Promising review: "This is one of my favorite dresses! The open cut design on the neckline and at the bottom is very sexy! I’m 5’2”, 120 lbs, and the small size fits great on me! It is very comfy with stretchy fabric. The single color makes it look more elegant and wearable." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "This was the dress I wore to my casual backyard wedding in August. It was perfect! The day was sunny and hot, but I was comfortable since the material is light and breezy. Since you are looking at this dress, you should get it; you won't be sorry!" —MeliKad

And not like first date sorta thing. You gotta wait until at least the third date to see this one.

Promising review: "This dress compliments curves — I'm busty and carry weight in my middle, smaller hips. This dress is very flattering on and the fabric is very substantial. The floral fabric sleeves stand out as shown and add drama, and the floral section of the dress does not cling. Very classy, feminine, elegant. Perfect for a black tie event." —Nashgirl

Get it from Tobi for $49 (sizes XS-L / three colors).
25. A black fringe spectacular worthy of a primetime TV broadcast — one day Vanna White will retire and you *will* be totally qualified to take her place.

28. A watercolor-esque maxi with billowing sleeves that catch the perfect amount of breeze as you're strutting down the runway...or the less-glamorous leg between the subway to your office.
Get it from Asos for $87 (sizes 12-24).
29. A show-stealing sequined frock for all the Gatsby-level soirées on your social cal — so little time, so many people to impress!

Promising review: "This dress is FANTASTIC and looks so much more expensive than it really is! I bought it for my "save the date" pictures and it shines so much in good lighting and fit like a dream. I'm 5'0 and about 180 lbs and bought the XL to have some breathing room and it was a perfect fit! A large probably would've been more 'bodycon' style but I wanted room to stretch. If you're second guessing it, JUST BUY IT; you won't regret it!!" —acantu52

32. A studded mesh bandage looker with attitude to spare — seriously, it really thinks it's hot shit, but can you even argue with that?
Get it from Asos for $108 (sizes 12-24).
