This Carefree Summer Dress Is A Head-Turner, And It’s On Sale In 21 Colors

The Kentucky Derby may have come and gone, but don’t worry, you can take your Churchill Downs style into summer! That lightweight spring dress you bought (because you didn’t want to be sweating at the race track) will transition perfectly into summer’s heat. This pretty little maxi paired well with your Derby hat and delivered the right amount of sexy without revealing your untanned spring legs. And now that it’s summer, the same flowy dress will keep you cool while sipping a boat drink with sand between your toes.

Prettygarden Cross Neck Sleeveless Tiered Maxi Dress

The perfect dress needs to check all the spring and summer boxes: horse race attire, farmer’s market throw-and-go, and beachside staple—and this Prettygarden’s Cross Neck Sleeveless Tiered Maxi Dress is it. It’s simple yet feminine and has plenty of little design details that all add to create an easy-to-wear yet beautiful dress for various occasions. The feminine cross-neck design shows off the perfect amount of décolleté, and the ties at the shoulders allow for adjustments, making it an ideal fit for all body types. Plus, the slenderizing smocked waist flatters any figure before draping into a full, flowy A-line skirt that falls in step with the boho vibe that feels just as chic, too. “I am 7 months pregnant and it is so comfortable and flattering,” shared one shopper. “It’s got nice elasticity, the fit is spot on, not too long and I’m short.” 

Available in 21 colors, including a nude pink and a beautiful sage green, this dress can be fancied up or down, too, depending on the occasion. Throw it over a bathing suit, wear it with flip-flops, and pair it with a market tote for a day at the beach. Or dress it up with dangling earrings and chunky platform espadrilles for an outdoor wedding or formal affair. 

The lightweight fabric allows this travel staple to be packed neatly in a suitcase, and it also keeps you cool in the summer (even for a maxi dress) without showing sweat. It’s so easy to take care of, too;  simply tumble dry on low, or steam it, to remove the wrinkles before wearing. 

One five-star reviewer confirmed the easy-to-wear nature of the dress, saying, “This was perfect for my engagement photos! I had to steam it, but it steamed easily and didn’t wrinkle in the car on the way to the photo shoot.” She also added that the elastic waist gives some wiggle room to size up or down. Another shopper called this dress a “wedding staple” and said she adjusted the straps to be more of a drop waist with a plunge and received so many compliments. 

This dress won’t last long on Amazon, so grab this versatile summer dress before the sale ends. You’ll end up buying it in another color before horse racing season rolls around again next spring!
