Promising review: "Dress is amazing, soft material and so pretty. Always get so many compliments every time I wear it. Large-chested women should be aware the that halter-style ties will hurt your neck after several hours of wear but besides that it fit amazing and was very flattering." —Emily Rowan

Promising review: "This dress is love! I was a little concerned about how it was going to fit but it's absolutely perfect. The stretch is just enough to enhance my figure and it's so soft. Only downside I saw was having to button every single one of those devil buttons, but it was easy enough, just tedious. I want every color now." —Colleen K

Promising review: "I bought this when it was on sale but I love it. I’m 5-foot-5, 140lbs and got a medium and it fit perfectly. I love that it’s cotton and has pockets and is stretchy. The buttons are just for decoration which isn’t a con in my opinion. I like the criss cross back straps that are adjustable too. Exceeded expectations and I look forward to wearing it again!" —Nicole

Promising review: "Amazon COP! This dress is super cute, reminds me of something you would get at urban outfitters for triple the price! Got this dress for a trip to a desert and I felt so cute and confident in it! For reference I ordered a size small. I would consider this dress true to size. I am 5-foot-6, 34A, 135lbs. The waist is super adjustable." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This dress is easy and breezy. It's the perfect warm-weather piece. The fabric is lightweight and has no stretch. There's a functional drawstring waistband for cinching. The ruffle sleeves are feminine and flattering on the arm. The hem hit me just above the knee. Bonus: POCKETS!! For fit reference, I'm 5-foot-6, 153 lbs and a 34G bra size. I'm wearing the large." —Antoinette

Promising review: "Loved this dress — we wedding-crashed as surprise bridesmaids (well-received BTW!). Fit, material, and quality were awesome! Length was a bit different. I’m 5 feet even and it was a great length. My friend is 5-foot-10 and it was too short—like hilariously inappropriately short. 😳 But, all in all, grateful for our purchase! Would buy — and wear — again!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Absolutely love this dress. I ordered this dress for a work conference. It’s very flattering. I am 5-foot-3 and 200 lbs. I ordered a XXL just so it wouldn’t be tight on the breast area. I will be using it on my upcoming cruise as well for formal night." —Leanne Crooks
Get it from Amazon for $7.96+ (available in sizes S-3XL and 22 colors/styles).
Promising review: "This dress is so comfortable! I’m usually a size 4-6 with dresses- or medium. Reading the reviews, I ordered the size small. I think an extra small would’ve been a perfect fit, but this fits well and comfortable. The elastic in the middle doesn’t bother me and it is placed at the waist. A cute waist belt will add the perfect touch! Also, I’m 5-foot-4 and it hits just right at my feet (it’s not at the ankles like the picture shows). It doesn’t drag, which is always a problem I usually have ordering dresses." —Ariana

Promising review: "This dress is so cute! I really had doubts when I ordered it. But it fit so well. I ordered a small. I had a tad bit of room in the waist, but it fit perfectly in the chest.

Promising review: "I am in love with this dress!! So flattering and so many compliments!!! I wish I could wear it every day haha! Seriously. If you’re on the fence... just order it. I am usually a medium but I ordered a large bc short dresses can be challenging for me bc I have a larger behind. It’s great bc it fit perfectly for my behind but was a little loose everywhere else however, it’s an adjustable dress so I was able to put it tight so it fit everywhere perfectly." —Caroline Shores

You can dress it up or down, the possibilities are endless! I love the way it looks with a cardigan thrown over it!
This dress is lightweight and very soft. The length is perfect, it hits right above my knee. I do think it runs a little big, you can safely size down one if not two sizes. I will be wearing this dress on repeat!" —Kymberlee Fisher

Promising review: "I bought it as a daily deal. A simple black dress that you can dress up or down for less than 20 bucks, sold. This dress is ah-mazing, very comfortable. It’s double lined. I couldn’t see any of my undergarments showing, I feel like it even helped smooth out that little back fat I get with my bra." —Alicia
