Maternity Dresses

FAQs

What are the best maternity dresses for a baby shower?

For a baby shower, look for styles that are soft, stretchy, and bump-flattering — wrap dresses, maxi dresses, and empire waist styles are all great options. You'll be sitting for a lot of the event, so comfort matters as much as how it photographs. Bonus points if the style works postpartum too, so you get more than one wear out of it.

Can maternity dresses be worn after pregnancy?

Yes — many maternity dresses are designed with postpartum wear in mind. Wrap styles, A-line silhouettes, and nursing-friendly designs with discreet access are especially versatile. Kindred Bravely's maternity dresses are built to take you from pregnancy through the fourth trimester and beyond.

What styles of maternity dresses are most flattering during pregnancy?

Empire waist, wrap, and maxi styles tend to be the most universally flattering during pregnancy. They accommodate a growing bump without feeling restrictive, and they work across trimesters. Stretchy fabrics like jersey and modal move with your body and hold their shape well as your belly grows.

Are Kindred Bravely maternity dresses nursing-friendly?

Many of our maternity dresses are designed with nursing access in mind — look for wrap styles and designs with easy-open features that work seamlessly once baby arrives. We design with the full journey in mind, not just pregnancy.

What size should I order in maternity dresses?

We recommend ordering your pre-pregnancy size in most styles. Our maternity dresses are cut with extra room through the belly and made from stretchy, forgiving fabrics that accommodate your bump as it grows. If you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, sizing up one is a great option.
