We love that Sand Dollar is always thought of as the go-to destination for your resort wear, but did you know we also have gorgeous outfits that are suitable for occasions like weddings and baby showers, too?
We have plenty of options to make you feel confident and stylish - read on for our ultimate style guide on what to wear to a baby shower, whether you are a guest or the guest of honour!
For the Mama-to-Be – Radiant, Comfortable and Camera-Ready
As the guest of honour, all eyes (and lenses) will be on you and your bump, so the key thing to remember when choosing your outfit is comfort. At Sand Dollar Dubai, we have a wide range of bump-friendly dresses: they are great maternity dresses for when you’re pregnant, and can also be worn after you’ve given birth!
Top Tips to Take into Account
- Venue: Is it outdoors or indoors? Will you need a light wrap to keep the chill of air conditioning or cool air of sunset at bay? Is it a hotel, a restaurant, or a garden party? All of this information will help you make an informed decision.
- Colour: Fabric This is also part of being comfortable - think cotton, flowy fabrics and light, airy material in light pastel or floral colours. It’s also fun to have a theme incorporated here: pink for a girl, blue for a boy, yellow for fun, or any theme you fancy!
- Details That Dazzle: Look for outfits that have embellishments or flecks of sparkle, or accessorise with statement jewellery.
For the Guests – Stylish & Shower-Ready
Baby showers call for a polished and joyful outfit. Think ‘garden party’ meets ‘brunch’:
- Daytime Sophistication: Stick to lighter fabrics and daytime-appropriate silhouettes. Avoid overly formal eveningwear and anything too casual.
- Respect the Theme: If the shower has a theme, be sure to incorporate this into your outfit and be mindful not to steal the show - the only centre of attention should be the mama-to-be.
- Accessories Make the Outfit: A cute bag, some dainty jewellery, and a light scarf or hat (depending on the venue) can really elevate your outfit.

A baby shower is all about celebrating joy, new beginnings and the journey into motherhood. Whether you are the mama-to-be or a guest, dressing the part all adds to the experience.
