Celebrate New Beginnings in Style With These Cute and Sophisticated Graduation Dresses — All Under $100!

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Congrats, (almost) grad! It's just about time to turn your tassel and embark on new beginnings, and seriously, what could be better?! After long nights studying and hours spent putting time into papers, projects, and everything else on the school-related spectrum, your hard work is finally about to pay off. But before you can get your diploma, you need to find the perfect dress to celebrate in. And even though it's going under a graduation gown (sigh), you will still be able to effortlessly show if off, and not to mention, wear it all Summer long. A total win-win. Whether you have a curvy frame, are more on the petite side, or somewhere in between, these dresses will complement any figure.

Take a look at the most chic and trend-setting pieces we found. Oh, and the best part: they're all under $100. From flirty floral prints to sophisticated silhouettes, we can guarantee you'll shine just as bright as your future in these. Here's to graduation!
