• Cons: Some shoppers say the sizing/fit is inaccurate
• Sizes: XS - XXL
• Colors: 13

“This dress looks and feels much higher quality than the price indicates. The fabric is silky smooth and drapes over my body in all right places. I particularly liked that the back had some stretch, which offered a little more wiggle room than your average slip dress without taking away from the overall aesthetic. The straps were adjustable to help with the fit, too. I ordered a medium, which was very true to size for me — always a win when it comes to Amazon, since the sizing can be so all over the place. The only downside I could find with this dress: The center cutout does show some side boob, but on the upside, the tie hides most of it, so it still felt appropriate enough for an intimate daytime wedding in NYC.” — Brigitt Earley, Teen Vogue Contributor

• Pros: The colors show up exactly how they are described
• Cons: Some shoppers say the zipper is faulty and gets stuck frequently
• Sizes: L - 5X
• Colors: 31

“I bought this dress at the last minute for a bachelorette party, and it fit me so well! I was worried because of the size in general as a larger person and the cowl being too low, but it ended up fitting perfectly, and the cowl neck looked nice.” — Emily Agjmurati, senior commerce producer at GQ

• Pros: The fabric is very stretchy, but still hugs to your curves
• Cons: The dress runs on the longer side, so those on the shorter side will need to wear some platform sandals or heels
• Sizes: XS - XXL
• Colors: 13

“It feels soft and fits snug to my body, which I love because it helps accentuate my curves,” says Shauna Beni-Haynes, commerce editor at Teen Vogue. “It's true-to-size and has lots of stretch, making it easy to move around. The dress is constructed from rayon and spandex, while the OG SKIMS style is made with a modal and spandex blend. The straps are not adjustable, but they fit me perfectly and didn't slide down.”

• Pros: The fabric is lightweight and breathable
• Cons: Some shoppers note that the dress is not flattering for bigger busts
• Sizes: XS - XL
• Colors: 21

“I’ve worn this satin dress to a fall and spring wedding in the past year. I like that it’s loose (not at all body con), so it’s easy to move and dance around in while holding a nice, flattering shape. The brown color goes nicely with my medium skin tone (plus some additional self-tanner), the satin really shines, and the open back is a nice touch.”— Jenifer Calle, senior commerce editor at Glamour

• Pros: Designed to flatter all body types and has a soft fabric, Zipper closure
• Cons: Some shoppers note the ruching on the bodice looked off on smaller torsos
• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 30+

This white dress offers everything you could want in a vacay 'fit: adorable off-the-shoulder puff-sleeves, a ruched bodice, and an interior lining underneath the skirt. The charming style also offers a flattering silhouette thanks to the cinched waist detail, and reviewers love how comfortable and easy it is to move around while wearing it.

Review: “I was really impressed by this dress. It's true to size, and the fabric feels very high quality. The cut is flattering, and I love how the sleeves make me feel fashionable while also hiding my “problem areas,” wrote Amazon reviewer Emily P.

• Pros: Breathable and soft fabric, Zipper closure
• Cons: Some users note that the sizes run a little small
• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 22

Don't sleep on this sweetheart neckline printed dress. It's cute, stylish, perfect for your IG photos, and would look great with sneakers. Basically, everything we want in a dress.

Review: “The fabric is light, not much give except around the rib, but it’s still super comfortable and light. It’s super complementary for your shape at a great price. You probably won’t want to put this in the dryer, though (due to the low quality/thin fabric)” wrote one shopper.

• Sizes: S - XL
• Colors: 8
• Pros: Material feels soft against the skin, Split thigh design
• Cons: The fabric has no stretch

If you’re looking for an easy and comfy dress to wear, this might be your best bet. Just look at how cute the puff shoulder sleeve design is, and we love the all-over tiny daisy floral print.

Review: “I love this dress! The fabric is super lightweight, which is great for Miami weather. The only thing is to make sure you use the size chart and measurements because the top of the dress has very little stretch. But I love the fit! I'm 5'6" and 195 for reference! And 36DD."

• Sizes: XS - XL
• Colors: 35
• Pros: Front wrap closure, Ruched bodycon mini dress
• Cons: Users note that the dress can be more see-through than expected

We're all more than ready to go and about and this ruched, bodycon dress is the perfect option for a girls' night out. This paired with some stunning gold hoop earrings = chef's kiss.

Review: “This dress is just too good. It's not see-through at all and is super stretchy. It definitely runs pretty true to size, but you could even size down due to the amount of stretch. I ordered my usual size (I am 5'9, 180, 38D), and I could have definitely sized down and still been very comfortable."

• Sizes: S - XL
• Colors: 38
• Pros: Adjustable wrap closure, Several colors and prints available
• Cons: Scratchy material

What we love about this wrap dress (besides its super comfortable fabric) is its versatility. It looks fabulous on all body types and pairs beautifully with all those necklaces you've been dreaming of layering. If you aren't sold on floral print, don't worry because it comes in tons of other prints, too!

Review: “This dress is so great. It’s a real wrap dress, which I feel will make it versatile to fit many people. It is light and comfortable but not see-through. I love the color, pattern, and length. I’m 5’ 6.5” and 125 lbs, and I got a small. It fits perfectly. I definitely would recommend it. The only downside was it took over a week to ship,” wrote one shopper.

• Sizes: XS - XL
• Colors: 43
• Pros: Made from a soft cotton blend, Pull-on closure
• Cons: Some users note that there is no stretch

If you're looking to add a pop of color to your rotation, opt for this uber-comfortable shift dress. Its oversized silhouette, ruched detailing, and puffy sleeves will make it your new favorite.

Review: “This dress is truly the best teacher dress that I have purchased. It's flowy, comfortable, and lightweight. Even though I own multiple of these dresses, they are all in different sizes (one a large and another an extra large). This most recent color (sage) that I purchased was an XL but fit like a 2-3XL. It seems that the fit runs either smaller or bigger with each color. For many, this can be defeating, but I promise that if you try your usual size and it doesn't fit, it's worth giving another size a try."

• Sizes: XS - XL
• Colors: 42
• Pros: Super lightweight raw fabric, Over 10+ colors available
• Cons: Shoppers note that the fabric wrinkles easily

Loose and flowy, this classic number pairs well with minimal accessories – think a dainty gold chain and sneakers. If you're not a fan of neutral colors but love the silhouette, no need to fret. It comes in over 17 different color options. Regardless of which (or how many) you choose, you'll certainly find yourself loving this snag.

Review: “I love this dress. It's unexpectedly well-made. The outside is cotton and the skirt is lined with polyester. It does not stretch, but there is a hidden zipper under one arm if needed. I'm 5'11" & 130 lbs. I'm mostly legs, so it hits me around mid-thigh."

• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 32
• Pros: Balloon sleeves, Stretchy fabric
• Cons: Sizes run small

There are so many reasons why midi-dresses are a go-to, especially during the warmer months. They're flowy, easy to throw on in a pinch, and comfortable for all-day wear. Made out of cotton and polyester, this one feels like an extension of your pajamas, which is why we're obsessed with it. Did we mention that it also has pockets?

Review: “This dress is made of great quality and fit well. I am 5'7" and 250lbs, I wear a size 20 jeans. I ordered XXL; it fit perfectly! It's a little tight in the chest area, but I have D's, so I'm sure that's why. The sleeves are a great length, the pockets are great, and the fit is flattering. It flows well and doesn't cling in any way," wrote one shopper.

• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 31
• Pros: Made of high-quality material, Has two side pockets
• Cons: Shoppers note that the color is not accurate to the pictures

There are so many reasons why midi-dresses are a go-to, especially during the cooler months. They're flowy, easy to throw on in a pinch, and comfortable for all-day wear. Made out of cotton and polyester, this one feels like an extension of your pajamas, which is why we're obsessed with it. Did I mention that it also has pockets?

Review: “Love this dress. It’s soft and comfy. And even with spaghetti straps, the bodice is still modest. I did go with the medium while I am between small and medium on midi dresses.”

• Sizes: S - XL
• Colors: 30
• Pros: Large amount of colors, Lightweight fabric
• Cons: The fabric has no stretch

After seeing this midi dress on @tinx on TikTok, the internet went crazy for it. Pair it with Gucci jelly sandal dupes and a red lip for date night or with white sneakers for brunch with your best friends. Plus, since you can style it on and off the shoulder, you'll technically snag two dresses for the price of one. Warning: you'll probably want to purchase this best-seller asap while it's still in stock!

Review: “This is a beautiful dress! It's lined, so it isn't sheer, but it makes it feel a little warmer. I'd say this dress is ideal for warm weather. It does come stiff and wrinkly, but once you wash it with fabric softener and fluff it out by tumble drying it, it will feel like a dream.”

• Sizes: S - XL
• Colors: 33
• Pros: Adjustable self-tie bowknot, Square neck design
• Cons: Shoppers note the fabric isn't stretchy

With several beautiful colors to choose from, this tiered ruffle dress is a must-have for your wardrobe. The shoulder features a romantic ruffle detailing, and the sleeves can also be worn off the shoulder. The material is soft, lightweight, and slightly stretchy.

Review: “My daughter wore this dress to homecoming and absolutely loved it! The smocking top makes it great for any chest size. The skirt on it is super fun and flattering. Loved that there was a tie in the back to hold the shoulders up (she did not want to wear it off the shoulders).”

• Sizes: S - XL
• Colors: 33
• Pros: Comfortable fit, Slim silhouette
• Cons: Shoppers note the fabric feels cheap

Everyone needs a crossover halter neck dress in their wardrobe. And this pick comes in over 21+ colorways and patterns. It’s designed to hug the body and accentuate the curves. Pair it with strappy sandals and a jean jacket for the ultimate laid-back 'fit.

Review: “I put on this dress, and wow, I am in love. So pretty and flattering. I only want to mention that if you put it in a suitcase to wear somewhere on vacation, bring an iron. It gets so wrinkled and will need to be ironed out."

• Sizes: XXS - XXL, 2X-5X
• Colors: 11
• Pros: Hugs your curves, Side slit gives extra movement
• Cons: Some shoppers note that the arm holes are too big

How adorable is this high neck a-line maxi sweater dress? It's available in a variety of neutral hues, ranging from beige to light pink, and has an ultra-flattering fit that'll hug you in all the right places. Plus, it can be layered up or worn alone during the confusing transitional season weather. A win all around if you ask us.

Review: “This dress is so flattering. The material has a nice weight to it, not too heavy but far from flimsy. The A-line silhouette is feminine; the side slit is sexy. No need to iron, so it will travel well. Order your regular side for a classic fit, size down for a more fitted, sexy fit.”

• Sizes: XS - XL
• Colors: 17
• Pros: Soft and comfortable fabric, Several colors available
• Cons: Limited size range

This short sweetheart dress gives us all the romantic feels. The material feels soft and comfortable, and we love the short puff sleeves and tie closure at the bust.

Review: “This dress fit perfectly. I accidentally got a stain on this dress after the first use. I washed it in the delicate wash, and the stain came right out. I highly recommend it!”

• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 5
• Pros: Fabric feels lightweight and has a slight stretch
• Cons: Hand wash only

This knitted sleeveless dress has a vibrant, eye-catching design that makes it super easy to accessorize with bags and shoes. While it’s designed to be a coverup, it can also be style as a regular everyday dress. It also features a small slit at the leg that allows you to move around more freely.

Review: “For my summer rotation this year, I wanted to make sure that I had clothes that were versatile and not just for one purpose. Although this dress is advertised as a cover up, I honestly like it more as a regular dress. I got so many compliments when I wore this out to a beachside bar with sandals, but could also see myself wearing for a night out with block heels and a jean jacket. Will definitely be purchasing other colors! I'm 5', 105lbs and ordered a small,” wrote Amazon reviewer Julie Reis .

• Sizes: XS - XL
• Colors: 25+
• Pros: Fabric feels lightweight and has a slight stretch
• Cons: Hand wash only

There’s so much to love about this dress. The all-over pleated A-line design, the various floral prints, and the adjustable belt all give it the extra oomph that it needs. Tie the belt at the waist to accentuate your curves, or wear it without the belt and let it flow in the wind. However you choose to wear it, we guarantee it’ll look beautiful.

Review: “I got this in a small coral and blue. They both fit well and hid my tummy, too, which is my biggest insecurity. The dress is loose and comfy enough to move in. The detached belt is a nice touch to make the waist look smaller. I don’t think I need to iron it at all before wearing it. I loved the dresses so much that I bought a third one in pink. Highly recommended,” wrote Amazon reviewer, Khss.

• Sizes: S - XL
• Colors: Blue/White
• Pros: Features a slim-fit design and an adjustable tie-string at the waist
• Cons: Only available in one color

This dress is comfy, sexy, and just what you need to attend a brunch date. Pair it with a bright pink purse and heels for an extra pop of color.

Review: “This was a pretty cute dress and I liked it. I like the fabric because it's soft, comfortable, and stretchy. It was easy to put on, and you could adjust the straps to make it fit better. I really loved how it went up on the leg. It's nice because you can adjust it and have it not go up at all or as much as you want it. The tie string created a ruched design in the middle, which hid a little bit of my problem areas. Because of that, I thought it was very flattering. The colors and design look just like the picture. I'm pretty happy with it as an easy dress just to put on and wear,” wrote Amazon reviewer B. McCarthy.

• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 36+
• Pros: Tiered ruffle skirt, Short sleeves
• Cons: Some shoppers note there is not enough fabric to cover the chest area for larger bust sizes

This strapless dress is a best-seller on Amazon, and we can see why. Its design features include a stunning oversized floral-print applique, a ruched top, and an A-line skirt. Its versatile silhouette also makes it great for wearing as a beach coverup or as a casual everyday sundress.

Review: "I purchased this for an event held outside on a hot day. It was perfect. The weight of the fabric is heavy enough not to be transparent but light enough not to be hot. It held up nicely through a 4-hour car drive and showed no wrinkles. The elastic was heavy enough to keep the top up without constant readjustment on my part, but it wasn't so tight as to be uncomfortable. For reference, I am 5'6", 127lbs, 38-inch bust. I have both medium and small size. The small size fits better," wrote Amazon reviewer Dkk.

• Sizes: S - XXL
• Colors: 36+
• Pros: Tiered ruffle skirt, Short sleeves
• Cons: Some shoppers note there is not enough fabric to cover the chest area for larger bust sizes

Looking for a cute dress with some moderate coverage? This one is your best bet. Pair it with your favorite heels, tights, and oversized denim jacket for cooler nights.

Review: “I love this beautiful dress. It's the perfect length and fit. It seems to be made very well. I’ve washed it a couple of times, and it came out beautiful. I tumbled it in the dryer on delicate for a few minutes, then hung up to continue drying. There are no wrinkles. The fabric is flowing and feminine-looking. I’m 5’3” 120, and the small fit perfectly. It was midi length on me. I will buy it again in a different color,” wrote Amazon reviewer Coffee Snob.
