Are you graduating this quarter? Don’t know where to choose your graduation dress and heels? Want to spend less on a cute graduation outfit? Here is the right guide for starting and finding your white dress! 

  1. ASOS $-$$

Key Word: Cost-effective

ASOS is a multi-brand online store with all kinds of white dresses in simple styles ranging from $40 to $100, which is a great choice for college students to get a nice dress at a relatively low price. There are also various kinds of heels appropriate for graduation, which are all cost-effective.

  1. Lulus $-$$

Key Words: Tons of options, Good quality, & Cost-effective

Lulus offers you a lot of options in choosing a nice white dress with simple designs. After you browse its website, your bag may be full of items you like or want to buy. The model pictures are exactly the same as the real dresses, so you don’t need to worry about your favorite dresses only looking great because of good model pictures. I bought my graduation dress from Lulus, and it is a good quality dress with thick material. There are also many options for cute heels in different styles, so you can always find the ones fitting your dress. All item prices are also really reasonable—nearly all dresses only range from $50 to $100. The real items don’t look cheap at all. The shipping and after-sales services are also great, and it is very convenient to exchange or return your items.

  1. Revolve $$-$$$

Key Words: Special design & Tons of options

Revolve’s dresses always surprise you with their good designs. If you have a budget of around $200 and prefer a special design, revolve is the right brand for you. If you don’t want to spend too much on a dress, there are also some great dresses under $100 with cute designs. Heels range from $100 to $200.

  1. House of CB $$$

Key Words: Elegant French Style & Great Garment Version

Don’t be deceived by their model pictures!! You will see how the model pictures don’t compare when you get the dresses. The garment version of each dress is amazing, showing your curvy body with a perfectly tailored waist-to-hip ratio. Nearly every dress there is around $200— so if you have the budget, you have to browse its website for a great dress! There are also some cute heels, but I would say you can find better heels appropriate for graduation in the other brands I’ve recommended here. Please note that exchanging or returning items will cost you a shipping fee. 

  1. Reformation $$$

Key Words: A Popular Brand on the Internet & Elegant French Styles 

Reformation offers lots of options if you love elegant and simple French styles dresses. There are lots of trendy styles, such as Juliette and Nikita, that are preferred by many celebrities. The prices are mostly ranging from $200 to $300, so if this is within your budget, you have to browse through its website and even choose a great madi dress for the summer holidays. Their heels are mostly sandals, so they are also great for daily wear.

  1. Self-portrait $$$$

Key Words: Delicate and hallow-designed dresses & Flower element 

Self-Portrait has lots of long dresses that are very special and well designed. The dresses are not common in other brands, so it is less likely that you will have a similar dress with your friends.Designs with flower elements are used a lot in Self-Portrait dresses, so the dresses make you look like a fairy. If you have a budget of around $400 to $500, Self-Portrait is a perfect choice. However, there are no heels for sale.

These are my recommendations for graduation outfits. You can choose the brand and your dress based on your budget and favorite styles or designs. I hope you can find the right one for you and congratulations on graduating!
