Our Guide to Maternity Dresses
Occasion Wear for Your Growing Bump
At Hope & Ivy, we’ve been so lucky over the years to get to know our loyal, returning customers and see photos of them wearing our dresses to some of their most special occasions in life. From birthdays to weddings, summer parties and holidays, one of our favourite parts of creating outfits for the occasion wear market is that often, our designs get to bring joy to those who wear them on the best days of their lives, captured in photographs that will bring happy memories back for years to come.
For anyone expecting a baby, this time is especially exciting, as you ready yourself to open up your family to a tiny new member. It can, however, also be a time of adjustment, as you get used to your changing body and look for clothing that will not only fit your pre-pregnancy style but provide you with comfort and practicality.
That’s why we’re so proud of our maternity wrap styles here at Hope & Ivy. Our signature wrap silhouette has been a fan favourite ever since we launched as a brand 10 years ago, thanks to its semi-sheer flutter sleeves, light-weight fabric, and easily adjustable waist tie.
...and our maternity wrap dresses? Well, they also offer every single one of these benefits, with the added perk that they’re designed and fitted specifically with your bump in mind. With additional fabric added to every dress to allow for ample coverage across your body, these maternity occasion dresses are beautifully stylish, featuring a selection of our best-selling prints in stunning, eye-catching shades.
Our wrap dresses are true to size, although if you have a larger bust, we do recommend sizing up to allow for easy coverage. Thanks to their waist-tie, they can easily be loosened as your bump grows, allowing you to maximise wear throughout your pregnancy, and due to their wrap-front, they’re also perfect for post-partum occasion wear, helping you to breastfeed your baby easily while on the go.
This season, we’ve added four stunning new maternity wrap dresses to our collection, all of which showcase our beautiful prints, which are hand-painted in-house by our brilliant design team.
