I don’t know about you but I feel like I wait all winter for the nice weather to come just so I can dig into my favorite summer dresses in my closet. There is something about a great dress that can completely transform your entire day. Your mood, your look, everything. Whether your plan is to hit your local music festival, a summery evening rooftop party or maybe a good friends wedding, we have a dress that will work perfectly for your event. From colorful prints to bright whites and dark hues, our ladies collection has it all. Some fitted and sexy, some gorgeous and flowing and some just plain comfortable and made for summer lounging. Without further ado, here is a list of our faves.

There is nothing better than a good summer night and finding the perfect dress to go with it can make it even better. Rooftop cocktails, patio fun or a summer wedding – we have just what you are looking for. Dress them up, dress them down, either way you will be looking your best.
