41+ Best Websites For Formal Dresses When You’ve Got Some Place Fancy To Go

• Pageant Girl , Style

This post may contain affiliate links. See full disclosure.

I love dresses — seriously. If I could wear a dress every single day of the year, I absolutely would. And so when presented with an opportunity to attend an event requiring an extra special fancy dress, you better believe, I will be there.

Maybe you’ve got a fancy event yourself coming up that calls for formal attire. If you’re an online shopper like me, perhaps you’re wondering what are the best websites to snag a beautiful formal dress for your upcoming event.

As luck would have it, you’ve landed on the blog of a former pageant queen, who happens to be a formal dress aficionado. In this guide, I’ve rounded up a list of some of the best online stores and websites for formal dresses. I’ll list some pricy ones for the ladies who’ve got some money to blow and inexpensive budget-friendly sites for formal dresses as well. 

Types of formal dresses — for the record.

Before we get to the list of websites for formal dresses, I thought it might be helpful to just clarify the different categories of formality. This will help you choose a dress that’s not only lovely looking but also appropriate for your formal event.

White Tie, Black Tie, Formal/Black-Tie Optional

White Tie is the most formal wedding attire possible (think: White House state dinners). Women should wear a formal floor-length evening gown, no exceptions.

For black-tie formal, women should wear a formal floor-length gown that does not reveal the ankles at the hem of the dress, but if the wedding seems a bit less formal, a sophisticated cocktail dress may also be acceptable. Women may also wear elegant pantsuits.

As far as women are concerned, there’s not much of a difference between black-tie attire and black-tie optional attire, although Mae says it’s more acceptable to wear a dress that shows the ankles (which is not true of a black-tie dress code).

Cocktail, Semi-Formal/Dressy Casual, Festive

A small step above semi-formal though not as formal as black-tie optional or formal, cocktail attire is a popular dress code choice. It’s a balance between elegant and comfortable, and typically is more formal than a day wedding but more casual than a night celebration. Instead of a floor-length dress, women should opt for a tea-length, knee-length, or midi dress. 

For a semi-formal or dressy casual try a below-the-knee dress or a dressy skirt and top. An elegant pantsuit is also appropriate. Floor-length gowns, however, would be inappropriate.

Online Stores and Websites for Formal Dresses

Alright, now that we’ve got a basic understanding of the different levels or categories of formal dresses, let’s get into the best places to buy formal dresses, shall we?

1. My Top Pick: Rent The Runway

To avoid putting yourself into a major expense, one invaluable beauty pageant tip I recommend using a clothing rental subscription service such as Rent the Runway to get high-quality stylish pieces for a fraction of the cost.

When I’m in need of a formal dress for a special occasion, my top pick is always Rent The Runway . With Rent The Runway you can wear the most beautiful and expensive designer dresses for a fraction of what it would cost for you to buy the dress outright. And for a dress you will only wear once or twice, this is the most cost-effective option. 

When I competed in major international beauty pageants which required me to be prepared with numerous formal dresses for many different dresses, I borrowed quite a few dresses from Rent The Runway. I’ve always had a stellar and easy experience with them and will continue to use the service as long as it’s offered and I need a fancy dress. If you’re in New York City, they even have a physical store you can go into and try the dresses on.

Tips For Choosing The Right Formal Dress Silhouette For Your Body Type

When choosing a formal gown or dress, it's important to choose a silhouette that flatters your body type. A dress that fits well and accentuates your best features will make you feel confident and beautiful. Here are some tips for choosing the right silhouette for your body type:

• If you have an hourglass figure, opt for a dress with a fitted bodice and a flowing skirt to accentuate your curves.
• If you have a pear-shaped figure, opt for a dress with a fitted bodice and a full skirt to balance out your proportions.
• If you have a rectangle-shaped figure, opt for a dress with a defined waistline and a flowing skirt to create the illusion of curves.
• If you have an apple-shaped figure, opt for a dress with a v-neckline and an empire waist to draw attention to your upper body.

No matter what your body type, there is a formal dress or gown out there that will flatter your figure and make you feel confident and beautiful.

What is the difference between a formal dress and a semi-formal dress?

There are subtle differences between formal and semi-formal dresses. When shopping for the right dressy attire, consider how you will style your look for the dress code of the event you're attending and the vibe of the venue location. Formal attire can also be called a black-tie dress code that lends itself to the most glamorous attire. Explore specialty gowns designed with accents that elevate your formal dress with hand-beading, rhinestone embellishments, or detailed embroidery. Expect to see this dress code for weddings, galas, and proms—these events usually require a floor-length dress with an A-line or mermaid silhouette, ball gown dresses, or a formal dress with luxe details like rhinestones or lace. A semi-formal dress for homecoming, weddings, or anniversary parties can come in shorter or midi lengths, two-piece styles, or a classic party length. Choose formal midi dresses that feature glam detailing like sequin bodices or high-slit satin skirts as this length offers more variety in semi-formal silhouettes. Explore necklines on formal dresses to highlight jewelry from plunge, cowl, and scoop necks to sweetheart or V-necklines. Strapless, spaghetti straps, and off-the-shoulder formal styles are sexy gown details to adore on both formal gowns and semi-formal dresses. The type of event you're attending, a military ball versus a Broadway show or a wedding at an upscale hotel versus one at the local house of worship, can also be a good clue to tell you if a formal dress code or semi-formal dress code is required.

Are formal dresses long?

No, not all formal dresses are long. Formal dresses are traditionally long in length and feature beautiful, eye-catching details like rhinestones, pleats, lace, and embroidery. The special occasion dress collections at Windsor feature a glamorous variety of short, midi, and long dress lengths to accommodate every occasion. When it comes to silhouettes, discover stunning long silhouettes like A-line, mermaid, trumpet, and sheath dresses to stay on-trend. Formal short dresses can be found in midi-lengths or shorter styles like party or skater dresses but come in elevated designs showcasing sleeves, necklines, and of course luxe fabrications from velvet to satin, sequin to rhinestone. These days you can expect to see high-low satin dresses or unique two-piece dresses as floor-length alternatives for trendsetters looking to revamp their formal dress assortment.

35 Best Sites for Formal Dresses Every Woman Should Know

W Wedding season is right around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! This year we’ll be going to Greece in the Summer for my cousin’s wedding and in November, I’ll be the Maid of Honor for my little sister’s wedding. I started my dress hunt here in LA but didn’t find anything that I was crazy about. So, I’ll be ordering my dresses online, from sites that I’ve either ordered from before, or have bookmarked over the years that carry top designer formal dresses for weddings guests, maid of honors, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and so on..

Even if you’re “just” a guest, there are endless occasions at which you want to look your red-carpet best, and a gorgeous dress can help you do just that.

11. Peaches Boutique

12. Net-a-porter

Netaporter is a clever spinoff on the French idea of  prêt-à-porte , which means “ready to wear.” It’s pronounced PRET-UH-POOR-TAY, so make sure to say it right when people ask you where your amazing dress is from. Oh, and their high-end cocktail dresses are  amazing. Go check them out.

13. Bergdorf Goodman

Bergdorf offers a link in their navigation titled “Designers A-Z.” And honestly, that’s all you need to know about this company. It is  the  site to visit if your goal is to get a designer gown. Just try and get one you can wear later on, to make the price worth it.

15. JJ’s House

At JJ’s House, your fashion is their passion. And they make good on that promise. They offer some of the most unique dress styles around. Think interesting off-the-shoulder cuts or hats worthy of Jackie O. Capes on formal dresses. Take a look and you’ll see what I mean.

Every dress style under the sun, all in one place? Yes, please. In addition to casual fare, the site also has lots of fancy attire. You can search by length, strap and shoulder style, color and more. Best of all, you can also find shoes and accessories in one place.

20. House of CB

If you’re looking for formal dresses by theme, you’ve found the perfect shop to help you do it. The site does allow you to search by brand or style, like others. But they also have “campaigns.” These separate into themes from eras (the 80s), holidays (Christmas) and events (party).

Jovani is dedicated to offering women a huge range of choices for you. Note that you have to get pricing over the phone and order from a shop. Want to get your formal dresses in person? Make sure to hit up one of Jovani’s trunk shows, held all over the Eastern Seaboard! It’s the best way to find a steal for less.

22. Mila Bella Couture

When a shop does nothing but dresses, you know you’re in good hands. Not only does Mila Bella offer designer brands, they offer more affordable versions as well. The site is sectioned into evening gowns, short dresses that are perfect for bridesmaids, and maxi lengths for guests.

23. Rent the Runway

Blow them away without blowing your credit line! Rent the Runway offers one-time rentals or ongoing wardrobe changes, so you can always look awesome without having to BIY (buy it yourself, obvi). As they say, you can own it without owning it … plus, hello environmentalism!

24. Barneys

Designer luxury has come home to roost. This is the perfect place to match up your jewelry, handbags and shoes with a dress. Plus, they have an amazing array of designers. Watch the sales and you can get crazy good deals.

25. eDressMe

This site is 100% dress-centric. In addition to formal dresses for prom, they also have high-end wedding and bridal party attire. Also evening gowns. Pro tip: If you’re in the younger crowd, get a dress that can double as your next homecoming or prom gown.

26. Neiman Marcus

Headquartered in Dallas, Neiman Marcus brings a sunny swing to all things dress. They feature a huge range of contemporary designers and dresses by occasion. This is another great option for wedding guests who want to look amazing without stealing the show.

In addition to clothing, swimwear and accessories, Venus has amazing dresses for all occasions. It’s the perfect online shop for destination wedding-goers, since you can get your beachwear and casual clothes there as well.

Lulus is all about the niche dress. Find bridesmaids apparel and wedding guest dresses in their own categories. Grab honeymoon gear if you’re a bride. And enjoy the huge selection of accessories as well!

29. Promlily

As their title suggests, Prom Lily is all about dances. They love a good wedding or special occasion too, though. They also offer clothing by destination. If you’re opting for a beach party, for instance, they’ve got you covered.

Get ready for women’s formal dresses with a Down Under spin. They offer any dress you can imagine, putting you in perfect shape for weddings from evening to evening dresses. Plus, they are very affordable. If you want to make a statement without spending every last dime, this is the place.

BCBG has a whole section of their site devoted to special occasion dresses. It’s called the Celebration Shop, and it is aptly named. With that kind of attention, this designer brand is bound to have something for you. Choose from modern cuts to classic, Old World styles.

32. PromGirl

Again, the name is clear that this shop focuses on prom dresses. They’re an amazing source for anyone seeking a formal dress in their teens, 20s or even 30s. They have a wonderful plus-size section as well as a superstore in New Jersey, so check it out if you’re nearby!

33. Shopbop

You’ve most likely heard of Shopbop. They’re famous for their awesome sales and trendy duds. You can not only search by cocktail, formal and bridal. You can also search by color, pattern, length and more. Plus, they offer shoes, accessories and all your other needs in one place.

34. David’s Bridal

David’s is a go-to choice for the younger set. Their wedding guest dresses are super reasonably priced. They’re also classic enough to wear again for years to come. Younger wedding guests – think teens and twenties – can’t find a better outlet.

35. StyleBop

This is hands-down one of the best shops for designer dressers. In true luxury style, they have a huge range of well-known brands. From cocktail length to formal, you’ll find everything you need to make that wedding or evening soiree as special as can be.

To get the best possible experience, be sure to take your most recent measurements before ordering the dress. Then match it up to the brand’s sizing chart. If you can’t find one,  here’s a universal sizing chart . However, it’s always better to dig deep for one put out by the actual dress-maker. That way, the formal dresses, wedding guest dresses and mother of the bride dresses you choose are much likelier to give you the perfect look.

A few more caveats, though. First, never order a dress based on the size you’re “planning to be.” When that day arrives, you want to know you look good. If you can’t fit into your dress, you’ll be mega-bummed. Also, it’s important when online shopping to leave time for returns. Order your dress several months ahead of time. Then try it on. If you like it, get the shoes and accessories. Then if you  still  like it, you’re good. If not, return it!

And that’s it! While the above list of the best online dress stores won’t solve all your dress problems, it will still get you started in the right direction. Good luck, and get ready to raise a glass at your event with pride in your appearance!

For all of life’s special moments that call for celebration, Jovani’s expansive evening wear collection has the perfect dress for your next event, no matter the occasion. Explore Jovani’s evening dresses and make a statement with a look that lets you tell your story. Whether you’re in the pursuit of a formal dress that's classic and sophisticated or contemporary and cutting edge, look no further than Jovani and discover why we’ve been the go-to brand for stunning evening wear fashion for generations of well-dressed women.

The category of evening wear can range from embellished ball gowns with dramatic tiers and trains to well-tailored, stylish suits and everything in between. When shopping for evening wear, it’s important to have some key information about the affair you’re attending so you can successfully dress for the occasion. Knowing your party’s dress code, venue, season, and in certain cases, theme can help guide you in your search. 

If your taste is timeless, be true to your sense of style with Jovani’s new twists on classic silhouettes in luxe fabrics and rich hues. If your personal style evolves with the times, get inspired by the latest emerging trends as you explore our collection. Turn to red carpet events, fashion shows and celebrity style to see what piques your interest. This year, trends like exaggerated bows, drop waist dresses, ruching, pleating, pearl embellishments, and 3D rosettes have appeared on runways and all throughout different realms of fashion. Your next special event is the perfect time to experiment with a bold new style.

When exploring evening wear dresses, the silhouettes and fabrication you choose can convey an unspoken level of formality, so in order to ensure your selected style satisfies the dress code, we’ve done the research for you. If attending a cocktail event, you can opt for a hemline slightly above or at the knee, or consider tea length dresses if you want to add a more formal piece to your cocktail wardrobe. Jovani offers sophisticated and trend forward cocktail dresses in countless silhouettes. Choose from luxurious stretch crepes and figure hugging scubas in rich, vibrant colors, or metallic brocades that introduce floral or geometric motifs into your ensemble. For a softer, feminine look, our delicate European lace dresses are a top contender when it comes to cocktail. This season, to elevate our classic cocktail silhouettes, we’ve used beading, embroidering, pleating, and fabric manipulation techniques to reinvent some of your favorite styles.

A black tie dress code is your excuse to pull out all the stops and step out of your comfort zone and into something truly fabulous. If you’re invited to a black tie affair, your host wants their guests to look their absolute best, so don’t worry about over-dressing and embrace the occasion! For those who are not familiar with black tie, it could be easily misinterpreted to indicate dark colors, or serious and conservative in style. On the contrary, black tie typically invites guests to wear bold colors and creative, fashion forward styles. Jovani’s evening collection combines elements of fun and formality to take the guesswork out of deciphering dress codes.

With Jovani’s sprawling collection of formal wear, you can choose a gown that matches your vibrant personality and unique fashion sense. For black tie occasions, a floor length gown is a must. Ball gowns, A-lines, and trumpet silhouettes are among the most common shapes you’ll see at these events, though sheath gowns in rich fabrics, such as velvets and crepes, with some embellishments and the proper accessorizing, can also be up to par. Jovani’s beaded evening ball gowns and fit and flare dresses will truly take your breath away. The unique beading patterns hand sewn onto illusion mesh and laces create eye-catching lines that elongate your silhouette. Jovani’s sophisticated taffeta gowns feature ruching, pleating, ruffles, and exaggerated side capes and trains to create volume and add to your presence as you make your entrance. 

When attending an upscale event, dressing up is half the fun. Yet, since evening wear is very different from your everyday uniform, it can be difficult to apply your knowledge of silhouettes and body types to formal fashion. Finding the style that best suits your body type is simple and so rewarding. The right Jovani dress will make you look and feel incredible, and with these guiding tips, you’re bound to find your dream dress. It’s helpful to remember that the construction of evening dresses is very different from what you likely wear on a daily basis. The expert craftsmanship of Jovani dresses and built in structure make our designs contour and flatter your curves so be open minded to new silhouettes. 

Ball gowns, which are characterized by a defined natural waistline and full skirt, are great for balancing proportions. If your waistline tends to get lost, a ball gown would highlight your cinched mid section, making it a focal point. A classic feature of the ballgown silhouette is a corset structure in the bodice which offers shape and support, which makes it a great option for fuller busts. Consider this universally flattering silhouette for your next event.

When browsing Jovani’s more fitted styles, like sheath dresses, mermaids, and trumpets, seek out design details that will flatter your body type. Trumpets and mermaids flare below hip level, which is a great way to visually balance proportions, making them a great option if you have broader shoulders or if you want to try an off the shoulder or strapless gown. Column gowns, which lack a clearly defined break point at the waist, can elongate your torso creating an elegant look. In this silhouette, waist pleats or a design element that carries the eye from the bodice into the skirt can help disguise your midsection or any imperfections. Dramatic sleeves are in this season and a great way to add an extra flare to a simpler silhouette. 

Jovani believes that any cause for celebration deserves a dress that rises to the occasion. Explore our evening collection and be the life of the party in a Jovani gown.

The 17 Best Places to Buy Dresses Online, Tested & Reviewed

Say yes to all the dresses.

In This Article

What to Keep in Mind

Your questions, answered, why shop with us.

InStyle / Kevin Liang

Buying dresses online can be nerve-racking, especially when you’re typically scrolling for a dress with a particular event in mind. Luckily, it’s never been easier to get options to your door quickly. We turned to our editors for their favorite brands and retailers to shop for dresses in their free time, and we analyzed the checkout experience, customer service, and shipping and return processes. We then   spoke with stylists  Calvy Click ,  Jamie Grimstad , and  Elisabeth Kassab  for their takes.

While some of the following options may come as no surprise to anyone, we hope you’ll find a few you haven’t explored yet, ultimately leading to your dream dress. We also have tips for ordering the correct size, washing delicate pieces, and choosing styles. Whether shopping for a specific event or looking to hop on a trend, these are the best places to buy dresses online.

Abercrombie & Fitch

Abercrombie & Fitch

The once-popular mall brand has come back into favor again: this time as a (surprisingly) inclusive spot for trendy items at a relatively affordable price. Generally, we're pleased with the trendy selection that doesn’t skimp out on comfort or quality, and it's among our editors’ favorite places to shop for dresses. It’s become somewhat of a saving grace thanks to its great selections and good pricing—just look at this pleated midi dress for $150. Not to mention, the brand frequently offers sales throughout the year (though that also means it sells out of styles quickly). The dresses work for daytime formal occasions. And while navigating through its online portal is a breeze, the app is equally enjoyable.

Shipping Policy: $7 with an estimated delivery of 4–5 days | Return Policy: 30 days from shipment confirmation email for full refund with a $7 return shipping fee | Size Range: XXS–XXL

The nice thing about shopping clothing brands on Amazon is that the major retailer doesn’t ascribe to one style genre. We have editors here who love a free and flowy look and others who more often lean sleek and sophisticated , and they shop for dresses at Amazon all the same. Since it’s a retailer we use often for many solutions, the familiarity of the system is comforting. We know how fast our orders will arrive and how easy it is to return them, namely with a Prime membership. We also love the plethora of reviews to help guide our decisions and take into consideration everything from size and fit to material, durability, and versatility.

Shipping Policy: Free one- or two-day shipping through Amazon Prime | Return Policy: Free return shipping 30 days from delivery for a full refund | Size Range: Various

Anthropologie

There are so many things to love about Anthropologie, from the versatility of its lineup to its reliability factor that promises a unique point of view. There’s always a nice print, tasteful cut, or distinctive frill that sets the retailer's selection apart from the plain and simple. Collectively, we haven’t found a loose button or thread. And while we adore visiting the meticulously kept brick-and-mortar stores, the online shopping experience is easy. We especially love the Dresses Under $150 section. Many of the preview photos tell us whether further sizing, like plus or petite, is available as well, saving us time as we scroll.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping on orders over $50 | Return Policy: 30 days from purchase for full refund with a $5.95 shipping fee | Size Range: XXS–XXL and 00–18 with additional petite sizing; 1X–4X and 16W–30W

One thing British online retailer ASOS has is variety—in styles, sizes, colors, occasions, and trends—and for under $100 no less. With such a wide selection, we never fail to find exactly what we’re looking for, especially with the help of the advanced filter system. We can scale our search down by color, size, length, price, brand, and even discount percentage. Although the platform has been adding more and more brands at higher price points recently, the majority of its offerings remain affordable, especially the sale dresses .

We also love the easy shipping and return processes. When the dresses arrive, they come in a resealable pouch which we can use to send back the dress. All it takes is a quick USPS scan and the refund is on its way back to us. 

Shipping Policy: Free shipping with USPS | Return Policy: Free return shipping 14 days from receipt and $3.99 thereafter, up to 28 days from receipt | Size Range: Various, depending on the brand

Generally, Boden offers a more modest and mature selection. It’s been our go-to when we want something classic with a touch of playfulness thanks to some zingy prints. Most of the dresses feature long sleeves and decently cover the neckline, making them more appropriate for semi-formal environments like an office party or Sunday church. You could certainly put this printed midi shirt dress to work.

Many of the dresses are also offered in petite , regular, and long lengths, so we feel confident there’s something for a myriad of people here. We only wish there was a larger range of plus sizes.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping on orders over $49 | Return Policy: Free return shipping with a full refund up to 45 days from dispatch | Size Range: 2–22 petite, regular, and long

Christy Dawn

Think cottagecore and farmercore, Christy Dawn offers dresses for the free-spirited lady. Many of the silhouettes are comfortable and relaxed, while never missing a beat on style, clean cuts, and good tailoring. They often feature fun patterns (take the Brooklyn dress as an example) that give each piece a little flare.

The earthy styles are a reflection of Christy Dawn’s sustainable business practices, which use regenerative farming practices to respect the planet. The dresses we’ve tried have been breezy and beautiful, leaning heavily into the cottagecore aesthetic, and the cotton quality feels supreme. The brand also offers extended sizing and models showcasing how the styles would look on various body types, including petite and plus-sized—something that’s often missed by brands.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping on orders over $400; $12 standard shipping | Return Policy: Free return shipping 14 days from delivery | Size Range: XS–3XL petite, standard, and plus

Dôen has recently risen as an editor-favorite here at InStyle . But it’s not just us—Kassab considers it her favorite place to shop for dresses as well. “[The brand has] such a wide variety for every type of aesthetic, and everything is so comfortable which is a must for me,” she says. Scroll through the catalog of effortlessly feminine silhouettes—our favorite is the Ischia dress .

Dôen proudly operates with a woman-first model, meaning that they seek out manufacturing partners run by female-identifying individuals and with female artisans and workers at every step of the supply chain. To minimize their carbon footprint, they have programs such as the Hand Me Dôen , where shoppers can sell their purchases back to Dôen to give them another chance at life.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping on orders over $500 | Return Policy: Free return shipping up to 30 days from purchase | Size Range: XXS–XXL

If you’re a frequent InStyle reader, then you’re probably well aware that we adore Madewell . The brand never misses on style, quality, and inclusivity, which make it a great destination for practically all of our needs, including dresses. We love its offering of laid-back-cute everyday clothes, like this denim dress , but not in a way that solely gears to a super young generation. One InStyle writer bought a dress here that she and her mother share despite their 4-inch height difference. We also find the online catalog easier (and more pleasant) to navigate than the store, as there are always more options and styles available on the web.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping for Madewell Insider members | Return Policy: Free return shipping up to 30 days from purchase | Size Range: Petite, standard, plus, 00–24

Modern Citizen

Minimalists can have a field day when shopping on the online-exclusive retailer, Modern Citizen. The brand caters to a simply elegant woman with a penchant for sleek cuts. Can’t you envision her in this ribbed wrap dress ? Scrolling through the catalog always feels incredibly satisfying, as the simple silhouettes manage to look very alluring without needing to show a ton of skin, flashy patterns, or daring cuts. We’ve also had a very pleasant experience talking to customer service representatives—they’re always more than happy to answer our questions and help us feel confident with our purchase. 

Shipping Policy: Free shipping | Return Policy: 30 days from delivery for a $5 fee | Size Range: XS–2XL

We think it’s safe to say that nearly the entire InStyle staff has shopped at Nordstrom before. The major retailer is a destination spot for big and small brands from Topshop and Skims to Cara Cara , Miaou , and Sir , showcasing a variety of styles to which most people can relate. But it’s not just the sheer options that make them so appealing. It’s the incredible organization of the website—we can filter by just about any feature, be it color, length, material, occasion, or price point.

We also often find our favorite brands sold at discounted prices, saving us money without sacrificing style. And every time we’ve received an order, it arrived at rapid speed for free (three days). It’s also been just as easy to return items—all we had to do was print a shipping label and drop it off at the nearest post office. Lastly, we once saw a competing retailer sell an item we just bought for cheaper, and the customer service representative at Nordstrom swiftly refunded the difference to us. We couldn’t recommend the experience more.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping | Return Policy: Free and not restricted to a time frame | Size Range: Various

Neverfully Dressed

If you’re someone who likes to try out a lot of styles, Neverfully Dressed is constantly rotating in new styles. Shopping on the e-commerce site has been inspiring, with the dresses styled in various ways on different body types (such is the case with this strapless summer dress ). We even have editors here who are so loyal to their dresses that they’ve signed up for the points system . Sometimes, there are even promotions announced during the brand’s Instagram Live videos. This is all to say, there’s always a way to save with this brand, and there’s never a moment we tire of the styles. 

Shipping Policy: Free delivery | Return Policy: 28 days from delivery for a $9.99 fee (in your local currency) | Size Range: 2–24

Reformation

Reformation has quickly amassed fame thanks to its signature feminine silhouettes and sustainable business practices. When we tested some pieces , we understood just why everyone loves them so much. Somehow, all of Reformation’s designs expertly balance between flirty, feminine, and sophisticated, never leaning too far in one direction and never feeling too trendy.

The ever-popular Frankie Silk Dress is a perfect example of just that. It’s why it’s Kassab’s go-to for all special occasion dresses. Since some of us have found the sizing structure to be inconsistent, it doesn’t hurt to order multiple sizes and return the ones that don’t fit as the brand offers free shipping and returns.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping for delivery within 3–8 days | Return Policy: Free returns if you keep at least one item from your order within 30 days of delivery | Size Range: 0–12

Whatever the occasion, whatever the style, Revolve likely has a dress for it. Catering to a slightly younger audience (but not exclusively so), Revolve is home to many trend-forward brands. We love to come here to discover new fashion and upcoming designers, as the results page feels as though it goes on for an infinity. And thanks to the superior filtering capabilities, it’s easy to find exactly what we want among the many dresses offered. It’s also a favorite of Grimstad, who considers this her go-to for wardrobe staples and day-to-night finds. ( This Autumn Cashmere turtleneck dress is already on our wish list.) However, we think the site could benefit from some model diversity to show shoppers how the clothes look on different body types.

Shipping Policy: Free shipping for delivery within two days | Return Policy: Free returns up to 60 days from order | Size Range: XXS–XXL

Saks Fifth Avenue

Saks doesn’t need much of an introduction, so we’re going to skip straight to our personal experiences shopping at this major retailer. This is where we go when we’re looking for more special occasion dresses (file this Zimmerman dress under “need”). Most of the designers showcased are high-end and what many people would consider an investment. When ordering from the website, items arrive in the blink of an eye (about three days). We only wish the app was this fast, but somehow it always takes ages to load. Still, thanks to the many filtering options, it never takes too long to find exactly what we need. As a trusted site that only offers the best of the best, we never have to worry about ill-fitted items or bad-quality materials.

Shipping Policy: $9.95 on orders under $100 for delivery in 3–6 business days | Return Policy: Free returns within 30 days of delivery| Size Range: Various

We could rave about Shopbop’s great selection of designers and brands, but it’s really the retailer’s partnership with Amazon Prime that gives it its gold star. We get free shipping and free returns in the same way we would at Amazon, but with a much more stylish selection of clothing from long-beloved labels such as Rag & Bone , Tibi , and Enza Costa . It’s like shopping designer labels but with a seamless Amazon-esque experience. Shopbop also frequently offers discounts and promotions, further making it a pleasurable experience to shop at. Beyond dress categories like “floral dresses” and “tank dresses,” we can further filter our search by size, color, and designer.

Shipping Policy: Free | Return Policy: Free within 30 days of delivery | Size Range: Various

Torrid is one of our favorite destinations for curvy and plus-size dresses, catering to sizes 10–30. Its styles are always fun, chic, and feminine, so it’s nearly impossible to just choose one without getting swayed by all of the options. And perhaps you don’t have to, considering that pricing is very reasonable, even outside of one of the many promotions offered throughout the year. There are tons of filtering options, too, which made it easy to find this easy cami dress to wear on our next beachy vacation. While there isn’t free shipping, the returns can be initiated up to 60 days after receiving your order—one of the most generous return policies on this list.

Shipping Policy: $6 for standard shipping | Return Policy: Up to 60 days from delivery for a $6 fee | Size Range: 10–30

Zara is always putting out new styles, following along with the most current trends. While this does mean items sell out fast, we always find stylish and affordable pieces on the website that don’t require too much though—after all, you can’t go wrong with this slip dress for under $50. The online selection is also more extensive than what’s available in stores, and if you live in an urban area, then you already know how hectic the in-person experience can get at a Zara.

When it comes to quality, we’re always pleasantly surprised at how well the pieces hold up, making this one of the best online clothing stores . While materials such as polyester or viscose might not have the best rep, they worked well for everyday items that we wore repeatedly. We have items in our closets from Zara that we bought five years ago and still haven’t shown any signs of wear and tear. 

Shipping Policy: Free for delivery in 3–5 days | Return Policy: Free within 30 days of shipment date | Size Range: XS–XXL

• Shipping Policy: This is an especially important aspect to consider if you're working under a strict deadline. Most places offer rush or express options if you're willing to pay the price. However, if you have a few days, many of the above options offer free standard shipping and guaranteed delivery within five days. We’ve experienced some of the fastest deliveries from retailers like Shopbop, Revolve, and Nordstrom.
• Return Policy: It was shocking how much this varied for different stores. We found that the larger stores are much more likely to take returns or offer up store credit if you miss the return deadline. Smaller brands were more likely to charge for the return label itself. Of course, if you're in a pinch, this may not even be a huge consideration.

How can you find the right size dress online?

You know the phrase "measure twice, cut once?” In a sense, that applies here. Grimstad has a couple of (almost) fool-proof ways to ensure you get the right size the first time around. First, “look at which size the model is wearing and see how it fits. Especially if you have multiple models showcasing the dress, this can be very helpful,” she says. Next, look up the measurements on the size guide and measure yourself to compare. Lastly, “read the reviews!” emphasizes Grimstad. “While not all retailers have them, reviews can be super helpful when trying to figure out how a garment actually fits.” If you're shopping at a retailer that carries lots of different brands, Click says it's best to head over to the actual designer's site to make sure the measurements are exact.

Which fabrics are easiest to machine wash?

Click admits to hand-washing everything after too close of calls with her washing machine, which she says "likes to devour anything less precious than a beach towel.” However, there are some fabrics to look out for if you want something washing machine-friendly. Namely, cotton and polyester blends, but if you want the items to maintain their shape, make sure you're skipping the dryer. If you have something linen, it's probably best to hand wash and dry or opt for spot-cleaning when possible. For silks, it's dry clean-only, baby!

The 17 Best Places to Buy Dresses, Vetted by Byrdie Editors

Amazon, Anthropologie, Aritzia—and that's just the beginning.

Byrdie / Alli Waataja

Gone are the days of spending hours at your local department store, sifting through racks and racks to shop for a dress. Now you can get a dress for every occasion and  trend  sitting in your sweats on the sofa. And still, with endless options, the search for the perfect dress can be overwhelming. "Dresses in varying silhouettes, lengths, and fabrications can make it challenging to know what's right for you," says former  Stitch Fix  stylist Whitney Keefe.

Besides the dress style, the online shopping experience can impact your purchase. To help you find the best retailer for your next order, we surveyed more than 500 editors on where they love to shop for dresses online. We asked questions about the material quality, price point, size selection, shipping, returns, and overall customer service. After analyzing the responses, we narrowed our list to the best sites to buy dresses for any event.

Best Overall

Anthropologie

Size Range: XXS–4X, plus petite and plus sizes | Shipping: Free shipping over $50 | Return Policy: Full refund within 30 days

We love this retailer for its variety and unique selection from many brands, including Farm Rio, Ciao Lucia, and Faithfull The Brand, to name a few. The site has also made efforts to offer more inclusive sizing, with a lot of dresses coming in plus or petite sizes . Whether we are looking for a casual sundress or silky number to wear to a wedding or perhaps a wedding dress itself (yep, Anthro has an entire bridal shop ), we know we can find it online.

So many options can make shopping overwhelming, but the site lets you filter by occasion, size, length, neckline, and more. We recommend creating an account, so that you can add dresses to your wish list if you want to wait to buy something when it goes on sale. Anthro is known for its generous sales that often feature items up to 40% off.

Best Budget

Size Range: Varies | Shipping: Free two-day shipping with Prime membership | Return Policy: Full refund within 30 days of delivery

While Amazon certainly offers some designer and higher-end options, it's the selection of affordable yet cute clothing brands that can't be beat. On top of that, Amazon offers the most extensive reviews and star ratings, so you can get a fairly accurate reading of the product's quality and fit. And, of course, if you're an Amazon Prime member you get free two-day shipping, which beats most other retailers.

Amazon has saved us many times when we needed to get a dress at the last minute. We could order a few styles and sizes and easily return whatever didn't work out. Amazon Prime also offers "Try Before You Buy" with a seven-day try-on period, so you can test out various sizes and colors and only get charged for what you keep (it also includes free returns).

PRETTYGARDEN

Best Designer

Saks Fifth Avenue

Size Range: 000-28 | Shipping: Free standard shipping on orders of $100+ | Return Policy: Free returns within 14 days of delivery, otherwise $10 fee for return label within 30 days of delivery

For those who want all the designer brands at their fingertips, we recommend Saks Fifth Avenue, which carries all the legacy designers like Alexander McQueen as well as the new breed. Saks does the hard work for us by sorting dresses by dress code (cocktail vs evening) as well as curating fun shops like Revenge Dressing, It Girl's Closet, and It's a Date, to name a few.

One of our favorite pastimes is lying in bed, scrolling through the Saks app, and saving items that catch our eye, so we can buy them when they go on sale, which happens quite frequently. While the site has a higher shipping minimum than most, it's easy to meet when buying designer items. You technically have 30 days to return your order, but in order to receive a free shipping label, it has to be done within the first 14 days. And with the option to make returns in store or use a QR code at FedEx, you don't have to print the return label (yay!).

Alice + Olivia

Self-Portrait

Size Range: XXS–4X, plus petite and maternity sizing | Shipping: Free standard shipping | Return Policy: Flexible

If you do a lot of online shopping like us, it's nice to be rewarded for your business, and Nordstrom treats its loyal customers quite well. By signing up for the site's free Nordy Club , you rack up points with every purchase that eventually lead to a discount. Dresses are especially easy to shop for online thanks to Nordstrom's curated selection of brands across several price points. Plus, with Nordstrom's price matching, you're guaranteed the best price for that particular item across major retailers. Yup, we've reached out to the customer service team after noticing a better price elsewhere and quickly received a refund.

Not to mention the return policy is very accommodating and flexible—so much so that they technically don't have one. According to Nordstrom, they "handle returns on a case-by-case basis with the ultimate goal of making customers happy." Whether you prefer to pick up in store, return in store, or return by mail, Nordstrom makes it easy. And if the dress you ordered is generally what you were looking for but would be perfect with some adjustments, you can take it to your nearest Nordstrom for free alterations and tailoring, if you're a Nordy Club Member.

Naked Wardrobe

House of CB

Best Trendy

Size Range: XXS–4X | Shipping: Free two-day shipping | Return Policy: Full refund within 60 days; exchanges up to 90 days

Sometimes we like to browse through Revolve just to see what's trending in the fashion world. Revolve carries a slew of trendy brands and dress styles but at more elevated price points, ideal for those occasions when you might be willing to splurge, such as for a fancy vacation or an elegant party. We've found some great dresses on sale though, so be sure to check out that section before checking out.

But it's also a great place to shop in a pinch, as they offer free two-day shipping in the United States. We've definitely had those moments when we thought we had the perfect dress for an event, only to realize it was dirty or not right for the dress code, and Revolve was the only site that could rescue us on time. We also love how we get free returns up to 60 days and the prepaid label is already included (who has a printer these days?). So, it really is a source of convenience all around.

Amanda Uprichard X Revolve

Best Sustainable

Reformation

Size Range: XS–3X, plus petite sizing | Shipping: Free U.S. shipping on all orders | Return Policy: Full refund within 30 days

The Los Angeles-based brand strives to merge sustainability with style by recycling scrap materials, focusing on local manufacturing, and reducing the chemicals used in production. But its conservative production doesn’t mean a limited selection; you can find anything from your next wedding gown to your next sundress. The brand focuses on a minimalist aesthetic with structural details like high slits, square necklines, and puff sleeves. Whenever we order a dress from the site, we know we are going to get a ton of compliments due to the timeless silhouettes and fabrics that feel and looks luxe. Case in point: when we wore a Reformation dress to a wedding, we were the talk of the town, after the bride's dress that is. Who said eco-friendliness couldn’t be stylish?

We've found the sizing to be consistent across styles, but you can always pop into a store if you want to try something on in-person. The one thing we don't like about the site is that they don't feature customer reviews, which could further help when we're between sizes. Reformation offers free shipping and returns within 30 days, but be sure to mark the return date in your calendar, because after the deadline, they won't give you any compensation.

Best Plus-Size

Size Range: 10–30 | Shipping: $6 for standard shipping | Return Policy: Returns within 60 days with a $6 shipping fee

With sizes ranging from 10 to 30, Torrid has one of the most inclusive size ranges online. Most dresses fall under $200, allowing you to revamp your wardrobe without completely draining your bank account—though every time we shop there, we end up loving so many styles, we go past our budget anyway.

The site is easy to navigate, and we can narrow our selection by filtering the dresses on silhouette, fabric, length, color, and more. The styles range from party frocks to work staples to date night dresses, and they even have a selection of white gowns perfect for a casual wedding or bridal events. Shipping and returns come at a flat fee for $6, though you can ship to a store for free.

Best for Wedding Guests

During those periods where we had a wedding event every other weekend, we used Lulus to quickly shop all the dresses we needed, plus nab some shoes and accessories to tie it all together. Best of all, most dresses are under $100 We even got a bridesmaid dress from the site, since we could easily filter by color, neckline, and shape. And for those brides looking for a gorgeous yet affordable wedding gown, Lulus has a entire shop dedicated to weddings . Most products have a ton of customer reviews, complete with photos and details about sizing. Meeting the $50 minimum for shipping is a breeze, and you have 30 days to make a return, though you have to pay for the return label if it's past 10 days since you received your order.

Best for Fast Shipping

Size Range: XXS–3XL | Shipping: Free two-day shipping with Prime membership | Return Policy: Free returns within 15 days; $10 label fee from 16–30 days

If you love to discover new and emerging designers and also appreciate an aesthetically pleasing e-commerce experience, Shopbop is made for you. The clean and editorial-forward site offers thoughtful collections from contemporary designers like Rhode, Rixo, Ulla Johnson, and La DoubleJ. Compared to other luxe retailers, Shopbop holds more sales on designer items, and you know we love a good steal. We also enjoy perusing the site's Fashion Finds: Under $200 to get the thrill of a fantastic fashion deal.

The best part? Shopbop is part of the Amazon family, so if you're a Prime member, those benefits stretch far—with free two-day shipping plus free returns.

Favorite Daughter

LoveShackFancy

Best Size Range

Size Range: 00–36 | Shipping: Free standard shipping on orders of $50+ | Return Policy: Free returns within 28 days of delivery

No matter your body type, finding the right fit when shopping online can be a challenge. But Asos has never let us down. With its wide size range, as well as styles specifically made for petite , plus-size , tall , and pregnant customers , it's the one site where we know we can find a dress that makes us looking and feel amazing. Most of the dresses feature a video of the model wearing the outfit, which is a game changer, since it gives us an even a better idea of the material and how the dress lays on the body.

Besides the range of sizes, Asos also carries a wide range of brands from Topshop to Mango to its own label. They have styles for every occasion imaginable, and you can even shop wedding and bridesmaid dresses. We have noticed that once a style goes out of stock, it usually doesn't come back, so don't wait around if you find one you love. Shipping and returns are quick and easy, and if you struggle with package thieves, you can opt to have your package delivered to Nordstrom, so you can safely pick it up.

ASOS Design

ASOS DESIGN

Best for Work

Size Range: 0–20/22 | Shipping: Free standard shipping on orders of $49+ | Return Policy: Free returns within 45 days of dispatch

We personally believe dresses make the best work outfits , because all you need is one piece to walk out the door, and they're surprisingly more comfortable than most pants and skirts. When shopping for workwear, you want a dress that's not too revealing or flashy, and Boden's designs fit the bill. Go to the site and you'll find a vast collection of knee-length and midi dresses in chic prints and colors that strike the right balance of unique yet professional. Most dresses feature the universally loved A-line silhouette and come in cozy knits and comfy jersey. Nearly every style comes in petite and tall sizing as well, because the right tailoring can make or break a work outfit.

Yet what really makes Boden stand out is its 365-day Quality Guarantee. Though you have 45 days since dispatch to make a return, if the dress doesn't meet your quality past that point, they will still replace, refund, or give you store credit. We constantly rewear our work dresses, so it's nice to know that in case anything rips, pops off, or fades, Boden has our back.

Best Cottagecore

Christy Dawn

Size Range: XS-3X | Shipping: $12 standard shipping or free on orders over $400 | Return Policy: Returns accepted within 14 days of delivery

Whenever we put on a Christy Dawn dress, we feel like we're fulfilling our cottagecore fantasy. The designs are exactly what we envision when we daydream about living in a secluded cottage: floral prints, flannel, lace, and a lot of smocking. Besides the aesthetic, the dresses feel extremely high quality. Most designs are made in Los Angeles from sustainable materials like organic or regenerative cotton, deadstock fabric, and organic dyes. You can even shop bridal gowns and bridesmaid dresses that are made from regenerative silk and repurposed fabric for a more sustainable take on bridal fashion.

The site has dedicated extended sizing and petite sections to ensure everyone can enjoy their dreamy designs. Another aspect that makes shopping online at Christy Dawn a breeze is all the specific details on the product pages. The brand isn't afraid to inform us when we need to size up or that a dress requires a strapless bra . While we typically love surprises, the more information we can gather before making a purchase, the better.

Best for Going Out

Size Range: 0–24 | Shipping: $4 standard shipping | Return Policy: 28 days from date of receipt

Nasty Gal excels in a certain type of dress: the going-out dress. You know, the one you slip on for the night fully knowing it’s about to get spilled on and sweated through. You want it to be trendy and cheap, so you don’t mind wearing it only once to that party or club. So you turn to Nasty Gal, which offers an encyclopedia of the latest trends at insanely affordable prices. They also carry a plus, petite, and maternity line and are constantly dropping new collections. We can’t complain that there’s always a sale going on.

Runner Up: Best Plus-Size

Size Range: 14–32 | Shipping: Free standard shipping on orders over $125 | Return Policy: Full refund within 30 days

With plus sizes-ranging from 14 to 28, Eloquii makes finding the perfect dress easy for all shapes and sizes. From sweater dresses to sequin slips, the spread of styles has you covered for casual and dressy occasions and everything in between. The pieces are trend-forward, whether you lean towards sequins, lace, or solid colors.

Runner Up: Best for Work

M.m. lafleur.

Size Range: 0P–18 | Shipping: Free ground shipping on orders over $150; $10 flat rate on orders less than $150 | Return Policy: Full refund within 21 days of shipment

Founded by a management consultant and the former head designer of Zac Posen, the women-led brand M.M.LaFleur is all about empowerment in the workplace through functional, comfortable, and stylish clothing. The line of dresses checks off all the boxes you want in office attire—appropriate length, comfortable fabrics, and sophisticated colors. These aren’t the frumpy designs you’ll find in the work section of your department store—no, you’ll want to rock the streamlined silhouettes even after happy hour. Best of all, all of the brand’s clothes are machine washer friendly, so you can save on the dry cleaner costs.

M.M. Lafleur

Best Maternity

Size Range: XS–XL | Shipping: Free standard shipping on orders over $175 | Return Policy: Full refund within 30 days of receipt

With the motto, “not your mother’s maternity clothes,” Pink Blush truly delivers chic, modern maternity wear. The items are designed to be worn before, during, and after your pregnancy, and trust us, you’ll want to wear these dresses long after. From form-fitting knit dresses to playful tiered numbers, the brand lets you tackle any occasion during your pregnancy. You can even shop for dresses geared toward petite or tall figures. And at affordable prices, the designs deserve to be bought in every color. It's worth mentioning that the brand's sizing mostly ranges from XS to XL, so it's not as size-inclusive as others on this list.

Best Fashion-Forward

McMullen Boutique

Size Range: Not listed | Shipping: $10 for ground shipping | Return Policy: 7 days for a credit or exchange in store, return merchandise must be received on or before 10 days from delivery

Sherri McMullen, the owner of her eponymous boutique, opened her doors in Oakland in 2007 and has since attracted a cult following of shoppers who were interested in coveted brands like Tibi, Zimmermann, Peter Do, and Christopher John Rogers. The shop is curated with a keen eye for tailoring and eclectic workwear, including belted dresses with flared skirts, wide-leg trousers, and graphic printed blazers. Though, you can also find everything from breezy dresses to cozy knitwear, should you be all-in on the trend-based appeal.

What to Look for When Buying Dresses Online

• Shipping Policy: The speed and price of shipping is one of the biggest factors when choosing what site to shop from online. If you need a dress asap, look for sites that offer free two-day shipping like Amazon and Revolve. If you have more time to spare, you may want to look for sites that offer free standard shipping when you spend a certain amount. And if you're worried about your package getting lost or stolen from your doorstep, consider shopping at a site that offers free in-store pickup, like Anthropologie or Asos .
• Return Policy: Returns policies vary greatly from site to site, so it's important to read through the fine print before you place your order. Generally speaking, larger stores are much more likely to take returns or offer up store credit if you miss the return deadline. Smaller brands tend to charge for the return label itself and keep to a tighter deadline. That's why it's best to try the dress on as soon as possible, in case you need to return it.
• Material: Like with any piece of clothing, the material is a critical factor that sometimes is overlooked. Yet it impacts how hot or cold you’ll be in the dress, the likelihood of it getting wrinkled throughout the day, and how easy it will clean. If you are looking for a sundress, you’ll want to look for materials like lyocell and cotton to promote breathability and prevent wrinkling as you sit through the entire ceremony. For colder temperatures, wool is a great breathable, wrinkle-resistant choice. On the other hand, if you are shopping for dresses you’ll regularly wear to work or around the house, you’ll want a fabric that won’t require dry-cleaning unless you are ready for expensive bills piling up.
• Undergarments: Another factor that is easily forgotten when shopping for dresses online is what bras and underwear you’ll need to wear underneath. While backless and plunging necklines look amazing on the mannequin, you’ll likely need a a backless bra or boob tape to make it work. Likewise, certain materials and silhouettes—like a silk slip dress—will need a seamless thong or shapewear .

When shopping for any type of clothing online, it's best to always check with the site-specific size guide and have a measuring tape handy, as each brand tends to vary in sizing. You can also look at the customer reviews and filter for those with a similar body type to get more insight if you should size up or down. If you're still unsure, look for a site with a flexible return policy and consider ordering a couple sizes.

Not every dress is made for an office setting, and it’s easy to go from looking professional to inappropriate. The key to finding work-appropriate dresses is all about fit. “For workwear, look for a dress that fits properly through the arms and shoulders, loosely skims through the body, and hits just above or below the knee at the hem,” says Keefe, who also notes that shift dresses and wrap dresses "tend to be foolproof options.”

To make dresses with thin or no straps more professional, you can always throw on a blazer or sweater . Switching up jackets and accessories also makes your go-to office dress feel new.

Just because the temperature dips doesn’t mean you have to lock up all your dresses in storage. Rather, you can reach for a sweater dress that proves classic when you want to feel warm and swaddled. Adding a long wool coat, tights, and tall boots is a fabulous way to create a chic and cozy outfit.

And there are clever ways to transform your spring and summer dresses into year-round pieces, too. “While adding layers over a dress is always a good idea, don't miss the opportunity to layer under a dress,” says Keefe. “I always have a fitted white T-shirt, a fitted black turtleneck, and a fitted crew neck sweater in my closet ready to layer under my sleeveless dresses when the temperatures drop.” 

If you ever went dress shopping or looked at dresses in a magazine, you’ve probably heard the term A-line. This classic shape is seen in a variety of dresses from strapless to puff sleeves.

“An A-line dress mimics the shape of the letter ‘A,’” says Keefe. “It fits close to the body through the bust and waist and flows away from the body through the hips and thighs creating a timeless and universally flattering shape.”

The Perfect Dress for the Perfect Prom

For many people, prom only happens once in a lifetime. This event is one of the most important moments for a high school student or teenager. Thus, it pays to really take the time to consider the dress you wear to this event. If you take the time to really consider the prom dresses that are out there and which is right for your body and tastes, then you can be sure to feel as good as you look. And of course, if you choose the right prom dress, the photographs from this event will be made that much more enjoyable to look at years later. If you put some real thought into your dress, you are sure to be noticed not only by your date but by everyone else at the prom!

Prom Dress Shapes for Every Body Type

The first thing anyone will notice is the shape of your prom dress. The options are really endless when it comes to this component of your dress. There are form-fitting numbers with or without slits, and there are princess-like gowns that have full skirts and embroidered bodices. Know which areas of your body you want to show off and which you could do without people noticing. If you like your legs a lot, you may want to go with a shorter number, and if you like your back, you may want to go with a slinky number that has a low back. Additionally, if you know that you cannot stand your butt or thighs, you can choose an A-shape dress or full skirt to hide these things and draw attention to the upper half of your body.

Choosing the Right Prom Dress Color

Next, you really need to think about the color of the dress. Do you want to go with a classic black dress, or do you want something brighter in color? Think about which colors look best on you and if you can bring out some of your features. For example:

If you have blue eyes, a blue dress can make your eyes pop that much more

If you are a redhead, green can really complement your hair

Similarly, if you are extremely pale, you may want to stay away from ivory colors, and if you have dark skin, you may want to go with a vibrant pink or purple since these colors will look best next to darker skin tones

If you go with a pattern, think about how it will affect the shape of a dress and which areas it will highlight – stripes may not be the best choice if you are trying to look slimmer, but polka dots could be nicer for fuller figures

Selecting the Right Material

Next, you really need to think about the materials of your dress. For example, if you hold up wool and silk side by side, you would first see that wool is thicker and more textured than the slick appearance and feel of silk. You can go with an embroidered all natural fabric like cotton, or you can invest in a dress that includes a lot of heavy beading and man-made fabrics. Lastly, if you know you plan on dancing the night away, you may want to think about wearing fabrics that are lighter. After all, sweating in heavy fabrics is not only uncomfortable but can result in some unflattering stains!

Sleeves and Straps for Prom

The sleeves and straps of a dress determine not only how a dress looks but how it will stay on your body and fit you. The type of sleeves and straps also affect the amount of skin you show. If you are self-conscious about your arms, you may want to go with long- or short-sleeves.

On the contrary, if you want to show off your arms and show some of your upper chest and even your back, a strapless look might be best.

The straps of a dress are imperative to any prom dress. After all, this is what keeps your dress in place and gives the dress an important piece of its look. There are strapless looks, heart-shaped and halter-top looks. Remember that the straps on your dress will also affect your neckline: consider how much cleavage you really want to show. Remember that you want this dress to stay in place. If you have a large bust, heavy-duty straps are probably a brighter idea than a strapless look.

Keep the Length Right

The length of a dress will affect everything from the shape or look of a dress to how you move around a dance floor or even through the venue. If you are wearing a form-fitting gown that is quite long, it may make dancing and navigating crowds more difficult. This could be even trickier if your dress has a train on it. When you try on your dress on make sure you walk around, bend, sit down and dance to make sure you aren’t constricted. Doing such things will help you figure out whether or not a dress is right for you.

The 15 Best Websites to Buy Stylish Prom Dresses Online

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.

Long gone are the days of your mom dragging you around to department stores to try on a never-ending conga line of prom ‘fits (I, too, had that experience in a Macy's ). But if you want to avoid the awkwardly cramped dressing rooms, the searching through the racks, or running between multiple stores, you've come to the right place.

Everyone wants to bring their A-game to prom night and step out in style, but if you're wondering what the best prom dress websites to shop online are, we've got you covered. Prom night is the culmination of your entire high school career, a fashion-forward victory lap that allows you to strut your stuff and let loose before you move on to the next phase of your life. But before you hit the dance floor, there's a lot of planning to get through first, from booking a limo, to finding a date, and yes, picking that illusive perfect prom dress.

When you're shopping for prom dresses online, you'll want a website with plenty of options that offer affordable, on-trend pieces that'll help you stand out. For the 2024 season, we're seeing a lot of dresses that go big on tulle, flash bright with sequins and metallics , and go between grunge-y gothic and Barbiecore pink .

We've rounded up the best online retailers where you can find countless unique prom dresse s . Our top picks were chosen based on offering a range of budgets (such as Amazon ), inclusive sizing (like ASOS and Lulus ), as well as generally trustworthy, highly-rated non-prom-specific dress choices ( Nordstrom and Free People ). So kick up your heels (or your Converse!) and add to cart so you're ready for the big night.

Our Top Picks:  

BEST OVERALL: ASOS

FASTEST SHIPPING: Amazon

BEST AFFORDABLE: Lulus

BEST LUXE: Rent the Runway

MOST UNIQUE PICKS: Free People

Buy Curve one shoulder embellished midi dress $189

If you're looking for the hottest trends and the most unique styles for your prom look, ASOS has to be your pick. You're sure to stand out with non-traditional pieces like the metallic shine on this Twenties -style flapper dress, as well as modest fashion for those looking for a little more coverage. Not only are there plenty of options, ASOS's site is quite size-inclusive, and displays dresses on different bodies so you can get the full sense of what would look best on you (not to mention free returns for up to 14 days after you receive your order). No more having to dig through a rack to find a flattering design!

Buy V-neck Satin Dress $75.99

If you're already shopping for accessories like dangle earrings (or maybe even a mini tube of purse deodorant ) on Amazon, why not just go one step forward and pick your dress out? Yes, the everything store really does have everything when it comes to prom dress, from fluffy ball gowns, to sleek cocktail dresses, in practically every style, size, and color you can think of. Especially if it's creeping up to prom night and you've still got nothing to wear, two-day shipping with Prime is a life-saver.

That being said, check the description to make sure the fit is accurate, or that you're picking a well-rated and reviewed dress like this popular long, satin v-neck . Or use Prime Try Before You Buy , where you can choose up to six select styles and try them out for seven days, and only pay for what you keep (with free returns).

3. Free People

Buy For Love & Lemons Casey Maxi Dress $279

Free People has all the whimsical, boho-chic collections of dresses that will easily transition into becoming a part of your wardrobe long after prom night. Think flow-y florals, lots of lace, and tons of maxis - we're a sucker for the flirty, femme vibes of For Love & Lemons designs in particular. Their variety leans towards straight sizes, but their material quality and unique silhouettes (like this Wednesday-esque dress) make them a good pick in our book.

4. Nordstrom

Buy One-Shoulder Georgette Gown $97.30+

Nordstrom is clutch when it comes to basic, stylish staples like this One-Shoulder Georgette Gown from Adrianna Papell.

6. Anthropolgie

Buy Puff-Sleeve Pleated Midi Column Dress $425

Anthropologie's collection of formal prom dresses are fit to flatter on and off the dance floor.

7. Rent the Runway

rent sau lee camille gown $75+

It's understandable that you might not want to spend your money on a giant, ruffly ball gown that you may never wear again.
