Whether you’re all about showcasing your bump or prefer a loose and comfortable silhouette to float around in, cute maternity dresses run the gamut for all tastes and occasions. “The versatility of a dress during pregnancy cannot be overstated,” Kristen Dolzynski, senior vice president of brand creative and design at Marquee Brands, tells WWD.
