Here’s your new favorite outfit this spring. 🌼 Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women’s. Promising reviews: "Super cute! Great value for the money! Got this dress to attend a wedding, and it’s very comfortable! I would say it’s pretty true to size, and it has some stretch. It’s hard to find cute dresses as a plus-size girl, and this is soooooooo cute! Love the slit on the leg too!" —Keri Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes 12–24 plus and six colors). Note: Some reviewers suggest sizing down. Promising review: "I bought this for Busch Gardens, and when I took it out of the bag, I was disappointed with how heavy the material felt. I shoved it back in the bag and tried to find another outfit. I was unable to find one on time, so I pulled this back out and tried it on. OMGGGG, AMAZING!!! This was literal perfection. You will not be disappointed. GET IT!! I will say it runs a hair too large, so if you're in between sizes, size down." —Lil Nik Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 33 colors/prints). Get it from Nooworks for $152 (available in sizes XS–5X and five other prints for anyone not into reptiles — not available in all sizes). Promising review: "I love this dress! I usually hate neck bows, but because it's off to the side, it looks really cute. It's shorter in the front than the back. I'll need to wear tights because it's short on me." —NYCTeacher3 Get it from Anthropologie for $198 (available in sizes XXS–XL and petite sizes). Promising reviews: "Great fit and feel! I am obsessed with this dress! It is so cute and comfortable. It is not tight at all, and the fabric has give, so I was comfortable all night long dancing and moving around!" —Christine I. "This dress definitely gives spring wedding guest. I'm used to bodycon dresses, but this is not that, so pay attention to the shape if you're looking for something a bit more fitted. The shape reminded me of a bridesmaid's dress. A bit more fitted at the top and opens up more at the bottom, but not like a flare. Breathable materials and colors are gorgeous! It's what drew me to the dress in the first place :)" —Zandra W. Get it from Lulus for $49 (available in sizes XXS–XL and five colors/patterns). Promising review: "Love the color, it's perfect for those spring days where it's not too hot or too cold, the perfect dress where the top part of your body is covered and then the bottom half of your legs are out." —anonymous Get it from Old Navy for $20.49+ (originally $44.99; available in sizes XS–4X, including select petite and tall fits, and three colors). Promising review: "I absolutely LOVE this dress! I really wanted the red one, but I wore it to my rehearsal dinner, so I decided to go with something more tame. I got so many compliments; GET IT!!" —Katie888 Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 14 colors). Promising review: "I received so many compliments on this dress! Super cute and flown. The material is nice and the dress is comfortable. You could easily pair it with a belt, flats, heels, jacket, so much can go with it or you can just wear it by itself!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 20 prints/colors). Promising review: "This dress is PERFECT! I got compliments on the dress all night. I already knew it would be snug, but with the length and fishtail detail, it was very classy for a wedding. The material and zipper are sturdy and thick. I always buy dresses from this seller, and they never disappoint!" —Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $33+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 25 colors). Promising review: "This dress is absolutely gorgeous! The linen is good quality, and the embroidery is beautiful and detailed. I ordered the green, and it's much more of a vivid green in person rather than on the screen. It is a soft linen, and I barely used an upright vapor iron, and it took the wrinkles out. There is no need for a slip. I really can't express how beautiful this dress is!! I think I just might order the pink one too!" —PGW Get it from Amazon for $35.99+ (available in sizes M–XXL and five colors). Promising review: "I will be buying this dress again in different colors! This dress was so pretty and good quality too. Have worn it several times and received tons of compliments! You can dress up with heels or dress down with sneakers. Such a great summer/springtime dress!" —Danielle Sharp Furlow Get it from Amazon for $25.70+ (available in sizes S–XL and 12 colors). Promising reviews: "Just get it! Great quality, lightweight dress that covers you without being too thick. The material is perfect for spring and summer weather! Sizing was perfect. I’m 5’7 and 185 pounds. I looked great!" —Shardae "If you’re thinking about buying this one, just DO IT! It was so cute for my girls' night. The fit was great and all I had to do was throw on my jewelry and a cute heel! Love it so much I’ll be ordering it in the blue! 😍 I got a size L, but could’ve sized down to an M. I’m a size 10/12 in jeans and a 38D for reference." —Tee Get it from Amazon for $33.29+ (available in sizes XXS–3XL and 18 colors). Promising review: “Wore this dress to my baby shower. I would say it’s stretchy, and the pockets are def great to stick your phone in! It’s also very comfy, and you can move around in it freely. Not too long, I’m 5’4", and this dress was a perfect length and was not too long. Would buy again!” —Kotlynnn Get it from Amazon for $31.34+ (available in sizes 14–26 plus and 17 colors/patterns). Promising review: "I’d been looking for a Skims alternative — I have the Skims dress, love it, and wanted it another color. Ordered a size large which is my normal size and it fit perfectly! I’m so very happy with my purchase! Literally half the price of Skims and it's identical! If you’ve tried the Skims dress, go ahead and order, you won’t be disappointed!" —Savvychique Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors). Promising reviews: "Perfect spring/summer dress. Adjustable straps and ruching in the back to allow some stretch. Very lightweight material. Received several compliments today." —Lday "Love! I bought this for a special occasion, and it looks amazing on! I have gotten so many compliments on it. The quality of the fabric is great, and it fits so perfectly." —becky Get it from Amazon for $16.27+ (available in sizes S–XXL and in 10 colors). Promising review: "The fit for this dress was perfect and fit the vibe for a Waikiki wedding. I am usually a 16 in a dress and I am wearing the XL. I am 5’6 and the length was true maxi. On someone taller, it may hit at the ankle. I am an A-cup, and some 'chicken cutlet' inserts perfected the halter top. If you are bigger than a true C-cup, you might want to size up to prevent gaping where the halter crosses over because it’s sewn at the 'x.' I received compliments all night, and it was comfortable while tearing up the dance floor!" —Kim Get it from Amazon for $54.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 18 colors/patterns). Promising review: "Fit perfectly! I always get so many compliments on this dress. I’ll be wearing this dress until the bitter end. 🤣" —Kelsey Get it from Amazon for $26.97+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 19 colors). Promising review: "It is a beautiful dress that looks even better in person. Loved the flow and fit. Wore it with a chunky necklace and earrings as pictured, and I am so glad I did." —BBarkie Get it from Anthropologie for $348 (available in sizes 0–16 and 12 colors — not all sizes available in all colors) Promising review: "I bought this for my birthday party this month (July). The dress came on time, fit me perfectly in every area, and the material was fantastic for the price. I found no downsides to this dress other than the mesh is hotter than it looks. Having been born in the summer, I'm used to it, but it's definitely toasty! I thought it was a beautiful addition to my closet. Dark but not tacky is my fashion goal LOL. I found it to be a bit itchy, but I have the most sensitive skin of all time. Overall, I'd buy this dress again, I loved it and so did everyone else!" —Kelly Get it from Amazon for $36.98+ (available in sizes 2–24 and two colors). Promising review: "If I could give this dress 6 stars, I would! I wore this dress to a sneaker ball and got compliments all evening. The lace-up in the back allows you to adjust to your comfort. It has a split in the front that’s not too obvious but has an extra effect when you want to show it off! It was easy to press or steam too. I just flipped it inside out to prevent burning the material... This dress looks and feels expensive, but it’s not! It was the perfect gown for the occasion." —katerina taylor Get it from Amazon for $64.99 (available in sizes 0–26 Plus and 39 colors) Promising review: "One of the cutest dresses I have ever purchased! I have thick arms, and the sleeves didn't cut off my circulation. It isn’t see-through, which is nice, and I got a lot of compliments on it." —Lauren Get it from Amazon for $32.29+ (available in sizes XS–XL and seven colors). Promising review: "Bought this dress in lemongrass a WHILE ago. I was debating forever because of the price tag. It's actually SOOOOO cute and equally comfortable. No need for a bra, breathable fabric for hot summer days, and it hangs with relaxed yet fun vibes. Please make it in more colors!! want in turquoise and salsa colors." —Vagablonde7 Get it from Free People for $98 (available in sizes XS–XL and four colors). Psst, as one reviewer points out, it's great styled with or without a belt. Promising review: "I received so many compliments on this shirtdress. I wore it for my backyard rodeo party. It was so comfy, and the quality was nice. The color was light denim, and the length and overall fit were perfect." —Tanika Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 22 colors). Promising review: "Buy. The. Dress. 😍 I bought this for a wedding...and it was AMAZING. It had shoulder pads, which I removed, but it fit beautifully, and I received compliments on it all night! Beautiful and comfortable, it is everything you could want in a dress!! Just buy it!!" —Mjogan Get it from Eloquii for $149.95 (available in sizes 14–32 and in four colors). Promising review: "This dress was PERFECT for my friend's wedding. I saw a similar dress on another site at almost double the price, and I decided to take a chance on this. I am SO glad I did! It fit perfectly — it wasn't too tight or uncomfortable. I love that it's sophisticated but still fitted and has the slit in the back for flair. I may even buy it in another color!" —Lauren Pearman Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–12 and in two colors). Promising review: "Bought this for a themed night on a recent trip, and this was the crowd favorite! I ordered a red one but didn’t like the way it looked compared to this color pattern, so I’ll be ordering more patterns. Love the material, which was very soft and breathable. It’s true to size and very stretchy." —Ava N. Get it from Amazon for $39.99 (available in sizes L–4XL and 22 colors/prints). Promising reviews: "This dress is perfect; so comfortable and cute. Can wear with sneakers or dress up with heels." —Paige Kim "Very comfortable and cool (great in hot weather), cute enough to dress up for wine tastings, and it has pockets large enough to hold your phone, keys, snacks (shrimp? You do you). A stranger even complimented me on it, so 10/10 all around." —Mira Get it from Amazon for $38.41+ (available in sizes XXS–5X and in 11 colors). * Dresses You Can Wear For Alllllllllll Of The Weddings You Have Coming Up This Year * Dresses That’ll Let Your Legs Breathe After A Long Winter Of Tights And Pants * 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” Plus, finds from Anthropologie, Bloomchic, Boden, Lulus, Revolve, Target, Torrid, and Walmart.
