Every fashionista knows the LBD is the most essential item in her closet. But just in time for summer, it’s time for the coveted black dress to step aside and let a new clothing staple emerge: the LWD.

The Little White Dress is the ultimate complement to your summer wardrobe. However, like the LBD, this dress takes time to find the right fit and length to suit your needs. And the more versatile the dress, the more often you’ll wear it all season long. These six are all budget-friendly, so you don’t have to worry about breaking the bank and saving money on other things, like those shoes you’ve been eyeing for days…
