PinkBlush specializes in adorable and affordable show-stopping dresses. Most of their dresses are well under $100 and they come in a range of styles from boho to romantic to body-con and sexy.
Occasion-specific dresses are what they are known for and the brand celebrates all the milestones of motherhood with their styles. They even have a Maternity Baby Shower section for dresses specially made for the occasion.
2. For the uptown sophisticated maternity baby shower dress: Seraphine
Shipping: Free standard shipping

If it’s good enough for Kate Middleton, it’s good enough for us. While Seraphine Maternity is probably best known for the LBD worn by the Princess of Wales, it also has an entire line devoted to making you look your prettiest at your baby shower.
Many of the dresses later convert to nursing dresses, so you’ll get lots of longevity out of these lovely dresses.
3. For the casual-chic maternity baby shower dress: Hatch Maternity
Shipping: Standard shipping rate of $6
Returns: Free exchanges; $10 return shipping fee on returns for a refund
Size range: 0 to 16
Standout find: The Celeste Dress
Created for moms-to-be, by a former mom-to-be, Hatch Maternity offers understated and classy pieces that lend a breezy and effortless style. They specialize in pieces that can be worn pre- and post-bump (with many converting to nursing wear) and all the stages your bump may be at in-between.
4. For the super-stylish maternity baby shower dress: ASOS Maternity

For a fun, stylish and budget-friendly selection of maternity wear, ASOS Maternity is a favorite pick.
We love the extensive options that can be edgy or effortless and that there are always finds that are easy on the wallet. Since the retailer offers free returns you don’t have to be shy about ordering multiple sizes to get just the right fit.
5. For the elevated boho maternity baby shower dress: Ingrid & Isabel
Shipping: Standard $10 shipping
Returns: 30 days free returns
Size range: 0 to 16
Standout find: Cotton summer dress
We love the breezy, boho style of Ingrid & Isabel. This brand is far from baggy and shapeless—it’s known for its commitment to well-fitting styles that move with you.
Made from higher-quality fabrics, every product has a “fit notes.” The notes detail the fit you can expect and how the garment’s size should compare to your pre-pregnancy sizing, which makes for refreshingly stress-free shopping.
We also love how, while the pieces are generally romantic and flowy, they don’t shy away from showing a little bit of skin, keeping everything just a touch sexy.
This brand is also committed to sustainability. Most items are made in Los Angeles to workers that are paid a fair wage, and they use recycled or plant-based fibers in most products as well.
6. For the stylishly sophisticated maternity baby shower dress: Pea & Pod
Shipping: Free shipping on orders over $169
Returns: 30 days with a $12 shipping charge
Size range: XS to XL
Standout find: Pietro Brunelli Chloe dress
Pea & Pod has been around since 1982 and is the OG shop for all things maternity. There is a reason they’ve been around for so long. Not only were they one of the first places to recognize that women want to look beautiful and stylish while expecting, they carry a range of brands and styles to appeal to all types of women.
We love their designer collections and partnerships that range from romantic and flowy to slinky and sexy.
7. For an endless selection of maternity baby shower dresses: Amazon Maternity
Shipping: Free shipping and returns depending on vendor
Returns: 30 days free returns
Size range: XXS to 5X
Standout find: Arach & Cloz short-sleeved maxi
The online retailer giant sells everything, so it’s no surprise that Amazon sells maternity clothes as well. If you’ve got time to search, there are pages and pages of pretty dresses that will fit any style of baby shower. Almost all of their selection will arrive with free Amazon Prime shipping and returns, and some even qualify for their “try before you buy” program, where you can try items for seven days—commitment-free!
8. For the sustainably-stylish maternity baby shower dress: Isabella Oliver
Shipping: Free standard shipping on orders over $149, $15 for orders under $149
Returns: 21 days free returns
Size range: UK4 to UK18
Standout find: The Ivona dress
One of the most popular UK maternity brands, if you ask any British mum where her favorite clothes came from during her pregnancy, she’ll likely say Isabella Oliver.
The maternity line of the London-based fashion house Baukjen, Isabella Oliver claims that each piece is made to fit, flatter and grow as your body does. Each stylish piece is made with a focus on environmentally-, ethically- and socially-conscious style.
Sustainability is at the forefront of this brand and it’s both a B Corp and UN Global Climate Action Award Winner. This stylish brand is beloved for its responsibly sourced fabrics, as well as options to rent favorite pieces without commitment.
If you want to get even more sustainable in your shopping, they also have a pre-loved section. While it’s not extensive, you can score a deal there and 50% of all proceeds from those sales are donated to Oxfam—so you can look good while doing good.

Shipping: $4 on standard shipping or free for orders over $30

It may seem like pregnancy last forever, but considering how short it really is, no one would blame you for grabbing something affordable and stylish that will make you feel like a million bucks.
Shein is known for being size-inclusive and their maternity line is no different. Plus, if you’re on a budget, you can find something that will make you feel like the belle of your baby ball for under $50.
10. For the downright sexy maternity baby shower dress: Sexy Mama Maternity
