Promising review: "This dress fits every occasion! I love the fact you can dress it up with a belt or dress it down and let it hang loosely. The fabric is also very thick and durable, so it's definitely not cheaply made. It's worth the price you're paying! It doesn't shrink when washing. Overall very satisfied with my purchase. <3" —Hilary Lynn

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

Promising review: "I searched through about 300 'cocktail dress with long sleeves' options before finding this gem! The material is great — it stands up to wrinkles/long car rides and doesn’t cling at all. The cut is (really) low so I got some skin/fabric tape to close it up. This is a large; a medium would probably have been too short. I love it!" —Amazon Customer

I absolutely love this dress, and I didn't want to take it off at the end of the day. Comfortable, lightweight, easy, absolutely beautiful, and true to size." —Mushka

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 so cute! This dress is comfortable with pockets (a nice plus!). I wore it for Christmas with leggings and boots and added a black belt.

Promising review: "I rarely write reviews...especially for a dress that costs so little. However, this one is awesome and everyone needs to buy it. I got a ton of compliments when I wore this to work, and then decided to wear it on a Hinge date that night. The date was drunk, but the dress was fabulous. Buy this, wear it to work, wear it on lame dates, wear it to the coffee shop. Wear it everywhere. It's cute and comfy. The only thing I wish is that it had pockets." —Angela Paglino

Promising review: "I never write reviews but I just have to tell you what a great dress this is. Very well made, lots of stretch to the fabric, and even an extra little snap button across the bust for reinforcement (in the area that normally gaps). Color is great, so is the price. I saw quite a few dresses out there that were much more expensive." —MG

Promising review: "When I first received this and tried it on, I wasn’t sure I liked it. It sat in my closet for a few weeks. However, one morning I thought I would wear it to work, so I paired the tunic with thick black tights and black ankle boots. I don’t think I’ve ever had so many compliments on an outfit before! All day, people stopped me to tell me how much they liked my outfit. One woman I worked with said I looked '10 feet tall and bulletproof.' This tunic made me feel stylish for possibly the first time in my life. So happy!" —LadyDoc
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and in six colors).
Promising review: "This is one of my absolute favorite work dresses of all time! I feel like Joan from Mad Men every time I wear it. I get compliments every time. This dress looks even better with a skinny belt, and the mock turtleneck collar is a classy detail that pulls it all together. The fabric is stretchy enough to hug your curves, but not cheap looking. It's thin enough to be comfortable, lightweight and breathable, while still being opaque and good quality. Oh, and it doesn't wrinkle!! I'm usually a size US 14/16, and the 2XL fits me like a glove." —Rebecca
Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 15 colors and prints).

It's got pockets and over 1,500 5-star reviews! Reviewers recommend sizing up if you want it slouchy.
Promising review: "This has got to be my favorite piece of clothing that I own right now. So far I own both the red and the orange, and I'm buying the black next. These sweaters are so ridiculously comfortable, and as a plus-sized woman comfortable AND cute can be hard to find. The pockets do jut out a bit weirdly when you first get it, but once you wash it that will go away. This actually fit as expected." —HappilyContent

I'm a huge fan of this incredible NYC-based small business and their absolutely wild, whimsical clothes that my maximalist dreams are made of. I've visited their pop-ups a couple times and purchased some of their fun tops, and last time I was there I got to meet the lovely designer herself — who was rocking this dress!!!
