1. A maxi V-neck dress with a faux wrap and leg slit you'll wanna snag in every color and wear to every wedding you're attending. Could this be any more gorgeous?
Promising review: "I bought this dress in floral and also the plain navy one. Loved the material of both but this floral print one was lighter/more breathable than the navy. I got so many compliments on it and it flowed with me when I danced at the wedding! I also loved that the dress is not floor length. It’s long enough to wear wedges but also will not drag on the ground in flip-flops." —Esther P.
Get it from Amazon for $36.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 47 colors).
2. A batwing dress you'll look amazing in! Even your shadiest auntie won't be able to resist telling you how cute you look before telling you that there's lipstick on your teeth in the same breath.
Promising review: "Gorgeous dress. Love this! Wanted something simple for a friend's wedding and this was perfect. The fit was great, form-fitting but not skin tight. The one-shoulder batwing sleeve was so fun and gave it something extra. It’s definitely going to be a staple for me. The quality is pretty good too! I almost wanna get another color I just don’t go out much 😂" —Alyssa
Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes S–2XL and 13 colors)
3. A stunning, flowy maxi dress with the *cutest* open back. Uhmmm, these review photos?! Literally everyone looks soooo gorg in this! Instagram is definitely gonna know this dress cuz of all the pics you'll wanna take at the wedding.
Promising review: "If I had to describe what the perfect dress would be like, I would describe this one. I received so many compliments and people were asking me to send them the link. The most beautiful dress I own!!! Made me feel like a princess! The color is beautiful, and the fit is gorgeous. I love that you can adjust the ties in the back to make it tighter or looser. Very comfy, albeit a tad bit heavy. There’s LOTS of fabric. My only concern was that it felt like the straps that tie at the top were capable of snapping off the dress, but I just loosened it up to where it felt more comfortable. All in all, my new fave dress, and I need one in every color. The length was PERFECT for me as well, I could probably wear wedges with it. I had no problems with it holding up my boobs, I actually felt pretty secure." —Gabba
Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 25 colors).
4. A satin deep-V draped mini bodycon dress you'll slip on and immediately say "yasssss" at how bomb you look. From the scalloped hem detail to the ruching of the skirt, this dress is a total stunner.
5. A satin spaghetti strap dress with a cowl neck that's bound to get the party started. Everyone will wanna know where you got your dress and you'll wanna wear it to every formal event you have to go to.
Reviewers recommend sizing up!
Promising review: "This dress is everything! I bought this for a wedding. It fit SO well. I looked and felt amazing and got so many compliments. I’m typically a 18/20 depending on stretch. This didn’t have stretch but I wore shaping shorts underneath for my own sanity. It does need a little steamer work right out of the bag but I will be bringing it back a lot this summer. I’m considering buying it in other colors!" —Ally
Get it from Amazon for $41.55 (available in sizes XS–5XL and 45 colors).
6. A flowy tie-front maxi dress you can't go wrong with because, I mean, it's stinkin' cute. You'll be dressed to impress and ready to give looks at that summer wedding.
Promising review: "This dress fit like a dream! I wore it to a wedding at 20 weeks pregnant and I received so many compliments. I am on the shorter side, at about 5’2", and it looked great with my curves and baby bump! The top ties so you can adjust it as needed. I was able to wear a nude bra underneath without too many worries of it showing. The fabric was a nice quality. It didn’t smell when it arrived, it was a little staticky, but that came out with a wash! It was easy to steam as well to remove the wrinkles from traveling. I will definitely be purchasing in another color for my baby shower!" —Emmaline
Get it from Amazon for $32.29+ (available in sizes S–2XL and 19 colors).
7. A flirty skater dress with tie straps for you to totally SERVE in. Slay, baby, slay!
Get it from Rebdolls for $44.90 (available in sizes S–5X).
8. An off-shoulder high slit dress that'll be so cute to twirl around in. This flowy little number will have other guests ready to open up Amazon and purchase it for themselves.
9. A halter neckline dress from Walmart because they've always got the *cutest* stuff for the best price. Say it with me guys OKAAAAY WALMART! From the high-low hemline to the stunning lacy details, this dress screams "look at me! Look at me!"
10. An off-the-shoulder skater dress, aka the most comfortable yet elegant dress you'll own. Because seriously, if you've got a loooong wedding to be at all day, don't you wanna be comfy and cute?
Promising review: "I purchased this dress on a whim for a wedding I was attending. I love this dress and I am already looking for another event to wear it to. I received so many compliments on the color and the off-the-shoulder neckline. It is very comfortable, stretchy, and well-made, especially for the price. For reference, I attended an outside wedding in Florida when it was about 85 degrees and very high humidity. My biggest plus was it did not show sweat! A lot of ladies were very jealous. I was comfortable the entire night. I wore the dress for about 12 hours with eight of those being outside. The shoulders did not slip, which sometimes I have problems with when it comes to off-the-shoulder tops and dresses." —Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $43.99 (available in sizes XS–2XL and 19 colors).
11. A fabulous puff-sleeve wrap mini dress you'll wanna dance the night away in. If you're going to the wedding single, you might leave with a new boo.
Get it from Boohoo for $15.20 (available in sizes 2–12 and three colors).
12. An off-shoulder bodycon dress that you'll look amazing in with your hair gelled back and a little gold hoop earring — *bam* you're a total snack.
Get it from PrettyLittleThing for $48 (available in sizes 12–26 and three colors).
13. A lightweight, open-feel lacy tunic dress if your vibe is more of a Wednesday than an Enid. The sleeves are seriously to die for and perfect for warm weather.
Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! I purchased it for an evening event; normally I only wear T-shirt dresses, but needed something a bit dressier. It really looked so cute on. It was incredibly comfortable, nice and loose, but the shorter length kept it from looking frumpy. It was still long enough that I didn’t have to worry about moving around, though. It hangs nicely, has a nice weight, and is surprisingly warm. Love the crocheted arms, beautiful, but not so delicate I had to worry about them. For the black dress, I did not have to wear a slip underneath, as it is lined and I did not find it to be see through at all. I would totally consider getting this in a lighter color for spring/summer. You cannot beat it!" —A Abbott
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–L and two colors).
14. A V-neck faux-wrap dress with ruched detailing and a tie at the waist that'd be perfect for formal or less formal weddings. Such a simple dress but still drop dead gorgeous.
Promising review: "The dress fit as expected. I wore this to a wedding (the first time meeting many of my fiancé's family) dressed up with some nice gold jewelry, clutch, and shoes. I got tons of compliments from everyone. My guy LOVED this dress on me. It held up after washing on delicate and dry on low heat." —Boss Lady G
Get it from Amazon for $31.90 (available in sizes S–XL and 24 colors)

Get it from Rebdolls for $29.65 (originally $59.90; available in sizes M–5X).
16. A stylish sleeveless, high-neck halter dress that can of course be dressed up or down. The adjustable neck will have you falling even deeper in love with this after a few cocktails and dances because you can loosen it up and give yourself a little more room to breathe.
Promising review: "Great fit! I wore this to an elegant wedding reception. I was chasing and dancing with my kids all night, and it held up beautifully. Comfortable to sit in, beautiful material. No zipper, so it’s easy to throw on and go. Lots of compliments!" —Tommy Nigro

Promising reviews: "Loved this dress for a wedding I attended! Fits amazing, super flowy and fun! The purple is the perfect shade! Loved that the shoulders actually stayed down on the arms, never had a problem with them riding up. Paired with a pair of cheetah pumps, I’d wear this to every wedding!" —Kat Stuckey
"I got sooo many compliments on this dress and I felt super comfortable and stylish while wearing it! I got the blue one and it's the perfect color for the beach or summer event.

This cutie little dress can also be worn off-shoulder!
Promising reviews: "I am OBSESSED with this dress. I wore it once and bought it in another color! I wasn’t sure how this dress would look on, but it is perfect! The back is lovely! My roommate and I have started calling this the 'Sisterhood of the Traveling Dress' because everyone who puts it on looks so good in it!!" —A.J.

Soft Classic is a UK-based small biz that specializes in stunning clothing.
Promising review: "This was my first time buying off Etsy and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. The dress itself looks magical, very 'Tinker Bell' like. The size was perfect and, surprisingly, I did not have to make any modifications to the dress. Also, the dress didn't have a strong smell, which was surprising too. Overall I am extremely pleased with the purchase and I would definitely buy from the seller again :) Seriously though, Helen was amazing <3. She notified me whenever the shipping status of the dress changed." —yogurt
Get it from Soft Classic on Etsy for $35.68 (originally $71.37; available in sizes 00–18).
