Promising review: "These dresses are so comfortable and beautiful. I own three of these in the sleeveless version and three in this version. I work from home and these cute dresses make me look good on camera, and at the same time, they’re extremely comfortable. I also live in a very hot area and I only wear cotton. These are 100% cotton which is amazing. I recommend them!" —Charlotte O. Lowe

Promising review: "The material of the dress is very soft. It feels heavy, but it’s very breezy and cool (worn in the summer heat and humidity). The thickness made me more confident that it wasn’t see-through. The adjustable straps are great, and the smocked back makes the top a comfy fit. I’m tempted to get another color." —Kara

Promising review: "I got this dress since I'm working at home now and spending tons of time at my computer. The soft knit fabric is really comfortable for sitting in my home office chair most of the day and still looking nice for time with my hubby. The lace trim at the hem adds a bit of whimsy. It's a bit shorter than I expected (and I'm only 5 feet tall), but it's a great work-at-home dress. Gonna try to order the same dress in other colors. Only one tiny issue: the sleeves are really long — had to fold them into little cuffs." —Dawn Writer

Promising review: "OMG! Awesome!!!!! I bought a medium and it drapes beautifully. I plan to wear it on my shoulders, and the elastic seems strong enough to hold. I bought the white and it’s light and airy — not see-though at all. I'm so thrilled. I will buy it in black ASAP!" —LB
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and eight colors).
Promising review: "I wore this to an outdoor wedding on a hot summer day and the thin fabric kept me cool and comfortable. The dress has a lovely cut for all body types, with the high neck and swing style. I wore an elastic belt to cinch the waist, but it looks great without a belt as well. The pink floral pattern is gorgeous and eye-catching. I got tons of compliments on this dress, and most importantly I felt comfortable and confident in it." —Frannie

Promising review: "This dress is very comfortable and I actually love that it has side pockets. This is a keeper!! I am really excited to be able to wear this and accessorize it with different boots, heels, sandals, etc. The fit is perfect for me and it hits just about at my knees. The feel is very soft and comfortable, even with the elastic sleeves on the upper arm." —Kel

Promising review: "Oh my gosh! This dress is just as cute in person as the photos other reviewers have posted. I agree with them. If you aren't sure...buy it! The fit is spot on. It hits just below the knees on me. Keep in mind this dress can stretch a LITTLE but not a lot. It's super comfortable and you can dress it up or down." —E. Hanson

Lots of reviewers also posted pics of them rocking this with over-the-knee boots, so it'll double as a going-out look when you're actually, well, going out again.
Promising review: "Flattering, sexy, and ridiculously comfy. We have all had the experience of getting home from a night on the town and being so happy and relieved to take off our clothes and put on our comfy wear. Well, I wore this for the first time tonight, came home, took my boots off and then realized I didn't want to change. My main issue with this dress is that I'm going to have to fight with myself not to sleep in it regularly! I'm going to order another one or two of these and may even buy a few for Christmas presents for my sister and mom. We all have completely different body types and this will look amazing on us all. Please make this in more colors so my friends will know that I'm not wearing the same thing every day." —Susan K

I once pogo-sticked while wearing this pinafore, and my gorgeous girlfriend swears by it as well!
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS SKIRT. Seriously it's soo cute on. It's comfortable. The straps keep your blouse or shirt from bunching and riding up. The little pearl accessory on the zipper is such a classic detail too. I love it so much I bought two more in different colors. Recommend10/10." —Leah Sassman

Promising review: "Fits well and comfortable! I typically wear a L/XL (mostly XL) in T-shirts and I bought these in a large, as I didn’t want the dress to look like a tent on me. It fit perfectly. These dresses are a comfortable alternative to my T-shirts and shorts for running errands or lounging around!" —KlaOh
