With formal season creeping up on us, there’s just one thing on my mind… the outfits, duh! Seriously, everyone knows that formal is a time when sisters bring out their *looks* to celebrate the year that’s closing out. I really can’t wait to see what everyone decides to wear this year, and that’s left one question on my mind: Where is everyone getting their formal dresses from?

Really, the market is so flooded with dresses right now, it makes picking the perfect brand to shop from all the more difficult. Luckily enough for all of us, College Fashionista ran a survey that asked community members where they’re getting their dresses this year. Let me tell you, the responses are good. Read on for the top 7 brands sorority women are getting their formal dresses from.

Beware… once you start shopping on REVOLVE, you may not be able to stop. The only downside about REVOLVE is that their clothes are pretty pricey, but nonetheless, their pieces are incredible.
