Where to Find Photoshoot Dresses (That Don’t Break the Bank)

Photoshoot dresses and outfits come in all styles and colors. While you can simply wear your favorite dress to your photo session, sometimes it’s fun to step outside the box a little. 

Maybe you’ll wear something you don’t typically wear, or choose something that conveys a certain vibe for your images. In that case, you don’t want to break the bank on clothes you might not wear again. But, of course, you still want something that looks stunning for your images.

My best suggestion is to check out Amazon. It’s a fantastic place to find cute photoshoot dresses. You can find decent-quality clothing that will make you feel fantastic for your photoshoot, without breaking the bank. 

Read on for a few fun ideas here!

Vintage Lace Perfection

The delicate lace of this beautiful dress definitely gives me vibrant vintage vibes. Again, the off-the-shoulder neckline adds a hint of sexiness to this stunning outfit and the outline will work well for various body types.

The long skirt will flow gracefully in the breeze and I can already see you looking so exquisite on the beach in this flowy feminine dress. This dress comes in a few different colors as well as a couple of different styles — though all offer luxurious lacy perfection!

Fun and Flirty Off the Shoulder

This off-the-shoulder boho dress is super fun and great for various body types. The high cinched waist with a flowy skirt helps minimize the tummy area. The off-the-shoulder neckline draws the eye instead to your beautiful shoulders and adds a sexy flare to the dress.

The long skirt is perfect for flowing playfully in the slight breeze that we often enjoy on the beach. At the time of this writing, there are 20 colors of this dress available, so you are sure to find the perfect color for you!

Flowy Batwing Bliss

This cute little dress is perfect for taking on a vacation. It is versatile enough that you can wear it for your photoshoot, yet it also doubles as a cute outfit for going to dinner or strolling through souvenir shops.

The batwing sleeves are wonderful if your arms aren’t your favorite body part. Plus, they’re super fun to play with as you pose for pictures! Currently, 13 colors are available so you can choose the best one to fit your personality! 

Frills and Fluffs

This lacy, high-low dress has fun little frills on the front of the dress, complete with a pair of playful pom poms. The vintage lace vibes are perfect for the beach and the beautifully decorated bodice adds interest to your silhouette. 

Again, this dress comes in various colors, 17 at the moment, including a couple options with a short mini-dress hemline instead for an extra flirty flair.

Flirty Feminine Flare

This adorable mini dress can be worn two ways — with a square collar or off the shoulder. It ties in the back, allowing for an adjustable fit while adding a touch of cuteness to the dress. 

The short, flared skirt adds a cute, feminine flounce and makes this dress a dream for wearing to a beach photoshoot. Imagine the twirl factor!

Again, you get to enjoy various colors and patterns to choose from for the perfect photoshoot dress! 

High-Low Heaven

Love asymmetrical clothing? You’ll love this exquisite outfit! The ruffled, one-shoulder neckline adds a delicate feminine flounce to your look. Plus, the exaggerated high-low hemline adds the perfect touch of sexy elegance. 

Just imagine the way this dress would flow in the breeze or embrace your figure as you wade a little in the waves. 

There are currently 11 colors available so you can pick your favorite. I love this muted green and it would look so lovely against the waves, but you can also go for bright pink or red like a gorgeous tropical flower!

Bold Beautiful Back

You’re at the beach, right? So showing a little skin is not only fun, but also acceptable. 

This gorgeous number checks all the boxes for a perfect photoshoot dress. Modest in the front, yet the open back makes it super sexy. The full skirt will dance in the wind and it is 100% twirl-worthy. 

At this time, there are 28 colors available so you can choose your favorite color, match your eyes, choose an earthy tone, or pick a bright pop of color. There is literally something for everyone!

Sexy Short Skirt

You’re on the beach, right? Wouldn’t it be fun to show off a little leg during your shoot? This pretty piece is the perfect blend of sexiness and modesty. 

The high neckline gives the dress a cute, vintage vibe, which can be furthered by wearing the neck closed. Or, leave it open to for a more relaxed look. 

This dress comes in a variety of colors as well as a few different fabric types. Get the Swiss dot style as seen here or choose a smooth solid color, polka dots, or a delicate tiny white floral print.
