    Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews for clothes off of Amazon, but good lordy I am so in love with this dress, I just HAVE to!! I am IN LOVE and am wishing it was warmer weather so I could wear it out and about! First, it is a true wrap dress in that you feed one side through the other, therefore you can adjust how tight or loose it is. Modest? Show some cleavage? Up to you! 😍 Second, it is the PERFECT length for me. Lastly, normally a short ruffle sleeve doesn't fall right on me and makes me look like a football player... these fall immaculately fluttery on me. All in all, I freaking love this dress! And was not prompted in any way to provide a review but felt so compelled when I tried it on! If you are on the fence like I have been for over a year, GET IT!!" —Jess

    Promising review: "Ethereally beautiful!! This dress is absolutely LOVELY. It’s so lightweight, breezy, and comfortable. It fits perfectly, and the bodice has plenty of stretch so if you’re in between sizes, you could go either way. I actually sized down because I wanted to wear it on the shoulders and didn’t want the sleeves slipping off, but I didn’t have an issue with that at all. It’s wrinkly when it arrives, but a quick steam makes it look so much nicer and more expensive than it is. I got the sage green color and it’s not see-through, it’s beautiful. (I actually returned it in favor of a color I thought I’d wear more, but if green is your fave then you’ll love it). Get this dress!" —Laura

    Shopping Editor Elizabeth Lilly owns this in green and here's what she has to say about it: 

    "I get compliments on this dress every time I wear it and people are always surprised when I tell them I snagged it from Amazon. I was mulling over a pricier, shorter, fluffier, i.e. less practical dress that's been haunting me on Instagram. But this helped satisfy that shopping craving." 

    Promising review: "It’s super cute, comfortable, and I received a ton of compliments on it. I ordered a medium but could have gone with a small. Ordering another color because I liked it so much." —Amber Nelson

    Promising review: "I can’t say enough wonderful things about this dress. I was worried it would make me look a lot larger but it was so lovely and I felt like a princess. The material wasn’t itchy at all and the built-in slip was opaque and the perfect length. I added a ribbon belt for a little added definition to my body shape and I absolutely loved it. I need one in every color now." —Sonia A Pena

    Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 10 colors).

    Promising review: "I have been wanting this same dress from a store in the mall but it was $118. I was leery about this considering it was much cheaper in cost but it is PERFECT! It fit absolutely perfectly. Great length too. Keep in mind you can't wear a bra with it and if you are larger-busted (I'm small, an A cup) then it may fit totally different. It's thin and lightweight but with skin-colored undies, I had no problem with lines or visibility. I'm considering buying it in another color." —Bullitt02797

    Promising review: "The Ellie Nap Dress is perfection! After about a year of Instagram telling me I needed a Nap Dress, I finally took the leap after having an emergency appendectomy.

I've worn my Ellies for napping (duh), to work basically every day, out for girls' night, around the town in NYC, on airplanes, on the beach in Aruba, etc. It's perfect for just about any occasion, and SO, SO comfortable!" —Michelle
