Amazon's Baby Shower Dresses Are Actually So Cute

Pregnancy can be challenging, but there's one day during those nine months you shouldn't have to stress about: your baby shower. Whether your friends and family are hosting a big event or you're gathering with loved ones for a more intimate get-together, I'm of the mindset that the only task on your plate should be choosing a dress you'll actually want to wear.
Enter: Amazon, which has a surprisingly robust offering of maternity clothes — plus speedy shipping with a Prime membership (in case you need a last-minute outfit change!). From mat-specific dresses to stretchy styles you'll be able to wear postpartum, these picks fit every theme, dress code, and season. There's plenty of smocking and flowy silhouettes to accommodate growing bumps, as well as a requisite pastel pick (or two). You might not even miss your maternity leggings at all.
Maternity Nursing Dress
Our idea of the perfect winter baby shower dress definitely includes a soft knit in the prettiest shade of pastel pink. This one has a faux-wrap neckline that'll stay put throughout the party.
Floral Maternity Dress
Floral dresses and baby showers just seem to go together seamlessly; this v-neck style, which hits right above floor length, is no exception.
Classic Cotton Dress
The beauty of this airy dress is that the sleeves can be worn pulled up for a square neckline, or off-the-shoulder for an entirely different look.
Knit Maternity Dress
Accentuate your bump with a fuzzy waist tie. This dress is made from a blend of soft fabrics the brand says is designed to feel like cashmere — and reviewers agree, also giving it props for its toasty feel.
Swiss Dot Short Dress
This spotted mini comes in 16 colors and two neckline styles, so you can choose the one that closest fits your personal aesthetic.
Ruffle Tiered Maxi Dress
Between the roomy silhouette and seriously soft polyester fabric, this long-sleeve option is as close to loungewear as you'll find in a dress. Throw on some low block heels to make it fancier.
Floral Dress
This flared dress is on the lightweight side, making it ideal for spring or summer showers. One major plus: According to reviewers, it has just the right amount of stretch.
Long-Sleeved Dress
There are few discoveries more exciting than unearthing the fact that your dress has pockets. That's only one thing that makes this olive dress a smart buy; another is the fact that it's fully lined, so you won't have to wear a slip underneath.
Ruffled Mini Dress
This best-seller has 7,500 reviews, and between the elegant A-line silhouette and easy-to-style design, we can see why. It's not strictly a maternity dress, but a couple of customers report wearing it during their pregnancy and loving the fairytale look it creates.
Floral Bodycon Dress
Make a splash in a mermaid dress; the smocked bodice makes it comfortable enough to throw on during your entire pregnancy.
Bodycon Sweater Dress
If sleek simplicity is what you're looking for, you can't go wrong with this baby pink number. The pull-on style is machine-washable and super low-maintenance.
Lace Trim Maxi Dress
Yes, this is yet another smocked dress (what can we say? We're suckers for the stretchy style) but this one's charm is all in the details — specifically, a lace cut-out border by the hem.
Sweater Dress
Not only does this stretchy knit come in 13 different colors, but it's also versatile to wear year-round — just substitute knee-high boots and tights for slip-on mules in the warmer months.
Floral Skater Dress
With greens and burnt oranges in the mix, this flouncy lavender dress offers up a less-saccharine take on the expected pastels—though between the tiered skirt and all the ruffles, it's still plenty sweet.
Sleeveless Midi
If it's too chilly to go sleeveless where you live, throw on a fun jacket to make this stretchy bodycon weather-appropriate.
Floral Dress
While not specifically a maternity gown per se, this floor-length frock is bump-friendly and makes a statement if you've got a formal fête in the books. You'll get mileage out of it as a wedding guest dress post-baby, too.
Maxi Maternity Dress
Lightweight white cotton and micro-florals make for the ultimate breezy combo. The machine-washable dress has a neckline you can tie or leave open.
Sweater Dress
Batwing sleeves and a just-off-the-shoulder neckline combine for an effortlessly elegant midi you can wear with knee-high boots in the winter.
Velvet Wrap Dress
Nothing says luxe like velvet, and this glossy orange pick has a secret advantage: The wrap style is conducive to nursing for postpartum wear.
Knit Sweater Dress
This knee-length dress is all about high contrast and comes in 12 other punchy combinations, from electric blue to bubblegum pink.
