These 12 Resort-ready Dresses at Target ‘Look Way More Expensive’ Than Their Under-$30 Price Tags

If you ask me, spring and summer trips are by far the easiest to pack for. Clothing is typically lightweight and compact, and you don’t need to worry about bulky sweaters or jackets taking up the majority of your suitcase. But to make preparing for a warm-weather vacation even easier, I opt for breezy, wrinkle-resistant dresses in order to fit as many options into my carry-on as possible. 

If those easy, go-to items are missing from your wardrobe, Target’s Circle Week sale is an ideal time to add them to your collection. So many resort-ready dresses are 30 percent off during the sale, including versatile options that “can be easily dressed up or down,” according to shoppers. Below, we rounded up our top 12 picks from the sale, and all of them are less than $30.

A comfortable bodycon dress is a wardrobe staple, and this Universal Thread Rib-Knit Maxi is made with a thick, cotton fabric that is designed to have stretch rather than feel constricting.
