Promising review: "I wore this shirt all spring, summer, and fall! They are sooo cute and comfortable. I don’t even need to wear a bra with them, and even though my chest is on the smaller end, they held everything together, no problem! Seriously want these EVERY SINGLE COLOR!" —Faith

Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and 35 colors/prints).

Promising review: "I felt absolutely gorgeous in this dress! I received so many compliments from friends, and it made me feel confident and beautiful all day. I wasn't worried about [showing my back] one bit — because the front was giving pure luxury and elegance! ✨👗💃 This dress definitely made a statement, and I loved every minute of wearing it. ❤️" —Stacy

Get it from Eloquii for $79.95 (available in sizes 14–28).

Promising review: "Gorgeous! Fits amazing, great material, beautiful quality. Sizing was perfect, possibly a little large in the busy area, but I’m beyond pleased with this dress. Perfect length and versatile." —SaraSmilezz

Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and nine colors/prints).

Get it from Shopbop for $65 (available in sizes XXS–XXL).

Promising review: "This piece is amazing, I’m a little taller than average, and the snaps aren’t uncomfortable or too tight. I’ve worn this to concerts, Disney, and date nights. Super versatile and the double lining makes it easy to go braless in it." —Cj Murray

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and nine colors).

Get it from Bloomchic for $32.90 (available in sizes M–6X).

Promising review: "This top is so good! Simple and classy from the front and a smoke show from the back! I got so many compliments! I sized up from my usual small to a medium to ensure that I didn’t have any side boob slipping out. The neck is a little bit tough to get fastened on your own, but doable!" —Amber M.

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 19 colors/prints).

Promising review: "Surprisingly comfortable for being a cute square with strings! I loved the floral design and the open back." —Elaine

Get it from Target for $25 (available in sizes XXS–4X).

Get it from Free People for $78 (available in sizes XS–XL and ivory).

Promising review: "This tennis dress with built-in shorts and bra is super soft, lightweight, and really comfortable for all-day wear. Nice stretch and support, and it moves easily without feeling restrictive. The quality feels good, and it holds up well for workouts or casual wear. It’s especially great in hot weather since it’s breathable and never feels stuffy." —Marie Phillips

Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 13 colors).

Promising review: "Really cute summer top! If you have a bigger chest, I would size up. I'm a 32C, and the 'cup' area is a little tight. Otherwise, love this!" —Emily S.

Get it from Lulus for $29.25+ (originally $39; available in sizes XS–XL and white).

Promising review: "True to size, absolute stunning piece. 🥰  The eyes will be on you the entire night. 10/10 definitely recommend, I will definitely purchase more in all colors." —Pretty Pink Lady

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and five colors).

Promising review: "This dress is a very beautiful and flowy dress, perfect for summer. I read from other reviews that this dress runs large, and that was exactly correct. I'd say order for the length, not the width, because it's so loose. The material feels good and is not scratchy. The only thing that would make this dress better is if it had pockets (it does not have any). Overall, this dress is of great quality to wear either around the house or out and about. Can't wait to wear it!" —Tahra

Get it from Amazon for $28.21+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 24 colors/prints).

Get it from J.Crew for $59.99+ (originally $148+; available in sizes XXS–4X classic, and selected tall sizes, and five colors/prints).

Promising review: "I love this shirt. The material is beautiful and comfortable. I really like the open back. At my age, I'm not sure about getting this shirt, but I'm so glad I did. I can dress this shirt up or down. I'm glad I purchased this and took the chance." —Teib

Get it from Torrid for $49.90 (available in sizes M–6X).

Promising review: "This has become my favorite summer dress! The material is light and soft. This red is very radiant and rich! The top cut of the dress in the chest area is form-fitting. You don’t have to worry about support, it’s there. However, the downside is that the strap that goes across the chest only ties in the front and doesn’t adjust completely. Nevertheless, I would not let that deter you from purchasing it. It is still a good fit at the top. The dress comes all the way down to about your ankles and has an underskirt! The waist of the dress is very stretchy. This is a very versatile dress. It gives you a bohemian look, but you can dress it up in heels, too. The quality of the stitching and the material is great. This is well worth the cost. I plan to go get this dress and yellow 💛 next." —Natalia Pose

Get it from Amazon for $39.98 (available in sizes XS–XL and 21 colors).

Get it from Banana Republic for $90 (originally $130; available in sizes XXS–XXL and brown).

Promising review: "This dress is absolutely amazing! I needed something stylish for a happy hour event in Palm Springs, and this was the perfect choice. Just a note: you won’t be able to wear a bra with it since the back is open, but the fit is so good that it’s not an issue. It’s form-fitting without being too tight — very forgiving and comfortable. The material is stretchy, and the sizing is spot on. I felt confident and got so many compliments!" —Desert Rosé

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 20 colors).

Promising reviews: "Great material. Perfect for work or outings." —Maria M

Get it from Old Navy for $17.49 (originally $24.99; available in sizes XS–4X and four colors).

Promising review: "I have been looking for a cotton cover-up that's cute, for YEARS. The quality is amazing, the design is classic, and it gives a European vibe. I am psyched to wear this in the summer over my suit!" —Katherine F.

Get it from Quince for $49.90 (available in sizes XS–XL and three colors).

Promising review: "Super super cute, exactly like the photo, the fit is 100% adjustable, which I LOVE, super good quality and breathable, it’s not heavy but still good quality, I LOVE it!!" —Andrea

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL, two styles, and 20 colors).

Promising review: "Love this top. Seems high quality. Could size down, but it looks really cute, a little loose." —hannah32

Promising review: "The dress fits perfectly and looks nice! I don't need any alterations, and the back is very pretty too!" —Rebekah N.

Get it from Birdy Grey for $99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 85 colors/prints).

Promising review: "Ok, Target, keep making these styles and add a wee bit more support for the girls, please?! Super cute too, length is perfect, I am 5’3 (5’4 on a good day), and it hits right below my natural waist, giving you the option to wear with shorts, skirts, or even the cute wide-legged pants!! ONLY took a star away as if you are too blessed it doesn’t give that much support, so definitely a vacation top or special date night. 🤭" —oliviag1995
