Ever since Reese Blutstein’s Future Collective collaboration with Target came out, I’ve been unhealthily obsessing over drop waist dresses. There is one included in the collection (the Long Sleeve Square Neck Knit Midi Sweater Dress, to be exact) that just screams “I’m a princess” vibes – and thus, I had to purchase.
Brit + Co predicted that the drop waist dress silhouette would be all the rage back in 2016, as it strikes the perfect balance between “romantic and laid back.” Those dress descriptors still reign true, and personally, I’m elated that this underrated fashion trend (like chevron? and peplum, allegedly?) is making a comeback.
Get ready to twirl into these 13 timelessly stunning drop waist dresses that give Great Gatsby realness, and more than anything, will make you feel like an oh-so regal modern-day princess.
