Black Friday is the most famous discount day of the year—and for good reason! The day after Thanksgiving is notorious for slashed prices on everything like kitchen tools and interior design finds, and fashion is no exception. Luckily, many fashion retailers have marked down dozens of maxi, midi, and mini dresses over a week before Black Friday officially begins.

Black Friday marks the beginning of the holiday season, too, meaning there will be tons of festive parties to attend in weeks ahead. And with deals up to 80 percent off from Amazon, J.Crew, Target, and Walmart, you can splurge on a gift for the host as well as a dress (or two) for yourself. All maxi, midi, and mini dresses are under $50 and prices start at $13.
