Thank the fashion gods for cotton, because wearing it is the only way we survive Summer. Frankly, there's nothing worse than sweating through thick, heavy materials in the depths of June, July, and August. We love a great cotton dress because it's lightweight and airy. Plus, if you're headed on a holiday or trip, the fabric is easy to fold and pack up.

If you don't want to break the bank on a new dress, our editors curated a selection of our favourite cotton designs under $100. These reliable pieces will be your Summer uniform, no doubt. Shop our favourites now.
