Anthropologie has over 1,100 dresses for spring & summer — these 19 are worth your money

If you pay attention to trend reports and sartorial news, it's often fall fashion that receives the highest accolades. And while autumn is great in its own way, I look forward to spring trends the most. Perhaps it's a result of zero-below weather or grey Toronto skies, but when I see retailers begin to release their spring collections, I'm filled with hope and relief — winter is on its way out.

If you follow suit, you'll know that Anthropologie has some of the best spring new arrivals around. The retailer just dropped dozens of warm-weather styles, including a handful from its best-selling Somerset collection. Below, I've rounded up some of Anthropologie's most exciting new releases, starting with the oh-so-chic The Somerset Maxi Dress: Shirt Dress Edition.

The Somerset Maxi Dress: Shirt Dress Edition

A grown-up take on Anthropologie's iconic Somerset Maxi Dress, this shirt dress edition is perfect for those who love the classic Somerset but want something without a pattern or a bit more chest coverage.

The shirt dress comes in two colours, white and navy, and features the same flattering smocked waist that has made its sister dress so popular.

As a new arrival, the shirt dress has yet to collect any reviews. However, its predecessor, The Somerset Maxi Dress, has hundreds available.

Shoppers call the Somerset a "dream come true dress" and promise it's beyond "flattering" on all body types.
