If you’re a fan of the Ellie Nap Dress from Hill House but not a fan of the price tag, I have the best dupe for you! I’ve tried several affordable options, and this one from Amazon (linked here) is by far the closest match in both quality and design—all for under $50!
Why This Dupe is a Must-Have
The original Hill House Nap Dress is a cult favorite for a reason—it’s effortlessly stylish, comfortable, and can be dressed up or down. However, at over $200, it’s not always in the budget. This Amazon version delivers everything I love about the Ellie dress at a fraction of the cost. Here’s why it’s my go-to:
- Almost Identical Design – The smocked bodice, flutter sleeves, and tiered skirt are spot on. If you didn’t know better, you’d think it was the real thing!
- High-Quality Fabric – Unlike other dupes that can feel thin or stiff, this one has a soft, breathable cotton blend that drapes beautifully.
- Versatile & Comfortable – Just like the original, it’s easy to throw on for a casual day out or dress up for a polished look.
How I Styled It
I wanted to show how effortlessly this dress can be worn for spring and summer, so I styled it in a few different ways in these photos:
- Casual Chic – I layered a white sweater over my shoulders for a classic preppy touch, added white sneakers, and accessorized with gold jewelry and an Apple Watch. This is the perfect everyday outfit for running errands, brunch with friends, or a casual vacation look.
- Sunny Day Ready – To elevate the look, I paired the dress with a woven sun hat featuring a colorful band and oversized sunglasses. This gives off major resort vibes while keeping things practical for a warm day outdoors.
- Tropical Inspired – With a lush green backdrop, this outfit blends right into the perfect vacation setting! Whether you’re exploring a new city or just enjoying a backyard barbecue, this dress keeps you cool and stylish.
Final Thoughts
If you’ve been wanting a Hill House Nap Dress but can’t justify the price, I highly recommend grabbing this Amazon dupe (available here). It’s one of the best affordable fashion finds I’ve come across, and for under $50, you might even want to snag more than one color!
