Are you considering adding a few boutique dresses for summer to your wardrobe? Shorts are great for casual wear, but a woman needs a few dressier options in her closet just in case.

Boutique Dresses for Summer
You don’t want to show up at a party wearing the same dress is someone else. Shopping at an online boutique is one way to minimize the chance of that happening.
When choosing boutique dresses, you want to look for a lightweight summer fabric like polyester or cotton. This will help you feel cool and stay fresh even on the hottest summer day. Because they are lightweight, it’s easier to care for them when laundering as well.
When making your choice, be sure to look for a dress that is lined, at least in the bust area. The lining will help prevent the material from sticking to your legs or chest if you perspire.
Don’t think that you need to choose a short dress for summer time if you’d rather not. Longer dresses, like a slit maxi dress, can is a great summer style for those that don’t feel as confident in shorter dresses.
Summer is the perfect time to bare your shoulders in a strapless dress. Or if you’d rather, there are many cute styles with spaghetti straps or thicker shoulder straps can be just as alluring. Remember to bring along a wrap for cooler summer nights.
The hotter summer months are the ideal time to add a few pastels or florals to your wardrobe. A bold floral print just screams summer fun to me. Remember to choose at least one classic navy dress for evening wear. This is a must for cruise travel.
Lace can give almost any dress a summer feel. You don’t need to purchase a lace dress (although these are just gorgeous). Instead, you can choose boutique dresses with lace bodices or a lace overlay.

I love looking at dresses so I’ll pin this for later too. I have many lace dresses and sewed a few. I love the soft lace and bet they have a product to use on the stiff lace–have to look into that. I bet I could make some nice hair accessories with my scraps of lace!
I bet that would be gorgeous!
I am a dress FREAK! You I love hacking certain dresses and making something new!!! These are gorgeous!!!
I thought so too, Roxanne!
OMGoodness…I am in love with the majority of these dresses. They are definitely the kind of thing that I like to wear. I wish that sleeveless white one that is shown at the very top had a cap sleeve.
I’m partial to cap sleeves myself.
So many pretty styles!
