If you’re pregnant this summer, it’s time to say goodbye to anything with a zipper (let’s be honest, we did that a while ago) and welcome a pregnancy summer staple: the maternity dress. Having had two summer babies and now expecting a third, I can attest to the importance of the perfect maternity dress during the hot summer days.
We’re all for staying in your PJs or maternity athleisure gear, but for the days you want to take it up a notch while also being comfortable, we’ve rounded up 18 maternity dresses (and a few non-maternity options, too!) that you’ll want to live in all summer long.
