I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Tuckernuck—one of PureWow editors' go-to shops for fabulous frocks—just kicked off its massive end-of-summer sample sale and it includes a slew of majorly marked-down dresses that'll take you well into fall in style.

Whether you’re looking for a gorgeous wedding guest dress you can wear in October, or a casual piece you can don at your local fall festival, Tuckernuck has everything you need for every occasion...at a really good discount.

Trust me when I say you’ll want to pick up these styles (including the viral tweed shift inspired by Jackie O.) before they inevitably sell out, so I took on the challenge of hunting down seven chic pieces to help you get started.

Sporty meets dressy in this cute collared polo dress, which has a flirty ruffled hem and a 100 percent cotton construction that's ideal for crisp fall days. "I'm loving this fabric. This dress fits me perfectly, and I can dress it up or down," raves one buyer, though some say you may need to size up so that it's not too short. Otherwise, this is the perfect dress to throw on and go while still feeling put-together.

This bright blue tweed dress doesn't just look expensive, it *feels* expensive—just ask PureWow Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida who took it for a twirl herself last fall. In addition to its sturdy tweed construction, this style has beautifully braided accents and glamorous gold crest buttons, which create the illusion of pockets on the bodice. Meanwhile, the shift silhouette feels tailored but wears effortlessly, meaning you won't have to sacrifice comfort for elegance. So, if you want to look as classy as its namesake Jackie O., you know what to do.

Between the ruffled shoulders and autumnal floral print, this aptly named number simply screams "fall romance." It features a button-down, body-skimming design, with pleated details at the waist to make the silhouette all the more flattering (something a slew of shoppers will attest to). I can see this beauty stealing the show at a garden party or sunset soiree, so don't skip your chance to add it to your closet at this price.

This floral-print mini is equal parts laid-back and ladylike. Made of a lightweight polyester material with a viscose lining that keeps you cool and comfortable, it has a swingy fit that's plenty flattering and versatile enough to dress up or down. It's no wonder buyers are in love: "Beautiful material! Super comfortable and great length,” writes one. That's music to my ears—and so is that $69 price tag.

For less than $130, this cotton poplin number is totally worth grabbing to show off at all your early fall events. The scoop neck, fitted bodice and removable tie belt are all features that slim and elongate, and there's smocking at the back to provide some comfortable stretch. One buyer says, "This dress is so beautiful...I have a short torso so the dropped waist is very flattering on me." And the movement of the skirt? Swoon.

Say hello to your new favorite shift dress. Thanks to the gorgeous floral motif and side seam pockets, this mod mini is sure to bring the wow factor at all of those fall weddings you have coming up. Thankfully, it's lined, so you don't have to worry about wearing a slip underneath. "Also, if you are in early pregnancy and want to hide it, it will do that because the fabric is thick and isn’t clingy," one buyer adds. In that case, it's great for dinner parties, too!

Thanks to this magical sale, this Barbie pink button-down dress is—wait for it—only $29! Not only that, it fits nicely, and reviewers say they love wearing it to work, dinner or any other place that requires semi-dressy attire. One shopper raves, "I bought this dress in navy blue for a wedding in Austin last year and wore it with cowboy boots. TONS of compliments! It flows nicely and is very roomy but doesn't look like you're wearing something too big." FYI, it's made of a polyester crepe material that's prime for layering come colder temps.
