During pregnancy, you want something stretchy and forgiving around the belly and hips, but that still looks chic and stylish—and shows off your bump.
Then, your needs change abruptly with the birth of your baby. Suddenly, your midsection—which worked so hard to grow your new bundle of joy—isn’t the focus anymore, and instead you could use a little more flow in that area. But maternity clothes are expensive, and ones that go the distance into the fourth trimester and beyond are worth it.
The dress: Latched Mama’s Sunkissed Nursing Sundress

Latched has created a sundress that is hard to compete with.
The Sunkissed Nursing Sundress shows off a baby bump and makes pregnancy as comfortable as possible, but it’s still flattering long after giving birth.
This is the dress that does it all. It can minimize an early bump you aren’t ready to reveal yet by loosening the ties. It can show off a pronounced bump by tying them in the front or back. You can even nurse in it if you are breastfeeding.
You can blend in with a classy black option, or stand out with florals and other colors. It covers the straps of almost any bra, from crossback nursing bras to traditional bras, with two inch shoulder straps that you don’t have to mess with.
The elastic waist is comfortable on your biggest pregnancy bump, and the A-line shape gives you all the postpartum confidence you need.
Finally, you can dress it up for an event with fancier shoes, or down with flip flops for the pool or beach.
At $54, a dress that can do all this, instead of buying multiple separate dresses, is a steal.
It’s worth noting that this brand runs slightly big, so check the sizing guide.
Sunkissed Nursing Sundress
Available in several different colors and prints, the Sunkissed Nursing Sundress is breathable and makes breastfeeding easier while on-the-go.
