If there’s one thing Alex Drummond has mastered over the years, it’s effortless style—and, of course, she’s bringing that same approach to her second pregnancy.
Honestly, her strategy might be the smartest maternity dressing hack yet. Instead of stocking up on traditional maternity clothes, she recently revealed that she plans to lean on breezy dresses all summer long… and she already has a favorite.
During a recent Instagram Q&A, Alex responded to a follower who asked about her pregnancy wardrobe staples this time around. Her answer? One easy, comfy dress she plans to practically live in while her bump grows. She says the Ellie Nap Dress from Hill House Home is the "perfect summer bump dress!"
"My goal for this pregnancy is to not buy any maternity clothes!!" Alex wrote in her story. "It'll be summer when I’m biggest so I'm just going to LIVE in dresses!" And that sounds like a pretty great plan.
Hill House Home is beloved for its famously comfortable dresses that look polished but feel almost like pajamas. Alex’s favorite has fluttery ruffle sleeves and a tiered skirt for a sweet, floaty, easygoing feel that’s perfect for warm weather days.
But the real magic is in the bodice. The Ellie Nap Dress has a stretchy smocked top that comfortably expands, making it a favorite among pregnant shoppers. That flexible fit means it can grow along with a baby bump while still looking flattering, which explains why Alex says it’s already a go-to piece in her closet.
If the silhouette looks familiar, that's because Alex has worn these dresses before—often for special occasions or even matching moments with her daughter. Between the stretchy smocking, breezy silhouette, and charming floral print, it checks every box for pregnancy style: comfortable, versatile, and effortlessly pretty.
And judging by that, she might just buy a few more before summer arrives!
