Popular women’s dress silhouettes

Women’s dresses offer versatility, fashion, and comfort from winter to spring. From women’s work dresses with matching blazers to festive women’s sweater dresses for the ultimate fall look, independent sellers on Etsy have a vast range of dress designs that’ll stand out in any women’s clothing collection. Below are some of the most popular dress silhouettes you’ll find: A-line: One of the most popular dress silhouettes, women’s A-line dresses are form-fitted on the top and flare out at the waistline. Their overall design is triangular, similar to the capital letter A. The silhouette of these women’s cocktail dresses works well with several materials, from tweed to linen. Bodycon: Featuring an extremely form-fitting shape from top to bottom, women’s bodycon dresses accentuate each and every curve. Flirty and alluring, bodycon dresses can be anywhere from mini- to maxi-length. Empire: Typically seen on women’s evening dresses, the empire dress silhouette is fitted to just underneath the bust, with the rest of the dress hanging loosely at the same width. Most empire dresses are floor length. Vintage empire dresses transport you to another century, making them ideal for cosplay conventions and costume parties. Maxi: Popular and pretty women’s maxi dresses have a flowing design reaching all the way to your ankles or—occasionally—to the floor. They pair well with belts, statement jewelry, and wedge heels. Shirt: Offering a slightly retro vibe, women’s shirt dresses include the typical features of a dress shirt, including buttons and a collar. They can have short sleeves or long sleeves and typically feature a slim belt at the waist that matches the fabric of the dress. Sun: Great for picnics, beaches, or festivals, women’s sundresses typically feature thin straps, a plunging neckline, and a flowy mid-length skirt. Some women’s summer dresses are longer and feature a tall slit. Wrap: A great women’s casual dress, wrap dresses have a fitted inner side with a loose side that crosses over the bodice and ties at the waist. This silhouette offers a timeless look that works at brunch with friends, an outdoor wedding, or a first date.

How to choose the perfect dress

The perfect dress for you is one you’ll love to wear again and again, expresses your personal style, and boosts your confidence. Look for dresses that can be worn for different occasions by adding various accessories. A loose-fitting tropical cotton dress with flip flops and a sunhat at the beach transforms into a dinner date showstopper with a metal belt, hoop earrings, and sandal heels. A classic black dress is always in style, whether you’re headed to a cocktail party or a farmer’s market. Dress it up by pairing it with statement jewelry and vintage shoes, or style it for every day with low-top sneakers and a denim jacket. Women's long-sleeve dresses range from professional to casual. They work best in colder weather, pairing well with your favorite fall boots or a hand-knit scarf in winter. From rehearsal dinners to family occasions, women's dinner dresses offer comfort and style for upscale restaurants to formal dinner events and ceremonies. Try a women's boho dress for a trendy design that works well for any occasion, or a jewel-toned women’s formal dress with vintage jewelry for a timeless look. Vintage-inspired women’s party dresses have playful designs and vibrant patterns that keep you dancing, chatting, and having a blast until the party's over. Whether you want art-deco-inspired, mid-century magical, or dazzling disco, you’ll find it browsing shops on Etsy.

Can you buy custom dresses on Etsy?

You’ll discover many different styles of women’s dresses from independent sellers on Etsy, including styles designed and made just for you.

Frida Kahlo dress for art event or gallery opening
Andrea Vaughan

5 out of 5 stars

"I was unsure about sizing and decided to trust the measurements rather than the size number - and even then I'm thinking I could have gone one higher. I was also surprised to learn that these dresses are NOT made in the UK but the shop is based in the UK - not quite the same thing. A little disappointing to be misled like this. However, the quality of the fabric is great, the length is great, and communication with the seller was pretty good too."
