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.

Editor-at-Large

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. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
