Promising review: "So comfy and cute! Can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I love the built-in shorts and bra. Perfect spring/summer dress!" —Olivia Get it from Abercrombie & Fitch for $75 (available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall fits, and nine colors). Get it from Reformation for $218 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors). Promising review: "Love this little slip dress, ode to the '90s moment. For the cooler days I layered it with one of the lace undershirts, sheer tights and boots. Could be really cute in its own in the summer or with jeans. Id say it runs larger, but if your bust is large you might consider going up a size." —Free People reviewers Get it from Free People for $118 (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors). Promising review: "Wore this dress for an afternoon cocktail hour work event. The material is lightweight and great quality for the Vegas Heat, appropriate length while still being very cute! For the price the value is definitely there, I’m very impressed!." —Sara Coan Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–3XL and 24 colors). Promising review: "This dress was great! I loved the linen and the length was perfect for a spring day! My only complaint is that the fit across the chest was tight so I paired it with a cute tank underneath and left the buttons open." —Cathleen Get it from Boden for $220 (available in sizes 0–22, long fits, and three colors). Get it from Urban Outfitters for $59 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and six colors). Promising review: "I originally purchased this in white for a spur of the moment beach trip. Turns out I freaking love this thing! This is so lightweight, it's perfect for when it's a little breezy on the beach, but it's also perfect because it dries really quickly. I love the short sleeves because I feel a little more covered if we walk to a shack for lunch. You can leave it unbuttoned for a beachier look. I ended up leaving this on at the condo after the beach just to lounge around in." —Jessica Get it from Amazon for $27.35+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and 22 colors). Get it from For Love & Lemons for $389 (available in sizes XXS–XL). Get it from Anthropologie for $148 (available in sizes XXS–XL and in two colors). Promising reviews: "So glad I bought this precious dress!! Looks like a much more expensive brand! Nice thick material, vibrant color and a perfect fit! I wore this with my cowboy boots and got so many compliments! No stretch to the material but it didn’t wrinkle." —Lisa Lambert "Loved the color and fit - so many compliments! It’s short (I’m 5’5) but it’s very classy. The fabric weight is light and it has a slip. It does wrinkle easily but steams well. The sleeve/ shoulders have what feels like a stiff netting inside, so they stay up." —Kristen Ward Get it from Amazon for $26.63+ (available in sizes XS–L and seven colors). Get it from Nordstrom for $178 (available in sizes 0–14). Promising review: "I bought it this month! It feels amazing and fits perfectly." —Ty82 Get it from J.Crew for $128+ (originally $138; available in sizes XXS–3X, petite and tall fits, and three colors). Promising review: "I wore this at a friend’s wedding reception. I was looking for a dress that felt comfortable but could hide my lower body weight gain, and this did the trick. It’s a bit short, which makes your legs look longer with high heels on." —Maria Get it from Amazon for $29.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors). Get it from Revolve for $213 (originally $239; available in sizes XS–XL). Promising review: "Super soft and stretchy. Forgiving in the right places with the scrunch on the sides, and perfect to dress up or down. Would absolutely buy again!" —Autumn S. Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 14 colors). Promising review: "I'm small in the waist and have 'soccer legs,' so this was perfect for highlighting my waist, and still had plenty of room in the skirt for my muscles. Straps made for the perfect cinched top." —Janna L. Get it from Lulus for $62 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and eight colors). Promising review: "Perfect fit!! This dress is so incredibly cute!! The material is lightweight and made well. With the right shoes and accessories it would be perfect for a formal event or wedding." —Momof10 Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in sizes 14–26 and nine colors). Promising reviews: "I love this dress, it's so nice and comfortable. The color is beautiful, and you can wear it to a wedding or to a nice dinner. I liked the material it was perfect...not too thick and not too thin. It is not see-through. I loved the length, like I said not too long not too short, just right." —Bri Get it from Amazon for $29.98 (available in sizes L–4X and 10 colors). Get it from Banana Republic Factory for $60+ (originally $120; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall fits, and four colors).

Promising review: "This is such a cute dress !! I get constant compliments on how good it looks. It’s slightly stretchy and it does a good job at holding up my girls." —Lizdemar Payan Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes XS–5X and 14 colors). Get it from Madewell for $128 (available in sizes 00–16). Promising review: "No cleavage issues like I have had with many of the other summer mini dresses I've ordered. And the POCKETS are a major plus! On top of all of this, it is very comfortable." —Amazing Grace Get it from Amazon for $29.40 (available in sizes S–XL and 20 colors). Promising review: "What a cute bodycon mini dress this is! The dress is simple, yet so sexy. It will hug your body and fall to mid-thigh so you can show off your legs and thighs. I feel so feminine when I'm in this charming little mini dress." —Lenny Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 18 colors). Promising review: "I love halter dresses and this one is great. It has the tie neckline that I Iove both for the adjustability and the playful look. The material has a soft linen look and feel...I do wish it was lower cut in the back, but I definitely reccomend it." —Sara Get it from Target for $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and in green). Promising review: "This cover up is stylish, comfortable, and perfect for throwing on over a swimsuit. The open back design is my favorite feature, and I’ve received so many compliments on it! The material is very well made." —Rachel Get it from Amazon for $26.59 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 16 colors). Promising review: "This dress is even cuter in person! It's a very soft denim and white check dress. It is not tight, but it's fitted. I always wear petite small and this fits perfectly! The length is short!, roughly 3+ inches above the knee." —Michelle A. Get it from Gap for $63 (originally $79.95; available in sizes XXS–XXL, petite and tall fits, and in two colors). Promising review: "The fit created by the carefully shirred waist is incredible! I've never been so comfortable and so cute and so professional in a dress before. The pockets are large and don't hang weirdly when things are put in them. Fabric breathes and washes well. I can't wait to get this dress in as many colors as Torrid is willing to make!" —HOTDOG2 Get it from Torrid for $65.90 (available in sizes M–6X and four colors). Get it from Lane Bryant for $56.97 (originally $94.95; available in sizes 10–40 and petite fits). Promising reviews: "This dress is so cute! The material is nice, the little flowers are embossed velvety material like I had hoped. It fits like a glove and looks just like the picture. The length is pretty short, but not too short. Perfect dress to dress up or down." —Holly "This floral mini dress is super cute and definitely on the shorter side, just as you’d expect for a mini dress. The pattern is lovely, and it fits really well. It’s a good quality piece for how lightweight and thin it is, so it’s not bulky at all. Overall, it’s a great value for the money and has a really fun, flirty style. Perfect for a cute and stylish look!" —Tiffany Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors). Promising review: "I love this summer sundress which is effortlessly chic and comfortable for warm days. The soft, lightweight fabric feels breathable and drapes nicely without clinging, making it ideal for all-day wear. It’s easy to dress up with jewelry and heels or keep casual with a nice jacket and sandals. The sage green color is fresh and soothing, not too bright. It runs true to size with good stretch and minimal shrinkage after washing." —Cindy Reedy Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 17 colors). * Dresses That’ll Let Your Legs Breathe After A Long Winter Of Tights And Pants * Dresses You Can Dress Up For Weddings, But Still Get Use Out Of In Your Day-To-Day * Dresses That’ll Make You Feel Like You’re Living In Your Very Own Rom-Com * These 27 Dresses From Amazon Are Cute, Inexpensive, And Perfect For Warm Weather * If You Refuse To Wear Pants This Spring, Here Are 27 Beautiful Dresses And Skirts To Add To Your Wardrobe * Springtime Dresses That’ll Make You Want To Twirl In A Field Like “The Sound Of Music” * Affordable And Cute Dresses To Wear To The Next Wedding You Attend Plus, finds from Amazon, Anthropologie, Bloomchic, Boden, Lulus, Reformation, Revolve, Target, Torrid, and Walmart.
