Take it to the max! Maternity maxi dresses are also an excellent choice for a baby shower. A baby shower is a special occasion, and a floor-sweeping baby shower dress adds an extra dose of formality. Long baby shower dresses can be colorful, solid or printed, long-sleeved or short-sleeved and made out of all kinds of material. But one thing all long baby shower dresses have in common? They’re regal. Our five favorites are below.

You’ll be the belle of the ball at your baby shower in this floor-length watercolor maternity maxi dress. Séraphine’s silk stunner is made to swoosh around you when you walk. Even dreamier? There’s a discreet stretch panel in the dress to make sure you stay comfortable.

Regardless, lace baby shower dresses especially romantic, which is why they also earned a spot on our list. Scroll to see our favorite lace baby dresses!
