With just three months left of my pregnancy, I’m a mixed bag of emotions—excited, overwhelmed, fearful, and utterly grateful. I’m also incredibly busy—cleaning out my apartment to make room for the imminent new arrival, taking breastfeeding classes, setting up a registry, learning about baby products I never knew I needed (or knew existed, for that matter). Yet among the busyness, I can say I’m wholeheartedly excited for my upcoming baby shower—a chance to celebrate the start of a new chapter among best friends, good food, and fun games. And what is a baby shower without a beautiful baby shower dress?
There are several things to take into account when buying a dress or ensemble for your baby shower (the setting, the weather, and the type of party you’ll be having), but the most important thing is that you feel comfortable and special—after all, you are the center of attention, and everyone will be gushing over you. I’ve scoured high and low for some ultra-stylish options that I’m considering for my shower. From stretchy maxi dresses to stunning floral frocks, scroll below to see the favorites on my list.
