Promising review: "I love this dress! I wore it to a wedding and got several compliments. It is super comfortable, soft, and fun to wear. I wore it straight out of the package, and it didn’t get wrinkled throughout the night. I was worried about the fit, but it was great. I will be buying another color." —Dana Shaun

Get it from Amazon for $22.67+ (available in sizes S–XXL and three colors).

Promising review: "Absolutely breathtaking dress, every time I wear it I get tons of compliments. It's very unusual; it's not a dress I would normally purchase due to the design under the midsection, but it is actually very stylish. There were only five reviews on this dress, but all great reviews when I purchased it… I’m so glad I did. I would buy it again and again, it’s beautiful." —Niaomi

Get it from Loft for $39 (originally $120; available in sizes 00–18, including petite fits).

Promising review: "I love it! I got this dress specifically to wear on my birthday, and it was so pretty in person. I ended up doing a photoshoot that day, and it photographed nicely!" —Helmi H.

Get it from ModCloth for $109 (available in sizes M–3X and two colors).

Promising review: "I wore this to one of my friends' 'formal' weddings in November in Charleston. I had so many compliments! It was very comfortable throughout the entire night. It's fitted, but not so tight that I couldn't dance in it. Absolutely loved it! Fits perfectly!" —Rachel S

Get it from Amazon for $41.98+ (available in sizes XS–3XL and six colors).

Promising review: "I couldn't be happier with this dress! I used it as my second-look dress at my wedding dinner and it was perfect. I love that the dress is properly lined; the material is soft and stretchy and it fits wonderfully. Now I want one in every color :)" —Aleksandra D.

Get it from Lulus for $68+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and three colors).

Promising review: "I bought this dress to wear for my brother’s wedding, and it did not disappoint! I wore it all day as I ran around organizing, and it was so comfortable. The pockets were amazing, and the material is so soft! I would definitely buy one of these dresses again!" —Callie

Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 23 patterns).

Promising review: "I really like this dress. It feels so good on my skin. The color is pretty. I didn't think it would be cute on because of the patterns, but it is." —TSHAEP1

Get it from Torrid for $50 (originally $89.90; available in sizes M–6X and two colors/patterns).

Promising review: "This dress did what it needed to do! It was so pretty, and it flows beautifully. I paired the XL plus in champagne and paired it with navy blue heels/accessories for a wedding in June. The only dislike I have is that the straps were extremely thin yet manageable. You will need to get it steamed (local cleaners had mine looking amazing)! Fabric, quality, transparency, and coverage were amazing!" —Giraffe Girl

Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes L–5XL and 32 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "I purchased this as a last-minute dress for a wedding. It was snug above the waist but not snug enough where I was uncomfortable or had no movement. It fit perfectly!! The material is not cheap; it’s a nice, soft material, and you can have confidence it won’t fall apart in the washer or anything! Love it. I’ll probably buy another one in a different pattern." —Liz Garcia

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 18 colors).

Promising review: "I absolutely love this dress! The fabric is light and airy, and the added snap keeps the top from gaping open. It has a slip included. I've gotten so many compliments on this dress!"   —Natalie

Get it from Bloomchic for $29.90 (available in sizes M–6X).

Promising review: "I am so very happy with this dress. I wore it to a friend's wedding and got so many compliments! It fits as expected per the size chart, but since the back is ruched elastic with a corset-type tie, you can adjust this to your liking. I had to cinch it pretty tight to keep it from sliding down my back (maybe some fabric tape would help). That said, I would NOT size down, as then it wouldn't fit in the waist. This dress offers great coverage in the back despite being a halter (I am wary of halter tops as they seem to have absurdly low backs, but not this one). I did wear this dress with a petticoat, but it can be worn without. It is well-made and a good medium-thick material, but still breathable for warmer weather." —Lauren R.

Get it from Amazon for  $36.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and 45 colors/patterns).

Promising review: "I was a little nervous about the size and the material, but I love this dress. It fits perfectly! The slit does go all the way up, but it isn’t just open; it didn’t open while I was walking around. I love the color, the design, it’s so soft,and the straps are adjustable. Definitely worth the money!" —Caliexandria

Get it from Amazon for $34.59+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 77 colors).

Promising review: "Love it! Sharp and feminine. Perfect dress for the office."  —Brittany1313

Get it from J.Crew for $228 (available in sizes XXS–4X, select petite and tall sizes, and in black).

Promising review: "I purchased this dress on a whim for a wedding I was attending. I love this dress, and I am already looking for another event to wear it to. I received so many compliments on the color, the high-low hemline, and the off-the-shoulder neckline. It is very comfortable, stretchy, and well-made, especially for the price. I attended an outside wedding in Florida when it was about 85 degrees and very high humidity. My biggest plus was it did not show sweat! A lot of ladies were very jealous. I was comfortable the entire night. I wore the dress for about 12 hours, with eight of those being outside. The shoulders did not slip, which sometimes I have problems with when it comes to off-the-shoulder tops and dresses." —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for  $46.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors).

Promising review: "BUY the dress !!!!! This was one of my best and favorite purchases ever. Wore this to my cousin's wedding and received compliments ALL night long. The shoes are also from Amazon, and so is the sheer. I need this dress in every color, haha. It was lightweight but of great quality. Honestly, worth a lot more!" —anitra

Get it from Amazon for $42.29 (available in sizes S–XXL and 20 colors and patterns).

Promising review: "Fits like a glove! I wore this dress to two different weddings and had so many compliments! Feels very high quality without a high-quality price tag." —J

Many pregnant reviewers love this dress thanks to the stretch and fit.

Promising reviews: "The color was vibrant and exactly what I was looking for! Length was perfect for my height. The zipper was easy to use, and the dress was very breathable. I wore this to a friend's wedding in Miami and got a ton of compliments." —Kindle Customer

"Wore this dress for my baby shower and LOVED it! I ordered my pre-bump size and was surprised the dress zipped without a problem! The dress itself was comfortable and wasn’t too warm." —Amanda Nelson

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors).

Promising review: "Ordered dress in petite. While length and shoulder straps were the correct length, had to return for a size bigger as it was very tight around the upper body. Would not work for anyone really large chested (borderline for a C/D cup). Not possible to wear with a regular bra (either need to order a deep plunge bra or have cups sewn in. Pros: beautiful, unique design, pretty pattern, and well-made item." —Mintzer L

Get it from Gap for $49.99 (originally $99.95; available in sizes XXS–XL).

Promising review: "I was worried about ordering this dress because some of the reviews stated that the sizing is weird. It's PERFECT! I wore it to my brother's wedding and got so many compliments. The straps being adjustable helped to make it a perfect fit. This is my new go-to dress for weddings and other events. For those asking about what bra to wear, I just wore the silicone petal covers, and they worked great with the dress." —Kelsey

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and eight colors).

Promising review: "Totally adorable dress, lovely thick material and the top part is lovely and fitted. I love, love, love it and plan to be wearing all summer long! :)" —Devon_R

"Love this dress. Material is thick, but it flows nicely. Well made and as a bonus, it has pockets! It is fitted, stretchy material. If you're on the fence, spoil yourself, it's simple and timeless piece!" —Free People reviewer

Get it from Free People for $98 (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors).

Promising review: "IT HAS POCKETS! The tie at the neck was a little odd to me, but once you’ve tied the bow, it makes sense. I like that it wasn’t just under my throat. I’m short (5’1") and didn’t order a petite size (idk if that was even an option), but I’m glad I didn’t because it is definitely on the shorter side of what would be appropriate for work. Overall, it was a crowd pleaser and feels great to dress up with heels, down with sneakers, or sandals. The material is on the heavier side." —Anakae
