12 stylish milkmaid dresses to live out your Bridgerton fantasy this summer

How pretty is this New Look milkmaid dress? So perfect for when the sun comes out to play. Grab your girls and head to Ibiza wearing this. 

Reformation has put a formal spin on the traditional milkmaid dress with its Marella Linen Midi. It features the classic fitted bodice, A-line skirt, and puffed sleeves, with a polka dot print that looks beyond elegant paired with black heels and a matching clutch bag. Finish the look with delicate jewellery and a red lipstick for the ultimate evening style.

Nobody's Child's Evelyn Midi Dress perfectly falls into the milkmaid dress trend with its cinched bodice, A-line skirt, and vintage-style puffed sleeves. The square neck style is finished with a string tie detail, along with handy pockets and delicate broderie anglaise embroidery. The versatile day dress can be teamed with white trainers, or elevate the look with a pair of espadrille sandals and gold jewellery.

M&S's milkmaid mini dress enhances the figure in all the right places with its gathered waistline and tie fastening, paired with the playful mini skirt. The floaty style is perfect for pairing with slip-on sandals for days at the beach, or complete the look with cowboy boots for an on-trend festival ensemble.

& Other Stories has so many lovely summer dresses right now, and this floaty midi comes in the prettiest pastel blue shade. The sweetheart neckline, smocked bodice, and under-bust shirring make it super flattering for all body shapes, while the white floral print will pair perfectly with white footwear.

Boohoo's classic white milkmaid dress has been designed to flatter the figure with its form-fitting cut and stretch material. Suitable for both daytime and evening wear, I'd recommend styling with a raffia bag and brown sandals for summer days out, or elevate the look with lilac heels and a matching clutch for a glamorous finish. 

A black milkmaid dress is great for throwing on whatever the occasion for an instantly put-together look. H&M's linen version of the milkmaid trend had a smocked back panel, short puffed sleeves, and a ruffled hem, finished with a side slit to enhance the silhouette. I love the & Other Stories number with ballet flats, but I could also see it looking stylish with just about any footwear.

Urban Outfitters has put an edgy twist on its milkmaid dress with the asymmetrical hanky hem. The pale pink midi features a deep scoop neckline with capped sleeves and the classic shirred bodice that hugs the figure in all the right places. I could totally see this one being styled with cowboy boots for festival season.

New Look's pink milkmaid dress is so pretty with its ditsy floral print, elasticated short sleeves and fitted bodice that ties at the back. The mini cut makes it perfect for throwing on with white trainers and a denim jacket for an effortless daywear style, and I love the cut-out detailing that brings the look together.

If you're looking for a mini version of the trend, ASOS's white milkmaid dress is ticking all the boxes. It features a square neckline, subtly puffed sleeves, a tie front, and a stretchy shirred panel. The ultra-feminine style is ideal for wearing with slip-on sandals during the summer, and it would make a gorgeous holiday dress too.

& Other Stories is stocking this gorgeous green milkmaid dress that you can wear for years to come. The midi dress features short puff sleeves, a sweetheart neckline and a gently pleated silhouette. I'd recommend opting for a pair of slip-on sandals and a straw bag to complete the look.

Channel the sunny weather with Apricot's gorgeous floral milkmaid dress. The smocked waist has been designed to create a feminine silhouette, perfectly paired with the vintage-style drop sleeves and unique hanky hem. The summer style can be dressed up or down, and it would look just as lovely with laid-back flip-flops as it would with a pair of white heels for special occasions.
