Friday fantasy fashion item: Penelope maxi maternity dress from Vanessa Knox

It's finally Friday and that means one thing - it's time for our fantasy fashion series.

Today we're lusting over this gorge green maternity maxi dress by Vanessa Knox, which we think is versatile enough for any occasion.

Dress it down with a pair of sandals for a daytime look or BBQ or team up with heels and chunky jewellery to show off your bump and fashion sense at a wedding or summer party.

We think its worth every penny of its £135 price tag and it also comes in black and grey too. 

Top five summer maternity maxi skirts

It's finally safe to say summer has arrived and we've been basking in the warm sunshine.
If you think it's still a little bit too early to get those pins out completely, you don't have to miss out on showing off this season's hottest trends.

A lightweight maxi skirt is perfect for filling the gap between cooler spring and sweltering summer day.

And there's some great options to choose from. Play it safe and go for a black or white number, or be daring and channel one of this season's hottest hues.

Team up with a cute maternity t-shirt for a cooler daytime look, or add a maternity vest and accessorise with a silk scarf or chunky necklace for when those temperatures rise.

Opting for this staple maternity piece in a sheer fabric makes it a great option for a night out. Just team up with a pair of sandals or wedges.
