14 Brands Like Lacemade for Romantic, Lace-Led Style
Half your wardrobe is corset bodices and lace trim, and you keep spotting your own dresses on other people at the same parties. That's what happens when a look gets built around one label. Lacemade sells its full-price dresses between $39 and $189 and sizes them XS to XL with a separate Curve & Plus range up to 4XL, so anything you swap in has to hold up against that. Here are 14 labels selling the same romantic, lace-heavy dressing at prices that run from cheaper to a lot dearer. We checked every one on its own site in August 2026, and we've written separately about how Lacemade is made.
Prices below are US dollars unless the table says otherwise, taken from each brand's own store at full price rather than from a markdown.
Quick comparison:
- Closest to Lacemade: For Love & Lemons and LoveShackFancy, for the lace and the corsetry
- Cheapest: Bishop + Young ($120 to $178) and Anthropologie's own labels ($168 for its bestselling maxi)
- Most premium: Ulla Johnson (to $6,500), LoveShackFancy (to $1,495), STAUD (to $1,295) and Needle & Thread (to £760)
- Specialist picks: Christy Dawn for regenerative cotton, Saylor for sizes to 3X, Faithfull the Brand for hot weather, Sea New York for embroidery
- Softer, less corseted: Dôen, Reformation and Sézane

For Love & Lemons
For Love & Lemons treats lace as the whole dress rather than the trim. The Heirloom Petal Slip Dress ($169) in mint is described on its own product page as a mini slip topped with antique-inspired lace trims and a lingerie rosette at the neckline, which tells you where the label's head is.
The Fern Slip Dress ($198) in navy puts floral embroidery and flutter sleeves on satin and lace. Both came up in stock across the full XXS to XL run when we checked. Corsetry and sheer panels turn up right through the range, so if the Lacemade pieces you reach for are the bodices and not the ruffles, this is the closest swap on the list.
Best for: Going-out lace under $200.
Reformation
Reformation is the sustainability-first name in this group, and it's the one we couldn't price. Its store sits behind a bot wall that returns an error page to anything but a browser, so no figure here would be honest. The dresses category itself loads, and the styles it lists by name include the Manhattan Silk Dress and the Lilibet Knit Dress.
What you can check on the site is the paperwork. Reformation publishes a sustainability report and links it from the top of every page, which is more than most romantic labels put in writing. Against Lacemade the silhouettes are looser and less corseted, and the fabric story is the reason to buy rather than the lace.
Best for: Readers who want the environmental claims documented.
Needle & Thread
Needle & Thread is the occasion specialist, and it prices in pounds. The London label's site quotes GBP with UK sizing from 4 to 20. Across 750 listings we read, adult dresses and gowns run £260 to £760 at full price. The Heart Lattice Ankle Gown in garnet sits at the top of that at £760.
Embellishment carries the whole collection. Sequins and tulle do the work that lace does at Lacemade, and the shapes are floor-length far more often than mini. Only 229 of the 2,099 variants on the first page were available when we read it, so the size run you want is likelier to be intact on the newer full-price gowns.
Best for: A wedding, a gala or anything with a dress code.
LoveShackFancy
LoveShackFancy takes the romantic register further than anyone else here. Its own About page dates the brand to 2013 and names Rebecca Hessel Cohen as its founder. Adult dresses run $195 to $1,495 at full price, in 00 to 14 and XXS to XXL.
The Hadlee Cotton Lace-Trimmed Mini Dress ($395) is built from woven lace with a square neckline and lace at the hem, which is the Lacemade formula with the volume turned up. The catalogue also carries kids' versions of the grown-up styles from $175. We've mapped the wider field in our guide to brands like LoveShackFancy.
Best for: Garden parties and anyone who thinks a ruffle can't be too big.
Faithfull the Brand
Faithfull the Brand makes the holiday version of this look. Full-price dresses run $190 to $420 in XXS to XXL, and the Sorra Mini Dress in Carmen Stripe sits at the bottom of that at $190.
The page-one catalogue splits into 31 maxi dresses, 28 minis and 19 midis, which is a lot of dress for a brand that also sells swim. Prints lean toward checks and stripes in sun-bleached colours instead of the ditsy florals Lacemade favours, and the cuts are loose rather than fitted. Buy it for the week away, not the party.
Best for: Linen-weight dresses for hot weather.
Dôen
Dôen sells the Californian, prairie-leaning end of romantic dressing, and its real storefront is shopdoen.com. Full-price dresses span $128 to $1,298, sized 2 to 12 and XXS to XXL. The Lilia Dress in Crème Windswept Meadow ($188) sits near the entry point.
Dôen also runs a resale programme, Hand Me Dôen, from its own navigation, so the dress you tire of has somewhere to go. Compared with Lacemade the mood is softer and less structured, with fewer corsets and more smocking. If this is your corner, our list of brands like Dôen goes deeper.
Best for: Floral cotton dresses you'll keep for years.
STAUD
STAUD is the least frilly name on this list, which is exactly why it's useful. Full-price dresses run $245 to $1,295 in XS to XL and 00 to 16, and the Dillon Dress ($245) in Cigar Sonoma Stripe is called a slim mini with the look of two layers on its own page.
Roughly a third of the page-one catalogue isn't clothing at all. STAUD lists 41 shoe styles and 52 bags alongside the ready-to-wear, so it's the brand here that can finish an outfit rather than start one. Pair its accessories with a Lacemade dress and you get the romance without doubling down on it.
Best for: Bags and shoes to wear with a romantic dress.
Bishop + Young
Bishop + Young is the cheapest way onto this list, and its site is bishopandyoung.com. Dresses run $120 to $178 at full price in XS to L, and 956 of the 1,000 variants we read were in stock, which is the healthiest availability of any store here.
The Oxford Midi Dress ($120) in blue plaid has a draped neckline, side ruching and an asymmetrical flounce hem. The label's own About page dates it to 2014 and names Elizabeth Bishop as founder and chief executive of the Los Angeles house. The size run stops at L, which is the trade-off for the price.
Best for: Filling out a wardrobe without spending $200 a dress.
Sea New York
Sea New York works in embroidery where Lacemade works in lace. Full-price dresses run $295 to $695 in sizes 00 to 16, and 1,674 of the 1,900 variants we read were available, so the size you want is usually there.
The Eliza Dress ($295) has flutter sleeves and a softly structured square neckline. Its shell is 55% cotton and 45% viscose, with the cotton lace and the cotton embroidery listed separately on the same page. That level of detail on a product page is rare, and it makes the fabric easy to judge before you buy.
Best for: Embroidered midi dresses that read dressy without shine.
Ulla Johnson
Ulla Johnson is where this list gets expensive. The brand's own About page dates the line to 1999, and full-price dresses start at $420 and reach $6,500 for a ruffled silk gown. Sizing covers 00 to 16 alongside P through XL.
The Orla Sleeveless Jersey Dress ($420) in Noir Floral is the accessible end, cut from 91% rayon and 9% elastane in a relaxed midi. Above it sit the silk gowns the brand is known for. You don't replace a Lacemade habit with Ulla Johnson, but one dress from here does the job of five cheaper ones at a wedding.
Best for: One occasion dress you'll wear for a decade.
Saylor
Saylor sells at saylor.nyc, not the .com you'd guess, and it carries the widest size run of any label here at XS through 3X. Full-price dresses land between $231 and $330, so the whole range sits under the price of one Ulla Johnson midi.
The Verena Dress ($231) is cut from daisy embroidery fabric with scallop detailing and front pockets finished with gold buttons. Saylor's About page credits New York designer Jillian Shatken with starting the Manhattan label after a trip to Los Angeles. Dresses account for 143 of the 250 styles we read, so the site is easy to shop for one thing.
Best for: Extended sizing in a romantic cut.
Anthropologie
Anthropologie is a shop rather than a single label, which makes it the efficient stop on this list. It sells its own lines next to outside brands, and Bishop + Young, also on this list, is one of the labels it stocks.
The Somerset Maxi Dress ($168) carries 3,872 customer reviews and six colourways, among them a snake print and an ivory tile print. It's cotton, falls 55 inches from the shoulder, and belongs to The Somerset Collection, one of the house labels. Standard sizing runs XXS to XL, with petite and plus versions listed but out of stock the day we looked, and our piece on Anthropologie's sales covers when the price drops.
Best for: Comparing several romantic labels in one basket.
Sézane
Sézane is the Parisian answer to this brief, and its US store sits at sezane.com/us-en. A CAPTCHA wall blocked every price read we attempted, from three different tools, so we're not quoting figures we can't stand behind. The store itself works normally in a browser, which is where you'll have to go to see what a dress costs.
Treat this one as the French counterweight to a lace-heavy wardrobe rather than more of the same. Our guide to brands like Sézane has the alternatives if the site keeps you out too, and it names the labels that stock the same look without the wall.
Best for: Quieter French pieces to wear with your lace.
Christy Dawn
Christy Dawn gives you the clearest fabric story of any brand here. The Dawn Dress ($198) in Cherry Jubilee is listed as 100% regenerative cotton, digitally printed with organic dyes. The same page gives it pockets, an adjustable drawstring waist and a factory in Mexico.
Full-price dresses run $198 to $448, and sizing goes XXS to XXL plus 1X to 3X, with 39 petite styles carried separately. The prints are prairie florals rather than corseted lace, so this is a swap for the softer half of a Lacemade wardrobe. Availability sat at 62% of variants when we read the catalogue, so popular prints do sell through.
Best for: Knowing exactly what your dress is made of.
How to Pick Your Next Romantic Label
Start with the money. Bishop + Young at $120 to $178 and Christy Dawn at $198 to $448 cover most of what a Lacemade wardrobe does, and Saylor and Christy Dawn both run to 3X if you size above an XL. For a wedding, Needle & Thread in London or Ulla Johnson in New York are the two worth the outlay.
Two of these stores wouldn't give up a price to us. Reformation and Sézane both wall off their pages, so check them in a browser before you plan a budget around either. And if the fabric matters more than the silhouette, the sustainable end of this field is where to spend an evening.
