Jan 27

Picture this: It's your senior year and your last semester of school. You're taking your last classes and making some of your last memories. Your cap and gown is ordered and you've booked your favorite senior photographer. But what are you wearing? You’d be surprised how hard it is to find great graduation dresses.

As a graduation photographer, I've seen so many beautiful dresses and know what works great for beautiful images.

It’s so hard to shop online and know what works for you. That's why I've created this on-going list of top graduation dresses for fall 2022 graduates that I’ve found online!

$70 DANNY MINI DRESS WHITE from Princess Polly

Princess Polly is always a go-to for trendy dresses. This dress has a beautiful open back that’s perfect for those “looking over the shoulder” shots. This has 35 reviews with 5 stars!!

$66 Sunny Day Stunner White Eyelet Embroidered Babydoll Dress from Lulu’s

This dress is super comfortable with beautiful details. I love the embroidery throughout the dress and the sweetheart neckline. Perfect for those outdoor desert locations.

$68 Siona Tie Strap Dress from Superdown

also found on Revolve

A great simple dress if you’re not looking for something flowy. The bows on the sleeves are to die for!

$89 DYNAMIC LOVER DRESS WHITE from Hello Molly

Another flowy dress - this one is so dreamy with it’s flower detail and open back. The cowl neck is a great option for those looking for something a little different.

$45 ASOS DESIGN Curve babydoll smock dress in textured spot from ASOS

I absolutely love the embellished spot detailing on this dress along with the back. This is a perfect go-to if you’re unsure what you want for your graduation shoot!

$79 ABBY OFF-SHOULDER TIE-UP BACK DRESS WHITE from Selfie Leslie

This one is my absolute favorite! I love the simplicity of this dress and it is flattering on any body type. Dress it up with some gold jewelry and you’re ready for your graduation photos.

$35 Phortric Womens Tie Back Summer Dress from Amazon

I love the simplicity of this dress and it is flattering on any body type. Dress it up with some gold jewelry and you’re ready for your graduation photos.

I always recommend dresses that are somewhat flowy and have minimal detail for graduation photos. This is so you’re comfortable during your photos and you can move around easier, although always keep in mind to wear something you are comfortable and confident in! There is no single dress you “have to” wear, these are only recommendations above.

Keep a lookout for an upcoming blog about nontraditional graduation dresses! (psst... you don’t have to wear white!)
