In case you're looking to feel more put together than you do in sweats while still being cozy. After all, pants are honestly overrated.
Promising review: "I bought this dress because it was an inexpensive alternative to a tank top and yoga pants while working at home. It's so light and breezy, yet it isn't revealing. I love it, so I ordered a few more in various colors." —Kenlie

Say it with me: It has pockets!!!
Promising review: "I got this dress since I'm working at home now and spending tons of time at my computer. The soft knit fabric is really comfortable for sitting in my home office chair most of the day and still looking nice for time with my hubby. The lace trim at the hem adds a bit of whimsy. It's a bit shorter than I expected (and I'm only 5 feet tall), but it's a great work-at-home dress. Gonna try to order the same dress in other colors. Only one tiny issue: the sleeves are really long — had to fold them into little cuffs." —Dawn Writer

Promising review: "I ordered this dress not expecting much for the price, but I do have to say I was pleasantly surprised! It was super comfy! The sleeves aren’t super short, but not too long either! The length comes right to the middle of my knees (I’m 5-foot-5). I’m definitely buying some other colors!" —Nanci Z.

Promising review: "Fits well and comfortable! I typically wear a L/XL (mostly XL) in T-shirts and I bought these in a large, as I didn’t want the dress to look like a tent on me. It fit perfectly. These dresses are a comfortable alternative to my T-shirts and shorts for running errands or lounging around!" —KlaOh

Promising review: "I like it a lot. It's super comfortable to wear around the house. I love it! I sleep in it, cook in it, lounge on the couch in it, take the dogs out in it, and I put it on as soon as I get home from work. I love the material. I've washed this five or six times now and it is still in excellent condition! Thank you." —Rachel Brown

Promising review: "I loved this look and couldn’t decide on color so I got two, pink and white! I’m usually an extra small/small and opted for the small and I’m glad I did! Perfect fit! Top half is like a bralette with supportive built-in padding, and the bottom is flowy and perfect like every Free People dress ever!" —Tarabahm

Reviewers say it runs a bit large!
Promising review: "Very comfortable, love the pockets! I wanted an easy maxi dress to lounge around the house during the hot summer, and this is perfect. Super lightweight, thin but not see-through. Very happy with my purchase! I got a size 6, and I’m 5 feet tall and 114 lbs. The dress fits loose and comfortably, which is what I wanted." —L.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in sizes 4-22 and in 11 prints).
Promising review: "This dress is sooo comfortable. It looks better in person in my opinion. Just like in the picture, it is close to the body without being huggy or a body-con. The arms are not tight and there's no weird sagging in the sleeves from the open shoulders. This dress can really go from day to night. A new favorite for me." —MACH 5

I'm a longtime fan of this brand, which is known for their unbelievably soft and cozy fabric.
Get it from Wildfox for $98 (available in sizes XS-XL).
Promising review: "This dress has a beautiful floral print that's perfect for any occasion. Date night, work, party, hanging around the house. I am always looking for clothes that can be versatile. The best part of this dress is the material. Sometimes T-shirt dresses are a stiff cotton material that just isn't very comfortable, and it's always hard to tell when buying online. The material on this dress, though, is so nice. It's light, stretchy, and so soft. The fit is great and the dress is flowy, but nice and form-fitting around the arms. Great buy!" —B Siegel

Reviewers say it has some stretch and runs a bit on the large side!
Promising review: "I'm typically a medium/large in clothing. The large was a little big, I could have gone with a medium. (I'm 5-foot-4 and 160 lbs). That's OK with me, since I wanted the dress to wear as a lounge dress when I'm at home relaxing. It's perfect! When the dress arrived, I was surprised to see that the dress was a beautiful color, just like the picture, and super soft! I will be ordering another one!" —Kathryn A. Majkrzak
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and in nine colors and prints).
Reviewers say it's long enough to even work for tall folks!
Promising review: "I've ordered four of these now! They are so comfy, well-made, and beautiful. I get so many compliments when I wear them. I can dress them up for a night out or to go to work. They're so comfortable, I can wear them around the house and even to bed! And when I wake up after sleeping in one, I can brush my teeth and hair and walk right out the door, and look great! I paired this $20 dress with a $7 pendant necklace from Walmart and the reaction from several people was, 'Wow! You look really nice today,' even from strangers. I'm 5'7", 155 lbs, and a little busty. Medium fits perfectly. It's a perfect length on me with a heel; a little long for flats. For flats or bare feet, I just gather it and tie a knot near my shin and it drapes beautifully from that." —JannyBananny
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S-XXL and in 14 colors and prints).
Promising review: "A wonderful flowing dress to wear around the house and out. I had surgery around the stomach area and I wanted something loose to wear and this was a perfect dress to lounge around in and to go places when I did. For a size 14-16, get the XL." —Tami Lemley
