Learn how to style the Lola Smocked Maternity & Nursing Midi Dress for weddings and baby showers, with practical tips on accessories, layers, and nursing access.
Start with a dress that works for both events
The Lola Smocked Maternity & Nursing Midi Dress in Yellow Floral is a strong base for weddings and baby showers because it combines a stretchy smocked bodice with hidden nursing access. The breathable cotton and full A-line skirt keep you comfortable through pregnancy and postpartum, while the discreet design means you can wear it long after nursing ends. With sizes S, M, and XL available, check the size chart to find your best fit.

Style it for a wedding guest look
Weddings call for a polished but comfortable outfit. The Lola dress’s floral print and midi length work well for semi-formal and casual weddings alike.
- Choose accessories that complement the yellow floral: Pair with neutral or metallic jewelry—like simple gold studs or a delicate necklace—to let the print stand out. A woven clutch or small crossbody bag in a solid color keeps the look cohesive.
- Add layers for warmth or coverage: A lightweight cardigan or shawl in a solid neutral (beige, navy, or white) can dress the outfit up and provide extra coverage for nursing if you prefer. Avoid bulky layers that interfere with the smocked bodice.
- Pick shoes that balance comfort and style: Block heels, wedges, or dressy flats work well with the midi length. Since the skirt is A-line and has pockets, you can move freely without feeling restricted.
- Plan your nursing access: Practice lifting the smocking and pulling aside the inner layer at home before the event. A nursing cover or scarf can offer additional privacy if you feel more comfortable, though the design is already discreet.
Style it for a baby shower
Baby showers are often more relaxed, but you still want to feel put-together. The Lola dress fits the bill with its comfortable fabric and flattering silhouette.
- Keep accessories playful and light: Try a simple pendant necklace, small hoop earrings, and a stack of bracelets. A crossbody bag or a small tote in a complementary color is practical for carrying gifts or essentials.
- Layer with a denim jacket or cardigan: For an indoor shower, a denim jacket adds a casual touch and extra warmth. Choose a style that doesn’t compress the smocked bodice too much.
- Choose comfortable footwear: Sandals, flats, or low wedges keep you comfortable if you’ll be standing or playing games. The midi length pairs well with ankle straps or slip-ons.
- Use the pockets: The side pockets are perfect for holding a phone, tissues, or a small snack—handy when you’re mingling and may not want to carry a bag.
Accessories that work for both occasions
A few versatile accessories can transition the dress from wedding to shower without a full outfit change.
- Neutral clutch or crossbody: A bag in tan, black, or metallic complements the yellow floral and works for both events.
- Delicate jewelry: Simple earrings and a thin necklace add polish without competing with the print.
- Lightweight wrap or cardigan: A solid-colored layer provides warmth and coverage, and can be removed if the venue is warm.
- Comfortable heels or flats: Choose a shoe you can wear for hours; block heels or supportive flats are practical choices.
Nursing access without the fuss
The Lola dress is designed for easy nursing: lift the smocked bodice and pull aside the inner layer to feed or pump. The stretchy fabric and elastic waistline make it simple to adjust. Because the design is discreet, you can nurse in public without feeling exposed. The dress is also fully lined, so you don’t need to worry about transparency. After nursing, the smocking returns to its shape, keeping the dress looking neat.
