    1. A satin slip dress that is basically an elevated version of that Zara dress everyone loves on TikTok. With an empire waist, v-neckline, and a drapey, cowl back, this version is absolutely to die for.

    6. An emerald green cowl neck maxi dress so you can be the most complimented wedding guest around. Honestly, looking this good, you might want to make sure the bride doesn’t see you!

    7. A dreamy, draped midi dress with a tulip hemline that one reviewer describes as a “show stopper.” Some items simply *have* to be complimented by random girls on the street — and this is one of them.

    8. An off-the-shoulder maxi with lantern sleeves, so you can feel like actual royalty. With a lightweight, gauzy fabric and a high slit, you can expect to receive compliments from fellow adults who love your look AND little kids who think you're a new Disney princess.

    10. A sleeveless floral jacquard maxi dress because it has an empire waist, a one-shoulder flounce strap, and a tier of cascading ruffles. Did we mention the asymmetrical hemline too? This dress is *so* special that compliments are sure to follow.

    11. An elegant midi dress with a mock neck, ruffled hem, and a darted bodice, aka this is the type of dress that can be worn anywhere — add a pair of heels and some statement jewelry for a formal occasion, or throw on sneakers for a more casual (yet totally compliment-worthy) outfit.

    12. A ruffled maxi dress with the cutest tied bodice for a '70s-inspired vibe. The gauzy, woven chiffon fabric and lightweight sleeves makes it the perfect dress for a warm summer night.
