The Most Comfortable Maternity Dresses You'll Be Reaching For All Summer

When you’re expecting, the atmosphere is a flurry of different emotions. On one hand, you’re feeling like your most militant, Type-A self, organizing and planning for every single thing that could or could not happen in those first few weeks with a newborn. On the other hand, you’re feeling exhausted and unprepared for situations big and small. Some days, you’re feeling all of the above at the same time.

We’d go out on a limb to say that fashion probably doesn’t rank high on your list of priorities, unless it’s a maternity bra. Or perhaps it does, but you put off finding a maternity swimsuit or baby bump-friendly shorts because other things tend to take precedent. The state of maternity clothing doesn’t necessarily make this easier. Sure, there are brands that don’t throw style completely out the window when creating pieces for people with growing bellies. However, discovering those gems can sometimes feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially if you want something you can throw on without risking physical injury, like a maternity t-shirt dress.

Luckily for you, we’ve already done some digging to find the best maternity t-shirt dresses for every type of parent and occasion. While the t-shirt often conjures images of loose, flowing fabric, there are also fitted maternity t-shirt dresses that will emphasize your sexy, strong silhouette when you’re in the mood to put your belly on full display. This best-of list covers the gamut of maternity t-shirt dresses, so you’re bound to discover more than one thing to put in your closet.

How We Found The Best Maternity T-Shirt Dresses

As always, we couldn’t have done it without the help of our unbiased and super smart algorithm. This proprietary tool identified the best maternity t-shirt dresses by analyzing a spectrum of data, including dress reviews, expert recommendations, and social media word-of-mouth. Save yourself time, put your feet up, and find your next baby-friendly frock below.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: The simplicity of this dress is its strong point. Available in black or gray and fitted without feeling constricting, the cotton-blend fabric stretches while also retaining its shape through multiple washes. The chest pocket is also a nice touch, in case you need a place for that random cash or card.

STYLE TIP: Because this dress is minimally designed, you can wear it with virtually anything in your closet, though we think layering with a denim jacket would look best.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Bodycon dresses aren’t just for club-goers and college kids. Old Navy’s maternity take on the fashion staple has short, ruched seams along the waistline to create a bodycon silhouette that also leaves room for movement and overall comfort.

STYLE TIP: It’s giving courtside fashion or Saturday brunch for us, so pair it with low-top sneakers and a baseball cap.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: For those days when you just can’t, throw on this lightweight scoop neck frock that’s essentially a formal version of your go-to pajama t-shirt. The fabric is a soft organic cotton made without toxic chemicals and less water than the average clothing factory.

STYLE TIP: This easygoing t-shirt dress doesn’t need accessories, but if you must, keep the comfy aesthetic intact with a flowy sweater if it’s chilly.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: This smartly designed t-shirt dress will hug you in all the right places, thanks to the side ruching and a hem that resembles the classic wrap dress. It lands a couple of inches above the knees and runs small, making this a piece you’ll grab when you want to show off and celebrate your body.

STYLE TIP: Dress this t-shirt dress up by adding some bangles, a necklace that lands above the scoop neckline, and a pair of eye-catching yet comfortable shoes.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: This maternity clothing brand’s profile went full-on A-list when it was revealed that Meghan Markle wore this dress during her pregnancies. The cotton viscose knit material is what gives it that perfect combo of fitted and relaxed, while the matching rib detail on the neckline and arm sleeves make it suitable for formal occasions.

STYLE TIP: If there is ever a reason to put on your strappy heels, this is it.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: This retro stripe dress is the remedy for a closet in need of bold colors and patterns. Because of the spandex in the blended fabric, you can rock it at every stage of pregnancy and continue to wear it during postpartum, too.

STYLE TIP: Layer with a button-up or cropped jacket for a cute and casual finish.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Here’s a budget-friendly striped t-shirt dress that can be dressed up or down. This, however, has a more relaxed fit since the material is mostly cotton, and the side shirring accommodates a growing belly at every stage.

STYLE TIP: It’s also available in floral patterns and plain colors, so you can wear it alone or layer it with something else depending on your final choice.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: The more pockets, the better, right? Not only does this maternity t-shirt dress have three pockets, but it’s also made with an environmentally conscious jersey fabric that you’ll want to sleep in, and is designed to wear before, during, and after pregnancy.

REVIEWER STYLE TIP: This is soo comfy. I'll be giving birth in mid June and need some cooler summer pieces, but it's still chilly in the midwest then, so I'll be refraining from full on summery pieces. I love the versatility of this dress. You can warm it up with leggings and a duster or swap the leggings for tights and boots to dress up the look. Alone, this dress is extremely comfortable loungewear with no restrictions. I'm ordering a few more after my first.”

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: It’s the longer short sleeves for us. This maternity t-shirt dress gives off formal, office-friendly vibes with its ruched side hems, modest knee length, and slightly relaxed fit. Plus, the jersey knit material is easily washable.

STYLE TIP: The scoop neck leaves plenty of room for a necklace, and you can layer it with a blazer. A pair of heels will also add height to your frame if you feel the knee-length hem takes too much of it away.

About Our Scoring System

In order for any product to be featured on Rank & Style, it must first meet the requirements set by our algorithm—a vetting process that allocates points based on consumer and industry data to score and rank products within a given category.

WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT: Unlike the maternity clothes that get banished to storage months after you’ve given birth, this maternity t-shirt dress looks just as good without a growing belly underneath. The modal spandex jersey fabric is incredibly resilient, maintaining its soft and durable strength no matter how many times you wear it. The straight cut also gives you room to move yet hugs you in all the right places.

WHAT REVIEWERS SAY: “Very happy I came across this dress! I was looking for a versatile t-shirt dress that I can wear throughout my pregnancy with a sweater or blazer thrown over. This dress is perfect! The fabric is really thick and stretchy, so it's very flattering and smooths out any bumps or lumps (which, trust me, definitely arise during pregnancy). I also appreciate that this dress is not too short.”
