands. Whatever trimester you are in, you’re going to want your maternity dresses to fit every stage, including the fourth trimester.

When finding the chicest pregnancy dresses, remember that maternity clothes were made to fit you, not the other way around. If you do not feel comfortable or beautiful in them, then just say, “thank you, next,” and flip your remarkably long high ponytail. There is no settling when it comes to dressing your bump.

Expecting mamas love a good bodycon dress because they hug the bump, telling the whole, “look at my beautiful pregnant body that is carrying life.” They accentuate all your curves and look amazing. 

The Body Strapless Dress is a lovely tight maternity dress that can be worn with straps or strapless. Coming in lilac and black, this dress gives you the option for either a sexy evening look for date night or a summery picnic outfit — the ultimate day-to-night base.

If you are looking for a beautiful maternity dress for your upcoming maternity photoshoot, The Ivy Eyelet Midi Dress is hands down iconic.
Its cap sleeves and smock back are incredibly flattering. Not to mention, this maternity midi dress has a unique cut-out pattern that will set you apart at any girls’ weekend brunch. If you are also deciding between baby shower dresses, this is a fantastic choice to illuminate your pregnancy glow.

Having a soft, lightweight wrap dress is great for those summer weekend trips where you just need a dress that will be comfortable and fit just about any occasion. The Carolina Dress is a lovely v-neck nursing dress that looks incredible at any stage of pregnancy or postpartum.

With these warm summer months, it’s always great to have a mini dress on hand. The Grace Dress is a boho floral print piece that can be worn and used for so many different purposes.
Use as a cover-up at the beach, or pair with a cute jean jacket for your weekly farmers market run. Its flutter sleeves add a feminine touch to an already adorable dress.

Maxi dresses are always a favorite when it comes to pregnancy dresses. They are comfortable, stylish, and appropriate for so many occasions. The Emily Dress has a fun ruffle scoop neck with a delicate floral print.
Check out The Long Body Tank Dress, the ideal neutral-colored dress that can be worn with any pairing of jackets, shoes, and accessories. It’s easy to style on those days when you can’t remember where you left your keys, phone, purse, or keys… again.

Being a bridesmaid while pregnant can be glorious. If you’re wondering what you will wear, do not worry, there are gorgeous options. If your bestie bride wants to go with caramel golden or citron-colored dresses, The Short Ricky Slip Dress may be perfect for that special day. 

A sleeveless dress like The Fete Gown is also a stunning choice if you’re looking for an all-black maternity gown.

Changing gears to a more casual pregnancy dress, t-shirt dresses are well-suited for your lake days and strolls through the park. If tees are your usual fashion go-to, The Isa T-Shirt Dress is a fantastic cover-up dress to throw on when heading to the beach.

Pair this with a cardigan to pick up groceries and run errands with all the comfort of loungewear but all the style of runway moment. 

Its waffle pique fabric gives the dress a fun texture, and its stripes make it a fun outfit you could pair with a cute sun hat and flip flops.

After seeing some of the different styles of maternity dresses you can choose from this summer, could you see yourself wearing any of them? The great thing about dresses is there are so many types, lengths, patterns, and materials to choose from. And we haven’t even covered jumpsuits yet.
Whatever your style may be, even if you couldn’t possibly narrow it down to only one favorite, you can find a maternity dress(s) that will fab on and take your maternity clothing wardrobe to the next level.

Say “goodbye” to those unnecessary sweaty summer days and find some maternity dresses that will make you look picture-ready while not getting overheated. All of these styles are made to fit your pregnancy bump and bring that pregnancy glow to the forefront of your look. The only hot thing here is your impeccable fashion sense.
