Maternity dresses

Our maternity dresses are designed to keep you comfortable throughout your nine-month pregnancy and to be worn after the baby is born: their double zipper opening makes it easy to breastfeed later on, without having to change your wardrobe. One dress for every stage.

Why Choose a Dress During Pregnancy?

A dress is the most comfortable garment when your belly starts to round out: no belt or tight buttons, and no need to worry about what to wear. It adapts to your changing figure month after month.

It can be worn for any occasion: at the office with a blazer, on the weekend with sneakers, or for a night out with jewelry.

What size should you choose for a maternity dress?

During pregnancy, choose a size that allows room for your growing belly—usually your usual size or one size larger, depending on the style and how far along you are. Check the product descriptions, which list the model's height and size.

Please note: The GEORGIA dress runs small; the product description recommends choosing one size smaller than your usual size (excluding maternity sizes). Returns are accepted only as refunds; exchanges are not available.

Can you breastfeed while wearing a maternity dress?

Yes, that's the whole point of this collection: each dress has two side zippers, one on each side of the chest. After the baby is born, you unzip the side where you're breastfeeding, the baby can latch on, and the dress stays in place.

During pregnancy, the zippers remain closed and hidden: the dress looks like a classic style.

How Should You Dress Depending on the Trimester?

In the first trimester, your usual clothes are often enough. Starting in the second trimester, a loose-fitting dress or a dress with spaghetti straps is comfortable to wear. In the third trimester, opt for a loose-fitting style that doesn't cling to your belly and allows your skin to breathe.

A dress made of " knit " works well for every stage, thanks to its elasticity.

How should you wear a dress during pregnancy, depending on the season?

In winter, opaque tights, ankle boots, and a long coat; in the transitional seasons, white sneakers and a cardigan; in summer, sandals and a flowing dress. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes, especially during the third trimester.

Can you wear it at the maternity ward?

Yes, a dress with zippers can be part of your hospital discharge outfit: it’s comfortable, presentable for visitors, and practical for those first feedings. To help you pack your bag, read our article on packing for the hospital in winter.

Can you wear it after breastfeeding?

Yes. With the zippers closed, it's a classic dress that you'll continue to wear long after weaning. It also makes a wonderful gift for a newborn or a baby shower.

How do you care for a maternity dress?

Wash it at 30°C on the delicate cycle, inside out with the zippers closed. Avoid the dryer, especially for the knit, and lay flat to dry. Specific instructions are listed on each product page.

How long does it take for the clothing to be shipped?
