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.

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.
State Floral Long Sleeve Cotton Blend Voile Dress
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.
Caslon Long Sleeve Tiered Dress
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.
Mila Mae Floral Center Ruched Dress
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.
Endless Rose Sleeveless Tweed Minidress
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.
