I Rarely Spend Huge Amounts on Dresses—Here Are 36 Affordable Frocks I Love

Dresses are my favourite thing to shop for. More often than not, I'll return trousers or tops based on their unpredictable fit, but I find it easier to tell whether a dress will fit and suit me, even if I only have a product shot to go by. Another plus side of dresses is I find that you don't need to spend a fortune to find a really beautiful one.
Handily, I've become a dab hand at spotting a great affordable dress. Putting my skills to the test, below, I've curated an edit of affordable dresses that you'll wear now and throughout the next few months.
It's worth noting that one person's idea of what's affordable will always differ from the next, but with standout dresses from as little as £25 (from H&M no less) and peaking at £175, these dresses really are worth every penny but I'll let you find that out for yourself.
Regardless, with prints so pretty and colours so bold, this list is sure to have at least one dress you love. Before you reach it, I've also rounded up some fashionable people who also have a soft spot for affordable dresses. Enjoy!
SOME OF MY FAVOURITE INFLUENCERS IN AFFORDABLE DRESSES
Lydia wears a black knitted dress from H&M.
Lucy wears a scoop-back dress from COS.
Sade wears a bold red dress from Kitri.

Chloé wears an orange knitted dress from House of Sunny.
Francesca wears a ruffle dress from Ghost.
