11 summer maternity dresses from Target that we’re totally crushing on

As a mom of August and September babies, I can attest that maternity dresses are a pregnant person’s BFF throughout the summer months. Not only do they keep air flowing, but they look pulled together with practically zero effort.

After a year of sweat pants and ratty T-shirts, it feels exciting to wear real clothes again. And if you’re rocking a bump this summer? You’re in luck. There’s an endless supply of summer maternity clothes that will keep you looking fresh even when it’s one million degrees.

That said, it’s hard to justify spending too much on a wardrobe that only lasts a single season. What’s a budget-yet-fashion-conscious mama to do? Head to Target of course.

We scoured the aisles (in a digital sense, anyway) to find the best summer maternity dresses from Target. Whether you’re looking for something to wear to your baby shower or maternity shoot, a backyard BBQ or a beach vacay, these cute and comfy dresses have you covered.
