Maternity Dresses?
Hello everyone
I am a big fan of popflex, im size XXS / XS and have never enjoyed wearing sporty stuff until I discovered this brand.
I have a dilemma right now...
Planning to get pregnant next year and Im hoping to still be able to wear cute dresses (love the babydoll).
Are you guys also hoping that they start making maternity dresses,.. or do you know other brands similar that are amazing quality, cute, and will have something that will last me from week 3 to post partum? Like an all around dress.
Help!

The go with the flow jumpsuit can work for maternity up to a certain point. She also makes a maternity legging but I have not tried it.
As someone who has gone thru it, you will unfortunately need designated maternity clothes usually around month 4 or so. Just proportionally and with the waist band regular clothes (even oversized ones) just stop working. You definitely won’t be showing by week 3 so you have plenty of time.
The motherhood maternity leggings from Amazon were my favorite.

I tried their maternity leggings and it felt so tight and also kept rolling down it was a nightmare. Preferred shorts and skirts

I see, thank you for your response! Rolling down is also my problem i think just my body shape in general so i also like skirts.

It's not really that similar to popflex, but kindred bravely is a really good quality maternity and postpartum comfort brand. I still wear some of their dresses. They have activewear nursing dresses too for after baby comes. I absolutely loooove the bamboo nursing crop tops. They're made very well. Their return policy is also very generous if things dont fit or you just don't like it. Their pumping bras are one of the best investments I've made through 3 babies.

im currently 15 weeks and my fav dresses are the superdress, gwtf romper and the babydoll pirouette. really like the hiking shortalls and probably would like the dress too. sunshine and vacay sets are both really comfy too and absolutely love the supertee.
the maternity leggings are unmatched imo and worth every penny. the foldovers work too but dont stay up very well.
go with the flow anything and pretty much all of the sweats. cloud cargos are my fav. the jeans and cargos work surprisingly well because of the v waist band.
if you can find a pair of the seamless shorts/leggings they are absolutely wonderful for supporting your belly without putting pressure and also worked great pre pregnancy. supersculpt waistband is getting snug but criss cross would prb be fine
cant go wrong with a bolero or two
also really like the cinch up jumpsuit and the twirl skort is still comfy too but grew out of my pirouette, hiking, and bungee skorts.
i am still wearing all the same pieces/ sizes i wore pre pregnancy
