　　 Mia Assisi Indigo Dress

Buy Now Meg Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: While I’ve attended my fair share of spring and summer weddings, every time a new invite arrives in my mailbox, I’m lost as to what to wear. Luckily, I’ve secured the ideal dress that can just as easily be dressed down for a Sunday brunch or worn with heels for my friend’s upcoming wedding. The classic A-line silhouette is so flattering, while the smocked top offers a comfortable and flexible fit. The breathable cotton fabric feels light and airy even on a hot summer day, and the oversized bows on the straps add the perfect amount of intrigue.

　　 Rosie Positano Ice Dress 

Buy Now Bridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: This is the ultimate wedding guest dress for spring and summer. It’s lightweight, comfortable, and flattering thanks to its cotton cambric fabric and flutter sleeves. The smocked top accentuates my waist, while the flowy A-line skirt is perfect for dancing and keeping cool. I’m absolutely obsessed with the color and pattern, as it has an Italy-inspired design that’s unlike anything else in my closet. At 5 feet tall, I have to wear heels with the dress, so I’m considering getting it hemmed to style it with sneakers and sandals this summer.

　　 Mia Positano Lemon Dress

Buy Now Lauren Fischer, Senior Partnerships Editor: I’m petite at just 5 feet tall, so often, long flowy dresses drag on the ground or overwhelm my frame. This one hit just above my ankles and provided a flattering fit thanks to its smocked top and breezy skirt. It’s not lined, which makes it very breathable for the hot summer months. I love the adjustable straps that also provide a playful bow detail once they’re tied. The dress feels fitted yet flexible which makes it super comfortable. Plus, I can wear it with heels or slip-on sandals when I want a casual yet put-together look.

　　 Mia Grand Villa Rose Dress

Buy Now Bridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: Now that I know how beautiful and breathable the dresses in the Dolce Vita collection are, I’m eyeing a few more to add to my warm-weather wardrobe. Similar to the Rosie style I love, the Mia dress has a smocked bodice and tiered skirt, but the flowy sleeves are replaced with the self-tie straps that create a romantic bow detail on your shoulders. I love the grand villa rose pattern, but it comes in three other options, too. This dress would be an excellent choice for garden party-themed events and vacation date nights.

　　 Giselle Tuscan Gardens Navy Dress

Buy Now Bridget Degnan, Partnerships Editor: Cutouts are a little out of my comfort zone, but this dress exposes the right amount of skin for a sophisticated look. Plus, the design is flattering on the waist and allows airflow to keep you cool in the heat. The Giselle dress has butterfly sleeves, a V-neckline, and an ankle-length silhouette that’s ideal for pairing with flat sandals or heels. I can picture myself wearing it to wedding rehearsals and receptions, for drinks with my husband, and so much more.

　　 Maria Como Rouge Dress

Buy Now Meg Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: The Maria Como Rouge Dress is an effortless yet statement-making style that exudes charm. The pink and red design coupled with the puffy sleeves creates an air of romance while the smocked top is universally flattering and comfortable. The dress, which comes in three other pattern options, is perfect for a variety of occasions, including everything from a casual summer afternoon lunch to a European vacation or rehearsal dinner.

　　 Leah Tuscan Gardens Primrose Dress

Buy Now Meg Schaltegger, Partnerships Writer: I am of the personal philosophy that you can never have too many floral dresses for summer, which is why this whimsical mini dress is at the top of my wishlist right now. The Tuscan Gardens Primrose pattern was practically made for an outdoor wedding or date night. The A-line design defines the waist at just the right spot, while the off-the-shoulder bubble sleeves add the perfect flirty touch.
