Summer dresses for 2024 by women-founded brands
It’s no secret that at The Women’s Journal, we love championing female-founded brands. That’s why we’ve handpicked some of our favourite dresses by incredible brands founded by women for this upcoming spring/summer season.

Summer dresses for 2024 under £100
No need to spend a fortune for a beautiful and quality summer dress. Whether you’re after incredible deals for designer dresses under £100 on The Outnet or whether you prefer sticking to high-street brands, we’ve got your covered.
Plus size summer dresses for 2024
Size diversity matters and it’s still disappointing to us how very few brands cater for plus size women or how many plus size designs available out there look either very frumpy or old-fashioned. Plus size women are fierce and deserve to show off their assets in ways that will flatter their body shape. Here are some of our favourite plus size dresses for the spring/summer 2024 season.

Evening summer dresses for 2024
With warmer days also comes cocktail hour on rooftops, hen do parties and other summer shenanigans.
