Meghan Markle has been giving us a glimpse into her life lately on Instagram, and in an affectionate Valentine’s Day tribute to husband Prince Harry, the Duchess of Sussex wore another practical dress style: a tie waist. This midi version on Instagram comes with a flattering tie-waist and ruching that conceals lines. The side slit shows a small amount of skin, while the high neckline keeps the chest covered. You can also dress it up or down with a leather jacket or a denim jacket, depending on the day.

It’s not spring without florals, and Joanna Gaines’ floral maxi on Instagram is perfect to bring out during spring’s transitional weather. This similar style at Amazon has a long silhouette and long-sleeves to keep you covered. The floral print and lace detail adds an elegant vibe for a dressier appearance. One shopper called it “so flattering, especially around the waist.”
Before the weather really starts to warm up, be sure that your spring closet is stocked up with seasonal dresses, like the ones below, inspired by more celebrities.
