Duchess, is that you? In this playfully sophisticated style with a side tie and ruffle hem, you can pass for baby shower royalty. We love the classic navy hue and oh-so-perfect length that won’t leave you flashing your guests when you sit to open gifts. (See? We’ve thought of everything.)

We love a dress that doesn’t send us spiraling on what bra will actually work. Add in the ethereal blouson sleeves and gorgeous textured embellishments and this piece is too good to wear only once.

This sophisticated sheath dress features an extra flourish of femininity—a ruffle shoulder detail we absolutely adore. The stretchy design comes in three gorgeous colors (Black, French Blue, and Wild Orchid) which feel appropriate in any season.

For a more casual affair, you can’t go wrong with this knit dress style from H & M. The nautical stripes always look crisp and pair perfectly with a comfortable pair of fresh white sneakers. (Who wants to deal with heels at this point?!)  Even better? The super affordable price tag.

Nova Dress is one of those pieces you never forget, with an eye-catching popcorn texture, puff (but not too puffy) sleeves and a color-block motif that’s impossible to pass up.

With so much attention to detail, there’s a long list of reasons we adore this vibrant Seraphine style. There’s the summery hue, beautiful geometric eyelet texture, flutter sleeves, sash waist, breathable cotton fabric…just to name a few. Add in smocked panels  and hidden zippers at the bust  which allow you to keep it in rotation as a nursing dress and we’re sold.

Flutter sleeves that can be worn on or off the shoulders, an adorable ruffled hem and smocking that gently hugs your bump make this sweet dress photo-ready and comfortable too. And it’s available in both pink and blue if you’ve got a theme to uphold!

Hatch is known for creating stunning and versatile pieces that last through pregnancy and beyond—and this breezy caftan-style dress is no exception.

In case you were unaware, yes, the ever-popular Nap Dress from Hill House Home now comes in maternity styles! Flowy and soft, with a flattering square neckline and smocked bodice, it’s the perfect dress for baby showers and beyond!

A flowy, tiered skirt and floral embroidery at the neckline and sleeves make this a boho-loving mama’s perfect match.

Prairie-style, but make it pretty. We’re feeling the puffed sleeves and smocking details which make this floral frock a comfortable and cool option for garden showers.

Whether you wear it as a u-neck, off the shoulder or as a tube dress, you’re certain to stun in this versatile maxi. A modest side slit makes it easy to move around and pose for all. the. photos.

If the soft gauze, dreamy cut and long-lasting style of the Momoka dress isn’t enough to make you fall in love, how about a matching onesie or romper for that baby-to-be?

With this beauty’s intention right there in the name, it’s kind of a no-brainer. The Ingrid + Isabel Party Dress is a floor-sweeping number that’s a winning combination of style, comfort and sustainability. And with a sweet fluttery ruffle that extends from the sleeve right down the back, it’s beautiful coming and going.

With a cut that will take you through pregnancy, nursing and beyond this delicate and flowy maxi is just magic. And if your celebration is more a second baby sprinkle than a shower, there’s a version for your mini as well! (We also love Ivy City Co’s inclusive sizing which ranges from XXS-5X.)

A tiered tulle style that will keep you comfortable and looking fab. And not only does it get high marks as a maternity dress, but we could totally see buying it without rocking a bump–it’s that cute!
