Taylor Swift's Engagement Dress Is Already Sold Out, But We Found 13 Similar Styles for Your Own Proposal


11 months ago 100

If your group chats and social media feeds are anything like ours on the BRIDES team, news of musician Taylor Swift's engagement to longtime boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, is everywhere. Documented in the couple's recent Instagram post, Swift's unique, vintage-inspired engagement ring, surrounded by several stunning floral arrangements, is, of course, the star of the show, though we can't help but admire her outfit just as much. Featuring vertical black stripes, a smocked peplum bodice, a self-tie halter neckline, and a midi-length hem, Swift's engagement dress appears to be this piece from Polo Ralph Lauren—a fitting choice for the singer's feminine, classic, Americana style.

Like other Swift fans and avid pop culture followers, we've already discovered that it's out of stock on all retailer sites, including Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale's, and Revolve. However, our savvy shopping writer, Maddie Barber, has already scoured the Internet searching for styles that are equally as chic and Taylor-coded. Whether you're on the hunt for an addition to your bridal wardrobe, want to prep your dress collection for a potential proposal from your partner, or need vacation options for your honeymoon, discover our BRIDES-approved dresses similar to the singer's now-famous sundress.
