Keep reading and grab some of your own cottagecore dresses to don the trend that's certainly the talk of the ton!
Free People Marina Baby Doll Dress
The babydoll style of dress was shown repeatedly throughout Bridgerton season 2! We saw it on the Sharma sisters, Daphne, and even Penelope! It's such a classic cottagecore silhouette, and I love how simple this Free People one is! Definitely adding this one to cart!
House of CB Broderie Anglaise Corset Bodice Minidress
Corsets are a must when it comes to the cottagecore aesthetic. I love how modernized this dress from House of CB, given the babydoll silhouette and bow detailing! House of CB is another great brand where you'll find amazing cottagecore picks for less event-specific needs and a more day-to-day style!
Target Ruffle Trim Slip Mini Babydoll Dress
Looking to try this trend on a budget!? Target has so many lines that give off a casual cottagecore vibe, and I love the pattern of this mini babydoll dress specifically. Toss this on for a trip to the farmer's market or a daytime date!
Abercrombie and Fitch Emerson Poplin Dress
You can't go wrong with a classic midi floral dress, and this one is no different! I love how on-trend and stylish Abercrombie operates these days. They're slowly becoming a favorite brand of mine, especially for their daytime dresses like this summery poplin one!
Petal and Pup Belle Swiss Tiered Tulle Dress
Say hello to the perfect wedding guest dress! I'm in love with the pastel blue color, along with the tiered tulle skirt! You can't get more cottagecore than this! Petal and Pup is a great brand that I would definitely recommend for any of your cottagecore needs!
House of CB Adabella Floral Pleated Halter Sundress
You know this dress is good when it was deemed Bella Hadid-worthy! She has this halter dress in white, and obviously she looked like a cottagecore princess when she rocked it! We love the floral version for some added pops of color this summer!
Free People Delia Asymmetric Raw Hem Cotton Dress
I love a simple mini dress to throw on for those hot summer days when you want to be comfortable, but still look a little put together. This babydoll dress from Free People is the perfect example of that — and in classic cottagecore fashion. Free People consistently does a great, casual take on the trend and really embodies a more effortless cottagecore style.
En Saison Egret Floral Cotton Maxi Dress
I'm in love with all of the details on this dress from the floral pattern, to the drop waist, and even the beautiful bow ties! It's pure, girly perfection! Plus, the smocked top paired with the flowing skirt is a summer must-have.
Forever That Girl Midi Dress
Buttons really help to embody cottagecore in a vintage way — so many dresses from that era had long rows of buttons or laced-up corsets along the back! This dress would be perfect styled with some cute sandals or even some black mary janes!
Target Bishop Long Sleeve Fit and Flare Dress
Another Target find that is SUCH a gem! Long sleeves like these look so classy and embody the cottagecore aesthetic to a tee! The baby doll shape of the dress and the lilac color looks straight out of Bridgerton season 2!
Petal and Pup Floret Bow Strap Midi Sundress
I can't say no to tulle! This beautiful dress is made to be the diamond of the season with its stunning organza fabric and bow shoulder ties! Daphne Bridgerton would sooo wear this stunning little cottagecore number.
Abercrombie and Fitch Lace-Up Back Tiered Maxi Dress
The bold colors in this dress really stand out, taking on a fun twist with the cottagecore aesthetic. Plus, the tired skirt is super flattering for so many different body types, so you're sure to look good in it! Catch me at every dinner party and al fresco date night in this!
Bardot Lila Floral Eyelet Corset Long Sleeve Minidress
Bardot is an Australian brand that I love for their floral patterns and corset dresses. This mini corset dress has a broderie pattern that looks so beautiful and luxe. I think this would be perfectly styled with lace up sandals for a brunch with the girls!
Dessy Collection Floral Tulle One-Shoulder Gown
Throwing in this gorgeous gown, because why not? If you're going to a more formal event this summer (hello, wedding season!) then you would look stunning in this beautiful, floral chiffon gown. The bow-tie shoulder detail is so chic, and will definitely make you look like the cottagecore princess you are.
By Anthropologie Sleeveless Sweetheart A-Line Midi Dress
Here's another more casual dress that I love! It's simple, but it still maintains the cute, cottagecore, whimsical feel that we're looking for to master this trend. This Anthro dress almost feels Lord of the Rings like one of the gorgeous elves that ultimately run things. It's giving Liv Tyler, and I'm more than here for it!
