28 Gorgeous Spring Dresses Under $200

by Caitlin Burnett

Although it may not feel that way, spring has officially sprung and warmer days are coming. So given that we're all hanging out at home right now, daydreaming of spring activities, online shopping might be at the forefront of our minds. That being said, I've noticed during my many, many hours of retail scrolling (some work-related, some not) that there's an amazing selection of affordable dresses whose price tag truly shocked me—in a good way, of course.

I usually take a look at an item and involuntarily make a price assumption based on its appearance, and I've been very pleasantly surprised at the price tags of so many of these spring styles. From the chic Reformation wrap dress I already added to my cart to the Free People minidress with the prettiest back cutout, I decided these affordable finds were too good not to share. Below, I'm highlighting the 28 best cheap spring dresses that look significantly more expensive than they are.
