Amidst all the summer deals (and tempting weekend sales) vying for our attention, one in particular stands out: Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. The reader-favorite retailer’s biggest sale of the year has been going on for nearly a month — but it ends August 3. That means now’s your last chance to shop Refinery29 editor picks and bestsellers before the best pieces disappear from your cart. To help you focus on truly killer summer fashion finds, we’ve curated the best summer dresses from Nordstrom’s sale section.
This year’s dress edit covers every scenario, from beach weddings and vacations to casual hangs and office days. You’ll find wedding-ready silhouettes, crisp shirtdresses, sweet milkmaid styles, and versatile transitional-weather picks that’ll carry you straight into fall — with prices as low as $34.
Alongside Nordstrom’s in-house labels like Caslon and Open Edit, you’ll spot big-name favorites like Free People, Paige, and Beyond Yoga. Click on for 30 editor-approved sale dresses to shop now (while they’re still in stock).
All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission.
