The Best Places to Buy Dresses for Every Budget
As someone who’s been to approximately 15 weddings this year (including my own)—not to mention countless rehearsal dinners, showers, work events, and parties—you could say I know a thing or two about shopping for dresses. So when I was tasked with writing this post on the best places to find them, it took all but about 10 seconds for me to round up my favorites. Whether you’re looking for something trendy but affordable from Zara or want to invest in a designer piece by way of Net-a-Porter, we’ve got you covered, and we've added in a bit of intel on what each option is best for.
See what other websites made the list of the best places to buy dresses online below, and do some shopping while you’re at it.
Shopbop
Whether you're looking for a high-fashion favorite or want to save on a affordable find, Shopbop has you covered—it’s a one-stop shop with a wide array of brands.Available in sizes XS to L.
Revolve
While Revolve excels in all categories (just check out their Instagram for proof), if you ask us, they’re especially good for LBDs. See the proof above and on the next couple slides.Available in sizes XXS to XL.
FWRD
While they may be sister sites, FWRD differs from Revolve both in price point and brand selection. It’s our go-to for non-basic pieces from both established and emerging designers, as well as the best styling inspiration.Available in sizes 34 to 40.
Zara
While Zara needs little introduction, let us remind you while it certainly has Wholesale Replica Bag in trendy pieces, it’s also always stocked with affordable classics.Available in sizes XS to L.
Reformation
You may associate Reformation with crop tops and summery minidresses (and yes, it continues to kill it in those categories), it has also expanded its offerings to include amazing evening wear. In other words, it’s got you covered from day to night—literally.Available in sizes 0 to 12.
Net-a-Porter
Last but certainly not least, we have Net-a-Porter, a longtime favorite for all things luxury. In recent years, however, the e-tailer has added more affordable and under-the-radar brands to its roster, making it even more of a destination to flock to.Available in sizes IT36 to IT44.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
