Our Favorite Flirty Spring Dresses

by Melissa Kagan (see more from this expert)

The dress is this season's biggest news. Frocks have rocked the runways in every style from baby-doll cuts to one-shoulder wonders. And besides being feminine and fun, dresses are the quintessential one-stop shopping item. Pull a dress from a hanger and don't worry about which top goes with which skirt or which jacket works with which pants. Here are seven of our favorites.

Ruff Around the Edges

Indulge in the sweeter side of spring this year with a ruffled dress. And if you can find a floral-print version, then all the better. Designers sought inspiration from gardens galore this season and now offer an amazing array of botanical patterns. Some are vivid and vibrant while others are subtle and sophisticated. We love this BCBG Max Azria empire-waist dress with ruffle detail ($166) because the unlikely coupling of brown and light blue works so well. Available at SaksFifthAvenue.com.
