Must-Have Maternity Dress

So far, my maternity style has looked a lot like my normal style—sweaters, skinny jeans (albeit with elastic waistbands) and booties—with the exception of one thing: the fitted dress. Now that I’m in my third trimester, I consider this ruched dress by Ingrid and Isabel a pregnancy must-have—so much that I have it in two colors (black and grey) and just might get a third. Once you have a bump, it’s fun to wear pieces that show off your new shape—when else will you be congratulated for having a protruding midsection?—and this dress does just that.

More reasons to love this dress? The soft, stretch knit is incredibly comfortable and leaves plenty of room for a growing bump, while the side ruching is super flattering. You also can easily dress this versatile style up or down. It works just as well with booties and a jacket for daytime as it does with heels and fun accessories come date night.
