Dresses with comfort, stretch, and softness — aka the three pillars of maternity clothing.
Promising review: "I wore this dress for our maternity photo shoot and it did not disappoint. It photographed SO well and we are in love with how our pictures turned out. Like some of the other reviews said, this dress is great for photos, but probably won’t work so great for a baby shower since it’s so long and a bit difficult for walking. Nonetheless, if you’re considering buying this dress for a photo shoot, get it! You will love it!" —Stacy L.

Promising review: "I love this dress. I'm currently pregnant and its stretchy enough in the back to accommodate my growing bump but will still look super cute once I'm back to my normal body. I bought the yellow color and it's probably my favorite dress right now." —Chelsea

Promising review: "I legitimately love these dresses. They're very fairly priced, they feel like pjs, they fit really well and I don't have to think about clothes which is great right now. I ordered three of them in different patterns." —Hickey

Promising review: "I needed a nice lightweight dress to wear not only to my baby shower, but also to wear to other occasions for the remainder of my pregnancy. I will be buying more of these!! I was so comfortable all day. I recommend this dress to anyone as they are going through their pregnancy. The material is so soft and it will grow with you." —Momof2

Promising review: "Loved this dress! Wore it for maternity pictures. It had plenty of room to grow in as well. Still fits after birth of my son. Was a little on the thin side for material but other than that was perfect." —R
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XL-4XL and two prints).
Promising review: "Great fit, super comfortable, lots of stretch! I ordered this dress around 16 weeks and there is still so much room for stretch. I wear it on my lazy days and my dress up days, it’s really that comfortable. I bought a ton in different patterns for whenever I can go back to work during the pandemic, because all of my work clothes don't fit and there is NO WAY I’m going out shopping and trying clothes on." —khandice

Promising review: "I LOVEEEE this dress. I loved this dress when I was pregnant and even know after giving birth. It fits so well. For pregnant and breastfeeding mamas, this is a must have. You can easily unbutton to be able to breastfeed. I can not recommend this enough!!" —Fatima Smith

Promising review: "I’m 20 weeks pregnant and bought size large. This is by far my fav dress in my closet right now. It’s super comfy, breezy, and stretchy! It was a little snug around the butt area but it does stretch a little as it’s worn. Feels great around the belly area!" —Jane Ridgill
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and 24 colors/prints).
Promising review: "I bought this dress in black to wear to the office. It works perfectly with a long necklace and a blazer. Quality is high and the dress is very comfortable. I am usually either a small or medium. I ordered both and both fit. I like the fit of the small better, yet may keep the medium for when I get bigger during the rest of the pregnancy. To conclude, I would highly recommend!" —Astrid

Promising review: "This dress was PERFECT for my baby shower!!!! It has great stretch and fits like a glove. You can accessorize freely! It is slightly see through but nude undergarments worked great!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Can’t say enough good about this dress. Super soft and cute. Has enough stretch for baby to grow, but fits great even with small bump. You can dress it down with sneakers or throw on knee high boots and jacket and dress it up. Essential maternity dress!" —Mary B

Promising review: " This dress was perfect for my maternity shoot. It fit perfectly and photographed beautifully. I bought several maternity gowns, unsure of which would be best for my shoot, but this by far was my favorite. You can't beat the price and the quality is good." —Joe Lantz

Promising review: "I wore this to my baby shower and felt like a princess! I got so many compliments. It is very soft and I was cozy the whole time. I was able to wear sandals due to the baby bump (it still touched the floor but I didn't trip or anything), if I weren't pregnant this dress would have definitely been on the longer side. Loved this dress so much!." —Melisa

Promising review: "Bought this dress for my baby shower and maternity pictures. LOVED IT. Wasn’t sure it was going to fit but it fit perfectly, wasn’t too short or too tight. I’m 38 weeks pregnant in these pictures so I was super surprised it still fit 💘." —Domreneer

Promising review: "I truly love this dress. I loved the peachy color. It's shaped beautifully...billowy, long, yet fitted at the top. I've worn it while I wasn't pregnant, and at 35 weeks pregnant, and it fit well each time. I recommend :)" —Trudy

Promising review: "This dress is really great. I got the maroon/wine color and it’s a beautiful rich color. The material is very soft and nicely stretchy - I am about 3 months pregnant and I can see how I can still wear this while I am farther along due to the scrunched material at the waist. I would buy again!" —Sarasri
