17 Best Maternity Dresses for Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pumping & Breastfeeding

The search for the best maternity dresses this festive season can feel overwhelming—especially when your pre-baby wardrobe is full of dry-clean-only party outfits and figure-hugging silhouettes that no longer suit your growing bump or postpartum body. That’s where For The Creators comes in, with maternity dress rentals designed to help you feel confident, comfortable, and stylish—without the cost or commitment of buying new. Choose from 10-day rentals or flexible monthly memberships to find the perfect fit for every occasion.

Buying a new party dress while your body (and budget) is in flux? Probably not the smartest move. Renting, however, offers the perfect solution: access to beautiful, bump-friendly, breastfeeding-ready, and postpartum-appropriate styles without the wear-once regret—or the price tag. For as little as £15 for a 10-day rental, you can explore designer options that fit your personal stage of motherhood. 

Plus, with free sizing swaps and pre-booking up to a year in advance, it’s never been easier to dress for every moment of Matrescence.

Motherhood isn’t all midis and maxis, in fact, mini dresses look adorable with or without bumps, and offer a younger and more flirty feel to any outfit.

Enjoy the chill in the air with thicker fabrics like corduroy, deeper colours like forest green and punchy prints like leopard for your winter dress. Paired with tights, knee-high boots and a wool overcoat you’ll be warm and chic. 

While you may not be able to control what having a child could do to your career (don’t get us started), you can control what you wear to work. Classic colours in sleek silhouettes read as put together and polished.

To make it a truly merry Christmas you need to be feeling your best. Thankfully, empire lines and stretchy fabrics mean you can squeeze in an extra potato or two without needing to immediately change into your festive PJs. 

Ring in 2025 looking like your most glamorous self with sequins, sequins, and more sequins (oh, and a side of luscious velvet). 

Whether you feel totally camera ready or not, it’s key to remember confidence comes from within - and a flattering, vibrant dress won’t hurt either. 

The American notion of a baby shower has, like Halloween and fast food before, made it across the pond and we couldn’t be more thrilled - not least thanks to the adorable dress code of pastels and florals that typically accompanies the invite.

For The Creators is continuously growing its collection, and brands like Rixo, Beyond Nine and Rewritten already offer fantastic casual and formal styles in extended sizes, ready to explore.

Sometimes embracing colour is what is needed, but when you’re hoping to feel elegant and sharp (no matter what mystery liquids have been spilt on you), then only wearing black will do the trick. 

The midi is beloved by mothers nationwide, and for good reason. Accommodating enough to be comfy, long enough to keep you modest (squats, lunges and all) and shapely enough to feel feminine. Midi dresses are to wardrobes what cups of tea are to any occasion: always appropriate.
