Promising review: "This is so cute! Has pockets! And 100% cotton! Keep the great dresses coming, Walmart!" —Patricia

Price: $21.60 (originally $36; available in sizes S–4X)

Promising review: "The most fun dress ever that brings so much joy! As a small person, these dresses can tend to swallow you, but it's such a fun statement dress! The straps and front are adjustable. I find this to be TTS and just the right length for the short girlies. This dress is not one for a defined waist. It's very look at me, I'm fabulous! It has so much personality and feels very high fashion. Love love love!" —Jessica

Price: $30 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors/patterns)

Promising review: "Never thought I could wear a tube top, but this little number has changed that for me. It is such a cute dress, and it works because the 'tube' or the gathering runs all the way down to my waist rather than flaring out under my bust. The result is that the top looks fitted and it then flares out to a full skirt below the waist." —Walmart customer

Price: $15.24+ (available in sizes S–3X and 20 colors/patterns)

Promising review: "Love this cotton dress with cotton lining! It is not see-through, and I don't have to wear a bra or slip. Perfect for hot Texas summer weather." —Yesitsreallyme

Price: $21.60+ (originally $36; available in sizes XS–4X and three colors/patterns)

Promising review: "This dress is absolutely beautiful from the embroidery to the boat detail. This dress would be perfect for the summer season. 10 out of 10." —Cheri

Price: $22.80 (originally $38; available in sizes XS–XXL)

Price: $32 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors/patterns)

Promising review: "GORGEOUS strapless dress, the fabric, colors and style looks like it costs so much more $$$$. I got both colors. I think it runs large. These are beautiful fun dresses!!!" —jjack

Price: $38 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors/patterns)

Promising review: "This dress is very pretty. The bonus is the pockets!" —Angela

Price: $19.98+ (originally $24.98; available in sizes XS–XXXL and three colors/patterns)

Promising review: "Beautiful print. So cute for summer to wear out to parties, BBQs, etc. Dress up with accessories for a night on the town! Not lined, but that's ok, because the fabric is not heavy and makes it perfect for summer. It has pockets!" —Susan

Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–4X and five colors/patterns)

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

Promising review: "I loved how this dress looked online and loved the price, so I decided to give it a try. I was surprised and pleased at the quality of the fabric. The dress looks and feels great on me, and now my daughter wants the link. Highly recommend." —Luara

Price: $19.99+ (originally $39.99; available in sizes S–XXL and six colors)

Promising review: "I love these dresses and have purchased almost every color. They can be worn casually with sandals or flip-flops in the summer, or you can dress them up with heels and a sweatervest, scarf, or cardigan in fall or spring." —Regina

Price: $11.98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and nine colors)

Promising review: "I was very pleasantly surprised with this dress. It is very well-made, and I was expecting the fabric to be thin and flimsy, but it has a more substantial feel. This fits nicely, and even being big-busted, I can button it without gaps. It has pockets and a small zipper and hook under the arm for help in taking it on and off. I purchased the chambray color, but I'm going to get the black one also because at $36 it's a bargain for a nice-fitting, well-made dress." —Trackee

Price: $36 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)

Price: $34 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors)

Promising review: "Purchased this to have a go-to dress for summer events! Its lightweight and breathable material makes it nice for the warm months, and it is fully lined for easy wear! I love the sleeve/strap details, and the bodice is ruched material, but also has darts for a better fit. Great for baby and bridal showers, christenings, and weddings." —Hannah

Price: $46.39+ (originally $79.99; available in sizes S–XXL and 14 colors/patterns)

Promising review: "BEST summer dress!!! This is my everyday dress I wear when I'm at home and soooo comfortable!!!! GREAT price, great material, and great fit!!! Please don't ever stop selling!!! I purchase this dress every year, renewing it from last year's. I buy at least four to five colors every year! I cannot recommend this enough!!!" —ZMB

Price: $9+ (originally $12.98; available in sizes XS–XXXL and eight colors/patterns)

Promising review: "This is a well-made, comfortable sleeveless summer dress. I purchased a lace cardigan shrug in the same color blue as the flowers on the dress. Really makes the dress into something that I can wear for a more formal event or an evening out!" —Susan

Promising review: "Looks more expensive than the cost. Scallop detail on top and detail on the bottom skirt elevate the look. Had to buy two sizes down as it runs large, but very happy with the look. Got many compliments." —Ana

Price: $19.20 (originally $32; available in sizes L–4X and two colors)

Promising review: "It feels like a $100 dress! It's soft and just perfection! I'll probably order the other two!" —Janet

Price: $4.51+ (originally $19.98; available in sizes 0X–5X and five colors/patterns)

Promising review: "This dress is so pretty and simple. I got it for my daughter, who fell in love with it immediately! The picture does not do the gorgeous colors justice at all. I got the smallest they had available, which is still a little big for her, but that's okay. That just means it will last longer as she can grow more into it, as it is a spandex-type material, a polyester blend! Love it, and this summer, as she tans, it will look even better! I definitely recommend this dress! 😍😊" —Sabrina
