Fashionable Summer Maternity Dresses
Summer is fast approaching, so now is the time to begin shopping for maternity dresses before the pickings are slim. If you have been pregnant for more than a few months, you doubtless have some good basics, but you may not have begun the dress hunt yet. Late spring and early summer is definitely the dress season so many with graduations, weddings, outdoor parties, not to mention baby showers! You will most likely find you could easily use a few choice casual dresses for those hot summer days, an occasion dress for a wedding or shower and maybe a few versatile office dresses.
The biggest advantage of maternity dresses in summer is that they are easy to wear and non-restricting, cooler than pants, and can really flatter your maternity shape and allow you to feel 100% woman! Here are a few top style picks for summer maternity dresses:
The Wrap Maternity Dress
Summer is packed full of long hot days and with your body temperature rising and increasing pregnancy weight gain, you will want to cool off in something easy to wear and very comfortable. In terms of easy to fit and timelessly stylish, there is nothing better than your basic wrap maternity dress. Japanese Weekend makes a classic Short Sleeve Collar Maternity Dress in both a solid navy and black in a jersey fabric. This dress can easily transition from the office to out to dinner or can be worn as a casual weekend dress. Another great wrap dress is JKU’s short sleeve Wrap Maternity Dress. This versatile V neck wrap maternity dress is similar to Japanese Weekend’s, only minus the collar and with an adjustable front tie. JKU’s Wrap Maternity Dress comes in a beautiful dusk blue solid color in a super soft and stretchy Rayon/Spandex blend.
There is no better time to buy an awesome sundress than when you are expecting. Sundresses are so easy to wear and allow you to bask in the sun without sweltering in the heat. The Maternal America Embroidered Dress in cool mint is an understated yet beautiful sundress that can be worn for everyday casual or for a special occasion. This dress hangs beautifully on your figure and does not wrinkle. The garment dyed mint color is accented by floral embroidery throughout and the ruffle detail allows a casual elegance and effortless beauty that is only enhanced by your pregnancy. On a similar theme, Juliet Dream’s Embroidered Maternity Dress is a versatile lightweight cotton paisley pattern sundress. This dress has that casual summer sundress feel with adjustable tie shoulder spaghetti straps, tube smocking and ruffle hem which hits a bit above the ankle. This is another great example of a maternity dress that be worn extremely casual or even to a wedding.
The Transition Maternity/Nursing Dress
If you are due during the summer and hope to get more mileage out of your summer maternity dress investment, choosing a dress that can be worn during and after your pregnancy is a good idea. Majamas, a label that specializes in nursing and transition fashions, has a number of great choices. Their Praline Maternity/Nursing Dress does not look like a maternity or nursing dress but is designed for both. This dress has a fun kaleidoscope pattern with a stylish black accent band above the hem. The pretty cap sleeve with V neck style is flirty and cool for summer and the front cross over design easily doubles as a nursing dress. It’s stretchy rayon/poly/lycra blend will stretch with you during your pregnancy and spring back into place for wear after you have your baby.
The Sleepy Nursing Dress is another great transition wear dress by Majamas. This dress has been around for years and is a favorite for expecting and new moms everywhere. The Sleepy Dress is a tank style dress, with built in bust support which is also Nursing Bra friendly. This dress features a cross over front design for nursing and the hem hits just above the knee. This dress can be worn casually or accessorized for a more formal occasion. The cotton/lycra blend allows this dress plenty of stretch so that it can also be worn during pregnancy.
