1. A deep V maxi gown that's simple, versatile, and available in enough pretty colors to fit just about any dress code. Plus, reviewers say that the fabric isn't scratchy at all — especially because of the silky inner layer under the chiffon.
Reviewers recommend sizing up.
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 $81.99 (available in sizes 2–26 and in 26 colors).

Promising review: "This dress is very soft. I love the pockets. I was able to have my cell phone, lip gloss, my keys and more without anyone seeing it or bulging. The length is perfect.

Promising review: "LOVE this dress. Wore this to my sister’s wedding in the Dominican Republic. I received many compliments, and I didn’t feel squished... it was perfect with heels, a little long without. I had room to dance, it felt airy, I loved how it fit. Really happy with this one!" —Kathryn Tamondong
Get it from Amazon for $69.99 (available in sizes 0–26 and in 27 colors)
10. A daring *and* dazzling bodycon maxi in a trendy chartreuse shade that would look especially ~current~ paired with some burgundy accessories.

Promising review: "I'm in love with this dress it’s so comfy and flows beautifully 🥰 My hubby can’t keep his eyes off me when I’m wearing this lol. I will definitely be purchasing some more in different colors. The length and the fit were perfect and true to size. I’m 5’3, so it does go past my ankle a little, but I like that.

Promising review: "Just get it; it's 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!).

Promising review: "I purchased this dress on a whim for a wedding I was attending. I love this dress, and I am already looking for another event to wear it to. I received so many compliments on the color, the high-low hemline, and the off-the-shoulder neckline. It is very comfortable, stretchy, and well-made, especially for the price. I attended an outside wedding in Florida when it was about 85 degrees with very high humidity. My biggest plus was it did not show sweat! A lot of ladies were very jealous. I was comfortable the entire night. I wore the dress for about 12 hours, eight being outside. The shoulders did not slip. I definitely say try this dress! You cannot go wrong." —Amanda

Promising review: "I LOVE these dresses, except I like to wear them as lounge gowns. I’ve tried similar ones from Skims and these are my favorite! The fabric is just right so it’s not see through. They’re a little long on me, but it doesn’t bother me. My only wish is that the company would use this same fabric and design a strapless version!" —Misty
