Apparel | Dresses

Dresses have always had range. One day, they’re floating around a poolside cabana; the next, they’re sitting in a meeting pretending to care about quarterly reports. Our Apparel | Dresses collection leans into that range, offering bold looks that don’t just hang on a hanger — they tell a whole story. Sometimes the story is “I came to slay at the pool bar,” and other times it’s “I’ve decided that breathable cotton with pockets is the hill I’ll die on.”

Take the Miss Sparkling Cream Open Knit Color Block Cover Up It’s breezy, versatile, and gives strong “I could be on a yacht, but also I just grabbed tacos” energy. Then there’s the Ombre Pleated Bra Top & Wide Leg Pants Set, a rainbow explosion that’s less “outfit” and more “public service announcement that fun still exists.” And of course, the All Over Smiley Preslie Poplin Shirt Dress — part dress, part tunic, all serotonin. It has pockets, so yes, we’ve already signed the adoption papers.

Historically speaking, dresses go way back — like, “people-in-caves-were-draping-fabrics-over-themselves” back. Ancient Egyptians wore them to stay cool, medieval queens wore them with an alarming number of layers, and at some point in the 20th century, hemlines started rising and the world collectively lost its mind. Fun fact: the word “dress” comes from the Old French dresser, meaning “to arrange” — which explains why humans have been arranging fabric around themselves for thousands of years and still arguing about whether leggings count.

This collection brings that long, dramatic history into the modern day, featuring brands like Madelyn, Merigold Kiss, En Crème, Flying Tomato, Rosa Clothing, and Miss Sparkling. Whether you lean toward playful prints, structured lines, or anything with a little bit of swish, these pieces are for making an entrance — or at least making the grocery store feel like a runway. Bonus: no medieval corsets required.

And when you’re ready to expand your wardrobe even further, check out the full All Apparel collection for everything from feminist tees to unbothered hoodies. GetBullish has been doing the work since 2013, curating clothes and gifts that combine feminism, wit, and style. Because life’s too short for boring outfits — and definitely too short for dresses without pockets.
