Stylish and Comfortable Maternity Dresses
Chic Everyday Styles: For the most on-trend maternity dresses Australia has to offer, look to THE ICONIC’s maternity collection. Specially designed for comfortable wear during pregnancy, maternity dresses accommodate your growing baby bump in style, complementing your personal style aesthetic throughout and after pregnancy. Blending practicality with on-trend design, stylish maternity dresses can adapt anywhere, from workwear into casual looks, for everyday pregnancy style. Plain colours and classic stripes are key to maternity basics. A bodycon rib knit dress is a perennially popular style in versatile pregnancy dresses, hugging the bump in a comfortable, non-restrictive way. Generally, look towards stretch fabrics with plenty of give for the ultimate in bump-friendly fashion, along with over-bump or under-bump maternity jeans, plus maternity loungewear for relaxed wear while nesting at home.
Dressing for Every Occasion: For more formal pregnancy dresses which suit special occasions, such as maternity photoshoots, look to elegant maternity formal dresses. Floral prints, pastels, voluminous silhouettes and frill details lend themselves to the joyful spirit of maternity dressing, best paired with maternity lingerie for a streamlined fit which skims the bump comfortably. Maternity base layers are ideal as pregnancy thermals for cosy warmth in cold winter weather, while long sleeve maternity dresses can be a happy medium for fewer layers.
Maternity Dresses for Special Occasions
Elegant White Dresses: Fresh and immaculate, white maternity dresses are versatile styles to work into your pregnancy wardrobe. A white maternity dress is a neutral choice for a baby shower or gender reveal, whether in a flowy boho design, smart shirt-dress cut, simple slip or minimalist sun dress to highlight your baby bump. Design elements such as an empire waist, elasticised shirring or a tiered skirt can help offer ease of movement, while the plain white base is easily customised with your choice of accessories. For an alternative look, try maternity jumpsuits & playsuits or maternity skirts, ripe for styling with jewellery to amp up the glamour.
Formal Maternity Styles: Whether you’re attending weddings, parties or other formal events during your pregnancy, maternity formal dresses will serve you well as comfortable occasionwear with seasonal versatility. A maternity formal dress for a wedding can be just as stretchy and comfortable as the rest of your casual pregnancy wardrobe, elevated by formal trims, such as lace or sparkling embellishment, for a dress code-ready maternity wedding guest dress. Elevated off-shoulder designs suit warm-weather events, yet can also be styled with cosy maternity jumpers & cardigans as it cools down. Maternity shorts can offer additional layering comfort.
