3. A stretchy V-neck short-sleeve maxi dress available in 33 different colors and patterns so it'll be super easy to match your shower's theme! Maybe even pair it with a skinny belt to complete the look.
Promising review: "The material is super soft, stretches around your growing belly, and complements a baby bump perfectly! I also felt comfortable up top too, wasn’t too tight around my chest or arms at all. I didn’t feel like I was wearing a giant moo-moo night gown either! I felt beautiful and received many compliments on the dress! I was 35 weeks when I wore it for my baby shower. I can definitely wear it after baby arrives for summer/fall as well! Also gives you room for nursing. This dress definitely exceeded my expectations and I would recommend to any pregnant parent looking for a light, comfortable dress to wear for any occasion (shower, wedding, maternity photos, vacation, etc.). The colors are also a true match to what you see on Amazon. Absolutely a favorite in my pregnancy wardrobe! Would purchase again in a different color/design too!" —Cat

4. A lightweight short-sleeve bodycon dress featuring chic ruched sides that'll feel like a gentle, cozy hug for you and your baby bump.
Promising review: "Very comfortable and fits great! The material is soft and stretches and is longer than I expected, in a good way. It was knee length on me. I have worn it multiple times and I love how well it fits. If I bought this earlier in my pregnancy I would’ve definitely bought multiple styles. I wore it for my baby shower at 36 weeks pregnant and have worn it again at 39 weeks and it is still comfortable. It is a great quality and not see through, which is a plus!" —Ashley Walther

Promising review: "LOVE this dress. If I had more places to wear it, I would buy it in more colors. I bought this dress to wear with a lace kimono in the same color for maternity photos and also for my baby shower! You know the buttery soft leggings that were super popular in wild prints?

Material was cool, didn’t snag easy, laid on my body perfectly, stretching was perfect, I’d definitely order this dress for more events/purposes.
