– Department Stores With Girly Brands IN THIS POST –
Shopping from department stores is great! We are here for the convenience to find everything in one place and the discount coupons! But how many times did you type “girly clothes” on your favorite department store’s website and found exactly what you were looking for? Probably never, right? I know how hard it is, so for this post, I made a careful selection of lovely brands that have a strong girly girl aesthetic for every season, not only spring/summer floral dresses. That means only feminine clothes that are heavy on dainty features like ruffles, bows, eyelets, lace, silk, delicate embroideries, puff sleeves, flattering feminine fit, vintage retro flair, and ladylike shapes. Also, pastel colors, whimsical patterns like florals, hearts, polka dots, ginghams, romantic details such as pearls, golden buttons, and so on.
I guess you got the picture! I tried to cover all bases and feature as many ladylike size-inclusive brands as I could find at Target, Macy’s, and Nordstrom. Yes, girly plus size clothes too, baby!

the cutest online stores to buy feminine and girly clothes
At the end of this post, you’ll find a list of girly brands available in several different department stores. And as much as department stores have some brand rotation, the perks are dreamy! First, the convenience to shop for AUTHENTIC beauty products, jewelry, clothes, and sometimes even decor, furniture, and food altogether! Second, lovely customer service, great discounts, human delivery times, and the possibility to return in-store, for the ones that still have a brick and mortar presence. That’s why I focused mostly on brands and collections created exclusively for each store. But I also included not exclusive ones!
So, I hope you enjoy this list and find the most enchanting outfits to go on picnics, dates, brunches, back to the office… and embrace your girly girl princess mood!
