Promising review: "This dress is just sooooo beautiful. … I absolutely love it. It's a little sheer/see-through, but I don't even care. I’ll be getting a slip just for this. This exceeded my expectations." —Beebee

Promising review: "The material is super nice and thick! It's fun and sporty, definitely a great addition to my athletic wardrobe. I’m normally a 12–14, I wear a 36DD, and I got a large — fits perfect! It is a little on the short side!" —katherine_c

Price: $30 (available in sizes XXS–4X and six colors)

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and five colors)

Promising review: "Love the fit!! I have broad shoulders and narrow hips and it tapers so it fits my shape perfectly! The fabric is so soft and comfortable. The pockets are just an added bonus. Loved it so much I ordered another one in a different color!" —Sherry

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)

Promising review: "Dress is very cute and is a nice length for a maxi, stops at the bottom of my ankles. I'm 5'6.5 and ordered a size medium. The dress has three button holes in the back so that we can adjust the straps to fit best. I used the lowest strap placement since I'm busty. My dress size varies with dress style. The medium is slightly tight across my chest, and a large would have given a little more flex. I like how the medium fit the rest of my body, though. I'd say the dress is true to size to maybe a tad bit large when considering a flowy maxi." —JJ

Price: $35 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

Promising review: "Perfect fit, even with a larger bust (34DD). Sometimes, with these type of wrap dresses, the bust area is either too small (I'm spilling out) or too big (loose and baggy), but this fit me perfectly. I also love the pockets! It also has nice coverage under the arms, too." —Boymom985

Price: $38 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)

Promising review: "So cute and comfortable. I normally wear a 1X, and it fit as normal." —Rashida

Price: $40 (available in sizes XS–4X and four colors)

Promising review: "Cute, love the pockets, and it's a good length. I sized down, and glad I did because of the volume. No stretch, but nice linen-y fabric." —makeitadouble

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)

Promising review: "Fits true to size, such a cute color, and I absolutely love the cut! I’m a bit curvy, and it made me feel very self-confident and happy!" —Rachael

Price: $12 (available in sizes XXS–4X and 10 colors)

Promising review: "Fits my curves like a glove. I did end up sewing the slit a little more closed because I didn't like how high it went. I’m a curvy 8/10, and a medium is perfect. I bought every color." —Kenny

Price: $22 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)

Promising review: "Comfy, cute, not too tight for the girlies that want to go out and feel fashionable but still eat with freedom" —Abby O

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and six colors)

Promising review: "The material is medium weight and is well constructed. Plus it has pockets. It fit me well and is true to size. Impressed that it's not lightweight denim and should last quite some time." —brooklynne

Price: $35 (available in sizes S–XXL and in two colors)

Promising review: "This dress will get you ALL the compliments! It isn't see through with a nice weighted material and I had no problem tying the straps by myself. A bit of advice, I believe the dress runs small. I’m usually a medium in bottoms and small in tops (normally order mediums to accommodate my hips). When I tried this dress on in store, the only one that perfectly fit was an XS so I highly suggest you try it on before buying!" —TheCaramelYogi

Price: $38 (available in sizes XXS–4X and two colors)

Promising review: "Shipping was fast, dress fit like a glove, I’m usually between a small and medium, but since I did read the reviews and I do have some big lady's on top I thought I’d up a size which I’m glad I did, dress is super stretchy and so comfy! Definitely recommend purchasing!" —Nicole

Price: $28 (available in sizes XXS–4X and three colors)

Promising review: "Beautiful periwinkle color and true to size. Perfect when you want to be cool and comfortable yet polished for an outdoor event or anything else." —Vwe

Price: $30 (available in sizes XXL–4X and eight colors)

Promising review: "I love this dress!!!! It has a nice weight and it is not see through. The dress can be worn casually or add a nice heel to dress it up." —Marcie

Price: $40 (available in sizes XXS–4X and two colors)

Promising review: "I never review products, but I had to for this dress. I bought it in both colors. It's a bright '80s neon melon color...perfect for summer. I'm keeping both colors 'cause it's so cute. I live in Florida, and I'm always looking for casual dresses that are comfortable and stylish but are practical for running around in. I think it runs on the larger side...but both the small and medium fit me...just differently. I'm keeping the small." —LOVE LOVE LOVE

Price: $25 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)
