For most of us, that designer-made dress with an upper-hundreds price tag is more of a dream buy than a wardrobe essential — one that we won't be getting too much mileage out of once spring and summer come to an end. So, with an itch for something new but a budget in mind, we're taking a savvier approach to our skin-baring frock expenditures by finding just-as-lovely alternatives that still leave space on the balance sheet.
Ahead, summer's best dresses that look like a million bucks (but only cost under $100).
At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by the editorial team. If you buy something we link to on our site, Refinery29 may earn commission.
