Milkmaid Dresses Are Back (Did They Ever Leave?) — 21 Styles To Shop

Milkmaid dresses started going TikTok-viral last spring and fully took off in the summer thanks to fashion It girls like Sabrina Carpenter, Kaia Gerber, and Olivia Rodrigo. Characterized by structured bodices, puff sleeves, and A-line skirts, the romantic silhouette is sticking around this spring.

These sweet, ethereal styles, including Hill House Home’s beloved Nap dresses, remain a go-to spring dress trend for their breezy, throw-on-and-go ease. And with options ranging from casual minis by celeb-favorite Ciao Lucia to dressier maxis by TikTok-loved House of CB, there’s a milkmaid dress for just about every occasion.

Whether you’re dressing for daytime plans, a fun date night, or spring weddings, we’ve rounded up 21 standout styles — think florals, gingham prints, crisp whites, and pastel colors — to bring a touch of vintage whimsy to your wardrobe this season.
