Top Summer Dresses for 2019
Customized Dresses
One of my favorite places to get dresses online is from eShakti. They have gorgeous really reasonably priced custom dresses. I ordered a bunch of their dresses with a 40% off code. You can see them right here. I liked them so much and posted them online that the company contacted me about sending me a free dress. Of course, I jumped at the chance because they fit me so well.
As a women with an hourglass figure, I find that a lot of dresses don’t fit me properly. If they fit my top they are too loose on my waist. If they fit my bottom, they are too big on top. I usually end up falling in love with dresses that are ill fitting and feel devastated when I have to put them back or so desperate to find something for an occasion that I end up buying the dress anyway.
eShakti Coupon – 40% off First Order
As part of the customization process, for most dresses you can choose the neckline, sleeve length, and dress length. You can get 40% off your first order here without an eShakti coupon or promo code. They take 40% off for new customers automatically. As I said, I took full advantage of the discount and ordered 4 dresses that are custom fit for me. I ordered these dresses as a regular customer (not a blogger) so that I could assess the service from a customers perspective. Read the article here.
Dresses with Pockets
Did I mention that all the eShakti dresses have pockets?! The discovery of these reasonably priced tailor made dresses has changed my life and I am will definitely be ordering a few eShakti dresses every season from now on!
Tropical Print Crepe Surplice Dress
Casual Summer Dresses
This summer dress is perfect for a casual summer look. I found this basic dress on the Aritzia. You can easily wear it as a coverup or for a casual summer outing. It is also from Wilfred Free and is made of Wilfred Free’s signature fabric, Reposa™. It is a V-neck dress with a drop shoulder and trapeze silhouette. The Reposa™ fabric, a soft jersey knit that drapes beautifully. 
Another dress that I am absolutely in love with for summer is this button down dress from Aerie. I bought it at the mall in the coral color and have been dying to order another color now that it is on sale. Its sooo comfortable and chic! It is smocked on top so that it form fits whatever size you wear and it also has pockets! I have also included a pic from the site. They are showing the dress worn as cover up with a matching bathing suit. Although, I have not tried it yet, but I am dying to do it!
Boho Summer Dresses
Over the summer, I love to wear boho summer dresses that look great with straw bags. This blue dress that I am wearing, I found on Amazon. It is extremely comfortable and I have gotten a thousand compliments on it IRL and online. I normally wear a size 14 and ordered a size extra large in this dress. It runs true to size and is only $24.99.
Also, this fun summer dress from Nordstrom is reasonably priced and is very on trend in mustard yellow. You can easily wear it all summer long with the buttons opened or closed and then in the fall with tights and boots. I am dying to rock this dress with cute booties. This is the link to the dress that is now on sale. They seem to be selling fast so here is another similar dress just in case.
