1. A soft and stretchy maxi dress (with POCKETS!!!) you can dress up or down for basically any occasion.
Promising review: "This dress is fantastic! I am quite a busty woman so I tried to read lots of reviews before selecting a size. I went with an XL, and it fits perfectly. The material is very soft. Though it felt heavy taking it out of the package, it wasn’t heavy at all despite its thickness, if that makes sense. And it has pockets! I ordered a different color because I was so pleased with this one." —Jonaessa

The colors are vibrant, I’m getting so many compliments, but above all, it is so comfortable during my recovery and return to work! I would recommend this dress to anyone! LOVE it!" —Amazon Customer

8. A stretchy A-line dress that'll make getting dressed on Monday mornings a total breeze.
Promising review: "So I never buy clothes online unless I've tried them on in real life, but I made an exception for this based on the crazy amount of positive feedback this had. OMG WORTH IT. It's so soft and drapey and I'm probably going to buy five more in different colors. I was worried about my upper arms fitting because they're big and have always been the bane of my existence in finding dresses with sleeves, but the sleeves on this were plenty stretchy. I'm 5'5", and the dress hit juuuuust below the knee, which, while I thought it'd be a bit longer, was still fine. My roommate is 5'9" and tried it on, and it hit above the knee but still wasn't too short. I'm chiming in on the chorus of reviewers to say: BUY IT OMG. For the price? WORTH IT." —Mary R
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XL–3X and 36 colors).
9. A belted dress, if your aesthetic is sophisticated yet casual.
Promising review: "I love this dress. Everything about it is perfect. Really good quality and nice fit. Now I think I'll need it in every color! It looks great without the belt, and it is super comfortable. You can dress it up or stay casual. Really, it's an awesome dress. Even my daughters think so!" —Kat
Get it from Uniqlo for $14.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors).
10. A striped sleeveless maxi dress to wear all the damn time, whether you're going to brunch or just running errands.

Promising review: "I am SO excited to wear this dress for all of the summer events I have coming up, work-related and personal. I work in a school, so finding something that I also want to wear to other events that is a balance of classy, trendy, and timelessness can be challenging, but this ticks all of those boxes. Very comfortable, beautiful color. The only way this dress could be better would be if it had pockets." —CF

Check out a BuzzFeeder's review of this dress!
Promising review: "This dress makes me feel like the prairie goddess I have always aspired to be! I sized down on the dress (mostly cuz they were out of my size), and I am glad I did! Fits beautifully with enough slouch to keep the dress breezy but without swallowing me up. As other reviewers mentioned, it shows a fair amount of the boob area, but I had enough fabric to safety it shut for a more modest look. Stoked to wear this all summer!" —tesla406

18. A billowy bohemian frock to wear while you run across a lavender field with your hair flying in the wind.

20. A sweet polka dot number to make you wonder, "How can something so comfortable look so good?! How?!"
Promising review: "This dress is so cute and comfortable! Love the pockets and the higher neckline (so no need to layer a cami). I am 5'2" and the dress hits about three inches below the knee, which is great. The elastic waist is comfortable and not too tight. Wonderful dress for the money!" —JH
Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and three colors).
21. A chambray shift dress you'll be sad to throw in the wash because it means you won't be able to wear it again until after laundry day.
Get it from Old Navy for $26 (available in sizes XS–XXL).
22. A simple T-shirt dress to solve your nothing-to-wear problem once and for all.
Promising review: "This is a great dress! It is long enough that you wouldn't need to wear leggings with it if you didn't want to. The fabric is thick enough, so not too see-through, which is great! I am 5'7" and 150 lbs. and the medium fit me perfectly! If it is any indication of how well I liked it, I bought another one in a different color after receiving this one! It washed up perfectly, too! Looks like a new go-to dress with flip-flops, etc. One more note — the neckline and sleeves are nice, too. The neck fits a little closer so it isn't too wide, nice dress!" —TLSmile
Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in sizes S–XL and 12 colors).
23. A strapless ruffle dress as a cute swimsuit cover-up you can also wear on the reg.

Promising review: "This dress is amazing! So comfortable and perfect for many occasions. I’m pretty short (5’1") and it does drag but with a couple of casual knots, or if you want to get it hemmed, it’s so worth it. Fits loose like it shows on the model. Best purchase ever. Obsessed." —kaybreanne

Promising review: "Bought this dress for wearing around the house and neighborhood during the hot months. It's perfect for that — super simple, comfy, and seems like it will be easy to wash. I wouldn't wear it outside of super casual situations though. The tag was a bit annoying so I cut it out, and it seems to be totally reversible." —RITA

33. A tie-front cutout dress covered in cotton candy stripes that should definitely be worn to a carnival.
Promising review: "I saw this in store while I was looking for a birthday outfit and fell in love! Wore it to brunch in New Orleans, and it was perfect! The fabric is nice and thick, I did not have to wear a bra. I’m normally a size 4 but was able to go down to a 2 because the front tie is adjustable. It fit perfectly and was not too revealing even with a 34D chest." —Ashleigh

Promising review: "I have received so many compliments wearing this dress. I am a teacher, so I like clothes that are comfortable and easy to match up. This dress fits so well. It doesn't hug you and the length is as shown in the picture. I have washed it and hung up to dry, so I'm not sure what the dryer would do to it. I plan to purchase another in the spring." —Cassie Hudson
