How We Chose the Best Sexy Maternity Dresses

We get it—the struggle to find maternity clothes that are stylish, comfortable and affordable is real. And for those moments during pregnancy where you want to feel a little sexier—whether it’s date night, a wedding or a night out on the town—the hunt can be even harder. But that’s where we come in: We’ve combed through all of our favorite online retailers of maternity clothes to find and select the very best sexy maternity dresses.

We narrowed down the options by considering several factors, including material, size range, price, quality and, of course, style. We also tapped into our knowledge of leading maternity brands to make sure the dresses are from reliable manufacturers, and when possible, we read user reviews to get the low-down on how these dresses worked for pregnant women. This way you can count on finding a sexy maternity dress you love, without breaking the bank (or having to send back multiple returns).
