When I was pregnant with my son, the number of things I actually enjoyed wearing dwindled by the day. In my third trimester, I tested the limits (and seams) of my favorite pieces. In retrospect, I should have stocked up on clothes from Universal Thread at Target, especially after seeing their new releases, which include a non-maternity maternity dress for spring — and it’s only $25.
The short-sleeve mini skater dress is made of a lightweight linen and rayon fabric, so it will keep you cool during the summer heat and grow with your body. Not to mention, the A-line cut means you have more room in the midsection and legs. It comes in six different colors and patterns, and it’s available in sizes XS to 4X … but it’s already sold out. That’s probably because of all the five-star reviews it’s received, including high marks from moms-to-be.

“This dress is so cute!” said a mother. “I’m pregnant and starting to show, but not enough that I feel confident wearing tighter, form-fitting styles. I picked it up in a size small in coral and a medium in black (my store doesn’t have a small) and They’re both amazing! The fit is so comfortable and flowy – this is the first outfit I’ve felt confident in since pre-pregnancy. The length is great for me (I’m 5’4”) and it’s a bit longer in the back. Excited I’ll be wearing them all spring and summer while my bump grows!”
“It’s beautiful,” wrote another mother. “I got this for Easter this year, I got size Medium and I’m 5’1 (weigh 180 I’m pregnant and I love it).”
Thanks to its roomy design, this dress can accommodate your bump before, during and after you welcome your baby. So, think of it as an investment for now and later. Trust me, those postpartum days will require confidence-boosting, breezy, loose-fitting items that you can dress up or down. Given the price point and low-in-stock warnings, we don’t expect this Target-exclusive item to be around for long, so be sure to grab it while you can.
