Promising review: "You will turn heads in this dress! I wore this to my dance studio's ballet and received so many compliments. People were still talking about it days later. It cups my curves and the color is so vibrant! It stands out in a great way. It's my new favorite dress!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I must say, I was very pleasantly surprised to find this is quite a nice dress for only $28! The beautiful gold stars all over it are raised and catch the light really nicely. It fit me great, possibly a touch on the bigger side, but I wouldn't size down. Since it's nicer than expected, it's a bit more formal than I thought it would be. It's a pretty good value, and I would recommend." —Sarah Allison

Promising review: "I love this; now I need one in purple. It feels soft and very comfortable, not heavy but not lightweight either and I love the look when I wear it. It is comfortable and roomy, flows well, is soft, and manages to keep me warm." —Linda G.

It's got adjustable straps in the back!
Promising review: "Honestly I don’t often leave reviews for things, but I am so satisfied with this purchase. It’s such a great price for a good lacy bodysuit and a great style. You can wear it in the bedroom but probably also out — I plan to wear it with a black skirt or jeans! The roses cover up the nipple area, but if you’re looking for a little more support, wear a black bra(lette) underneath for a good look as well." —Sara

Promising review: "I love this jacket and I have gotten so many compliments. It does not look cheap at all. It can be worn with an elegant dress or dressed down with jeans. It is super soft and warm! My only complaint is the sleeves are a little long on me, but I just rolled them under and you can't tell at all." —Peggy Vetter

Reviewers say it runs really large, so size down!
Promising review: "Wow, this blouse makes a statement! It is definitely not for the fashion faint of heart. It's a way more intense print in person. The fit is very loose and boxy so I could have sized down. I purchased both shirts in this style from the collection and if any more debut, I'll size down. Otherwise, I loved both shirts and will happily rock them both." —Rawrmags

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

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).
Promising review: "My go-to teacher dress to impress. I NEVER write Amazon reviews. Ever. But this dress is top tier. As someone who teaches high schoolers all day, I always get unsolicited feedback on my clothing. The overwhelming 'that dress is amazing' chorus is my favorite. Honestly better quality than several of my J. Crew midi dresses lately!" —Jordan

Rachel Antonoff is one of my favorite designers right now. Her pieces are quirky, unique, and unapologetically maximalist (same), featuring prints of everything from pasta to ducks to the female reproductive system to sandwiches. She also has a brother named Jack you may have heard of (to have one sibling design this masterpiece of a jumpsuit and the other cowrite "Getaway Car"...I owe so much of my joy to this family's talent...). This design is one of her classic pieces; I have it in purple from a few seasons back and I love it! I definitely wish I had sized down for a fit more like on the model, but I also love the fact that it runs roomy and comfy. You really can't beat jewel-toned velvet, IMHO, but make it versatile and cozy and a one-and-done outfit?!?! Rachel's an overachiever, and I can relate to that too.
Get it from Rachel Antonoff for $295+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in four colors and prints).
