Chic Londoners are quietly enamored with this budget-friendly dress label.

      If you've been browsing Instagram this summer, you've probably seen a trend—puff sleeves, picnic checks, corset seams, and a certain effortlessly cool vibe. Chances are, you were looking at Damson Madder. This brand, which began as a small, sustainability-focused label in London, has evolved into a fashion sensation, gradually taking over closets (and wish lists) with its array of dresses that feel like vintage treasures with a contemporary twist. Damson Madder’s creations have an artistic touch: each piece is fun yet thoughtfully designed, romantic without being overly cutesy, and always tailored in a way that makes you want to wear it repeatedly.

      Just look at the brand’s popular items to see the excitement. For example, the Lilo dress sparked a fashion frenzy this summer—a polka-dot stunner that sold out in no time. Then there's the Simone dress, a light cherry-embroidered midi with adjustable straps and delicate ties, adored by our own junior fashion editor, Imani-Nia Francis-Tsolaki, who insists that wearing it makes you feel like the "main character." These dresses don’t just look good—they have an impact. They maintain their shape, elicit compliments, and strike a balance between nostalgic and modern.

      Of course, the celebrity endorsement has also contributed to the buzz. Emma Roberts has long been a fan, casually styling Damson Madder’s gingham and broderie anglaise pieces. However, it was Olivia Rodrigo’s recent appearance in the brand’s Bora mini dress—a ruched gingham eye-catcher paired with Docs—that solidified Damson Madder’s reputation as the top choice for anyone aiming to embody that sought-after It-girl vibe.

      Whether you’re looking for a simple mini for the late summer or a standout midi dress for layering through transitions, Damson Madder offers options that combine elegance with character. Ahead, we've compiled the best dresses from the brand's current collection—including new versions of popular styles and some hidden gems you'll want to grab before they sell out again.
