Promising review: "This was in a BuzzFeed article and I thought I’d give it try. OMG, I’m so glad I did! I wear a pant size 10 and the medium fits perfectly. I got the blue and it’s definitely more of a navy. It’s beautiful." —Ray

As someone who doesn't wear leather for ethical reasons, I'm OBSESSED with the huge faux leather trend for fall. It feels like every brand I see these days, from affordable ones to splurge-worthy labels, is cutting jackets, dresses, skirts, and more in the more animal-friendly material.
Get it from Forever 21 for $38 (available in sizes S-L and in two colors).
Promising review: "I purchased this dress for a wedding. I was a little nervous about the low back; I can’t/won’t go without a bra and pasties don’t work for me. I was happy to see that the straps were adjustable, so my strapless bra worked perfectly with it. I got tons of compliments all night, and who doesn’t love a dress with pockets? The fabric is stretchy so you have a little wiggle room on the size." —Mandee
Get it from Amazon for $35.92 (available in sizes XS-XXL and in 34 colors and prints).
Promising review: "This dress looks like it came from a high-end boutique. The fabric, stitching, and cut are all way above this dress's price point. The bust measurement is the most critical thing to get right when deciding which size to purchase. The dress is has give at the waist and hip. If you have a 36" bust measurement, the size 6 will be too snug. The way the dress hangs and the quality of the workmanship and fabric truly make you look like you spent several hundred dollars on it." —MoxieLoxie

Promising review: "Must have! Great dress for cooler days and nights. Fabric allows dress to flow softly as you move. Old Navy gets it right with pockets!" —Elizabeth Ohio

Promising review: "I fell in love with this dress the moment I put it on. The material is lightweight and the stitching and pattern are perfect. I'm 5'2" and 150 lbs and a a size 36DD, and I purchased a large. It's not tight in the bust or arms." —Kandy & Josh Turner

Promising review: "So cute — I get so many compliments on this! Even friends ask to borrow it! Works great by itself or with a blazer. Only complaint is that it could be a little longer, as sizing up would make it baggy. Great for winter or summer and the pockets are perfect!" —Virginia Redgate

Promising review: "It's a gorgeous dress!!!!! I wore a bra but no Spanx — didn't need them. The quality is great! There's a stretchy, knit band sewn in the back that acts like a belt for more of a form-fitting fit. It's really comfortable and the zipper is substantial. I might buy it in navy too." —Madison Ave Kids

Promising review: "Super cute! I love the buttons on the sleeve and the down the side of the dress. You can wear it with heels, booties, or flats. It's a really light fabric, but not see-through. It has two belt loops and a matching belt. It's perfect for a date or just a casual day out. I love it!" —chelsea

Promising review: "OMG! This is like the best dress I've ever purchased. The style, the material, the design, and the way it hugs my figure is to die for. I cannot believe how cheap this dress was.

Promising review: "When I first saw this dress I couldn't believe it was so inexpensive. I almost thought it was too good to be true. I ordered the rose gold and it blew me away. This dress easily looks about $200-$300 with the beautiful sequins and overall style. I'm fairly curvy and it fit amazingly." —bellaxo

Promising review: "This sweet dress is totally on-trend, with the ruffles, drape, and floral motif. Very pretty! Love the fabric. The shoulders and sleeves are sheer; the bodice is lined. The length is on the short side, and it works great with opaque tights and booties. It can even work over leggings, or bare-legged with some strappy heels." —Oliver DeMille, TJEd
