Promising review: "I wasn't sure what to expect, but it is a SUPER CUTE dress. Quality stitching. Stretchy, lightweight, and comfortable, with a nice structure. My only call-out is that it isn't lined, so I will need to wear a slip with it." —Walmart Customer

Price: $36.49+ (available in sizes S–XXL and five colors)

Promising review: "Dresses are my go-to to wear while at home doing housework or simply relaxing. This dress serves that purpose and still looks good if I pop on some sneakers to go out and run errands. The fabric is a little better than expected, but it is somewhat sheer across the chest (I can see the silhouette of my bra). I'm also chesty, so I bought a size larger than I normally wear and it fits perfectly. Washes better than expected as well. After three washes, it has not pilled or faded. I plan to buy more of this dress in other colors. This was a great buy." —Kim

Price: $15.29 (originally $27.99; available in sizes 1X–5X and 13 colors)

Promising review: “Nice fabric — no stretch, but the design and details are stunning and so cute. I'm bringing this on my April cruise for a casual dinner dress. It's probably going to wrinkle, but I'm willing to bet I can steam it. It's the ideal spring-cruise dress in nautical navy blue. I'm apple-shaped, and this cut dress actually gives me a waist! Buy it now!” —Jill

Price: $16.79+ (originally $26.99, available in sizes S–3XL and 16 colors/prints)

Promising review: "The dress is the right length and is great. The fit runs a little big, but it is very comfortable. Paired with a belt, it dresses up and looks nice. I love the V-neck style, too." —Walmart Customer

Price: $15.69+ (originally $28.99+, available in sizes S–3XL and18 colors/prints)

Promising review: "I was surprised how cute this dress was. I was really thinking I would probably have to return it when it came. But it really turned out really, really cute! Would look good with sandals, heels, or even ankle or knee-high boots. Very comfortable and the material is nice. For the price, you can't beat it!" —Coco11

Price: $16.89+ (originally $32.28; available in sizes S–2XL and 10 colors/styles)

Price: $16.98 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors/prints)

Promising review: "I love this dress. The feel of the material is lovely, as well as the pattern. I got several compliments. It makes you feel wonderful. Buy it. Give yourself permission to buy it." —Kendra

Promising review: "I wasn't sure if I was going to like this dress; however, I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this dress for the cost. I do not regret this purchase. The material is not flimsy and is not see-through. Super cute with sneakers, sandals, and heels! I have seen something very similar on another internet shopping site for over $30. I can't compare quality, but even if the quality is equal, this is a steal!" —Lisa

Price: $17.99+ (originally $36.99, available in sizes S–2XL and six colors)

Promising review: "This is a pretty, flowing V-neck dress that can be dressed up with heels and accessories or casual with sneakers or low boots... So versatile! It's not tight around the bust, which I love, and fits with a little more room than usual, but overall a great fit." —Bre

Price: $17.99+ (originally $33.98, available in sizes S–2XL and 13 colors/prints)

Promising review: "Fits very nicely, lots of compliments, and very soft." —rhonda

Promising review: "I like the loose fit of the dress. It can be worn casually as it is described, but dressy as well. The pockets are a big plus for me. The material is light and airy, and I like wearing mid-length dresses, so this dress checks all the boxes for me." —Claudette

Price: $14.98 (available in sizes XXS–4X and three colors)

Promising review: "To be fair, I haven't worn this dress more than just to try it on when I got it. The material is soft and light, and I was afraid it would cling to my stomach, but it didn't. I love the pockets and the way the dress is breezy and flowy. I'm going to buy the same dress in another print." —Jennifer

Price: $14.83+ (originally $29.99+; available in sizes M–3XL and 16 colors/prints)

Price: $13.99+ (originally $26.99, available in sizes S–3XL and 14 colors/prints)

Promising review: "There is nothing about this dress I do not love. The fabric is heavy enough to fall beautifully, and I can already tell it will be easy to care for. I used the size chart to match my measurements, and it's a perfect fit. It has surpassed my expectations." —LindaW

Price: $45.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 17 colors)

Promising review: "Cute for spring and maybe summer. A lot of room in the stomach area. Good length. Just an everyday dress, or you can use it at work as well, depending on the length. But I liked it." —Walmart customer

Price: $13.11+ (originally $28; available in sizes XS–4X and two colors) 

Promising review: "Love it. I'm getting more. The dress is made of a soft, quality material, with a weight that gives a nice flow. The loose waist gives much comfort in movement, without looking frumpy." —Urmel
