Astr the Label Floral Puff Sleeve Cutout Dress

This spring seems to be about pumping up the volume—on your sleeves, that is. This little floral dress deserves attention and was meant to be seen. The open-back detail and sweet asymmetrical ruffle hem are just a few of the lovely airy details we find ourselves drawn to.

Treasure & Bond Seamed Organic Cotton T-Shirt Dress

The classic T-shirt dress is a staple in every season. It's oh-so easy to throw on and go, whether you team it with espadrilles and a straw bag or sneakers and a casual jacket. It's crafted from 100-percent organic cotton and has a relaxed silhouette that still feels refined.

Billabong Heart Breaker Tie Strap Floral Mini Sundress

Make way for an ultra-femme, dainty little sundress. The tie spaghetti straps will let you control the length, and despite the weightless viscose fabric, it's fully lined, so you don't have to worry about revealing too much.

Floret Studios Smocked Cutout Cotton Sundress

From the exaggerated drop waist ruched bodice to the sultry side slit on the ruffled skirt, this beautiful cotton frock has won our hearts. The sunkissed yellow hue embodies spring, and the thoughtful back cutout detail is low enough that it won't show your bra.

French Connection Enora Breya Verona Floral Ruched Dress

We've found the adorable yet chic party dress of your dreams. Decked out in plenty of ruffles and ruching, this mini-dress screams spring, from the dainty, mismatched purple and lilac floral prints to the leggy cut. Better yet, you can snap up this whimsical style in sizes 2 through 12.

French Connection Bronwyn Aleeya Satin Wrap Dress

A flattering wrap dress will be your best friend this season and the piece that might get the most wear in your wardrobe. An attention-grabbing brown and white pattern combined with the silky polyester fabric guarantees an easy, elegant look. The midi length also makes it appropriate for various events, and the button clasp in the front provides extra security along with the double lining.

Adidas Three-Stripes Lifestyle Minidress

That's right—dresses can be sporty, and this teeny Adidas style proves it. It comes in spring-friendly shades like lilac and bold yellow to energize your wardrobe with colorful flair. The cotton-elastane blend also ensures that the dress has a good amount of give, while still hugging you in all the right places.
