Bump & Milk Sienna Midi Dress

Maternity dresses are a staple piece of clothing in every pregnant mother’s wardrobe. We’ve picked out of some of our most favourite maternity summer dresses that will see you and bump through the warmest season.

In the past, maternity dresses either looked like shapeless sacks or were exclusively unflattering, stretch-jersey affairs, but now there are plenty of chic and fashionable dresses that can accommodate your bump in style while keeping you cool in what can be a pretty tough season to go through during the height of pregnancy!

We’ve rounded up our favourite buys for everyday comfort and style, as well as some gorgeous maternity wedding guest dresses and occasion dresses too.
