When I was pregnant, I couldn’t rationalize spending money on maternity clothes that I’d only wear for a few months. In hindsight, I should have looked more closely at Isabel Maternity, a collaboration between Target and Ingrid & Isabel that has all the comfort and luxury of Ingrid & Isabel maternity clothes for a fraction of the cost. In fact, many of the Isabel Maternity items can be worn long after your bump is gone. Case in point: the Isabel Maternity Sleeveless Midi Active Dress, which is currently 20% off.  

Though it was only recently released, Isabel Maternity’s new dress has garnered quite a few fans. Despite the name, moms-to-be say the dress isn’t the best outfit for a serious workout. Rather, it’s a comfortable maternity dress that can be worn to a wide range of events. One even shared that she wore it to a baby shower. Moms-to-be rave about the soft jersey fabric that easily stretches without stretching out, so you can wear it during pregnancy and postpartum. It also has built-in shorts so you don’t want to worry about annoying chaffing or your underwear showing.

“I'm 5'2, 140lbs and 17 weeks and I bought both of these in a small!” What to Expect community member goldemama44 shared in a thread, referencing the dress and the brand’s Active Mini Maternity Skort. “I love both!!! They are soooo soft!! And easy to dress up or down. I wore the dress with a jean jacket, gold jewelry and sandals to a baby shower Sunday…They both have built in shorts but the material is thin so I think they will feel okay in the heat.”

The dress is available in two colors — black and blue — and sizes XS to XXL. And though it's just arrived in stores, it’s already starting to sell out in some sizes. And since it’s currently 20% off, you know it’s going to go fast. So your best bet is to add it to your virtual red cart ASAP to ensure you have the perfect summer maternity (or postpartum) dress.
