Holy ruching! Shopping for maternity formal wear can be downright brutal. (Unless you are Blake Lively, of course.) Generally, the pressure to find just the right outfit for a special occasion can be daunting enough, but once you find yourself in the maternity section, the options become severely limited. While we wish sweats were socially acceptable at any affair for a mama-to-be, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up the most stunning spring- and summer-appropriate maternity dresses to make your life easier.
Pro-tip: If you don’t buy the hype that most of these could be worn post-pregnancy, consider a cost-saving business like Rent the Runway or check out one of your local mom groups to score secondhand numbers.
