Dresses from Independent, Sustainable Designers

At LADDER, our dress edit focuses on independent designers who use quality fabrics and thoughtful construction. You will find women's linen dresses, women's smock dresses, women's maxi dresses, and floral midi styles that work across seasons. These are not trend-driven pieces. They are the kind of dresses you wear repeatedly and reach for year after year.

Designers in our collection include Apiece Apart, Frank & Eileen, and others whose approach to women's clothing matches our own. Shop new arrivals to see the latest additions.
