Promising review: "This is the easy-breezy simple dress I’ve been looking for! It’s super soft with some stretch — has pockets!!! And with the tie-dye print gives it some pizzazz so it’s not so plain. You can throw this on for anything. Dress it up with some boots or heels, keep it casual with flip-flops or slides. Accessorize with a jean jacket, jewelry, or hats. Want more colors!" —Ann D.
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 38 styles).
Promising review: "This is a great transition piece for fall. It is really comfortable and can be worn with or without the overall straps. If you are tall and worried about length this might not be the skirt for you." —KElliott22
Get it from Anthropologie for $160 (available in sizes 0–14).
Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!! The material is so lightweight that it’s perfect for summer and then the buffalo plaid will also look cute and trendy in fall with a jean jacket! Plus, I LOVE that there are pockets...the dress is constructively made really well, I was pleasantly pleased to see it also had a lining so it’s not at all transparent. I will be wearing this dress all summer and then some!" —Theresa St Peter
Get it from Amazon for $20.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in four colors).
Promising review: "Love how soft they are and the pocket under the skirt is so convenient for my iPhone. The skirt hits mid-thigh. Washed in cold water and dried and it came out great! I got the turquoise and the color is so pretty. I wear it with a racerback top and it looks so sporty! I would order again." —Jeanne
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 16 styles).
Promising review: "LOVE this dress! It’s super stretchy, great for plus-size people! I am a 14–16 right now and got the XXL and it’s perfect. I have a pretty big chest (DDD) and it fits there too! The length is longer (knee length) but it actually makes it so you can wear it with boots and a cardigan in fall but also wear it in spring and summer when it gets hot, so it’s very versatile! Plan on getting in more colors!" —Kandice
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 45 styles, including both short and long sleeves).
Promising review: "This is officially my favorite clothing purchase on Amazon! I love it so much that I ordered several colors. Be aware that not all skirts are the same length, give or take an inch. The skirt is not lined but has pockets. It's super cute with a tucked-in top and booties. I also hemmed it about two inches because I like more calf action. Overall, I love this skirt! It holds up in the wash and will last a while." —MC

Promising review: "The perfect skirt. It's very light without being see-through or flimsy. I love that it has pockets and the length is perfect. It wrinkles a fair amount in the wash but I kind of like the lived-in look of it. A new favorite. I'll probably buy other colors." —Renee Tilby

GirlyGoGarter is a woman-owned small biz launched by Andy Paige after years of enduring hot mic packs clipped to bras and leg straps that would fall down the moment it got a little sweaty. Many prototypes and iterations later, GirlGoGarter launched and is maintained by a team of mostly stay-at-home moms.
Promising review: "This product helped me so much with a place to put my insulin pump when I wear a dress. I used to just put it in my bra but it would always fall out. Now I have a specific place where it goes and it stays until I need it. It also seems really well made. All in all, I'm really satisfied and would recommend this to anyone that needs to carry around some small things while wearing a dress!!!" —Charlene
