Products you buy through our links may earn us a commission. Oh, and if something's out of stock, oops, it was there (and all prices were accurate) at time of publication.
First of all, congratulations. Now let’s find something nice for you to wear that makes you feel good and look good at the same time. All of these dresses — from flowy maxis to bodycon options — will accentuate your bump in the best way.
Looking for more affordable, stylish clothes? Here’s what to wear when working, traveling, and playing — and picks for your kids, too.
A silk dress that’s washable…
This dress is 100% silk, but once you’ve danced as long as your swollen feet will allow, you can throw it in the wash and it’ll come out like new. It has an elegant belt you can tie however you’d like, and a front slit to show a little leg. ($99.90, Quince)
A nursing shawl you’ll wear before and after the baby comes…
We love a multipurpose item. You can wear this soft cotton-cashmere-blend shawl over your evening dress, then when the baby arrives, you can use it to nurse or as a baby blanket. The fabric is breathable but not see-through. ($39.90, Quince)
A mesh bodycon dress to show off your bump…
It has shirring throughout and a mesh overlay. It's perfect for a fall wedding, since the stretchy fabric leaves you plenty of room to move. The high neck and dark floral print make it an elegant choice. ($132, Nordstrom)
A sexy slip dress…
Now this is a maternity dress. You’ll be turning heads in this silky slip dress with lace trim. It’ll fit your bump at any stage and is comfortable enough for all day. The blue is pretty for any season, and it also comes in a non-lace version. ($155, Hatch)
A romantic tulle maxi dress…
This maxi dress has a stretchy elasticized waist, tulle flutter sleeves that can be worn up or off-the-shoulder, and a tie at the neckline. The cascading ruffles are fun but won’t make you look like a cupcake. It’s a great option if you get to pick your own bridesmaid dress. ($139, Petal & Pup)
A maxi dress to own in multiple colors…
From the neckline to the ruffled sleeves to the back cutout, this dress has all the right details to make you feel your best. It’s made of lightweight fabric that works for all seasons, and the tie in the back allows you to adjust the fit as your body changes. ($44, Nordstrom)
A shift dress with a lot of stretch…
Even though this dress is fitted, the fabric has plenty of spandex in it, so it'll move with you. Plus, the shirring on the sides highlights your bump. The asymmetrical sleeves give it a chic look. ($29.99, Old Navy)
A generous maxi dress you won’t grow out of…
You’re guaranteed to be able to wear this one throughout your entire pregnancy. So whether you’re not ready to share the news or you’re approaching your due date, it’ll keep you covered. The neckline is pretty, and the large floral print works for several occasions. ($59.99, H&M)
A pleated halter dress that looks more expensive than it is…
This dress has a halter neckline, pleats all over, and an empire waist. The olive green is lovely for a fall wedding, and the length is just right. This brand has a lot of cute and affordable maternity clothes. ($89, Target)
An embroidered option with more coverage…
This dress is like wrapping up in a cotton poplin dream — it has plenty of coverage in the bust, a large flowy skirt, and a generous sleeve. If you’re not interested in anything tight-fitting, this is the flowy dress for you. ($115, Hatch)
The Nap Dress you know and love…
Consider investing in the Nap Dress, since you can wear it while you’re pregnant, when you’re postpartum, and years later. It’s no different from the regular version, but the smocking is generous enough to accommodate your growing bump. It comes in many different lengths and patterns. ($178, Hill House Home)
An activewear dress with a built-in bra…
This dress may come from one of our favorite activewear brands, but you’ll wear it for much more than your daily walks. Dress it up with heels for date night, or even wear it to the office with a blazer. The best part? It has a built-in shelf bra, so no extra layer is required. ($128, Bloomingdale's)
A mini dress that looks vintage…
While not technically a maternity dress, this mini has a swingy silhouette that’s perfect for any trimester. It comes in three colorful patterns, has pockets, and pairs nicely with sneakers or ballet flats. The dog pattern is especially fun. ($168, Anthropologie)
