Promising review: "I am obsessed!I have this in black and it really goes with everything! Wear it alone, with leggings and cropped sweater over, under overalls or jumpsuits! I love things with several uses and can be worn day or night and this fits the bill! Wish they made more colors!" —kahens

Promising review: "For me, clothes pay for themselves based on the number of compliments that are received when an item is worn. I already liked the dress the moment I put it on, but all day long women commented about what a lovely and pretty dress it is (ooh, I like the color, ooh it’s so pretty, ooh, that dress looks like the start of a whole new wardrobe). The compliments made the reasonable dress price feel like a bargain deal. I guess I’m a sucker for polka dots and the power of hearing something positive during the day. In summary, this dress fits well, looks good, makes you feel good wearing it, and even a 9-year-old boy can take a picture of his mom in this dress and this dress still look good...now I just need to decide what other color to buy." —Isadelle Mercedes

Promising review: "I really do love this dress. (I got the black one with red floral embroidery.) I've worn it to dinner and on a cruise. I can probably wear it to a wedding or a beach party. You can dress it up with heels or wear flat sandals with it. I even wore it with my Chucks and it looked adorable. No accessorizing needed, but you can throw on a simple necklace and go. So easy! (Quality also seems good. Thick material = no bra necessary for me! Yay!!)" —Poupee Folle

Promising review: "I decided to wear this gorgeous top as a shirt instead of a dress. It is soft, comfortable, and very stylish. I accidentally washed and dried it with my regular cycle of dark clothes and it didn’t peel! Next time I’ll be sure to properly wash it in cold water and let it air dry. I would like to purchase more of these items. They are top quality for a great price." —2gr8kids
Get it from Amazon for $17.89+ (available in sizes S—XXL and eight colors).
Promising review: "This is an amazing dress! I was not sure what to expect and I am so excited that it is so beautiful. The fit is perfect. It is a fitted dress so if you don’t want something fitted, this isn’t for you. However, if you are looking for something retro inspired, chic, and elegant, this is it! It's sexy in a subtle way. I am in LOVE!" —Mich

Promising review: "I'm one of those people who never writes reviews. I found this dress through a BuzzFeed article and couldn't resist the white sunflower one. The material is stretchy and just fits your body so well. I didn't have any problems with it being see-through while I was wearing light gray underwear. The length is cute. The buttons are fake, so they stay uniform all the way down. It's stretchy across the back of the bodice, so bigger-chested women would love this. My mom and I have completely different body types and the size large fits us both amazingly! I'm definitely going to try to order as many prints as I can!" —Courtney Clark
Get it from Amazon for $27.96+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 35 colors and prints)
Promising review: "I love this dress! I got so many compliments and you will, too. The material is stretchy and high-quality. So you can confidently buy it in your size. You have to find something to go under it yourself. I used a sexy semi see through number under my dress and used a cute belt to really define my midsection. This dress is so sexy. You can't go wrong! " —Courtney Gardner
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes S—3XL and 10 colors).
Promising review: "I searched through about 300 'cocktail dress with long sleeves' options before finding this gem! The material is great — it stands up to wrinkles/long car rides and doesn’t cling at all. The cut is (really) low so I got some skin/fabric tape to close it up. This is a large; a medium would probably have been too short. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S-3XL and in 16 prints).
Promising review: "This dress is exactly what I was looking for! Very flattering fit, and super comfy because it can be adjusted depending on how tight you tie it. The sleeves and the length are both very flattering. When I wore this dress, multiple people asked me where I got it from. Amazing find for the price!" —kat9315

I'm working through a lot of self-esteem issues, but this dress made me feel BEAUTIFUL, sexy, and confident. All things I haven't felt like in a while.

Promising review: "This dress is like a soft T-shirt, and the colors on the blue and white tie-dye were beautiful and vibrant. A bit more blue than pictured, which is good, and consistent with other reviews. The sleeves were nice and stretchy and weren’t too tight at all around the opening. It honestly feels as comfy as a nightgown. I can’t wait to wear it more, I tried it on and it was so comfy I left it on to run errands! It’s great with flat sandals, and I just ordered another color bc I love it so much. Say hello to my new summer uniform!" —Lauren L.

Promising review: "Beautiful dress! Looks expensive for the price. I’m getting it in every color! It’s that pretty. It’s fully lined, very well-made and the material is expensive looking. So, other than getting it in the right size, you’ll love this dress. Get it!" —Monique Emmen

Get it from Boohoo for $12 (originally $30, available in sizes 12 —24 and three colors).
Promising review: "There's a lining that extends to approximately the upper thigh and a few hook and eyes for a better fit in the upper bodice, or breast area. They give allowance for different breast sizes, which can make ALL the difference! The bodice also leaves an option for a cami to show through, or to adjust the amount of skin you're comfortable with showing. I ordered my normal size and it fit SO perfectly! Love the long flowing sleeves and the embroidery, it's done tastefully. Can't wait to wear it this spring and summer!" —MyaChelle
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in five colors).
Promising review: "Love everything about this dress! The color is vibrant, the material is versatile, and the flutter sleeves are adorable! I ordered a medium because I was weary on the sizing but I definitely could have fit a small! The medium just gives me a little extra flow though, so I’m still happy!" —India Aust
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 13 colors).
Promising review: "This dress is absolutely gorgeous, I love everything about it. The material, the fit is great, the print is stunning as well. I honestly thought I wouldn’t like the print but I wanted a white dress so bad. The picture definitely doesn’t do it justice . It’s so lovely and I got the extra small. Overall, get this dress it’s so worth it." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "The material of this dress is so light, airy, and super soft! Great dress for everyday wear or easily dressed up for a special occasion. Fits true to size and just as described. I absolutely love that this dress has pockets! I paired it with a denim jacket for work. I received tons of compliments on the dress. I’m obsessed with the pockets. I will be ordering additional dresses in other colors." —Heather
