As a shopping editor, I've spent the past two days scanning through thousands of deals in order to curate the most refined selection of worthwhile discounts so you don't have to. Already, our editors have picked out their wish list buys, deep-dived into standout beauty cabinet deals and celebrated a selection of tech that can be snapped up for less right now. Along the way, I found myself absent-mindedly saving a selection of dresses that aren't on sale to my Amazon wish list to scroll through later. In turn, I've curated a refined edit of great summer dresses that may not have a discount in the Prime Day Sale, but I'd happily pay full price for.

Finding expensive-looking buys on Amazon takes patience and a touch of insider knowledge. After years of covering Amazon buys, I'm well acquainted with the brands that I know do premium design really well, and when curating a summer wardrobe, that's where I head first.

Two such brands are Amazon's own The Drop and a smaller label, Grace Karin, which consistently deliver on elevated fashion buys. I also recently discovered Grecerelle, who has a plethora of sunny day dresses in pretty shades and neutrals to see you through the warmest days. With another heatwave underway and plenty more sunshine to come, dresses are at the forefront of my mind, and top of my shopping list. My requirements for any great dress are a polished look, throw-on silhouette and elevated details that set it apart. Every single one of these dresses ticks all the boxes.
