Maternity Dresses Australia - Stylish Bump-Friendly Dresses for Every Occasion

A well-chosen maternity dress can carry you from a casual day at home to a dinner out or a special occasion without compromising on comfort or style. The right dress accommodates your growing bump while still making you feel like yourself - which matters more than ever during pregnancy. At Peekaboo Baby we stock a range of maternity dresses in Australia designed to flatter at every stage, from the early pregnancy days when you just need a little more room to the third trimester when comfort is everything. Combine with our maternity pants and nursing tops for a complete maternity wardrobe.

Our maternity dress range spans casual jersey wraps, flowy boho styles, and smarter occasionwear, so there is an option for every lifestyle and occasion. Many of our dresses are also nursing-friendly, with discreet feeding access built in so you continue wearing them throughout the breastfeeding period. This makes them exceptional value across the full pre and postpartum journey. Explore our full maternity clothing and nursing dresses collections, and browse our nursing bras for supportive undergarments to pair with your maternity wardrobe.

What to look for in maternity dresses

  • Bump-friendly cut - Empire waist, wrap, or A-line cuts accommodate the bump without pulling across the middle. Avoid styles that fit tightly across the belly early on, as they will become uncomfortable quickly.
  • Stretchy, comfortable fabric - Jersey knit, bamboo, and modal blends stretch with your bump and return to shape, keeping you comfortable throughout the day.
  • Nursing access - Wrap fronts and crossover styles offer easy feeding access postpartum, extending the life of the dress well beyond pregnancy.
  • Occasion suitability - Have a clear sense of where you will wear the dress. Casual day dresses in jersey are versatile; more structured styles work for events and occasions.
  • Length and coverage - Knee-length and midi styles tend to be the most versatile. Consider weather and occasions when choosing length.
  • Washability - Machine-washable fabrics are essential - you need low-maintenance options during pregnancy and the newborn period.
