Promising review: "I love love love this dress. I wore it for Easter this year and got so many compliments. My ONLY complaint is the boob area. However, this was only a complaint on Easter when I would have liked to have been more modest. I had to pin the dress in the cleavage area to make sure the girls were covered. Since then I have bought another dress in a different color and am excited to wear them this summer! BUY THIS DRESS. If you’re second-guessing whether or not to buy it, BUY IT." —Rhianna Hill

Promising review: "I am 5'5", 150 lbs., and usually wear an 8/M. I ordered the medium and it fits as I would expect. It's super basic both in style and cut but that's kind of what I like about it — easy to throw on during summer, dress up with a necklace, and look like I actually put some effort in." —JTSimmons

Promising review: "I found the other reviews very helpful before buying this — SO glad I sized down! I’m 5’5”/5’6” and my weight fluctuates between 155 and 175... SMALL fits perfectly. I will only be wearing it off-shoulder, but I had planned on doing that anyway. Wish it wasn’t so expensive, I would have bought the yellow as well. I feel like a Renaissance princess wearing it! :) If you’re shorter than me, the midi length won’t work." —Sophia622

Promising review: "I bought this dress for Coachella. The skirt is a little see-through but it’s cute, I wore a leopard bathing suit bottom under and it was sexy. The details are cute and it looks just like the Free People dress. Sizing: I wear size 6 pants, weigh 130 lbs., and am 5’2". Size small fit perfect." —Brooke Murray

Promising review: "It’s a quality dress for the price. It’s lightweight and material doesn’t feel heavy when wearing it. I ordered a large based on reviews and I think I should have ordered a medium instead. I’ll still wear it though, it just fits a little loose. I’m 5’3", 155 pounds, and 36D for reference. It's a beautiful pattern." —Kyra

Promising review: "This is the perfect summer dress. The color is exactly as pictured and well made for the price. It is lined, which I did not expect, and the fabric is soft and light even though it is predominantly polyester. I ordered a large even though I wear a medium and it fits just right at the bust area and has a fuller flouncy skirt at the bottom which is what I wanted. If you want a fuller and roomier fit at the bottom, order one to two sizes up. The dress will look and feel better on the body. I bought the white and now I wished I had bought all of them. I am definitely buying more of these from this seller. Very satisfied! Happy days!" —Truth Wand

Promising review: "Absolutely love this dress and thought it was adorable! I love sloths so the moment I saw this dress I knew I had to have it! I got the small/medium and the dress fit as expected and it was really comfortable. I’m a teacher and was able to wear it the whole day without any issues." —Rachel
Get it from Amazon for $19.62 (available in sizes XS-XXL and in six prints).
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this dress. It is much better than I expected to come from Amazon for this price. The material is definitely the type that needs to be steamed well to get the wrinkles out, but other than that it's great! I'd say the color is definitely a little more bright yellow than the picture appears. Fits true to size. If anything it's a little more scandalous than I thought because it does show more cleavage than expected and you can't really wear a bra with it, but overall a great summer dress." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I'm 5'7", 175 lbs., ordered a size 14 (package said 2X), and fits great. I have big arms, but it's not too tight. Seems like good quality for the price! Happy buyer and would recommend this!" —james casner

Promising review: "This lovely cotton dress is easy to wear, lightweight with a short slip underneath. Cool cotton for hot weather, flowing, and loose-fitting. Pair it with a denim jacket and sandals and it's perfect for those cool summer evenings!" —RLSMeimei

Promising review: "Adorable dress! The material is flowy and soft. Great dress for a summer outing! I usually wear size 6 and bought a medium, and it worked perfectly — 5'6" and the dress hit right below the knee. The background color is navy. There are two pockets at the front — LOVE pockets! But they are made from pretty soft material so you can't really keep much in there." —J.Y.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes S-2XL and 37 prints).
Promising review: "I really am pleasantly surprised! It fits great! I’m 5'4” and I was worried since most maxi dresses are too long on me. I can wear flats with this and it's perfect for summer. You do need to be modest when sitting to avoid showing too much, as the slit is high and seems to rise a bit when sitting." —RunnerGirl

Promising review: "Loved this dress! I’m 5’1”, weigh 130 lbs., and I bought a small. I thought it was going to be too long but it wasn’t. The material is soooo comfortable, didn’t want to take it off." —Fern & Janet

Promising review: "I love this dress! I'm really short (4‘10”), and for me, it did end up fitting perfectly as a maxi dress, which is what I wanted! Very soft material! I def recommend. The green was more of a dark forest green and not an army/camouflage green as shown in the images but I am still happy with it." —kelly

Promising review: "Ok, EVERYONE NEEDS THIS DRESS. It’s so flattering, but more importantly SO comfortable. It reminds me of the Leith dress from Nordstrom but it's half the price and way better quality, in my opinion. I’m wearing a medium and I have a little room to move around so it’s not skin tight." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This dress is soo cute and the material is great for how cheap it is! I was so impressed by the quality. I ordered a size bigger than normal and I probably could have gotten my normal size but I wanted to have it a little longer so I could wear it to work!" —Gracyn Herman
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and 26 colors).
Promising review: "I love love love this dress. I want to wear it every day. It is so well made and a nice heavy cotton. The color does not fade or wrinkle easily at all. I did order it in two sizes but I only kept it in the smaller size. It was still long enough to be comfortable. One thing to remember is that the bow in the back is not a real bow so you can’t adjust it to be tighter. Like I said before, I love love love this dress. I got the XL and I am 5'10" and I wear a US 14." —Tori
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and in 15 colors).
Promising review: "So cute! I am usually a dress size 6/medium, but I definitely had to size down with this dress. A small was still a bit roomy but the stretchy material on top made it flattering! The dress is exactly as pictured. Love the color. I was worried about the quality because it was so inexpensive, but it’s actually really nice and not see-through at all! Such a perfect dress for vacation!" —JP0811

Promising review: "Love love love it! Totally worth the price. It has a zipper so it’s easier to get on. The straps are hard to tie in a cute bow by yourself, it’s definitely easier with someone’s help. But this dress is so cute, just buy it!" —Shelby Dixon
Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in sizes 0-10 and in three colors).
Promising review: "I love this dress! For reference, I’m 5'6”, 175 lbs., and I am wearing an XL. It came the next day and fits so well! It’s light and airy, which keeps you cool. It’s a little short so if you’re not into that, be aware. I dressed it up with heels for a wedding and will be dressing it down with sandals for an easy, breezy summer look. 10/10 recommend." —Katherine Klunder (Fontanez)
Get it from Amazon for $24.89 (available in sizes S-XL and in six colors).
Promising review: "Love this dress! Such a great find for a great price. Easy to dress up with heels or booties or dress down with flats or sandals. The color is perfect. The material is thin but not in a bad way. It’s so soft and comfortable. The top part falls nicely and the bottom part stretches and hugs perfectly. The ruching looks awesome. The skirt is double layered so the thinness of the material isn’t a problem there either. Perfect length. The small fit just fine but I kept the medium for comfort. It had just a little more room and length. Also, I wasn’t sure how it would wash so if it does shrink just a tad I’ll still be ok." —J&J

Promising review: "I am obsessed with this dress. I LOVE IT! I get compliments all the time. I do have small boobs, so it fits me awesome. I am seriously buying another one just in case something happens to this one. The stripes match, it’s well-made, the fabric is LOVELY! It’s the perfect length on me. I’m 5’5”, weigh 150 lbs., and my bra size is 36B." —MandeeSparkle

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress — it fits perfectly and it's so adorable. The first day I wore it I got so many compliments and it was so comfortable. It was nice to wear as a dress or even a long shirt with leggings. The color is really cute too. I definitely recommend it and will probably buy more in different colors!" —Jasmine Ball

Promising review: "Great purchase for the price. Just what I was looking for! Comfy summer dress for any occasion. Being a momma, I'm always looking for things just like this. You can dress it up or down and it has pockets!! Can't get much better. Fit is perfect for me — I'm typically a S-M (120 lbs., 32C) and it's like it was made just for me! Armholes are a little longer than most dresses but I like that for the summer so sweat marks don't show! Not see-through so great for any pair of comfy undies. Cute with a belt and also cute with none." —B&E Worthington

Promising review: "Cute and comfortable. I’m 5' and 100 lbs., the small size fits perfectly. Good, flowy material. Doesn’t come with a liner but since it’s a dark color, it’s not see-through. I would still wear one but not a deal-breaker. Would recommend. It also arrived earlier than expected so that’s a plus!!" —Claudia Torres

Promising review: "Quality, fit, and color of this dress is superb. Very fairly priced. The neckline reminds me of a Renaissance or Tudor style, while the skirt has a Gunne Sax feel — very unique and beautiful. I am larger chested (D cup) and the bust fit." —moonandwolf

Promising review: "I'm 5'5" and 130 pounds; I ordered this dress in a medium and typically wear a medium. This dress is absolutely stunning and does not look cheap! I received so many compliments on it. It's very comfortable. The bands on the arm or chest did not slide at all. Great for all types of weather, as it isn't super heavy!" —Kelsey Lynn

Promising review: "I’m 5’3” and 130 lbs. I purchased the white in size medium and absolutely love it! It worked out great for me because floor-length dresses are usually way too long. This is a perfect fit and length, and doesn’t drag. Bought this as a cool summery romantic dress for around the house to the beach. Love the white but plan to buy others In different colors also." —Honest opinion

Promising review: "I loved the colors. This dress is quite comfy, very easy to pack for international travel (doesn’t take up much space), playful, and fun, but easy to wear with tights for a warmer outfit. This was the perfect combination of fun and adventurous and was a great 'outing' dress to travel with." —Addyson Burke
