Promising review: "Stunning! I am short and a bit curvy, so usually shapeless column silk dresses like this are... too tight,... too loose, or look like a tent on me. But this dress is magic! It has just enough room to skim the body without being too loose or too tight. Super comfortable, and I got so many compliments. And it came in petite length so no hem required! Love love love it." —AngelaRegina

It's a real confidence booster!" —Gr8ful Nurse

Promising review: "Just get it, perfect for a summer wedding! I was a little hesitant at first because of the shoulder flower, but honestly, this dress was beautiful... It fit beautifully, and the biggest perks were: 1) didn’t show a lot of wrinkles because of the fabric and print, 2) didn’t have me looking like a sweaty mess despite the very hot weather, 3) has some stretch and is very lightweight (but not see-through!). Be mindful the slit is high, I wore bike shorts under." —Kailey McEvilly

Promising review: "I was worried about ordering this dress because some of the reviews stated that the sizing is weird. I'm 5'4" and around 112 lbs, so I ordered an XS, and it's PERFECT! I wore it to my brother's wedding and got so many compliments. The straps being adjustable helped to make it a perfect fit. This is my new go-to dress for weddings and other events. For those asking about what bra to wear, I just wore silicone petal covers, and they worked great with the dress." —Kelsey

Promising review: "The quality of this dress is impressive!! It's so soft, the style was extremely [cute], and the color is absolutely beautiful!! (I ordered the color burgundy) I took the time to read quite a few reviews myself before buying it, and a lot of them said it ran small, and to order the next size up, SOOO GLAD I DID BOTH!!...As an added bonus, the dress is machine washable, in cold water on delicate setting, on its own, lay flat to dry! So very pleased with this purchase!! It’s the best one I’ve made on Amazon yet! lol." —Cecilia Durkee

Oh, one of my favorite things is that due to the style, you can wear a regular push-up bra and just tuck in the strap on one side. For us larger busted [people], that's huge, so we don't have to struggle with tape or strapless bras." —Mandy A

Promising review: "Absolutely stunning! Just received this dress, and ordered in two sizes to compare (my size and a size up), and honestly, my size fits perfectly! The liner is stretchy, but the lace isn't. Honestly, if you have a spring event, go for it!" —Amric

The material is of great quality, is soft and light, and does not look or feel cheap. It looks like something you would find in a local high-end boutique, minus the high-end price tag! Very affordable for fashionistas on a budget!" —Dancing Orchid

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.

Promising reviews: "Gorgeous! I love this dress so much! The fit is perfect; the top stays in place, and the length is perfect for any shoe height. The tiers are so beautiful, and I love the flowy skirt. It's perfect for dancing and feels so comfortable!" —Julia M.

"Danced the night away! This fits perfectly, especially as a woman with a 44H bust. The top part stayed up all night through three hours of dancing. I got so many compliments. Absolutely loved this dress." —Zaya N.

Get it from Lulu's for $79 (originally $99; available in sizes XXS–3X and in 14 colors/patterns). 

Promising reviews: "Very cute dress! I wore it to a country-themed wedding...The fabric in the middle is very stretchy and comfortable, but hugs in a very [nice] way. I saw other reviews that said you could wear it backwards as well, and I can confirm that! I also like that I can wear a normal bra with it; the tie can be wrapped in a way that hides the back of your bra, and your straps stay under the sleeves as well. Definitely would order again!" —Kelsey

"Don't walk, RUN!!! I was skeptical about this dress. I’ve never bought clothes from Amazon, but I just liked this dress so much I had to try it, and when I tell you it’s perfect, it. Is. Perfect!! I bought this as a dress to wear to my boyfriend’s brother’s wedding (which is tropical cocktail attire). As a bigger girl, size 16/18, I was nervous as to whether the stretch was actually stretchy and whether the sheer sleeves would actually fit my arms, both of which were easily assured when I tried the dress on. Let’s start with the sleeves, very sheer, just a single thin layer, but very roomy and loose, perfect for an outdoor summer event... The waistline [has] a great amount of stretch to accommodate a larger body or bust. The skirt flares out perfectly, and the length is perfect, too." —Barbara Lambert

Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 19 colors).

Promising review: "I love it! I got this dress specifically to wear on my birthday, and it was so pretty in person. I ended up doing a photoshoot that day, and it photographed nicely!" —Helmi H.

Get it from ModCloth for $89+ (originally $99+; available in sizes S–3X and in pink or red).

Promising review: "If I could give this dress six 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." —Katrina Taylor

Get it from Amazon for $64.99+ (available in sizes 0–26 Plus and 35 colors)

Promising reviews: "Worth the money!! So glad I bought this precious dress!! Looks like a much more expensive brand! Nice thick material, vibrant color, and a perfect fit! I wore this with my cowboy boots and got so many compliments! No stretch to the material, but it didn’t wrinkle." —Lisa Lambert

"Cute dress. Sleeves are structured and puffy. Perfect in the spring/summer but also great with high boots and a thin turtleneck in the fall... Very versatile."  —Shelly

Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes S–L and nine colors).

Get it from Lisa Says Gah for $160 (available in sizes S–3XL). 

Promising review: "Possibly the world's most perfect dress. So many ways to wear this beautiful dress! It’s so versatile, you get more than you pay for. It comes with a detached belt of the same fabric, so you can make it fitted on the waist, but I love the dress without it. So elegant. The fabric can be dressed up for evening with a glam heel and the right jewelry, or dressed casually for daytime with a leather belt and denim jacket. You can really do anything with it!" —Lacey

Get it from Petal and Pup for $59.97+ (originally $120; available in sizes XS–XL and in seven colors).

Promising review: "This dress is so gorgeous, well-made, and very comfortable! I purchased it to wear to a Military Ball. There is nothing about this dress that's ill-fitting, rough/scratchy, or uncomfortable. The outer layer is very light and flowy. The inner layer is still lightweight, but more silky. The cups are also lined in this same silky material. I don't know that I'd be able to wear a bra with it, as it does show a bit of side boob. But, the cups feel somewhat supportive...Great dress — BUY IT! It would be awesome for bridesmaids or for [someone] to wear as a wedding guest, prom, bridal shower, etc." —ALC123

Get it from Amazon for $81+ (available in sizes 2–26 and in 26 colors).

Promising review: "Loved the dress, was a little scared it would be too short, but it was good because it’s a little longer on the back and front. Wore it to a wedding and it was perfect. The material is stretchy and not too sheer, nothing shows, so you don’t have to wear items underneath." —Erick

Get it from Amazon for $45.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 35 styles). 

Promising review: "I bought this dress and four others for the inaugural balls. This one fit like a dream! I had it hemmed, but otherwise, it fit well, and I had compliments all evening. The dress is so classy and elegant. I can't wait to get a different color and have it on hand for other events. Definitely a go-to option for black tie affairs! I got the size based on the bust, and it fit great!" —Destiny Decker
