  • Jason Wu

    Jason Wu Floral Print Pleated Midi Dress

    $1,795

    Stretchy material and pleats give this A-line dress a comfortable fit. The dramatic flash of print elevates it, and makes it a standout that you could easily take from day to night. Midi length on a model; it may hit closer to ankle length on more petite women, and that looks great too. Sizes 0 to 14. Buy from Bergdorf Goodman.

  • Jason Wu

    Jason Wu Chiffon Ruffle Sleeve Dress

    $1,795

    Plum is a great color for a wedding. It conveys opulence, yet blends in well with pinks, blues, and other wedding party colors. We adore the ruffled sleeve on this lovely day dress. Likely to hit best on smaller chested ladies, but worth a shot. Sizes 0 to 14. Buy from Bergdorf Goodman.

  • Dries Van Noten

    Dries Van Noten Floral Midi Dress

    $1,140

     A great dress for work events that could easily swing more dressy. Just swap the boots for heels. The cinched waist makes it a flattering choice for those with curves and we sure do love a keyhole skin peek. Plus: pockets! Green and gold are so sharp together—from summer right into fall. Sizes 2 to 10. Buy from Bergdorf Goodman.

  • Cynthia Rowley

    Cynthia Rowley Silk Palm Leaf Print Maxi

    $625

    Well if it's good enough for recent mother of the bride Andie MacDowell, sign us up, too! This tropical gem is perfect for a beachy or destination event. The silk chiffon maxi with balloon sleeves offers full coverage without weighed you down. The keyhole cutout is a fun, subtle wink and we love the addition of the organza flower tie at the waist combined with the cool print. Pairs well with strappy heels, or flat sandals, as MacDowell chose.  Sizes XS to XL. Buy from Verishop.

    A dress that says you're a standout, but you don't need to scream about it. We love the vibrant hue, and the scalloped lace. It's delicate, yet strong; Intricate, yet affordable. Sizes XXS to XL (which translates to 0 to 20). Buy from Lilly Pulitzer.

    Mac Duggal Puff-Sleeve Trumpet Midi Dress

    Subtle and sophisticated. Made of jersey knit this midi-length dress accentuates your curves with the benefit of sharp draping. We love the puff sleeve and the gold hue, which feels elevated but won't clash with the bridal party. You're sure to wear this one again and again. Sizes 2 to 16. Buy from Anthropologie.

    The Fold Color Block Silk Midi Dress

    $950

    A dress you could take from day to night—and will definitely find occasion to wear again and again. The bold color blocking is balanced by simple chid cut. We love the two-tone adjustable kimono-style belt and the way the skirt screams for a twirl. Plus, it's different from every angle.  Sizes 2 to 12. Buy from The Fold London.

    Ralph Lauren Floral Georgette One Shoulder Gown

It's the asymmetrical neckline, all over pleating, and soft floral print that really step up this style. Sizes 0 to 18. Buy from Bloomingdale's.
