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: "Love it! I just wore it every day on a trip to Mexico. It packed well in my luggage. I was able to wear it on boats and in the wind without it blowing away. And I didn't get any sunburn on my face at all!!" —Jessie A. Dorne

Promising review: "This skirt was exactly what I hoped it would be! It’s a light, linen-like material that's great for summer. The elastic waistband fits snugly but is very comfortable and flexible. The drawstrings are real, so you can tighten them if necessary, which is great." —Alyssa Baxter

Promising review: "This bathing suit is so cute! It fits me perfectly and I’ve been getting compliments every time I wear it. I ordered a medium; I’m 5’6” and 145 lbs and I wear a 32C. It fits me like a glove. If you are small-chested I could see the straps being an issue, because they aren’t adjustable. I jumped off a cliff in this bikini and it stayed in place." —Courtney H.

Promising review: "I get compliments on these EVERY time I wear them. They look a lot like the brand Quay, which everyone asks me if they are. The fact that these get mistaken for a pair of $50 sunglasses should tell all." —Madison Holder

The buttons stop around your knee, so the bottom's free to flow dramatically in the breeze. It's no wonder this beauty has over 2,000 positive reviews!
Promising review: "I bought this dress on a whim and was a little skeptical about it, but I shouldn't have been. I've never received so many compliments on a dress before. I wore it on a trip to the Biltmore Estate with my husband and in-laws, and we honestly couldn't get through the day without someone stopping me every few minutes to ask where I got my dress or to tell me how gorgeous it was. It flowed beautifully on that windy day. I'm so obsessed with it, I even bought two more in different colors. I highly recommend it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $16.88+ (available in sizes XS-XXL and in 26 prints).
Promising review: "These tops are so cute! They're soft, flowy, and flattering. The material is nicer than I expected and looks nice enough to wear to work under cardigans or blazers, but it could also be a casual look, too. They're true to size. If you are between sizes and/or less busty, I would size down. The arm holes aren't as big as they look in the picture, so no worries that your bra is going to show!" —Suzi

Was that a truly terrible paraphrase of Bruce Springsteen?
Promising review: "These are the best shorts I've ever owned, and I absolutely love them. They fit like they were made for me. They're so comfortable, they look amazing, and they don't move around as much as other jean shorts do, so you don't have to adjust them as much." —Maria K.
Get them from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in sizes S-3X and in six washes).
I tried these babies for a photo shoot we did here at BuzzFeed and was pleasantly surprised by the chic structure, perfect length, and generous pockets for the price! You can totally dress them up or down and they're an instant outfit with a tucked-in tee and sandals. I'd recommend sizing up if you're between sizes since they don't have much stretch.

Promising review: "The label says polyester, but I'm convinced this suit is made of CONFIDENCE! Seriously. I put it on and suddenly understood so many things Beyoncé has been singing about. The material is very soft. Some reviewers have complained that the top is too loose, but I tied mine up to hold everything snugly, and I'm telling you — cartwheels couldn't make the gals jump out. I love this suit and am tempted to buy other colors. Don't even hesitate if you've got your eye on this one. You will not regret the purchase!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "SO happy with this romper! I swear I’ve worn this almost every day since I got it in the mail — no exaggeration! The fabric is super breathable and doesn’t retain odor, so I’ve been able to wear it as a pool cover-up, running errands, or around the house. It’s perfect loungewear but can also be dressed up. I’m in love with the colors and how they complement each other. Honestly, it's the best Amazon purchase I’ve made in a while!! So worth it." —Mary

Promising review: "The arm holes are a little tight, but overall, I LOVE this cover-up. It's sheer enough to let you show a little skin, but still feel appropriate. I've worn it on a beach with just my husband and I've worn it to a kid's swim party. This cover-up works anywhere. I bought a large and I'm 5'2" and a size 12-14." —Gemini77
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S-XL and in eight colors).
Promising review: "Y’all. This is the best shirt! It isn’t see-through. It isn’t too low-cut, and it's longer in the front and back than the sides. It holds up in the wash!!!! It isn’t that flowy, so if you don't want your shirt to touch you in the midsection, consider sizing up. All in all, I love this shirt!" —A.K.
