2nd Trimester Maternity Dresses, Part 2

August 11, 2014 by Morgan

I am almost half way through this pregnancy at 18 weeks (isn’t that crazy??) and I’ve been searching out second trimester non-maternity (the flowy, casual type) summer dresses to help with this growing bump. We were in exceptionally warm summer weather this past weekend up in Sedona, Arizona with family and it was one more reminder of how valuable a great cotton, slip-on dress can be (pregnant or not).

Six more dresses that I’m eyeing right now:

2nd Trimester Summer Dresses | PepperDesignBlog.com

Easy V-Neck Knit Dress by Garnet Hill | $29 from $58
Draped Jersey Shift Dress by KAMALIKULTURE at Nordstrom | $92
Daria Tunic Dress by Soft Joie | $188
Lou & Grey Striped Chambray Dress by Loft | $69
Tiered Dress by H&M | $12 from $25
Basic Pocket Swing Dress by ASOS | $48

Test driving: I ended up ordering #1 in blue and black and LOVE how they fit (especially around the chest, which can get a little tricky with maternity). I also fell for #4 (waited for a promotional code) and really dig the chambray. Loft is surprisingly awesome right now.

Part 1 to this post, more maternity style ideas, and all of the style boards featured on this site. Happy Monday!

    That is a really terrific question. Our guestroom/my office is a tough, tough space to turn into a nursery. We are thinking of three in one room – but that’s just an idea on the table right now. So many decisions to make!

    Halfway through…yay! I don’t blame you for trying to find easy, comfortable dresses at this point. And most of these would probably transition really well into fall. It really is all about comfort, isn’t it?
