Mamas, let’s be real here.
Dresses are easy, cute, and comfortable…except, when it is not accommodating your growing belly!
During my first pregnancy, I didn’t want to buy too many maternity clothes because they seemed expensive for the amount of time you are wearing it. BUT then I realized, I was not comfortable with my pregnant body because my regular clothes was not flattering for my pregnant body.
This time around for my second pregnancy, I wanted to be proud of my baby bump and find maternity dresses that are comfortable, cute, and affordable!
In this pregnancy, I have tried on MANY maternity dresses on Amazon and elsewhere, and I want to help every pregnant mama to find dresses that will grow with you and your cute baby bump!
Let’s show off that cute bump of yours!
…without breaking the bank. Because, you know there are lots of other things to buy for the new baby
TOP FIVE
MATERNITY DRESSES
↠ on Amazon under $25! ↞
1. Sleeveless Tank Scoop Bodycon Dress
This style is very popular, and you will see many of them on Amazon, but I have to tell you…THEY ARE NOT ALL made the same. I bought this one and two other ones from other sellers to test it out and the other two I had to return, because the material was not good.
This one pictured is the most comfortable one! I have taken naps in it. It is THAT COMFORTABLE! Save yourself time, and purchase this one for its soft material and elasticity that will grow with you and your bump!
I also love this dress, because you can style it so easily!

Kimonos from Amazon
1. Floral Kimono (Beige) $15.99
2. Leopard Print Kimono $16.99
Polka Dot Top from Old Navy
$14.99
2. Empire Waist Maxi Dress
When you just want to freely twirl and dance back and forth with your dress
or
comfortably sit on the floor “Indian Style” or “Criss Cross” without any constraints and without showing your undies LOL.
I wear this dress when I just want to feel free and not worry if I shaved my legs or not, because there will be a point where you can’t shave your own legs over your baby bump!
Color Ordered: Black
Size Ordered: Small
Pre Pregnancy Size: XS
Height: 5′ 2″
If this one is sold out, another great alternative is from MotherBee. You can purchase it on Amazon too! It is just a tad bit more expensive. This one is slightly better quality, but I wear both dresses very often! (At least once or twice a week!)
Color Ordered: Burgundy
Size Ordered: Small
Pre Pregnancy Size: XS
Height: 5′ 2″
3. Knitted Bodycon Midi Dress
This is another dress where you can style it in many different ways! I love the material and it gives an added texture to your outfit with its knitted style.
This dress is surprisingly very stretchy, so it will grow with you and your baby bump!
Color Ordered: Dark Beige
Size Ordered: Small
Pre Pregnancy Size: XS
Height: 5′ 2″
Knitted Skirt Option!
I am all about knitted ribbed skirts and dresses! If you want a skirt option, I highly recommend these on Amazon!
4. Short Sleeve T-Shirt Dress
This was a fun photoshoot for Hello Fresh!
What made it also fun was this dress! It surprisingly is comfortable and the ruched sides makes it very expandable for my growing belly.
I have worn this dress from the first trimester to the third trimester!
Color Ordered: Wine Red
Size Ordered: X-Small
Pre Pregnancy Size: XS
Height: 5′ 2″
5. Chiffon Retro Long Maxi Skirt
Yes, this is not a dress, but I had to add this adorable skirt!
It is not meant for maternity wear, but it is perfect for pre-pregnancy, maternity, and postpartum. That is a win-win in my book!
This is another piece that I have worn from the first trimester to the third trimester! It adds a nice flare to your outfit, whether you are having a casual brunch or going out at night with your husband. Us pregnant mamas deserve to dress nice, feel nice, and go out on a nice date night!
Can I hear an amen?!
Color Ordered: Wine Red
Size Ordered: Small

Love these! I think they are so cute and an awesome deal! Sharing with all of my expecting friends!
I love your recommendations so much!!! I can’t believe these are under $25! Will definitely get a dress (or two) from Amazon if ever I get pregnant again 😛
These are some cute and stylish options. I did not buy any maternity clothes because most of my clothes still fit 🙂
These are all cute dresses! Can’t believe how affordable they are too!
