Maxi Dress Question

Those of you who say you plan on wearing maxi dresses all summer did you buy maternity maxis or regular maxis?
I haven't found a ton of maternity maxis, so I'm just curious. The few maxis I have wouldn't work as maternity, so I'm wondering what kind everyone is buying.

Anthropologie from before I got pregnant and I bought a Liz Lange one from target too. The Liz Lange seemed like a normal maxi to me. No extra panels or anything.
This for me too! I've never had a maxi dress because they are all too short. The maternity one I bought at Target is going to be perfect!
I hope I learn to LOVE maxis -- right now I'm kind of "Eh" about them. I'm sure in the summer I will have days I want to cover my ankles and swollen feet, so it will come in handy!

Ross is a store that sells stuff you'll find in department stores but for way less. They have basically everything you can think of other than groceries! Lots of good deals.
But don't go there unless you can handle literally digging through aisles of mismatched clothing for hours to not find a single thing, and then go back and do it again next week. Personally, I love how cheap it is obviously, but I can't handle the people, at least at the Ross's near me, the filth, and the disarray. It gives me a panic attack. They sell the clothing that department stores order too much of, or that a manufacturer can't sell any more of at department store prices, so they sell them to places like Ross for super cheap. But, in their inventory being super cheap, everything about the store is also super cheap. I honestly think they keep goodwill stores in nicer condition than they do Ross. It's a free for all in there.
Ross is like TJ Maxx and Marshall's.
I have only bought one maternity maxi from Target, and I have a few others from before. I recently lost 30 lbs, so all my "fat girl clothes" will be repurposed for maternity clothes. I got a lot of those old maxis at Old Navy.

I think and I have never been pregnant before that the ones that will work for Maternity are knits stretchy materials or woven fabrics that are cut bigger.
Keep in mind that you will need to make sure boobs have a little room to grow and if need be , you might want some little bralettes , tanks , or little bandeaus to wear beneath these dresses
1 ones with the empire seam and that have enough gathers for the belly.
2 Maxi Dresses that have empire seam w that look like peasant skirts for the bottom portion
3 maxis that have more of a handkerchief hemline because the
Panel beneath the empire seam is cut like a rectangular or large square panel.
