Plus Size Maternity Dresses
Shopping for plus size maternity clothing while pregnant isn’t always easy. The selection of maternity wear in sizes over 2XL tends to be minimal, especially if you’re not looking to spend a fortune on clothes you’ll only wear for a short time.
At J&L Designs Boutique, we are proud to offer a wide selection of stylish maternity dresses and gowns. We specialize in handcrafted maternity clothes suitable for all types of occasions. Of course, our maternity line isn’t just for pregnant women. Non-pregnant women can also enjoy these designer dresses.
What Sizes Do We Offer?
Pregnancy can be tough but finding plus size maternity clothes doesn’t have to be. At J&L Designs Boutique, you’ll find maternity clothes in sizes ranging from XXS to 5XL. We also make it easy to find the right size for your changing physique. Simply take a few basic measurements to determine the appropriate size.
Choosing the right size for your body size and shape will help ensure a comfortable fit that provides ample room for your lovely baby bump. Note that some of our dresses are only available in “One Size,” meaning one size fits most.
What Types of Maternity Dress Styles Do We Sell?
One of the most important decisions you’ll need to make when shopping for plus size maternity dresses is the style.

An empire waist maternity dress can help showcase your bump throughout all stages of your pregnancy. A-line, shift, and sheath dresses are also excellent maternity options.

One of the most common questions we get asked is if we offer plus size dresses for women who are not pregnant. The answer is absolutely yes! While J&L Designs primarily caters to pregnant women, we also design and create stunning dresses and gowns for non-pregnant women.
We understand that finding plus size clothing available in the latest fashions can be difficult, especially when it comes to formal wear.

Simply take a look at our extensive collection of designer gowns and dresses to find a look that reflects your personal style. There are plenty of options to choose from, many of which are available in plus sizes.
What Fit Would Look Best for My Body Type?
Body shape and size are important components in the fashion industry. Some dress designs simply look better on certain body types. It’s also important to analyze your own body and play up your best features. Here are some considerations to make when choosing a look for your particular body type:
Pear Shape
If you have a pear-shaped body, your waist is wider than your bust, you have full hips, a full rear, and narrower shoulders compared to your hips. If this is your body type, opt for pieces with plunging V necks, bell-sleeves, or scoop necks. Add plenty of layers and put embellishments in the right places, such as the neckline. For pear-shaped body types, try the Jolanta, Nevaeh, or Kanielle maternity dresses.
Apple Shape
You may have an apple-shaped body if your shoulders are broader than your hips, you don’t have a well-defined waistline, and you are not necessarily curvy in your hip area. Women with apple shaped bodies should consider V necks, flowy fabrics, and A-line silhouettes. Layers are also great, as well as strapless-style
dresses. A maternity plus size maxi dress can be super flattering. Some great dresses for apple-shaped body types are Paisley, Jessie, and Ashley.
Larger Arms
If you have larger arms, it can sometimes be tough to find dresses that fit well. It’s important to consider sleeve shape above all else. Steer clear of tight sleeves or cuffs that are not only unflattering but also uncomfortable. Consider wide straps that provide ample support or sleeves made from stretchy fabric. Three quarter sleeves that loosely wrap around the largest part of the upper arm can create the illusion of slimmer wrists. We offer several maternity gowns that are a great fit for this characteristic, including the Chloe, Xiomara, and Thea dresses.
Larger Bust
When it comes to finding maternity dresses for women with larger busts, it can be hit or miss. While some dress styles tend to look especially flattering on women with larger busts, other styles can be too constricting. If you have a large bust, consider wrap dresses, fit-and-flare dresses, belted dresses, or V neck dresses. A plus size maternity maxi dress can also be a stunning option for a larger-busted woman. Some of the best maternity dresses for larger busts include the Seraphine, Juliette, and Iona.
