15+ Gorgeous Dresses with Puffed Sleeves

This blue and white gingham midi dress with puff sleeves is a charming choice for a summer wedding. The unique puff sleeves bring a hint of femininity, and the V-neck is perfect for showing off your favorite necklace. This is a dress you can wear again and again, whether dressed up with heels and statement accessories for your upcoming wedding or paired with sandals for a casual daytime look. I paired it with this straw handbag, which is one of my favorites for this summer!

One of the reasons I love dresses so much is because they are so comfortable, and this one is sooo comfy! It is roomy and not clingy but still cute and feminine. I ordered the dress in a medium instead of my usual large, and it is a little too tight through the chest. It comes in so many prints and colors that I had a hard time choosing which one to add to my cart!

This flowy lace tiered midi dress is an excellent choice for a summer wedding for women of all ages. The gorgeous lace detailing adds an elegant touch, while the tiered design creates a breezy silhouette. The lightweight fabric allows for comfortable movement and breathability, making it ideal for outdoor or warm-weather celebrations. I selected light blue, but it comes in 16 colors, so you can choose the perfect shade to compliment your complexion, hair, or wedding colors.

I’m just going to keep singing the praises of this white belted shirt dress. It’s full of feminine details like puffed sleeves and a fun pom pom trim running along each tier. I ordered a size medium, and it fits really well! I am a big fan of the midi length on myself. It’s not so short that it shows off the parts of the legs that a lot of us are self-conscious about (like cellulite or crepey knees).

This hot pink is simply singing my name for summer! Isn’t it stunning? Don’t forget to pair this dress and all of your other summer outfits with the perfect faux tan (you can see my tips for that here!).

This dreamy square neck sundress is from one of my favorite brands available on Amazon. I’ve ordered a ton of products from them, and they are typically very well-constructed!

Here’s a puff-sleeve dress from one of my favorite retailers! This fit-and-flare dress from Talbots has a flattering waist tie and stunning sapphire blue seersucker fabric. This dress, right below the length, is my absolute favorite during the warmer months because it covers my knees but is short enough to keep me from getting hot.

If you love this feminine smocked midi dress, you might want to grab it in multiple colors because it comes in sooo many great ones! The navy would be a great choice year-round, but I absolutely love the light purple and the rose shades for spring and summer.

Can you say gorgeous? Avara is a new-to-me brand that I’ve just started shopping in the last several months, and I was in love scrolling through their new releases. This puff sleeve dress will look great for absolutely anything on your calendar, from a luncheon to a casual wedding!

If you don’t love smocked dresses, how do you feel about dresses with pleated skirts? I am a big fan, but I love girly details that take a dress from boring to chic. I was absolutely shocked when I saw the price tag on this one, as it’s less than $15!

This cotton-blend midi from Anne Klein absolutely screams elegance and class. It would serve as a great LBD in your closet, perfect for anything from a funeral to a date night. You can easily change up the vibes by mixing and matching colorful or textured accessories!

I get major boho vibes every time I see a dress or top with tassels, and this short sleeve striped dress is no exception! This is one of those pieces that you could pair with white sneakers to run to the store, and then switch them out for a nude block heel or wedge for a girl’s night out.

Here’s another dress I absolutely love from Avara! I love, love, love the stunning blue and white floral print. It reminds me of a pretty chinoiserie vase.

I know some of you gurls like a shorter dress length, so I wanted to include some for you. This chambray dress is full of pretty details that will look sweet for a brunch or bridal shower. The deep v-neck is perfect for showcasing your favorite necklace.

I know the Fourth of July is several months away, but that’s the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this fun red dress from Avara. I can’t get enough of the embroidered detailing. I love how they’ve styled it with sandals, so you can see how easy it is to style this dress for different events.
