    Why should you buy a linen maternity dress? 

    Linen maternity dresses are smooth, elegant, and breathable, perfect for the pregnant or nursing mother. 

    But there’s more: 

    • Maternity dresses can be worn even after the baby arrives, helping ease you back into ordinary life. 

    • Maternity dresses can help you feel confident, with flattering silhouettes and flowing fabrics. 

    • Linen is anti-bacterial and antiallergenic, so it’s much safer to wear around newborns and young children. 

    • Linen is a breathable fabric that wicks away moisture, helping you stay dry and cool even through pregnancy sweats and flushes. 

    How do you keep a linen maternity dress clean? 

    Some linen maternity dresses should be hand-washed, as they have embroidered details or hidden elements designed to make pregnancy and nursing easier. But most can be machine-washed to save you time. 

    Here are a few other tips for keeping your linen maternity dress clean: 

    • Wash linen maternity dresses in cold water or on the gentle wash cycle in your machine. 

    • Use a mild detergent and avoid harsh chemicals like bleach. 

    • Iron your dress when it’s damp to prevent heat damage, 

    • Always air-dry your dress. 

    • Store unused linen maternity dresses flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. 

    Frequently Asked Questions 

    Producing linen from high-quality, sustainable flax is a labor-intensive process that requires skill and dedication. Additional details, like hidden zips or buttons, can contribute to a design's complexity. The thread count, weave type, color, and style also influence the cost of a linen maternity dress.

    Absolutely! You can wear a linen maternity dress throughout the year, though you may need to wear additional layers in colder climates or switch to twill linen dresses. Pair your dress with a scarf, undershirt, or underskirt to keep yourself comfortable and warm during the colder months.

    Linen is an ideal material for maternity dresses because it’s made with hollow flax fibers. This makes it breathable and easy to move in, even for women whose bodies are changing and recovering from birth. Linen is also antibacterial, so it’s much safer for newborns who haven’t developed a complete immune system yet.

    Always account for minor changes when purchasing a new linen maternity dress, as your body will change over the course of the pregnancy and during your recovery.

    Linen maternity dresses wrinkle easily and can be harder to clean, as harsh chemicals like bleach are not recommended for removing stains. They are hypoallergenic and often softer than synthetic materials, so they’re more comfortable for you and less likely to irritate your newborn’s skin.

    Pair a neutral or dark-toned linen maternity dress with a chic bag or some formal statement jewellery. You can also include a draping shawl or scarf for events in colder environments.
