Step away from the denim, folks. The time for summer dresses has arrived.
Promising review: "This is SO CUTE! I can’t wait to wear it this this summer. Many have said they used it as a swimsuit cover up, but I will definitely be wearing this as a casual maxi dress! The material is slightly silky and very substantial — definitely more substantial than just a cover up. You can even tie up the front into a knot for a cute hi-low look. Just make sure to size up for a more relaxed fit!" —Richie P.

Promising review: "I bought this dress in blue about a year ago and was nervous because I don’t normally buy clothes before trying them on. But every single time I wore it, I had at least a handful of people compliment me or ask where I found it. It was insanely comfortable, and I've since ordered two other colors." —MCD

Promising review: "I bought this dress for an outside wedding and it was PERFECT. If you tie the back tight enough, there is no need for any type of tape or bra (I wear a 34D and went braless). The length was great for dancing all night and it was light enough to feel comfortable in the summer heat. None of my friends could believe I got the dress from Amazon." —Michelle

Promising review: "I LOVE this dress! I originally got it in the bright blue and wore it to my boyfriend's law school graduation. Between the dinner, the ceremony, and the after party, I wore this for almost 10 hours and it was super comfortable. I bought the navy blue in a small and plan on wearing it to my best friend's wedding later in the summer, plus I'll be putting this into my regular work rotation under a black blazer." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This is my new favorite dress! The fit is amazing, the length is perfect, and I love that the loops for the buttons are stretchy to allow a little give in the chest area.

Promising review: "This is going to be a staple in my spring/ summer wardrobe. There are adjustable straps which is great, the fabric is thin and breezy without being see-through, and it has POCKETS. Deep, useful pockets. I sent this link to half the girls I work with because everyone loved it so much. It's super versatile — I wore it with a long black cardi and black mules, but I can see it with a denim jacket, you can belt it, wear with sandals or wedges, etc." —Misee

Promising review: "Definitely buy this dress! I ordered my usual size and it literally fit like it was made for me! The v-neck is sexy but very classy. The dress is on the shorter side, but since I'm kind of short it was perfect. It definitely looks just as good in person! I wore it to a wedding and got so many compliments on it." —Amazon User
