Sundresses for pregnancy and nursing: linen, denim, jersey
A sundress as everyday wear
A sundress is one of the most comfortable things for an expecting mum: you pull it on over the head, the straps adjust, and the cut is loose from the bust. In summer it is linen or cotton, for cooler months denim or jersey with a shirt or a polo neck underneath. A sundress with nursing access stays relevant after birth too.
On BlaBlaPrice you don't need to browse shop windows by hand: you write a request, and sellers reply in the chat with the price, sizes and delivery. It is free for the buyer, and contacts are hidden.
What to put in your request
- style — dungaree dress, A-line, wrap, trapeze, jersey;
- for nursing — wrap, zips, buttons at the chest;
- season — summer, for cooler months, winter in denim or corduroy;
- size — your usual pre-pregnancy size and height;
- stage of pregnancy — trimester or week;
- fabric — linen, cotton, denim, rayon;
- colour, condition and budget.
Example: “I need a new olive linen sundress for pregnancy, loose cut, size S, 2nd trimester, with nursing access. Islamabad, budget up to Rs 5,000 courier delivery.”
What matters in the cut
Straps should be wide and adjustable: thin ones dig into the shoulders when the bust grows. The length should be midi or maxi, because a mini rides up at the front as the bump grows. Side pockets help every day. For nursing choose a wrap at the chest, a zip or buttons you can undo with one hand.
Linen is lovely for summer but creases, so ask about a viscose or cotton blend. A denim dungaree dress is handy for cooler months because it goes with different jumpers, and it is easy to add a top underneath.
Before buying, measure your length from the shoulder to the hem you want and compare it with the garment measurements. Colour matters too: olive and khaki are practical, and light linen gets dirty fast. If you need the sundress for the cooler months, check at once that the fabric is not see-through and that it works over a jumper.
How to compare offers
Compare the composition, the length in centimetres and whether the straps adjust. Ask whether a light linen has a lining, and whether you can exchange it. BlaBlaPrice shows the best-value offer first, with seller reviews next to each.
Sellers can see where they stand among the others, so they may lower the price or ship faster. More about the service is on the “How it works” page.
Under a sundress, T-shirts and vests and tights work well. For another option, see dresses or jumpsuits. Everything is in “Maternity wear”.
