16 of the Best Easter Dresses to Turn Heads In at Brunch

1. Grace Karin Tea Dress

Best Overall Easter Dress

Want to look like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn? Say hello to this swanky little vintage-inspired number. Its A-line skirt will look good on just about any shape, though it's particularly flattering on those with pear body types, and the boat neckline will help to emphasize a small-to-medium bust and slender shoulders. There's a wide range of Easter-friendly colors and patterns to chose from (helllooo, polka dots), and the skinny belt that comes with select colors (including the pictured baby blue) is icing on the Easter cake.

2. Lulus Terrace Views Midi Dress

Best Midi Easter Dress

Hitting right at the mid-calf, this ruffled tiered frock will be plenty long enough for attending church with the kids. The ruffled sweetheart neckline and delicate shoulder ties are as sweet as they come, and the pretty-in-pink floral print and will stand out in your reels. Just note that the seamed bust works best for those with A to C cups, according to the brand, and the fitted hip means that those with fuller figures may want to size up.

3. Etcyy Off-the-shoulder Dress

Best Tiered Dress

Between the lightweight chiffon material and the pastel lilac hue, this tiered dress absolutely screams spring, making it a great option for Easter. The shoulder-baring neckline is flirty without being too over-the-top, and customers say it has just enough stretch for full free range of your arms but still stays in place where it's supposed to.

4. City Chic Lotus Faux Wrap Dress

Best Plus-Size Easter Dress

With sizes that equate to a 12W (XXS) up to a 26W (XXL), this faux wrap dress is one that plus-size women can wear with confidence. It's got a removable tie belt that will help to cinch in the waist and a wrap silhouette that's specifically designed to flatter cures. Beyond the fit, it's got a pretty floral print that's nice enough to dress up with some jewelry and heels for your Easter activities, but also suitable for dressing down as a daytime frock once the holiday is over. It's also lined, so you won't even need to add a slip underneath.

5.J. Crew Smocked Dress

Best Smocked Easter Dress

Smocked dresses, which include fabric that's gathered to one-third of its width and then sewn over the gathering to allow it to stretch, are largely unstructured, meaning they're absolutely clutch when it comes to comfort. The elastic bodice of this one keeps it from looking like a shapeless tent, and the recycled construction (it's made from plastic bottles, fabric scraps and the like) mean it's an Earth-friendly choice.

6. Hill House Home Ellie Nap Dress

Best Floral Easter Dress

Sitting a few inches below the knee (or above the ankle, depending on your height), this floral dress is saccharine, stylish and the ideal mate for your favorite pair of flats. The elastic smocking makes it maternity-friendly, but the feature that really seals the deal for us is the hidden side pockets (!). Combine it with a wide-brimmed hat, and you've got just the piece for an al fresco Easter brunch.

7. Kate Spade Flutter-sleeve Dress

Best Ruffle Dress

Bold and bright, the stunning coral hue of this ensemble will turn heads in the best way possible. The ponte fabric, which is a mix of rayon, polyester and spandex, is known for being forgiving—not clingy—yet still appears perfectly tailored. What's more, you can machine wash it on a delicate cycle after your brunch date, no dry cleaning required.

8. Joie Ora Dress

Best Silk Dress

If you're the type who's constantly overheating, this dress will be your new go-to for any and all special occasions—not just Easter. It's made of 100 percent pure silk, which is a great material for breathability, as it acts as a natural thermal regulator. There's also a slit at the center that will provide a bit of added ventilation. (We're breathing a sigh of relief already.) Sure, you'll need to dry clean it, but we think the comfort it provides will make it well worth the extra effort.

9. Lk Bennett Hendrick Dress

Best Modest Easter Dress

Coming from royal-favored brand LK Bennett (Kate Middleton basically serves as its poster girl), this dress may be on the conservative side, but it's still plenty Insta-worthy. Its striped green pattern was inspired by the gone-by era of the '60s, according to the company, and the slightly puffed sleeves help to balance out its flared skirt. There's also a decorative bow belt for an extra-lovely touch.

10. Astr Lace Dress

Best Lace Easter Dress

Lace always makes things a little more special, and this fit-and-flare gown, which features gorgeous floral embroidered lace, won't make you feel out of place at a fancy restaurant. The underlay ends at the upper thigh while the overlay extends down past your knees, giving you an elegant peekaboo effect. Note that it does run small, so customers recommend sizing up, though it does have adjustable straps.

11. Karen Millen Organdie Dress

Got broad shoulders or a fuller bust? Look to a halter neck style, like this one from Karen Millen. The triangular shape draws the eye up, and it ties at the back, leading down to an open keyhole. (Read: You'll look just as good going as you do coming in it.) You'll also get an extra 10 percent off on it right now when you enter coupon code EXTRA.

12. Reformation Ronan Dress

Best Bodycon Dress

Not into the loose, flowing fit of a smocked or tiered dress? No problem. This body-hugging Ronan piece will show off your figure in the most flattering way. The bodice is fitted, tucking your waist area in, while the skirt gets fuller at the bottom for comfortable movement. Better yet, the lace detailing at the hem puts an extra-pretty spin on this otherwise pure ivory gown.

13. Zesica Square-neck Easter Dress

Best Plaid Dress

Ever heard the expression, "mad for plaid?" It exists for a reason, and if you ask us, the reason is this dress. Between its pastel pattern, which you can nab in eight different shades, and its loose, flowy fit, it's everything we want to be wearing for an Easter egg hunt this year.

14. Acacia Cleo Mini Easter Dress

Best Trendy Dress

If you're OK with going a little shorter, this trendy pick will be right up your alley. It's made with 100 percent organic cotton from Indonesia, so it's nice and airy, and we love the longer puffed sleeves, which will keep your upper arms under wraps. The wrap silhouette is adjustable for a little extra breathing room, and there's a fetching keyhole back for intrigue.

15. Reformation Tagliatelle Dress

Best White Easter Dress

White doesn't have to be boring, and this 100 percent linen design from Reformation is picture-proof. Dainty details, like the barely there scalloped trim, hook-and-eye corset bodice and the smocked back add intrigue, while the A-line skirt and midi length keep things largely conservative. It's also a sustainable choice, since it uses basically zero water as far as its production is concerned.

16. Ecowish A-line Dress

Best A-Line Dress

With a skirt that's wider than its shoulders to form a triangle (sort of like a capital A—get it?), this is a classic design—it's been around since Christian Dior introduced a line bearing its name in 1955. ECOWISH offers a modern twist on the shape, however, with ruffled sleeves and a super-cinched, structured waistline. It comes in multiple spring shades, and shoppers say it "makes those curves pop." Just note that you may want to grab a slip for it, as the lighter colors can be a bit see-through.
