Flattering Dresses Are Already on Major Sale Ahead of Prime Day—Starting at Just $14

Stifling summer weather makes wearing breathable, flattering, and flowy dresses a no-brainer fashion choice, and that's why many of us might find our closets filled with dresses when the season rolls around. If you're looking to stock up even more, then Amazon Prime Day's dress deals aren't to be missed. Just because the annual sale event is known for its major markdowns on home appliances, furniture, kitchen gadgets, and electronics, doesn't mean you can't find fashion, skincare, and beauty must-haves on major sale, too.

In fact, early fashion deals have already started rolling in weeks ahead of Prime Day, which falls on July 12 and July 13 this year. That means you can start shopping for casual T-shirt dresses, ruffled dresses with pockets, wrap dresses, and floral maxi dresses for way less. The best deals we've found start at just $14 from shopper-favorite brands like Daily Ritual, Zesica, Prettygarden, and The Drop by Amazon. Many of our favorite picks have thousands of five-star ratings, including this Fancyinn ruffled mini dress with pockets that one reviewer called "the perfect dress for summer," adding that they'd even buy it in multiple colors.

Keep reading below for our roundup of the 14 best dress deals to shop before Amazon Prime Day.
