Amazon Summer Dresses
I love wearing dresses! One of the biggest question I get from my readers is how to find an affordable summer dress that can be delivered quickly. I always answer Amazon when I get this question. Amazon Fashion has an endless selection of summer dresses (as well as other summer essentials) at a price point for every budget. Amazon Fashion carries a wide range of name brand pieces, and you just have to know how to find what you have in mind. It becomes easier to find that perfect dress if you know the style you want. Do you want a maxi dress or a midi dress? Are ruffled dresses your style or do you much prefer a delicate lace dress? What color do you want? With these answers in mind, your quest for the perfect dress becomes much easier.
Adelyn Rae Women’s Vanessa Woven Printed Fit and Flare Dress
I discovered the Adelyn Rae brand when I found this dress I posted about in the spring. The dress was so nice and I was so impressed with the quality that I decided to purchase this Adelyn Rae Vanessa fit and flare dress. I am always looking for petite-friendly midi/maxi dresses and this one stood out to me for a number of reasons. The floral print is so pretty and I love the mix of bright colors! This dress has a high-low design, so it falls below my knees in the front and goes down almost to my ankles in the back. It is fitted at the waist, and this highlights my natural curves. I am wearing my typical XS and this dress fits very well.
Ruffle Dresses
So what are some other great summer dress styles? Ruffle dresses are some of my favorite dresses to wear. They are pretty and feminine and will make any woman look and feel great. Amazon has so many nice ruffled dresses too! I love this Likely Sorel ruffled dress with its subtle floral design. I posted about this J.O.A ruffled wrap dress here, and I received so many complements when I wore it! And how gorgeous is this Cynthia Rowley Wallflower ruffle tie midi dress? See below for more of my favorite ruffle dresses from Amazon:

Midi Dresses
As a petite woman, my preference is to wear mini dresses. It can be so hard to find a well-fitting midi or maxi dress. The Adelyn Rae Vanessa fit and flare dress is a midi dress that is actually petite-friendly. I love this Donna Morgan tie shoulder lace midi dress. And this classy and elegant French Connection floral midi dress would be perfect for a stroll through Paris. Amazon has so many nice midi dresses for summer.

Mini Dresses
You see me posting about mini dresses most often. That is because an a-line mini dress is most flattering on a petite frame. And in hot summer weather a mini dress works well. I love this French Connection mini dress with it’s feminine lace detail. And this Donna Morgan lace fit and flare dress is simply striking!

White Dresses
And last but not least, you cannot go wrong with a white dress in the summertime. White is so crisp and clean, and when you put one on you feel instantly refreshed. Some of my favorite white dresses from Amazon Fashion include this Dress The Population spaghetti strap midi dress, this Kendall+Kylie one shoulder flutter dress, and this elegant Yumi Kim maxi dress. Any of these dresses would be perfect for a sunset walk on the beach, a lunch or dinner date, or even a shower.

So stylish, April! I just love Amazon!!
Thank you so much Louisa!
That’s the type of dress you want to just TWIRL AND TWIRL AGAIN in!!!
Thank you so much Gigi!
Vous donnez de bons conseils! Effectivement, quand on est petite, le mi-long et le long ne sont pas flatteurs. J’aime l’imprimé de la robe que vous portez, elle est virevoltante et fraîche comme une brise d’été. Le fait qu’elle marque votre taille va à votre silhouette.
En France, cet été, les fleurs, les rayures et l’imprimé tropical sont à la mode. le sac que vous portez est aussi à la mode.
Les températures sont elles toujours aussi chaudes dans le midwest ?
Merci beaucoup! Tu es toujours si gentil! Les fleurs, les rayures et les imprimés tropicaux sont également populaires ici. La température est finalement plus fraîche, mais j’aime vraiment le temps chaud!
I love the colors of that dress, actually I love that dress ! So nice !
