Promising review: "Comfortable fabric and great lazy fit. So comfortable it is like wearing pajamas in public. The fabric is also thicker, not sheer like some other cheap dresses. The pockets are in a weird spot on me, not low like in the picture more at my waist, but I have a long torso so it might not matter on others." —RaRaB

Promising review: "To know me is to know that I absolutely love maxi dresses! They take the thinking out of trying to put an outfit together, and they’re fun, flirty, and feminine. This dress is no different! It’s not too big or too small and I love the wine color! It’s flattering to the shape, and the perfect dress for date night, going to run errands, or a girl’s night out. The small fits like a small and the criss-cross pattern across the dress adds the perfect amount of detail to a simple chic dress. It does not and will not disappoint. GREAT BUY!" —LoverofPrime

19. A mixed-print maxi that'll be perfect for the teachers who need something nice and comfy to get through the day.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Perfect for a teacher! I was looking for a dress to wear that would be comfortable in front of my students and that had sleeves but wouldn't melt me in the classroom either. This goes right to my ankles (so I won't trip) and the belt is not too small. The chest fits well too, but overall, I'd recommend wearing a tank top underneath it as the fabric is a bit on the thin side. 10/10 would recommend." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in seven styles, including some without sleeves)
