14 Free People dresses for spring & summer 2024 that are outrageously flattering — starting under $150

Welcome to another edition of spring and summer dresses I love. With the first day of spring mere weeks away, I am mentally packing away my winter jackets and boots for the season (physically, I am in Alberta, and it's -20°C, but mind > matter!). As a shopping editor, I spend a great deal of my workday looking at pretty things I want to buy — the struggle! Of all my favourite sites, there's one that delivers almost constant spring fashion inspiration — Free People. A not-overly-expensive celebrity staple, Free People's dress selection is bar none. From wedding guest dresses to vacation apparel, there are more than 600 styles available. Below, I've gathered 14 dresses I'm excited about for spring and summer. With options from under $150, shop my favourites below.
