I don’t know about you, but I’m obsessed with Revolve – their styles are always on point.
But a girl can only have so many LBDs, you feel me? Let me hip you to some fresh new brands to switch up your ‘fit game.
Now I know what you’re thinking – “Jane, how do you know so much about the hottest new brands?”
Well, here’s a little backstory for you:
Last year, I was maid of honor in my bestie’s wedding. Of course, I wanted to stunt in a slammin’ dress for the big day.
I hit up Revolve first, but couldn’t find anything unique enough. So I went on a wild goose chase trying every brand under the sun to find my lewk.
After hours of scrolling, I finally discovered some amazing dresses from new brands I’d never heard of! Moral of the story: stepping outside your comfort zone opens you up to amazing new possibilities.
So let me save you the trouble and share my fave new dress brands I discovered!
Keep reading, I’m about to drop some serious gems:
For Love & Lemons
Obsessed with For Love & Lemons! Their dresses have the girly and feminine vibes of Revolve, but way more affordable.
We’re talking under $300 for most dresses. And the prints and colors are to die for – totally unique and Insta-worthy.
Some of my faves are the Lavender Dreams midi with a stunning lilac embroidered mesh overlay, and the Just Peachy ruched mini in a juicy tangerine hue.
They also do dreamy florals and boho prints like the Shadow Bloom maxi with a black floral chiffon that flows beautifully. Beyond dresses, their matching sets like the Fruity Cutie corset top and skirt are so fun for summer!
House of CB
Looking for sexy bandage dresses like those curve-hugging Revolve faves? House of CB has similar silhouettes with intricate corset bodices and cut-outs.
Beyond sexy and sophisticated. I’m obsessed with the lime Bandage Dress with some va-va-voom corset action.
The front cutout shows just enough skin while the midi length keeps it classy. For date night, the Never Ending Love Bandage Dress in rose pink would make a show-stopping entrance – it has a plunging crisscross neckline and cap sleeves.
If you want something less constricting, the Desire Mesh Dress has a flowy mesh skirt but still hugs your curves.
Show Me Your Mumu
Mumu is my new go-to for comfy yet polished maxi dresses and rompers. Total vacation vibes! But they also have some cute party-ready bodycon dresses.
Think of them as Revolve’s laidback sister. The Ancient Rome maxi is perfect for laying poolside – it’s lightweight crepe with a smocked bust and flows down to an ankle slit.
Equally chill is the Tanzania romper with a wrap top and wide legs. If you want to dress it up, the Vixen midi is sexy with a strapless sweetheart neckline. And the Fruit Punch bodycon shows off your curves in a vintage-inspired floral print.
Tularosa
Tularosa’s dresses scream desert boho chic. Lots of smocked and ruched detailing, prairie-style prints, and flowy silhouettes.
If Revolve’s aesthetic was born and raised in Joshua Tree, it would be Tularosa! I’m loving the Meadow maxi in a purple floral print with a tiered skirt that flows beautifully. The Annabelle mini also has a tiered hem but a prairie gingham print that’s perfect for Coachella vibes.
And the Lavender Crush smocked mini, with a square neckline and puff sleeves screams 70s retro. If you want something sexier, check out the Garden Life ruched dress with a front slit and corset-like ties.
Privacy Please
Privacy Please has the minimalist, model-off-duty vibe of Revolve basic dresses – but with an edgier twist.
We’re talking asymmetrical silhouettes, cut-out details, and luxe fabrics like satin and crepe. So sexy and modern!
The Slit Happens black midi dress lives up to its name with a slit so daring it’s almost NSFW. Equally sultry is the Cross Statement dress with crisscross straps and cutouts.
For date night, the Show Off mini in red satin will turn heads with a cowl neck and ruffles. And for casual nights out, the Twist Back crepe dress has an effortlessly cool asymmetric hem.
Lovers + Friends
Lovers + Friends is like Revolve’s cooler younger sister. Lots of bodycon silhouettes and bandage styling, but with more daring cut-outs and on-trend details.
Definitely club-ready vibes!
Case in point – the Next In Line dress, a hot pink bandage mini with a front cutout that shows skin while still hugging your curves.
The Go Lightly mini also stuns in lime green bandage, with a single puffy sleeve.
For a sexier vibe, check out the Holly Bodycon dress that leaves little to the imagination with its deep V-front and high side slits. If you want something more wearable for daytime, the Sundae tank dress cinches at the waist for a flattering silhouette.
Princess Polly
Princess Polly has allll the itty-bitty mini dresses in fun prints and colors! From cowl necks to strapless, you’ll find a flirty dress for any occasion.
Australian-based, but all the styles feel LA-born like Revolve. The Flounce My Way strapless mini in a vibrant botanical print is perfect for a tropical vacay, while the Thrills ‘N Frills cowl neck mini feels flirty and feminine with its ruffle trim.
For a night out, the Spotlight On You mini turns heads in a bright red hue with a sultry cowl neck and front slit. And the Dream State puff sleeve mini combines cottagecore vibes with a cheeky hemline.

Beginning Boutique is a great Revolve dupe for casual day-to-night dresses. Lots of smocked midis and wrap styles you can dress up or down.
Plus some cute occasion options too! The Olivia ruched midi dress is universally flattering with a v-neck and tiered ruffles at the skirt.
Equally versatile is the Serene smocked midi in a unique mauve shade. For summer parties, Beginning Boutique has fun options like the Natty off-the-shoulder mini covered in a bright floral print, or the Talia twist-front midi in a sexy lipstick red.
