How I Chose the Best Short White Dresses

To pick the best short white dresses, I looked at a variety of options from popular retailers, reading carefully through reviews (if available) to sift out any glaring issues, like poor craftsmanship or too-sheer material. I picked dresses that came in a variety of sizes and came in a few styles, from body-con to long and flowy. I also chose dresses that came at a variety of price points that would work whether you need a quick option for a bachelorette party or a go-to short white dress that will be a staple in your closet for years.
