Reviewers say it runs large!
Promising review: "This is the easy, breezy, simple dress I’ve been looking for! It’s super soft with some stretch and has pockets!!! And the tie-dye accent gives it some pizazz so it’s not so plain. You can throw this on for anything. Dress it up with some boots or heels, keep it casual with flip flops or slides. Accessorize with a jean jacket, jewelry, or hats. Want more colors! I normally wear a large in most of my clothes and got the same here; fits loose and flowy as expected." —Ann D.

Promising review: "I love this! So cute and comfortable, and a good length that doesn't make me feel like I'll be flashing someone if I bend over. This makes me feel great.

Reviewers say it generally runs true to size but a bit on the looser side.

Just wait till it's morning; the looks I'm serving all of you! Update: So I ended up buying three different colors of these dresses. I just loved them all. It's like the designer thought of me when they made these dresses! The material feels great on my body. The upper part is stretchy and fits very well." —Olive Bukuru

It's short, but not too short. The sunflower print gives off a totally '90s Saved By the Bell vibe that I really dig. It's very cute and fits very well. I'm anywhere between a 12 and 14, sometimes even a 16, with a C/D chest. I got it in a large. Just get it. You'll like it." —Cathryn

Promising review: "I love this little dress! I ordered a size up as suggested and all is well. I could have gotten away with a size large, but prefer a looser fit. This fabric is soft and the style is amazing. I will wear this in the fall with my patchwork, over-the-knee denim boots. Now I think I will order the navy! : )" —Dee Tee

Get it from Target for $15 (available in XS–4X and in seven colors).
13. A plaid Peter Pan collar dress giving maximum Lexi Howard vibes — I've never even seen Euphoria and I know that much. This cutie can be super sweet or cool and edgy depending on how you style it; personally, I'd rock it with combat boots!
Promising review: "I recently bought a whole bunch of dresses on Amazon, and I gotta say, this one was my favorite of all of them! :) I just love plaid, and this dress with the Peter Pan collar actually looks very similar to an expensive designer dress I had been eyeing! Now I have a budget-friendly look. This dress is very lightweight (I do wish it was a little thicker, but no worries!). I added a petticoat under mine for some extra flare (but it looks good without one, too!). I also added a black bow at the neck for a school uniform feel. Adore it!!" —libbyfranc
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in five colors).

Promising review: "I would give this 6 stars if I could. Fits PERFECTLY! It's a very vibrant forest green color. The material is very soft and the little buttons on the front look like wooden buttons. Stretchy, bouncy material and not see-through. Perfect length for me as well. I would take this dress at any length honestly. Just super comfy and looks great. Oh, and has POCKETS!😆😆❤" —natasha

16. A pretty polka dot number with roomy pockets that's practically perfect — the only way it could get better is if you added ankle booties.
Promising review: "This dress is so pretty!! I was hesitant because it seemed like it might be super cheap-looking, but it's a much higher quality than I expected. It fits like a dream and I feel so pretty in it! It has pockets and it drapes so nicely. You will not be disappointed." —Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $27.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in 17 colors and prints).

Promising review: "I love this dress. It's super cute and can go with anything. I like that it's very light and breathable. I wore this to a backyard barbecue and it was a hit. I will say be cautious because if you are tall, it can be a little short." —Island Envy

18. A cozy maxi dress (with POCKETS!) that'll have you covered — literally — for whatever, be it a fun day out or chillaxing at home. Just toss it on and go (or don't go) anywhere you please.
Promising review: "This dress is awesome! So comfy and has pockets!! I get compliments every time I wear it. It is very long. I am 5'5" and I have to hold it up a little when I walk so I don't step on it. However, I love it! I pair it with a lightweight cardigan and look so put together. ;)" —LaLaLand
Get it from Amazon for $28.99+ (available in sizes L–5XL and in 18 colors and prints).

Check out BuzzFeed's full write-up on this dress.
Promising review: "I'm one of those people who never writes reviews. I found this dress through a BuzzFeed article and couldn't resist the white sunflower one. The material is stretchy and just fits your body so well. I didn't have any problems with it being see-through while I was wearing light gray underwear. The length is cute. The buttons are fake, so they stay uniform all the way down. It's stretchy across the back of the bodice, so bigger-chested women would love this. My mom and I have completely different body types and the size large fits us both amazingly! I'm definitely going to try to order as many prints as I can!" —Courtney Clark
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 39 colors and prints).

Some reviewers recommend sizing up if you're between sizes!
Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!! The material is so lightweight that it’s perfect for summer, and then the buffalo plaid will also look cute and trendy in fall with a jean jacket! Plus I LOVE that there are pockets. The dress is made really well; I was pleased to see it also had a lining so it’s not at all transparent. I saw another review that said it ran a little small and as someone between two sizes I sized up and I’m glad I did. I like that it is more flowy and comfortable-fitting! I will be wearing this dress all summer and then some!" —Theresa St Peter
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in seven colors).
25. A breezy ruffled tunic dress so great for any occasion, it's actually hard to think of places you couldn't wear it. Plus, since it works with or without tights, it's totally seasonless.
Promising review: "I bought this dress because I had read many many reviews about how great it was for the price. I got the tealish green/blue and I LOVED IT from the moment I put it on. The fit was TTS and I loved the ruffled accents. I was even surprised (IN THE BEST WAY) to find pockets as well. I am excited to add this as one of my staple pieces for late summer and even into fall. 10/10 would recommend." —victoria Roof
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XL in 16 styles).

27. An aww-worthy belted number in a sweet print like florals or kitties that'll make standing out from the crowd a ~cinch~.
Promising review: "I LOVE this dress!!!! I can't believe how great it is for the price. The first day I wore it, I got five compliments on it. I'm 5'8" and always have a hard time finding dresses that work for my height, but the length was perfect! I feel confident wearing this dress." —Megan Jackson
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 33 prints).
28. A cute 'n' comfy ombré tie-dye sweatshirt dress, because we are living in the golden age of cozy clothes. A cute dress you'd actually be happy to wear on a long flight or during a Netflix binge? It's what dreams are made of.
29. A bright and beautiful boho chic dress with long sleeves, a breezy silhouette, and tassel details that'll look like something you picked up from a much fancier store or even in your jet-setting world travels. I mean, you did travel from your couch to your doorstep to open the box....
Reviewer's recommend sizing up if you're busty!
Promising review: "Absolutely adore this dress!! The CUTEST! I bought it in the white/tan color and the really colorful turquoise. Love them both! I feel like they are cute multi-seasonal dresses.

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress. This is certainly going to be a staple piece in my wardrobe when it warms up.
