Olivia Rodrigo single-handedly brought back the babydoll dress, but she's not the first to don the trending ensemble. From rock 'n' roll legend Courtney Love to '60s "it girl" Twiggy, the iconic silhouette is equal parts feminine and edgy. Now, babydoll dresses are on everyone's wishlist—and these on-sale styles will fulfill all your pop-star fantasies.

There's no better time to shop for babydoll dresses since there are tons of Memorial Day sales happening this weekend. American Eagle, Urban Outfitters, Abercrombie, Free People, and more all have deals on babydoll dresses that are too good to pass up.

From picnic-ready gingham patterns to nightgown-inspired options and airy linen picks, a babydoll dress is your summer solution for looking (and keeping) cool.
