When it comes to the best summer dresses, few brands have inspired my wishlist as much as DÔEN. After spotting actress Lily James wearing one of the brand's romantic ruffled designs at Wimbledon, it's safe to say my desire to invest in something from the brand has only grown stronger.

Dôen has become one of the most coveted labels that's loved for its romantic, vintage-inspired dresses and popular blouses. And their whimsical designs have earned a loyal celebrity following, including Alexa Chung and Jennifer Lopez.

Lily James was spotted wearing the Emerence dress, which features ruffles along the neckline, sweet puff sleeves and an elegant polka dot print. She accessorises with what looks like the Prada Galleria top-handle bag, chic cat-eye sunglasses and a simple silver necklace.

Whilst Lily James' dress is undeniably beautiful, its premium price tag makes it more of an investment purchase. So I've found a selection of similar styles below featuring delicate polka dots that capture the same romantic feel.

Whether you're looking to elevate your summer capsule wardrobe or you are shopping for a special occasion, Lily's elegant, silky polka dress is the most elegant piece to take inspiration from. The softly ruffled details, subtle polka dots, and flattering empire waist create a timeless shape that's both elegant and easy to wear.

And although Lily was photographed in the stands at Wimbledon, meaning we can't see what shoes she paired with this dress, we'd reccomend opting for some classic cream heeled pumps like these from Holland Cooper. These tie in perfectly with the dress's classic design.
