If you’re pregnant during the summer months, consider yourself lucky—in my opinion, it’s the easiest season to get dressed when it comes to maternity style. There are so many easygoing summer dresses out there that aren’t maternity but can easily accommodate a growing belly. Some of my personal favorite types are flowy maxi dresses (lots of options here) or beach style vacation dresses like these which tend to be loose-fitting. Take your pick and finish off the look with a straw hat and slide sandals for an effortless look that’s both chic and comfy for hot weather. I’ve found so many fantastic options lately that I decided to round them up for this post—and since they’re non-maternity, they’ll work for anyone. P.S. all of the dresses featured in this post are budget-friendly and under $100 (most are under $50!)
7 Budget & Bump-Friendly Summer Dresses
White Midi Dress (under $25) – This little white dress is great for casual summer days and would also be cute for family pictures on the beach. It has adjustable straps and a loose fit (I took my usual XS).

Crinkled Cami Dress (under $50) – This gauzy cami dress is my favorite from the entire roundup! It strikes the perfect balance between casual and elegant, and even at 39 weeks pregnant, there’s plenty of room for the belly (wearing XS). It looks great worn loose or with a belt. I love it so much I went back and ordered the dark brown color, too,

Ribbed Maxi Dress (under $15) – I don’t normally wear many bodycon dresses but like how they flatter a baby bump. This maxi dress is a total steal at under $15 (I sized up to a S). If you’re not expecting, it will have a relaxed fit.

Sleeveless Jersey Dress (under $20) – I love the ease of a T-shirt dress for summer and this one is great quality for the price point. I sized up to a S to accommodate the belly and added my own belt, but this should be loose-fitting if you aren’t pregnant.

Cami Maxi Dress (under $25) – A classic black maxi dress is always in style for summer. This one has an interesting tie back detail and comes in multiple colors if black isn’t your favorite. I sized up to a S but could have probably taken my usual XS since it’s loose-fitting.

Gingham Dress (under $80) – Is anything more summery than gingham print? This adorable frock is the perfect choice for a garden party, picnic, or baby shower. The sleeves can be worn on or off the shoulder and there’s plenty of room for a growing baby belly.
