Dresses with grown-up hemlines, under $150 edition

4

When I did my spring edition of dresses with grown-up hemlines a little while back, several of you weighed in to say you’d like to see some more reasonably-priced specimens, and so I bring you just that, starting with this rather elegant wrap dress in a nice light camel hue.

An embroidered smocked dress that looks like the easiest thing to throw on ever.

And I love the graceful empire waist on this pretty floral crepe number.

The smocking and puffy shoulders here are girly flourishes I don’t typically go for but very much like in this case.

Smart buttons line the side of this simple and pretty linen dress.

This has a peasant-top-ish vibe I like, and the dusty rose hue is pretty good too.

A flattering twist detail dress that looks ready-made for Zoom meetings.

This white dress actually has a very, very light plaid print that really makes it.

This printed belted dress looks so fancy, but in reality it rings in at just a speck over $125.

 

This oversized crisp white shirtdress is so out of my playbook it’s not even funny.

Such a pretty floral and a really feminine shape.

    Yay, thank you for this! I buy most of my dresses vintage on Etsy lately because it’s so hard to find good quality, affordable clothes. Some of these are great.

    Even though I don’t wear sleeveless anything anymore, that Madewell linen blend is so perfect I may just pull out my credit card anyway.

    Why is & Other Stories so hostile to anyone of average size or above? It’s not like they have some principled commitment to minimizing fabric usage or anything.
