Summer Maternity Must-Have: The Maxi Dress (Under $50)
Summer moms-to-be love their maternity maxi dresses for a variety of reasons: A) They’re light and breeze on sticky summer days, B) They’re comfy, C) They look pretty, and D) Your growing belly won’t hike up the front of your dress, meaning you can wear the same maxi dress throughout all three trimesters.
Because the price of maternity wear can climb well over $100 for a single maternity dress, here are maternity maxi dresses for $20 – $50:
Liz Lange for Target, $32.99
Moody Mamas Maternity Nursing Maxi Dress (in grey or black), $44.99
Cocoon Maternity Ashley Maxi Dress, $36.99
Maternity Knit Maxi Dress — also in plus-size, $29.50 at Old Navy
Maternity Braided-Trim Maxi Dress, $34.50 at Old Navy
Maternity Cross-Front Jersey Maxi Dress (for a little more coverage), $20
Spaghetti Strap Beaded Detail Maternity Maxi Dress, $29.98
Loved by Heidi Klum, Plus-Size Maternity Dress, $44.98
If you’re willing to spend a little more money, find pretty printed maxi dresses at Boden Maternity (main picture, above) and A Pea in the Pod.

michellehorton commented on Mar 23 11 at 10:05 pm@Jen: I’m making a conscious effort to feature more plus sizes!
Morgan commented on Mar 24 11 at 12:33 pmIronic the cover shot is $128 for the dress…It is of course my favorite one and not under $50 :)
Emily commented on Mar 24 11 at 2:14 pmYou forgot another plus for maxi dresses: E) They hide the legs you haven’t shaved in months :) hehe

I was wondering if you would do a write up on KM Maternity, they have awesome dresses and maternity work wear!
