'Tis the season to dress up!
Promising review: "I wanted a fun and over-the-top festive dress for our holiday party this year, and this is PERFECT. The material is thick yet stretchy. It flows/hangs nicely and does not cling to my legs as thinner materials would do. It fully covers an XL bust, and flares out at the waist. It goes all the way down to my knees and feels much more well-made than I expected for under $20. I give it two thumbs up and five stars. The perfect fun holiday dress!" —SFSH
Price: $13.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 15 patterns)
Promising review: "The perfect little black dress. The fabric is very soft, thick, and of excellent quality. It feels like satin and has a subtle shine. The skirt falls nicely which creates natural pleats. The dress is extremely comfortable. The zipper is in the back, it is totally invisible and your friends might ask you how you got this dress on. If you need to iron it, which I did prior to the party, iron it on low inside out." —Summer16
Price: $15.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and in 41 patterns)
Promising review: "I am a size 14, 5'7", 175lbs, 36D, and this XL dress fits perfectly. This dress is SOFT and very comfortable. It doesn't shift when bending low or reaching up. It stays incredibly modest while showing a very comfortable bit of neck. The dress is also very warm. I would say that it would fit anyone with larger arms and larger chests quite well because it has a lot of stretch!" —Anicena
Price: $29.98+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in seven colors)
Pssst, this dress seems to run a tad big — customers suggest ordering a size down! Also, try out a petticoat to give this dress some extra POOF!
Promising review: "I bought this for my company Christmas party. It was a runaway hit — so much so that people who didn't attend the party were asking about the dress because 'so many people said how pretty it was. I was called "Marilyn" since I wore this with red patent heels and classic red lipstick. The fabric had enough give to make it comfortable to wear the whole night without feeling constricted. The fabric itself is smooth, of a good weight, and irons to a crisp finish. BTW, I am a size 14/16 dress, D cup, and ordered XL. Perfect fit. I am 5'4" and the skirt hits several inches below the knee. I bought a petticoat to wear with it, and while you may not need it, it does add to the drama." —Christine Garcia

Promising review: "Needed a NYE dress that could accommodate my growing baby bump and gave this one a chance after reading how it had a good amount of "stretch" :D. I ordered it in my regular size, xs/s, and it fit perfectly — little bump and all! Love that I'll be able to wear this again after my pregnancy! Very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend it as an inexpensive, but still nice looking party dress. Also, there is a light liner sewn into this dress to keep it from being itchy." —Christina
Price: $16.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in 20 colors)
Promising review: "Wow! As a plus-sized gal, I never have too high of expectations when I order clothes online. This dress is gorgeous. The fabric is quality and the sequins help it hang heavy. The bodice is also great. Not see through at all! You could even wear a white bra! The lace is gorgeous and tightly woven, I have no doubt it will hold the sequins and not tear. It's very classy looking." —LDB22
Price: $39.99+ (available in sizes 14–26plus and in two colors
Promising review: "My favorite aspect of this dress is the material — how it hangs with a little weight but is nice and cool, and so far seems to resist wrinkling very well. The unique back is so fun. Very easy to wear this dress without a bra, it offers a bit of support. Fun fact: if you adjust the neck a bit to one side or the other, you can breastfeed in this dress." —Kim Miller
Price: $19.50+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 18 patterns).
Promising review: "Do yourself a favor and buy this dress!! I wore the purple floral dress to a wedding and got SO many compliments. It looks and feels so expensive, it’s conservative yet extremely feminine and flirty, and it fits your true size which is so rare. I’m 5’11 125lbs and the small fits like a glove." —Jen M.

Promising review: "Sexy dress for a party or date night out. The dress was so cute it turned a lot of heads, some people almost broke their necks when I wore it! Perfect sewing and material, somewhat stretchy and very comfortable. My favorite dress so far. (By the way, I got a medium, I weigh 138 pounds and 5'4" in height.)" —natasha

Promising review: "This dress is SO CUTE!!! I love the sleeve details and it looks really pretty in person. The dress feels soft and it's really comfortable. This dress is super cute to wear out with your girlfriends and it's really affordable. It fits true to size and it's really easy to steam iron as well." —Katy Mospanyuk

Promising review: "I am 5'6", 148lbs, and the large was a perfect fit. The material expelled class. There was a beautiful flowing finish at the bottom which gave a full and complete look. The length for me was just covering my knees giving me a modest and neat finish. I wore them to my New Year's church gathering and received a lot of compliments." —Ali

Promising review: "It is extremely comfortable. The style is simple yet easy to accessorize. I might even throw a pair of leggings on when I don't want the sexiness of the slit. Basically, I want to buy this dress in every color! I ordered a size medium, and I am 5'6", and 145lb." —Valerie Cintula

Promising review: "This was my 'in case of emergency' dress for my work gala. I have a hard time shopping in department stores as I have a bigger body type. But I went for it. BEST DECISION EVER. When it came in, I tried it on and was stunned. It had some stretch so it was super comfortable. I got a lot of compliments on it at my formal event. I'll be wearing it every chance I get!" —Rachel

Promising review: " I have been going through serious body changes and my confidence is at 0. I bought this dress for a family function, I put it on and got tearful. I actually looked pretty. The size was perfect, I didn't look sloppy, and for the first time in darn near 3 years, I had confidence. Family members remarked how nice I looked and it seemed like I was glowing. Miusol, you have a forever customer." —Alexandra

Promising review: "Love this dress!! I have worn this numerous times and plan to wear it again this summer to a friend's wedding! I paired it with nude wedges and an off-white lace cardigan. The length is modest but still fun and flirty. I was able to move around comfortably, bend over, etc without worries of showing off more than intended! I have worn it to church as well." —Victoria Lacey

Promising review: "I seriously love this dress. I wore it for my production of Thoroughly Modern Millie and I got SO many compliments. It doesn't feel cheap, the details are amazing, and it's comfortable. I loved it! I also wore it a couple months later for a New Year's party! I'm 5'10, 196 pounds, and I got an extra large!" —Claire Strong
