Valentine’s Day isn’t necessarily an excuse to shop, but it also kind of is, especially for pregnant women. Expecting moms might find that their go-to date night dress no longer fits, providing the perfect opportunity to shop cute maternity dresses for Valentine’s Day. Sure, you might not be celebrating in your usual way (no wine, for one), but that doesn’t mean you can’t get dressed up and feel glam for whatever you have planned.
The good news is that finding a great maternity dress — one that shows off your pregnancy and suits your style — isn’t as difficult as it once was. Retailers such as ASOS and Nordstrom, as well as beloved maternity brands like Hatch and Seraphine have plenty of comfy-cute option options available to shop at a reasonable price.
No matter your aesthetic, level of date night formality, or tolerance of anything but soft, stretchy fabrics, we’ve got your Valentine’s Day outfit covered. Ahead, we’re rounding up a variety of dresses that will work for every expecting mom, whether you’re aiming for a look that feels red carpet ready or something that feels fancy yet cozy for dinner at home.

Size Range: XS – XXLColors Available: 3
Let’s start with something that feels especially seasonal. This red dress from Target will put you in that Valentine’s Day spirit, and since the design is simple enough, you can dress it up with accesories and a fun pair of shoes (we love a fancy flat).

Size Range: XS – XLColors Available: 3
If fussing with straps and elaborate details sounds like your version of a nightmare, stick with a simple sweater dress. This ribbed option from Ripe Maternity will work as your Valentine’s Day outfit, but is also versatile enough to wear afterward, too. Plus, it comes with a built-in flap for easy nursing after the baby is born.
Hatch The Lurex Eliza Maternity Dress

Size Range: XS – XLColors Available: 1
Leave it to maternity brand Hatch to nail that happy medium between statement-making and comfortable. This short-sleeved design is perfectly stretchy and made to be pulled on, no zippering or buttoning required. However, the shiny metallic material makes it clear it’s not meant to be casual, making it the ideal option for date night.

Size Range: 0 – 16Colors Available: 1
If you’re thinking pink this Valentine’s Day, it’s time to hit up ASOS. This belted dress from the store’s own collection is currently on sale, and considering the same shade is still a major fashion trend for 2024, you won’t want to miss out.
Angel Maternity Pipe Detail Long Sleeve Cotton Blend Maternity Dress

Size Range: XS – 3XLColors Available: 1
A black dress is classic, timeless, flattering, and versatile. There are dozens of ways you could wear this piece, which includes a hint of white piping for added interest. Our suggestion for how to finish off the look? Long, shiny black boots or a casual pair of white sneakers, which might make this dress feel less formal but will definitely up the comfort factor.
Old Navy Maternity Long Sleeve Bodycon Maxi Dress

Size Range: XS – XXLColors Available: 2
Part of us would love to wear a slinky, sexy maternity dress for Valentine’s Day, but at the same time, we’ve got to be practical. The holiday falls in February, which might mean snow, and in that case, we’ll be grateful for this knit maxi from Old Navy, which includes long sleeves and hits at the ankle for extra warmth.
Nom Maternity Hudson Ribbed Maternity Sweater Dress

Size Range: XS – XLColors Available: 1
Maybe you’re staying home and cooking, or even ordering takeout from your favorite restaurant (or, uh, fast food place). If you still want to look nice while also feeling cozy enough for cuddling on the couch, try a ribbed sweater dress from Nom. The taupe colorway is very quiet luxury, and if you end up slipping on leggings underneath? So be it.
Hill House Home The Ellie Nap Dress
Size Range: XXXS – XXLColors Available: 21
By now you know that not every piece of clothing you wear needs to be labeled “maternity.” Hill House Home’s Nap Dress is stretchy enough to fit your growing belly, and when your new baby arrives, you’ll be grateful to have something easy, comfy, and cute to slip on as you welcome visitors.
Emilia George Sophie Long-Sleeve Maternity Midi-Dress
Courtesy of Saks Fifth Avenue
Just because it’s Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean you have to wear pink. If blue is more your vibe, this puff-sleeve dress from Emilia George is super sweet and ties into a bow in the back — another detail you’re bound to spot everywhere this year. Wear it on the 14th and then again for pregnancy photos or even your baby shower.
Mamalicious Maternity Ribbed Jersey Midi Dress in Stripe

Size Range: XS – 2XLColors Available: 1
If you’re into fashion, you know that half the draw is having fun with your clothes. This striped midi dress gives us ’70s vibes, which makes us want to rock it suede boots and big sunglasses. Then again, we love the thought of toughening it up with chunky combat boots, too (we’re partial to these Prada lookalikes). The options are endless and Valentine’s Day is the perfect excuse to play around.
Quince Washable Stretch Silk Maternity Slip Dress

Size Range: XS – XLColors Available: 4
Is it something you wear out or something you wear around the house? The best pieces work well for both, which is why this stretchy Quince dress is being added to cart, ASAP.
