Filling Easter baskets and hanging Easter decorations is easy enough. But shopping for Easter dresses? Well, that's a bit more daunting—and Ree Drummond should know. Back in the spring of 2019, she took her own daughters shopping for their outfits: "During the course of our mall excursion, I ate a mall cookie, bought some weird stationery items, got a blister, and successfully convinced my daughter that shimmery taffeta and a multi-layer tulle petticoat might be considered a tad over the top for our little small town church," she says.

But never fear, mall-averse (and petticoat-averse) readers! You don't even need to venture out of your own home to get your hands on the prettiest Easter dresses to wear while attending Sunday mass and Easter brunch. (Unless you, too, would like to get your hands on a mall cookie. No judgment.) Here, you'll find a selection of the best spring dresses, including pretty polka-dot numbers, pastel sundresses, and plenty of floral dresses, too. All these picks feature eye-catching springy patterns, flattering lines, and delightful details.

If you are attending a more conservative church service (or need to layer for the weather or chilly air conditioning!), consider topping your outfit with a shawl or cozy cardigan. Then, when the holiday is over, add a pair of comfy sandals or a straw hat, and you can wear them all spring and summer long!
