Promising review: "The most comfortable piece of clothing I’ve put on in a long time, very lightweight, a little see-through, so you have to wear like maybe a half slip up underneath, possibly, but it’s perfect for summertime. Great for a night out, right after the beach, or landing around the house. I definitely would buy this again. It is so soft. The color was great. Looks good on me. I would definitely recommend this now. I got the XXL cause I like mine a little bit bigger, you probably could go with the regular size." —Connie C.

Promising review: "I ordered the boho print dress in an XL. Perfect fit for me. I’m 42DD, 5’4”, and 192 pounds. Comfy fabric, beautiful pattern, and eye-catching colors. Length hits me mid shin. Love the pockets and the fit. The dress sits nicely over my chest and falls to my waist, then gradually flares out a little so it’s not tight or clingy. It’s lightweight, which I’ll love here in Florida. I did order a lightweight, thin shrug in burnt orange to go with this dress. A denim jacket would look good too, and all types of shoes. I’m very happy with it so far. I washed it on the gentle cycle and line dried. No wrinkles or fading after first wash." —Cat

Promising review: "This dress is fabulous! It feels so silky and comfortable. It is very lightweight and breathable, but not see-through. I think this will be my favorite summer dress. You can dress it up or wear it casually. The color, lake blue, is beautiful. I am 5'3 and 130 pounds and the small fits great! The fabric is very nice, but I don't think I will be ironing it, as it scorches easily. I plan on using a steamer. Do not pass on this dress." —TupeloTwin

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 19 colors).

Promising review: "Nice romper, comfortable and cute! I ordered a size up because I like a looser fit, and it is perfect.

Promising review: "I   bought this dress to throw on for dinners while traveling in warm destinations. It was perfect, extremely thin and lightweight. The only negative is that it’s so thin, only a sticky bra would work with it. It also wrinkles easily, but the wrinkles come out easily with steaming. The silky texture makes it very comfortable and enjoyable to wear!" —Mackenzie M.
