1. A luxe velvet cowl neck gown so gorgeous, every bridesmaid will want to keep it in their closet forever.Â
Promising reviews: "Amazing bridesmaid dress!!!...Was super lightweight and comfortable for a 90-degree, sunny day! Couldn’t be happier!!!!! —Amazon Customer
"This is my first Amazon review, but this dress really deserves all of the credit and praise possible!... You would really have no idea that this dress was this inexpensive. The material is double layered, a lightweight inner liner, and an outer layer of burgundy velvet. I loved the scooped neckline with the draping! Plus the dress includes built in bra cups!...All in all this dress deserves all of the five stars it is given. It’s affordable, stylish, and it is an identical dupe to Azazie’s burgundy velvet bridesmaid dresses! Don’t think twice about adding this dress to your cart!" —Amazon Customer

2. A ruffled layer top floor-length gown that's the perfect mix of chic and sweet thanks to the flowy top and the slit at the bottom!
Promising review: "I was looking for a dress for engagement pictures and happened to come across this dress. At first I was not sold by the model's picture but after looking through the photo reviews I decided to take a chance on it, and it did NOT disappoint. This dress is flowy, elegant, and the prettiest powder blue color. It would also be a great bridesmaid dress option in my opinion!" —Ashlie

It comes with a detached belt of the same fabric so you can make it fitted on the waist, but I love the dress without it. So elegant. The fabric can be dressed up for evening with a glam heel and the right jewelry, or dressed casually for daytime with a leather belt and denim jacket. You can really do anything with it!" —Lacey

(The pictures don’t do it justice). I tried it on and the fabric feels very nice on my skin and is not see-through, as advertised. The bandeau is perfectly long enough to blend in with the back of the dress." —Daniel R.

Promising review: "This dress is so gorgeous, well-made, and very comfortable! I purchased it to wear to a Military Ball. There is nothing about this dress that's ill-fitting, rough/scratchy, or uncomfortable. The outer layer is very light and flowy. The inner layer is still lightweight, but more silky. The cups are also lined in this same silky material. I don't know that I'd be able to wear a bra with it, as it does show a bit of side boob. But, the cups feel somewhat supportive...Great dress --- BUY IT! It would be awesome for bridesmaids or for [someone] to wear as a wedding guest, prom, bridal shower, etc." —ALC123
