Our Formal List for Formal Dresses
As the spring rolls around, the flowers are blooming and the trees are growing, all any sorority girl is thinking about is Formal. The season of finding the perfect date, the perfect venue and the perfect night is a lot to handle, so we at The Edge want to help you find the perfect dress. There are the typical places to shop; Shein, Zara, and Princess Polly, but we have found some unique, smaller owned businesses that are selling one-of-a-kind dresses ideal for any girl, even if Formal isn’t on your calendar this spring.
Etsy
The best place to start your search is on Etsy. For those who haven’t heard of it, Etsy is an online commerce company that sells different products from individual people who are making new and distinctive pieces of art. Whether it be jewelry, clothing or handbags, Etsy has it all. When you go on their website, there is a search bar that you can enter whatever it is you are looking for. The dresses on the site have differing prices ranging from relatively inexpensive to a little more pricey. They have many sizes, colors, and styles, so whatever type of dress you are looking for, you are sure to find!

Cool is a Construct
If you’re looking for a more colorful dress, the company Cool is a Construct is the way to go. This company is run by a group of college students at NYU who created this ethical, all inclusive clothing site. Many influencers, especially on TikTok, have started to wear this brand. They sell bathing suits, tops, skirts, and matching sets. Their dresses range from $110 to around $130. They have fun prints and bright colors and styles that resemble dresses worn in the early 2000s.

Altar’d State
Known for their ethical all-inclusive clothing, Altar’d State is another great place to shop for a Formal Dress. Their newest collection includes lots of pastel colors, puffy sleeves, and flowy styles. A bonus to this company is they do Buy Now Pay Later. This means that you can purchase the dress and over the course of a couple of months pay off the price in increments. So if you find that perfect dress but don’t have the money at the moment, you can pay it off over time.
