Promising review: "The hunt is over! I have been looking for a comfortable, affordable, wash and go, at least-knee length black tee shirt dress for over a year. This dress hits all those marks! I am back to order it in the gray. Love it!!" —stylingmom
Get it from Amazon for $21.07+ (available in sizes XL–7X and three colors).
Promising review: "I love the pattern and the fit! The comfortable elastic high waist fits perfectly and it has a perfect above-the-knee length. The fabric is somewhat sheer, so it is cool and airy even though it is a dark background floral. This is my favorite dress that I've bought on Amazon." —DeeJay

Promising review: "This dress is beautiful and well constructed. As a seamstress, I was impressed with the quality for the price. The fabric is soft and comfortable for even hot days, but not so thin that it is see-through." —Crystal Brown

Promising review: "This looks SO much better than the photos! At first glance, I wasn’t a huge fan of the pattern/colors, but I thought the style of the dress was fabulous, so I knew it’d all work together – success! I love this adorable dress. It’s perfect for spring and summer. The asymmetrical way the front/back slits are cut add a unique and modern touch to this classic style and I love the rolled up (stitched in place) sleeves." —LadyJean

Promising review: "This is adorable. Compliments all day. I expected it to be completely see-through when I pulled it out, but when I put it on, it wasn't at all! It's adorable and an easy dress to just throw on and go. I did have to wait over a week, but it came earlier than expected! Very happy with this purchase." —@juliannajanayoung

Promising review: "This is a nice summer and fall dress. It's heavy enough to keep you from being cold indoors during the summer and outdoors during the fall, but breathes enough that you can wear it in the heat. The dress is a little shorter than I imagined it would be; I'm only 5'5", but it was more a midi length than a maxi on me. It's still very cute on and I always get lots of compliments." —Sara
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–L and seven colors).
Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this dress! It's lightweight, has comfortable material, and looks great. It's a tad bit see-through but can be fixed if you wear a slip underneath or don't care if you put your fruits on display. I highly recommend this as a summer favorite, I'll definitely be wearing mine for the majority of the summer. I just can't get over how comfortable it is!" —Briana Brockbank

Promising review: "Another win for this brand! This dress is gorgeous. It looks and feels MUCH more expensive than it is. I buy (and return) a ton of clothes from Amazon, so I know how much of a gamble it can be to order. Don’t hesitate on this one. It fits perfectly to size, and I love that the wrap front is high enough that I don’t have to wear a tank under it. I am pretty modest when it comes to showing cleavage, and this dress fits the bill. The fabric is very soft and light — I will wear it spring through fall here in NC. The dress is casual enough to wear with flat sandals for shopping, but you can easily dress it up with heels for a dinner date." —R. Walker
