These 12 Maternity Holiday Dresses Make Getting Off The Couch Worth It

Make a bright entrance in red lace. This dress is made of 10% spandex which helps it stretch to accomodate your belly. You can also cross that trip to the dry cleaner off your to-do list, because this dress is machine washable (just lay flat to dry).

This feels like a sweatsuit and looks like a dress, what more could you want? The long sleeves make it a great option for chilly days, plus the top pulls up so it can double as a nursing dress once your baby arrives. It's made of a soft, sweatery viscose blend that you'll want to wear even when you're just hanging at home.

This dress is perfect for any weddings that fall around the holidays or fancy New Year's Eve bashes. It's double-lined so you don't have to worry about the chiffon being sheer and it's also available in a gorgeous winter white.

Who says florals have to be confined to the warmer months? The ruffled hem gives this dress a festive touch, and because the colors and the print don't scream "holiday" you can wear this dress year-round. The wrap style will help your accommodate your bump as it grows.

This jewel-toned velvet dress is a showstopper. The ruched wrap front is designed to fit you from "bump to baby," as the Asos website says. An asymmetrical hem keeps the look unexpected and interesting while the long sleeves keep you warm.

The delicate starry print adds a feminine twist to a classic silhouette. The sleeves are sheer and airy. Best of all, after the baby is born this dress works for nursing; there's a zipper in the chest concealed completely by the ruffle detail. The brand suggests ordering your pre-pregnancy size for the best fit.

This effortless throw-on-and-go dress will be a savior for getting out the door quickly. The comfy blend of rayon and viscose feels great, plus there are pockets (which I'm sure you'll be telling everyone because that's what happens when a dress has pockets). Note that Hatch's sizing works a little differently than other brands, but you can check out their size chart for more guidance.

Does it get more glam than floor-length sequins? I think not. This sparkly gown will have all eyes on you (and your babe).

You can wear this dress to a more casual winter event or dress it up with a leather jacket and a pair of heels (if your feet can handle that). The fabric is just as soft as it looks, and the tie around the waist comes off for a much needed breather after dinner.

This classic shape gets a fun detail with gathered sleeves and a split at the side hem for easy moving. In addition to black it comes in gray, olive green, and a gorgeous cranberry red. And you really can't beat that price.

The only thing I love more than a polka dot print is a dress with a racerback because you can easily wear your comfiest sports bra underneath and no one will know. The ruffle hem adds a fun focal point, plus the faux wrap skirt will assure that everything stays closed up. Bloomingdale's is offering free holiday shipping through Dec. 21.

This beautiful berry-toned dress will show off your bump and your shoulders. It's made of rayon and spandex so it will really stretch with you, plus it's machine washable, so you can throw it in the washer once the party is over.
