A funny thing happened to our dress sleeves over the last few years — they ballooned to cloudlike proportions. Our hypothesis is that puff-sleeve dresses are what happens when fairytale escapism meets stay-at-home comfort. But unlike the cosy, cotton nightie-style dresses of seasons past, the newer puff-sleeve dress styles command a bit more attention. And there are so many options available right now, whether you're keen on puffed-up tulle skirts or something more casual.

Because this big-time trend is only about to blow up further and wedding guest dress shopping is in full swing, we’ve rounded up the best puff-sleeve dresses that are sure to be a conversation-starter at any social function.

At Refinery29, we’re here to help you navigate this overwhelming world of stuff. All of our market picks are independently selected and curated by us. All product details reflect the price and availability at the time of publication. If you buy or click on something we link to on our site, we may earn a commission.
