As someone who's currently expecting baby number three, I think I can speak for all of us soon-to-be parents out there when I say that dressing for anything pregnant is hard. Whether it's simply getting leggings on, finding work-appropriate clothes, or putting together something decent for brunch, the struggle is real. Now, throw a dress code in there, perhaps a destination element, and the added stress of wanting to look fab for an event where you're going to mingle among tons (often hundreds) of people who have also put their best foot forward for the night. The pressure is on.
Today, I'm here to alleviate some of that pressure! Inspired by my own constant search for cute, bump-friendly clothes and a few special events to shop for on the horizon, I figured I'd share the best wedding-ready dresses on my radar—most of which are not from the typical maternity brands and sections.
I knew Mango would come through.
I actually tried this on already, and it's even better than it looks.
Gotta love an open-back moment.
Taller Marmo is a trove of options for someone looking to invest a bit in a dress.
I love the minimalist styling.
It's ideal.
Not for the timid.
I own this in an older print, and it's one of my favorite dresses.
It's giving wedding in Mexico.
Stretchy!
This is a purchase you'll come back to over and over again.
They did so well with this color scheme.
Norma Kamali is another brand you can look to for tons of options.
Love a baby-blue moment.
I've been eyeing this for a while.
There's definitely room for a bump in there.
For a fun night out.
You'll figure the undergarments out.
Wait until you see the back.
Just keep reinventing it with new accessories.
You can't go wrong with stretchy plus slit.
The occasion shop is full of options.
Perfect for somewhere warm.
The silhouette is very CBK.
It also appears to come with a matching silk pouch that I'm convinced can be repurposed into an evening bag.
I want it in all four colors.
I'm always drawn to this silhouette.
Beach wedding, perhaps?
Just wear it and let the compliments roll in.
Simply perfect.
I'm a sucker for sage.
Still loving navy.
