I shop for a living — 12 chic Nordstrom dresses I'm eyeing for fall, all under $200

The end of summer is near — and if you're like me, that's good news. In terms of fashion, fall is definitely the superior season, in my opinion. The perfect balance of chilly and warm weather allows for endless styling opportunities — and dresses are one of my go-tos. The right dress can take you from summer to fall with ease — and if you're looking to snag a new frock for fall, Nordstrom has thousands to choose from across a collection of different brands.

After browsing through dozens of pages of dresses, I found 12 of the chicest options to shop, and get this — they're all under $200! So, if you're on the hunt for a new dress (or two) in time for fall, keep scrolling to shop my picks.

Tie Waist Long Sleeve Denim Maxi Dress

If you love denim for fall as much as I do, this is the dress for you. It's like your go-to denim jacket, except in dress form. It features a removable belt, an A-line silhouette, a chic collar and a glowing review stating, "This dress is better than I imagined."

Mixed Media Long Sleeve Midi Dress

Can we talk about how flawless the colour of this long-sleeved midi dress is? From the office to dinner with friends, it can take you anywhere.

Ishilly Layered Long Sleeve Sweater Shirtdress

Described as an "in-between season look," this shirtdress is great for transitional weather. For extra coverage, style it with a pair of semi-sheer tights — or don't, for a more bold look.

Polka Dot Satin Maxi Dress

Trend prediction: Polka dots are going to be huge this fall. Get ahead of the curve with this dress that's "perfect for date night or brunch with the girls." Add a pop of red to complete the look!

Puff Sleeve Dress

If you like this dress, you're in luck because you can buy it in eight (yes, eight) different colours. Personally, I love the navy.

Floral Long Sleeve Cotton Blend Voile Dress

This floral, balloon-sleeved dress gives major fall vibes with its autumnal floral print. Plus, reviewers are raving about how flattering it looks on.

Long Sleeve Tiered Dress

You can never go wrong with a little black dress — the versatility is just unmatched. For this one, consider sizing down, as it's said to run a bit large.

Edwina Floral Long Sleeve Tiered Midi Dress

You could totally dress this floral midi frock up or down, depending on the occasion. I'd style it down with a pair of black leather boots or dress it up with a chic pair of pumps.

Floral Center Ruched Dress

A Nordstrom stylist recommended styling this floral ruched dress with a pair of cowboy boots and a leather handbag "to go line dancing." I'm going to skip the line dancing for now — but love the styling tip.

Berlina Half Zip Mixed Media Dress

This ultra-casual Steve Madden dress is a "great transitional dress." It features a knit half-zip bodice and a lightly gathered skirt — almost giving the illusion that it's a two-piece ensemble.

Sleeveless Tweed Minidress

There is something so chic about tweed, am I right? You can style this navy tweed mini with a long-sleeve turtleneck underneath on a chilly day or wear it as is for warm afternoons.

Harry Suiting A-Line Dress

No, the blouse is unfortunately not included, but the dress itself is the ultimate layering piece. Wear it over virtually any top, and a chic outfit is born. One shopper insists, "You have to add this to your wardrobe!"

How to shop Nordstrom in Canada: Do I have to pay for shipping?

Potentially — it depends on how much you spend. Free shipping to Canada is available with standard shipping on any qualifying purchase of $135 CAD or more before tax. If you want express shipping, you'll have to pay $25 on purchases of $135 or more (pre-tax).

Shipping costs and any applicable duties and taxes will be calculated and guaranteed by Borderfree, a global e-commerce provider, based on the items you are purchasing and your selected shipping method.

One more thing: When you place an international (Canadian) order, your transaction will be with Borderfree, but you can still access Nordstrom's customer service.
