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.

It's also machine washable!

Promising review: "I am so obsessed with this hoodie dress! It is soooo comfortable but so chic. Perfect material (not normal heavy sweatshirt material) and it lays perfectly. Perfect for errands or casual days. I got a large and it fits great (I'm size 14 and DDD chest)." —Regina K.

Reviewers say it generally runs true to size but a bit on the looser side.
Promising review: "This dress was made for me. Listen, guys, saying this dress is beautiful is such an understatement. Listen, it's the middle of the night and I'm feeling myself. 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

This Vietnam-based shop sells all kinds of flowy, vintage-y garments like this one!
Promising review: "This is my favorite Etsy purchase...ever. The quality. The uniqueness. The beauty of the simplicity of it. The friendliness of the seller in helping me choose the right color. I. Feel. Like. A. Million. Bucks. Can I have 10 more please?" —Meredith S

Get it from Loft for $53.52 (originally $89.95; available in sizes 00–18 regular, petite, and tall).
10. 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

Promising review: "This is probably one of my favorite online clothing purchases ever. You never quite know what you're going to get, but this one actually exceeded my expectations. 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

Several reviewers recommend sizing up!
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 Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in five colors).
14. 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 $30.99 (available in sizes S–XL and in 21 olors and prints).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress. This is certainly going to be a staple piece in my wardrobe when it warms up. I love the cut of the dress as well, it’s not too short, but just short enough. The built in one-piece is great! The shorts are just long enough that I feel super comfortable." —Pilar B.
Get it from Girlfriend Collective for $88 (available in sizes XXS–6XL and in five colors).
16. A button-front midi that is quite possibly the most perfect sundress of all time (it's got over 6,000 positive ratings).
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 $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 39 colors and prints).
17. 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 $25.99 (available in sizes S–XL in 15 styles).
18. A versatile knit midi dress in a gorgeous pink shade, because with the movie coming out this summer, Barbiecore isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Dress this up or dress this down — life is your creation.
19. A tiered, sleeveless gingham frock for anyone who realized during stay-at-home times that waistbands should be permanently cancelled and sack dresses should be permanently embraced. This baby will ~check~ all your boxes.
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 $34.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in eight colors).
20. An eyelet-bodiced boho mini with adjustable straps and a flirty vibe that, all in all, make it a *perfect* pick for your next warm-weather vacay.
Reviewers say it runs a bit big and can be too short for tall folks, but also works great as a swimsuit cover-up!
Promising review: "LOVE!! This is the perfect summer dress, helps fight the heat and looks great. I love how flowy it is, and the material is great. It is on the shorter side, but I don't mind. It does also run a little big, but you can't notice, still so cute." —Jaelyn P.
Get it from Lulus for $58 (available in sizes XXS–XL).
21. An easy and breezy pocketed polka dot maxi dress that's a ~spot-on~ choice for anyone who values comfort and style equally.
Reviewers say it runs a bit large!
Promising review: "Love the dress. Fits well. Loose but I like it like that. Nice fabric. Flowy and soft. It's an easy-breezy dress for spring and summer. Straps are adjustable. Doesn't drag the ground but it is long. Pockets are nice touch." —Pamela Justice
Get it from Amazon for $30.99 (available in sizes 4–22 and in 11 prints).
22. A red hot cutie with a dainty floral print and flirty side slit that'll make striking a pose on a sunny day pretty much *mandatory.*

Get it from Beginning Boutique for $64.99 (available in sizes 0–12).
23. A long-sleeved T-shirt dress that seems basic, but is there anything basic about over 18,000 5-star ratings? Didn't think so.

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 $33.99 (available in sizes L–5XL and in 18 colors and prints).
26. 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 $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 33 prints).

Get it from ModCloth for $98 (available in sizes 2–16).
28. A comfy three-quarter-sleeve dress, which is way more than three-quarters awesome. You'll give it a 4/4, 10/10, or whatever you want to call it for versatility, style, and POCKETS!
29. A berry-hued plissé shirtdress that feels like what royalty would wear to lounge around the castle...but that would be even better paired with white sneaks for brunch.
Get it from Rebdolls for $59.90 (available in sizes L–5X).
30. 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. You can wear them with sandals in the summer or boots and a cute vest/jacket for fall. Fits perfectly!" —GEM
Get it from Amazon for $31.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 38 prints).
31. A ruffle-strap tiered mini that can be rocked off the shoulder or on, because versatility is *key*, people. Plus, the asymmetric hem gives it a high-fashion feel (which contrasts beautifully with its not-at-all-high price tag).
Get it from Target for $25 (available in sizes XXS–4X and in four colors).
32. A breezy bell-sleeve striped tunic dress sure to pair perfectly with ankle boots, sneakers, and flip flops alike — not to mention jewelry of every color of the rainbow.
