As a shopping editor, it’s my job to peruse the major fashion retailers for the best new deals and hot releases. During my latest Nordstrom browse, I discovered 2,364 new dress markdowns — and get this, they’re all 50% off (or more)!
Yes, you read that right. Nordstrom marked down 2,000+ dresses by more than 50%. It’s basically Black Friday in July! I know what you’re thinking — no, these on-sale dresses aren’t styles you’ll end up hiding in the back of your closet. They’re genuinely stunning, aka the kind of styles that exude ‘rich-girl’ status without even trying. Plus, there are still multiple sizes in stock (or at least there was at the time of writing).
To help you find the best deals that are still in stock, I rounded my favorite eye-catching dresses. The only catch is that Nordstrom deals tend to sell out scary fast, so go ahead and dive right in.
