20 Graduation Dresses Under $200

Graduation Day is a memorable moment meant for celebrating how much you've accomplished these past four years with your friends and family (not to mention kissing goodbye all of those late nights, long papers, and lengthy exams), so you might as well make the most of it with an unforgettable get-up.

Whether you're graduating from high school or college, the right dress can make or break your big day. Look for something that's current, but not trendy -- photographs and scrapbooks (and even Facebook albums!) last much longer than fleeting trends, so stick with something you'll still love for years to come. Bonus: you can continue wearing it long after graduation.

When it comes to searching for the perfect number, chic, simple sundresses fit the bill. They'll keep you cool when you're covered up in a cumbersome graduation robe and will look even cooler at the after-parties. Floral patterns, eyelet embroidery, and delicate lace details make little dresses sweet enough to wear around Grandma and rad enough to rock with heels late into the night.
