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 has more room at the waist and hip. 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: "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

Promising review: "I'm always looking for interesting, casual, easy pieces, and I love this one. I'm 5'3", so I wasn't sure how the length would be, but it's awesome — not too short and not too long. The cut has more of a bell shape than I was expecting, but the drape of the material helps quite a bit and it's cute worn loose or cinched. The material itself has nice drape, but a nice touch of structure, too. I'm super picky about material, but this is super soft — not quite modal, but close. I dig it." —Resa

Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this dress. I ordered the large because I’m large in the breast area and I was worried it would be too tight, but I honestly could have gotten away with the medium, so I would say this dress is pretty true to size. The overall dress is great quality, soft, and comfortable, the pockets aren't skimpy or small, and the dress isn't see-through. I want one in every color." —Tasia B

Promising review: "This dress had me at pockets! What a great dress, especially for work! It has pockets on both sides, a work-appropriate hemline, and the material is the kind where you can sit for hours, but it'll never show a wrinkle! With wedges, it's the perfect outfit for work: comfy and practical yet classy." —AprilAries

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: "This dress is killer. The fabric is high quality and the lace isn't delicate enough to rip. I can't tell you how amazing I felt in this. It's so beautiful. Underneath the lace, there's a layer of fabric to shield you from any see-through mishaps. There are also rubber straps in the shoulder area so that the dress doesn't slip off, which is so ingenious! I wore it for over 10 hours at a wedding and I had no problems. I just love this dress! Buy it!" —Jennifer

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

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
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and in 13 designs).
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

Promising review: "Super comfy. It's very good quality, which surprised me. It's one of the hidden gems of Amazon. I ordered the biggest size they had as I thought it might run small, but I definitely could've gotten away with my true size. Regardless, it's roomy and very warm." —Brooke B

Am I biased because I'm wearing a leopard print dress as I type this? Maybe. Am I contemplating buying this one as well because one can never have too many LLDs? No comment.
Promising review: "My dress arrived and I'm VERY pleased. I'm a big fan of the pockets — always a plus — and I also like the extra belt loop on the back of the dress, which helps keep the belt in place. Love it and can't wait to wear it." —Murtle

Promising review: "If you've heard good things about this dress, they're true! 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 grey underwear. The length is cute, it hugs you in the right spots, and the buttons are fake so they stay uniform all the way down. It's stretchy across the back of the bodice, so bigger-chested people would love this. Me and my mom have completely different body types and the large fits us both amazingly! I'm definitely going to try to order as many prints as I can!" —Courtney Clark

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 are to die for. I cannot believe how cheap this dress was. I purchased the teal and the dark pink and then ordered the royal blue. This is now my favorite dress. I can't wait until my hubby sees me in it. We might never make it to dinner. Lol 😆." —Brooke S

Promising review: "Love the pattern and the fit! The comfortable elastic high waist fits perfectly, the flutter sleeves are very flattering, and it's a perfect above-the-knee length. The fabric is somewhat sheer, so it's cool, light, and airy even though it has a dark background. I like this dress best of all the dresses I've bought on Amazon!" —DeeJay

I ordered it on Thursday for a '20s-themed wedding I had on Sunday and was STRESSED the whole time about it fitting because I had no backup plan! It arrived in time and FIT PERFECTLY!

Promising review: "Okay, I love this dress! It's great quality and fits me like I had it tailor-made. There are so many colors, but I wanted the yellow and I'm so happy I made the purchase! When wearing a strapless bra, I'm always concerned that my girls won't sit up, but the dress fit me perfectly in the bust area, so much so it helped keep me up. 😍😍 I felt beautiful in this dress and I'll purchase another color soon." —DaughterOfaKing7
