Whether you have one (or a few) in your closet or you have seen them pop up on your Instagram feed—there’s no denying milkmaid dresses are everywhere this summer. Puffed sleeves, square or sweetheart neckline, and usually mid-length—here are a few reasons why milkmaid dresses are one of our absolute favorite trends.

They Are a Great Transitional Piece

You have probably paired your milkmaid dress with sandals and SPF in the last couple of months, but the upcoming fall season doesn’t mean you have to cast it aside. Milkmaid dresses can work incredibly well paired with boots and a cropped jacket or sweater.

They Can Be Worn Up or Down

You can slip into your milkmaid dress for a daytime coffee date or a dinner date just the same—it all comes down to the fabric, print, and the accessories you pair it with.

They Are Super Fattering

One of the reasons milkmaid dresses became so popular and maintained their status for quite a while is that they are one of the most flattering styles around. They come in various shapes which complement different body types. Long, short, high-waisted, small, or puffy sleeves – just find the one that works for you.
