I have a hot take to share with you all: If I could only keep one type of clothing for the rest of my life, it might be dresses. They’re just so versatile. They can be dressed up or dressed down, and they really work for any occasion in life, whether it be casual or formal. Plus, wearing a dress means only having to put on one piece of clothing. OK, so what’s one of my closet staples? Madewell dresses. 

Although I’m a major budget shopper, I do think there are certain items that are worth a little bit more of an investment. Easy, comfortable, and cute dresses definitely fall into this category because I always know that I’ll get a ton of wear out of them. I know that shopping at Madewell means I can get high-quality dresses that I’ll own forever. Their selection is always so cute, and I’m consistently impressed by both the quality and versatility. Madewell also has a huge variety of dress styles, including everything from casual, everyday options to dressier ones for special occasions. 

I believe that every woman should have a few go-to dresses in their wardrobe that they can always rely on, and Madewell is the perfect place to find them. And as a special treat to our readers—and to help you build the dress collection of your dreams—you can get $25 off your Madewell purchase of $125 or more with the code TheEverygirl.

Our editors have been eyeing and discussing this linen-blend midi since the beginning of summer. It's the absolute perfect shade of green, and the smocked bodice paired with the flutter sleeves makes it the cottage-core dress of our dreams. Wear it for a weekend brunch or a picnic in the park, or throw on some heels and wear it to a late summer wedding.
