1. A crinkle dress with a subtle floral pattern so darling you can totally get away with wearing it botanic-all year long.
Promising review: "This is a really nice dress. It fits well (just like the model in the picture) and is lightweight. It will be easy to use for different occasions. I bought the Deep Teal Strokes color and it is truly deep teal." —Vanessa A Kirchner
Price: $18.34+ (available in 10 colors and sizes 14–20, with pockets)
2. A glitzy tunic for any Aladdin fans out there who want an outfit that's equal parts shining, shimmering, and splendid.
3. A bright spaghetti strap dress so cute, you're gonna want to eat it right up. Throw a cardigan over it in the fall or toss a T-shirt on underneath, because it's far too darling to only wear in the summer sun!
Promising review: "I ordered this dress out of desperation. I just had my fourth kid and I absolutely never have time to shop lately. I'd been wanting a fresh spring dress and this came up when I searched. I’m pretty impressed with it. I like the material — it's very soft. I really love how the buttons aren’t real because then my huge boobs can’t pull them open like most button down shirts do. I’m definitely going to order more prints now that I see how well it fits. I love it!" —Bdv2642
Price: $21.99+ (available in 33 colors and sizes S–XXL)
4. A V-neck piece that'll put a ~wrap~ on your hunt for the perfect everyday dress.
Promising review: "I purchased this dress because I thought it looked so pretty on the model in the photos. The dress is just as beautiful in person. It's very flattering and lightweight. I was worried that the front would be a bit too short on me, but it was not. I'm super happy with this purchase and I would recommend it to others." —Tatjana
Price: $25.99+ (available in five colors and sizes XS–XXL)
5. A layered ruffle tunic for anyone who wants to be cozy, cute, and comfortable even when it's cold.
Promising review: "This is worth every penny! I had my eye on this dress for a while and finally decided to take a chance on it even though it's more money than I usually spend on myself. I wore it with leggings and ankle boots and a thin cami on a breezy 50 degree day of shopping, and I was perfectly comfortable whether outside walking or inside heated shops. The layers of knitted and woven material block the wind but the loose swing of the dress allows for air flow. The pockets are darling and functional, and the ruffled skirt is precious — without being childish. I seriously recommend trying this dress if it appeals to you." —Amazon Customer
Price: $29+ (available in six colors and sizes S–XXL, with pockets)
6. A short sleeve boho number that'll basically beg to be paired with a selection of your dad's sneakers. Show fashion sense what's up!

Promising review: "First I got the yellow-flowered print — it fits perfectly on the shoulders and it's easy to slip on. It feels as if I'm wearing air! Or have become a billowing cloud. The pattern is very pretty, combining yellow, black, and white — unusually remarkable. It's been remarked on favorably every time I wear it. My husband loves it, strangers come up to admire it and most importantly, I love the way it makes me feel and look. I live in a hot summer climate and this dress meets the challenge. I liked it so much I've also gotten the red (I usually look horrid in red, but this one works) and am awaiting the blue. I wouldn't usually go this wild on spending but the cost of each dress is so low I'm stocking up. Added note: it washes well." —Charlotte O. Lowe
Price: $20.99+ (available in 28 colors and sizes XS–3XL, with pockets)
7. A lace cocktail dress for anyone who wants to show off a bold look worth drinking to.
8. An oversized sweatshirt dress that proves wearing a dress doesn't have to mean dressing up.

Promising review: "This is really comfortable and adorable! It's really cute to wear around the house but when I wear it out, I like to wear leggings with it to stay warm because of the thin material. Overall I really do like this long sleeve shirt-dress." —Katy Mospanyuk
Price: $12.99+ (available in 10 colors and sizes S–XL)
9. A boho beaut that's gonna look perfectly cider-doughnut-chic in every farmers' market photo you take this fall.
Promising review: "I love this dress! I’m 5’3 and 163 pounds. I wear a 36D bra. I love the material. It's very soft. It's not thick, but not see-through thin. I ordered another one and I think I’m going to purchase a third. I am very pleased with my purchase!!! I rate it at five stars across the board!" —Joyce
Price: $25.99+ (available in 14 colors and sizes XS–XXL)
10. A ruched T-shirt bodycon for a simple everyday look that's also darn comfy.

11. A floral button up — it's gonna be your go-to dress whenever the occasion calls for something subtly sensational.
Promising review: "I bought this dress on a whim and I have never received so many compliments on a dress before. I wore it on a trip 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 obsessed with it, I even bought two more in different colors. I highly recommend it!!" —Amazon Customer
Price: $18.99+ (available in six colors and sizes XS–XXL)
12. A twirly backless dress with adjustable straps for literally everyone who wants to look fantastic while frolicking, dancing, or standing over a subway grate.
Promising review: "Y'ALL. I do not have enough good things to say about this dress. This is the second one I've bought in a different color and it does nothing but impress. It is knee length so there's no accidental flashing, it has adjustable straps that cross in the back for a great fit, and it HAS POCKETS. It can be dressed up or down, I wore it to a wedding as well as to an afternoon of winery hopping. It's THAT versatile!" —Alex fo Falex
Price: $20.99+ (available in 34 colors and sizes XS–XXL, with pockets)
13. A bold printed piece you can wear whenever you want to strut around showing off your brilliantly well dressed self.

Promising review: "I bought this dress to wear at my casual wedding. It looked and felt great! I had tried on sooo many dresses, wanting to look dressy, but not too dressy. None looked right or felt good on. I bought this dress simply because I had gotten my bridesmaids simple blue dresses and I thought their dresses would complement this one, but when I tried it on, I fell in love with it. I will definitely be wearing it again and again." —Amazon Customer
Price: $26.99 (available in two colors and sizes 16–26)
14. A sequin stunner that'll make you want to become a senator just so you have enough galas to show this off at.
Promising review: "The dress arrived on time. It was beautiful on and I felt like the belle of the ball. I wore it to a wedding. I chose to wear the dress off shoulder and because it was true to size I was able to do so. The material is heavy and high quality, definitely worth the price. I'm 5'2, petite, and I wore four inch heels, it's a long dress." —Amazon Customer
Price: $29.99+ (available in 14 styles and sizes 2–18)
15. A ruffled sleeve baby doll dress you're gonna love in the summer and completely ~fall~ for the minute the weather gets chilly and you add on a leather jacket.
16. A knee-length collar dress (that the Addams Family would approve of in black), which is clearly made for wearing on a Wednesday.
Double points for wearing it in pink.
Promising review: "This dress is perfect! It fits me perfectly, is made of better material than expected, and is slightly stretchy. The stitching doesn't look like it'll fall apart after one wash, and the zipper down the back is really secure, with a nice pearl-y button to close the collar. It's exactly as I wanted it!" —Jenna
Price: $21.99+ (available in seven colors and sizes XS–XL)
17. A cocoon dress sure to have you checking your cute self out every time you cross paths with a freshly washed window.
Promising review: "I originally bought the white and black and loved it so much when I got it that I also ordered the white and navy. This is one of the most comfortable dresses I own and very stylish." —Amazon Customer
Price: $58 (available in two colors and sizes S–3XP)
18. A flannel shirt dress so you can make all your lumberjack dreams come true after a ~log~ hard day behind a desk.
Promising review: "This dress fits every occasion! I love the fact you can either dress it up with a belt or dress it down and let it hang loose. The fabric is very thick and durable, it's definitely not cheaply made, so it's worth the price you're paying! It's true to size and it doesn't shrink in the wash. I am very satisfied with my purchase." —Hilary Lynn
Price: $19.88 (available in eight colors and sizes S–XXL, with pockets)

20. A round neck number that'll prove you don't have to compromise your gloriously goth style even during your day job.

Promising review: "I am thrilled with the way this dress fits. I have a big tummy and the dress glides smoothly. This is the first time I have felt pretty in a dress in a very long time. I am 5'4" and the dress hits me about mid-knee. The fabric feels luxurious and does not wrinkle. The subtle dashes of plum add interest and depth. I am looking forward to ordering more clothes from this manufacturer in the future. I LOVE this dress!" —tinycamper
Price: $25.99 (available in sizes 18–26)
21. An asymmetrical bodycon to make you look sleek, sophisticated, and TBH way too stunning.
This dress runs small, reviewers recommend ordering a size up for a form fit.
Promising review: "I was SO happy with this dress! I needed the perfect 'corporate appropriate' dress for my work Christmas party. It arrived two hours before my party and I was praying it was the one!! And it was!! It looked like it was meant to be. I definitely recommend this dress! It's very classy, well-made, with quality material." —Ian
Price: $29.99 (available in 17 colors and sizes S–XXL)
22. A Jersey knit swing dress with just enough ruffle to show off your softer side.

23. A casual pencil dress great to wear during those rare moments when you find time in your busy schedule to ~pencil in~ brunch with your besties.
Reviewers recommend going a size up in this dress.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this little dress. It hits the knee, with a beautiful boatneck. The bow can be tied in the front or the back. The top is tapered to the 'belt' in the middle, so it's not just a t-shirt...it accentuates your shape. It's really comfortable and perfect for summer/fall. And of course, it has POCKETS!!! I am buying more in other colors and with the other sleeves. This is a perfect 'throw on and go,' dress. You can't beat it for the price." —@juliannajanayoung
Price: $18.99+ (available in 23 colors and sizes 4–16, with pockets)
24. An off-shoulder mini that might be tiny, but it's gonna be mighty.

Promising review: "I purchased this dress for me and my girlfriends for birthday pictures. We all loved the dress. They are very fun, playful, flirty dresses. The dress is thin, but not too thin, which worked out great since my birthday is in August, it was super hot. The dresses are made of a relaxed material that is stretchy, so there's room to play with size. This dress is appropriate for women of various shapes and sizes." —Tina
Price: $21.68+ (available in five colors and sizes M–3X)
25. A kitten dress with a sweet little face and a big crisp collar. Keep an eye on this one, because your friends will wanna get their ~paws~ on this and whisk-er it away the minute they see it!

26. A stretchy slim fit dress made for first dates and family dinners when you wanna look great and also wanna fit an entire burrito in your stomach without having to unbutton your pants.
Promising review: "This is a really cute and comfortable dress. I have a bigger torso and narrow hips so it's a little snug up top, but plenty of room down below. It fits true to size, based on the chart. The length is perfect. It's a few inches above my knee, so it's short enough to be flirty, but not so short that I'm worried about putting on a show. It dresses up nicely with a scarf and boots. It would look great with tights or leggings as well. The material is T-shirt like, which is what I wanted. It's not see through, but not too thick. It has some stretch to it and I can move around without any discomfort. I'm tempted to buy it in other colors as well. Overall, I'm very pleased and look forward to wearing it for both casual and dressy occasions." —Jennifer Kathryn
Price: $19.99+ (available in 13 colors and sizes XS–XXL)
27. A skater dress with dainty '90s details Miss Honey (and Matilda) would love.

Promising review: "This is an amazing dress! The length is right below my knees. The faux buttons are great because you don't need to worry about a peep hole or anything! The material is also a heavy linen! I definitely recommend this dress!" —Tasia
Price: $23.99+ (available in eight colors and sizes S–XL, with pockets)
28. A simple slip dress you could accessorize in so many different ways you can get away with wearing it every darn day of the week. It's so good lookin' no one would even think to complain.

Promising review: "Adorable! Just love it! I am 5'3", 140 pounds, and the it fit perfectly. I wore it once and dropped a taco down the front. I washed on delicate and dried on low. Still fits perfectly. Very happy with this purchase. I love it." —Rose B.
Price: $9.99+ (available in 32 colors and sizes XS–5XL)
29. A hoodie dress to clearly say, "Live every day like it's Saturday."

30. A ruffled velvet dress that'll look so shiny and chic your friends will be green with envy.
Promising review: "This dress exceeded my expectations! The material is beautiful, it's springy/bouncy, the color is lush, and the fit is gorgeous. It's just what I wanted. The velvet hugs and slinks against the body, so somehow the dress comes off as sexy despite the baggy shape. The buttons are gold mirrors sewn with sturdy thread and the ruffle at the bottom is actually elastic! So there's no tug as I step. I'm going to wear it to the theatre this week and romping with my five year old this weekend. Perfect." —Amazon Customer
Price: $24.99+ (available in six colors and sizes S–XL)
31. A lovely cocktail swing dress made for your wedding day, or every day.
Promising review: "I wore this gorgeous dress for a semi-formal New Years Eve event in Chicago. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit or material. The best part was how it flowed. I brought in 2018 looking and feeling wonderful! This dress got many many compliments! I will be purchasing the black and navy next!" —Williams
Price: $37.99+ (available in six colors and sizes S–3X)
32. A dinosaur dress you're gonna look like dinomite in.
Promising review: "The fit of this dress is great. The material is very light and soft. The pattern is very clear. I got the dark green, and it's not overwhelming, but very cute once you notice the pattern. I tend to be small on top and large on bottom, and when I order this in other patterns, will be trying the medium as I like things slightly fitted in the waist. The inside of the fabric is crisp white, so if/when the skirt flips up at all on the dark pattern, it's very obvious. I don't see that as a problem necessarily, but something to be aware of. I was very impressed with this dress, especially for the price." —Rachel S.
Price: $18.99+ (available in 43 colors and sizes XS–5X)
33. A colorblock tunic that'll look so good in your closet, it'll make you forget you own anything else.
Promising review: "I received this dress and was so happy to have it. This dress is so comfortable and easy to wear. The pockets are an added bonus and really add to the dress. The colors are vibrant and the dress looks exactly like the pictures. The fabric is thick and the colors look cute. I am very happy with this dress and will be wearing it throughout the spring." —Andrea A.
Price: $21.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, with pockets)
34. A massive sweater dress so you can basically wear a blanket all day long when you wish you never had to leave your bed.
Promising review: "This is a dream. I am so impressed with the level of workmanship, the thickness of the material, and the fit of this sweatshirt dress. I bought this in both blue and red and they fit with just enough room to feel like a nice relaxed sweatshirt. The blue is a royal blue and the red is a wine. I am so excited to be super warm and cozy all the rest of the winter! I LOVE how comfortable and long it is. The bottom hits just below the knee. I am so glad I bought two so I can have one to wear while one is in the wash. I'm going to be living in these." —Erin Parker
Price: $4.20+ (available in 10 colors and sizes S–3XL)
35. A perfect A-line dress you're gonna want in every color but will not buy in every color (you have to draw the ~a-line~ somewhere).
Promising review: "I really needed some new dresses for work and I’m super happy with this one. It fits my perfectly. The detail on this dress is so cute. I love the fabric and the stripes. The sleeves have really cute little dangling balls on them and it just makes the dress different and fun. The sash can be tied on the back or side. I am super happy with my purchase. I feel so pretty in this dress!" —MelB
Price: $8.90 (available in four colors and sizes 4–10)
36. A breathable maxi with soft, stretchy material and pockets — basically if you could only wear one thing for the rest of your life, it should be this.
Promising review: "I love this dress!!! So much! It's a perfect fit. It is so comfortable and long (which I love). I'm going on a trip soon and I'm flying in this dress because it is so comfortable. It has pockets on it that I can put my passport and ID in. I'm going to get this in all the colors. I didn't expect it to fit so well but I'm so glad it does." —Kindle Customer

Price: $14.99+ (available in 14 colors and sizes S–XL)
38. A floral day dress so you can flaunt some flowers on a day out with your ~buds.~
Promising review: "I'm pleasantly surprised! Criss-cross necklines rarely work for me, but this is nice! The fabric is breathable and thin, but not too thin. It's also stretchy but still has a good silhouette and it keeps its shape. The construction is of good quality and you can adjust the neckline to fit your figure." —MarieFS

Promising review: "This dress fit perfectly. The green and blue is just beautiful — love the color combo. It's a thick T-shirt material. This definitely compliments your upper body while being flowy in the lower portion. My husband loved the dress on me. I was a little scared to order it thinking it would look like a bag, but it looks great." —Melanie_and_David
Price: $13.99+ (available in four colors and sizes XS–3X)
41. And finally, a boatneck tea dress so popular you should probably get some for all of your friends too.
