Cute Maternity Casual Dresses?

Where have you been buying cute maternity casual dresses?

I don't want to spend a lot... I looked in Target and bought one, but it made me look like a house!!!

Thanks so much!!

ON and they arent even maternity...most are just summer dresses with an empire waist that sits above belly and fit.
Even at 34wks, this twin belly bump fits into them.

My mom got me a cute one at Kohls

I've also been wearing the regular target sun dresses- they are stretchy and are working for me so far at 17 weeks

Maternity dresses always make me look much bigger than I am. At this point, I don't care. They are comfy!

I second Old Navy (maternity and non-maternity). Gap might have a few too. I got one on clearance there for about $7. Chat Icon

Me too. There are tons of non maternity dresses out there that are flowy and empire waist and fit me great at 30 weeks.

What size do you buy? A size or two up from your pre-preg size?

yep, pretty much.

I also plan on using them all summer so I figured, a size up or two would be helpful for my c-sec recovery as well as the fact that I will still have a bump.

I found 2 really nice ones at H&M. The store the Americana Mall has a decent maternity section & their prices are great.

Re: Cute Maternity Casual Dresses?

I've tried on so many cute dresses at Destination Maternity and every single one of them made me look about 50 lbs heavier. I was so upset! I think I might just try to find regular dresses and buy a couple sizes up.
