This week we have a guest post from Natalie Lue from Bambino Goodies, who has sent us her round-up of the best Maternity dresses at the moment.

Don't let being pregnant hold you back in the style stakes or have you hiding out in black or plain clothing! Here are five cool dresses to have you looking hot to trot this summer, and all for under £80.

Silk Ruffle Dress by Topshop Maternity (above)

Loving this silk number in a deep purple. It's got a ruffle front which aside from taking the dress up a notch, also tones down a big bust. It also features a tie back so you can adjust comfortably through your trimesters and get the right fit. Great for a wedding or dressy event, I can imagine this looking great with a pair of Gladiator sandals.

£45



The Monaco Dress by Isabella Oliver
Going for the laid back yet effortless chic look of the Riviera, this features side pockets, optional turn up sleeves and sash that ties at the front and is made from stretch cotton shirting. Make like the model and pair with oversized shades.

Was £95 now £76 for the ink version and £57 for the white



Beaded Maxi Dress by ASOS Maternity

Black can often be boring for maternity wear but not with this fabulous strapless jersey maxi dress which features a zesty, beaded neckline and a shirred stretch back for added fit. Not one to wear though if you're very heavy around the bust! This style of dress looks great with a big chunky chain for va va voom.

£48


Floral Maxi Dress by New Look
There's a folksy vibe about this strappy maxi dress which features a pretty floral print with a shirred chest and skinny tie shoulder straps. If you're braving the festivals, this will give you a bit of laid back cool. Your wellies will be well hidden underneath too!

£30



Silk print dress by Single for Blossom Mother & Child

A super stylish collaboration with LA label Single has yielded this stunning strappy dress featuring a chocolate and orange print mixed with shades of blue. It features extra padding for the much needed support around your bust and is made from 100% silk. This is one that you could definitely wear through pregnancy and beyond.

£76.50
