From picking a stroller to decorating the nursery, your time is occupied as a mama-to-be, so this no-fuss, super put-together dress can transition from workwear to after-work drinks. Mostly cotton, this deceiving dress is stretchy and comfy but looks smart and structured, partially because of its white mock shirt collar and mock sleeves.
