When it comes to the best summer dresses, few brands have inspired my wishlist as much as DÔEN. After spotting actress Lily James wearing one of the label's romantic ruffled designs at Wimbledon, it's safe to say my desire to invest in something from the LA-based fashion house has only grown stronger.
Dôen has become one of the most coveted labels that's loved for its romantic, vintage-inspired dresses and popular blouses. And its whimsical designs have earned a loyal celebrity following, including Alexa Chung and Jennifer Lopez.
Lily James was spotted wearing the Emerence dress, which features ruffles along the neckline, sweet puff sleeves and an elegant polka dot print. She accessorises with what appears to be the Prada Galleria top-handle bag, chic cat-eye sunglasses and a simple silver necklace.
Made from a luxurious silk-viscose blend, this elegant dress features a soft cream colour with delicate burgundy polka dots for a vintage-inspired look. The romantic ruffles and sweet puff sleeves make this piece feel especially beautiful.
The Prada Galleria bag has to be one of the best designer handbags, loved for its structured silhouette. It's made from the brand's signature leather and features stylish top handles for a practical finishing touch.
Elevate your everyday attire and your smart occasionwear with these luxurious cat-eye sunglasses. Perfect for shading your eyes in the sun, they also feature protective UV lenses.
Whilst Lily James' dress is undeniably beautiful, its premium price tag makes it more of an investment purchase. So I've found a selection of similar styles below featuring delicate polka dots that capture the same romantic feel.
This dress has a vintage-inspired elegance with its playful polka dot print and flattering midi silhouette. It's crafted from a fluid crepe fabric that will drape beautifully on the body.
This sophisticated find features a timeless silhouette with a deep V-neckline and delicate, fluttery sleeves. The subtle polka dots add to its classic appeal.
The elbow-length sleeves on this dress provide more coverage than other styles. Its empire line will highlight your waist, and the softly draped skirt will skim your body.
Whether you're looking to elevate your summer capsule wardrobe or shopping for a special occasion, Lily's silky, spotty dress is the most elegant piece to take inspiration from. The softly ruffled details, subtle polka dots, and flattering empire waist create a timeless shape that's stylish and easy to wear.
And although Lily was photographed in the stands at Wimbledon, meaning we can't see what shoes she paired with this dress, we'd recommend opting for some classic cream heeled pumps like these from Holland Cooper. These tie in perfectly with the dress's classic design.
