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." —Brooke Murray

Promising review: "LOVE this dress, am ordering it in two other colors for all of the weddings and accompanying parties that go along with them that I have this year! It’s super lightweight while still being a great material that isn’t at all see-through! It fit perfectly in the hip area while still giving me plenty of room in the upper part of the dress and arms." —Kari Bryant

Promising review: "I bought this wrap dress to take on vacation in Mexico. I read some reviews that made me think it might be better as a pool cover-up. If it didn't stay together in the front. I actually wore it several times in the evening for casual dinner. It's super comfortable, cool in the tropical heat, and I love the drape of the fabric. It is soft and not see-through. I did wear a lacy, color-coordinated bralette with it because the neckline is very low and can gape a bit. A tiny safety pin helps too. It is a true wrap dress. It runs a bit small. It covered my backside and I didn't fear to sit down or squat. I've only hand washed and hung to dry. It might shrink if machine washed, colors may bleed." —SHARON DALE WELCH

Promising review: "Perfect spring dress or hot summer day around the house. Shipping was very fast. Material is cool and the dress is cut a little bit larger than true-to-size but it’s fine for the style." —MamaToTwo

Promising review: "I get so many compliments on it! The material is light and flowy, and breathable. It feels like a cotton/polyester mix, perfect for a hot day! It also travels well, no wrinkles! The tag says to dry clean, but I've been able to wash it on a gentle cycle, no issues. I will be buying more of this dress with other patterns for sure. The tie is attached to the dress on the inside of the center of the bust so you can adjust the knot." —MeganSM

Promising review: "I loved this dress and so did everyone else. Got a lot of compliments on it. It has a zipper but I didn't even need to unzip. It's very forgiving around the mid-section. The only con is that in the white, it's a tad bit see-through, but nude undergarments did the trick. Also, the slit sort of opens up a lot when you sit down. Just be careful. Very minor complaints. It's soft and I just washed and dried it and it looks just fine." —J MERC

Promising review: "Love this dress! It is comfortable and well made. Being strapless there’s always a concern that it will slip down but I did not have that issue at all. I received so many compliments! Highly recommend!" —Lisa Marram-Haug
Get it from Amazon for $21.66+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 24 colors and prints).
Promising review: "Love, love this dress!!! Bought it in another print as well. I can still wear it as my weight fluctuates. Love it as I have big shoulders and am 36DDD." —Gina Jernigan
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 10 colors).
Promising review: "This dress is adorable. Fun and flirty without being too revealing. You can’t wear a bra or silicone lifters because they will show. Pasties are the best option. The tie-back allows you to make the top as tight or loose as you choose. This also helps keep the straps on your shoulders. You cannot see through this material. It’s made of lightweight polyester which prevents that. My daughter says she received so many compliments on this dress that she had to text me. Yay! Who doesn’t love mom points? I would highly recommend this dress." —tng360

Promising review: "Super soft fabric. I love that it's not clingy, but I did size up. The sleeves cover my upper arms without being tight which is a definite plus since my biceps and triceps are large from working out lifting weights. The pockets are lower than what I consider useful and I have long arms — that is my only complaint. I will purchase in other colors." —Dr Q

Promising review: "Beautiful, beautiful — what a gorgeous dress! Simple and elegant! I usually wear a large but after reading all the reviews I decided to go with a medium. That was the right choice. It was flattering, the material was soft, and not see-through. I wore wedges so the length was perfect! Don’t think about it, just get it!!!!" —Maria Pinto-Bedoya

Promising review: "This dress was EVERYTHING! The fit was perfect for my expectations. I noticed a lot of the reviews say the dress runs large so I ordered a medium. It seems as if the sizing is on a Torrid type of scale bc there's NO WAY I'm a medium dress lol. Either way, I'll be ordering more dresses." —Evie

Promising review: "This dress is both cute AND comfortable — a rare find! I originally purchased Floral07 (which is my personal favorite!) and loved it so much my spouse went back and ordered Floral06 and Floral21 (which is their favorite <3). I’ve read a couple reviews mentioning the color fading, but I believe that can be avoided as long as you don’t throw these dresses in your tumble dryer. I’ve been wearing and washing these dresses for several months now and haven’t experienced any fading — I just hang dry them in my bathroom." —Gwyn

Promising review: "It’s a quality dress for the price. It’s lightweight and the 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. It's a beautiful pattern." —Kyra

Promising review: "This dress is even BETTER than I expected it to be! I first saw this dress in Old Navy. I asked the woman wearing it where she got it and she told me Amazon AND let me check her tag so I could order it myself. I loved this dress so much the day I wore it but I waited until I washed it to write a review. It washed up great! I let it line dry instead of tossing it in the dryer but that is typical of what I do for my dresses. This dress is so comfortable, the material is buttery soft — I did wear a slip under it but I don’t think that would be necessary, it breathed well (I wore it to an outdoor wedding in July heat and humidity), and I really can not say enough good things about this dress. It fit true-to-size and I am looking to buy another pattern to wear to yet another upcoming outdoor wedding." —Denise Dykstra
Get it from Amazon for $30.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 10 colors).
Promising review: "The dress fits SO well and hugs every curve! Packs well and does not wrinkle. No bra needed since you tie the front of the bust to your liking. The fabric is not high quality but at the same time, it is the perfect stretch to suck in the curves. With wedges, it is the perfect length. I highly recommend this dress!" —Natalie Curtis
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 16 colors).
Promising review: "This dress got lots of compliments. I chose to size up to a medium only because there’s no stretch in the fabric and I have broad shoulders/bigger bust (34D). Nice light fabric. Didn’t get overly wrinkled while sitting in the heat during a graduation ceremony." —browneyes
Get it from Amazon for $23.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 13 prints and colors).
