A knee-length number with delicate cap sleeves and lace details that’ll leave a lasting impression no matter where you wear it.
Promising review: “I had ordered a dress from Nordstrom Rack that was suddenly back ordered so I took a huge chance and ordered this one last min. It came fast and fit great! I got so many compliments on it! The lace is super comfy and the fray on the sleeves and the bottom really makes the dress unique! The dress is well made with quality material. True to size.” —Snorman

A cocktail dress you can count on to take your sex appeal to the next level while also, surprisingly, staying warm.
Promising review: “This is one of those finds that will restore your faith after a bunch of bad choices. I found my holiday dress, for sure. It comes down to just above my knee. The color was gorgeous as well, and it slides off the shoulders just beautifully. I will be ordering a black one ASAP, and probably a blue one…omg they’re so pretty. Dress it up with heels, or down with leggings and boots, works both ways.” —Hailey
Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and nine styles)
Amazon
3.
An A-line dress with a delicate scalloped hem that’ll add some extra ~pizzazz~ to a classic style. No need to think twice about adding this your wardrobe, friends.
Amazon
4.
An elegant lace swing dress you can wear on days you want to try and convince yourself you’re as poised and well-dressed as Kate Middleton.
Promising review: “It’s a gorgeous dress!!!!! I wore it for New Year’s. After reading reviews, I decided medium was my size and it is. I’m 5’6”, a size 36C, 164 lbs., and an 8/10. I wore a bra but no Spanx — didn’t need them. The quality is great! There’s a stretchy, knit band sewn in the back that acts like a belt for more of a form-fitting fit. It’s really comfortable and the zipper is substantial. I might buy it in navy too.” —Madison Ave Kids
Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–2XL and six colors)
Promising review: “Wow! This is the best piece of clothing I have bought online. I am 5’9”, 120 pounds, very small bust and ordered a small. I like the length of dresses to be right above my knee, and it is. There is a whole lot of fabric on the bottom part of the dress, giving it a full-twirly affect. I will absolutely be purchasing it in another color!” —Mary
Price: $23.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and 41 styles)
Amazon
6.
A unique dress with embroidered floral sleeves to assist in bringing the fun of springtime to cooler months.
Promising review: “I bought this to wear to a wedding and it was a knockout. It washes well and the pockets are a major plus, I didn’t even bother carrying a purse. The straps are a little weird with where they hit under your arms but that might just be me. Still a great party dress!” —paulrmol
Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 16 styles)
Amazon
8.
An off-the-shoulder midi that’ll show off ~all your curves and all your edges~ and have your date bragging about you all night.
Promising review: “I loved this dress! I don’t normally wear fitted dresses but I wanted something cute for my niece’s wedding. I read the reviews and saw all the pictures of the dress on women with so many different body types and they all looked great, so I decided to order one for myself and I’m glad I did. I got so many compliments on my dress and the material felt really nice and had a good amount of stretch to it. I highly recommend buying this dress, you won’t regret it.” —Desi
Price: $23.99 (available in sizes S–3XL and five styles)

Amazon
10.
A lace frock that’ll make you feel as delicate as the handmade doilies your grandma gave you for Christmas.
Promising review: “Definitely buy this dress! The V-neck is sexy but very classy. The dress is short, but since I’m short too it was perfect. If you’re tall, you may want to consider the length. The dress looks just as good in person! I wore it to a wedding and got a lot of compliments. I’d definitely recommend this dress!” —Amazon User
Price: $27.99+ (available in sizes XS–2XL and four colors)
Amazon

Promising review: “This dress is so, so, so beautiful. I can’t believe how nice it looks for the price that I got it! It’s a little short, so ladies beware when bending over, but otherwise it’s perfect for a date night, a wedding, a dinner, a night with the girls, or if you just want to wear it in your apartment and drink wine while you watch The Bachelor that works too. :)” —Veganmd2b
Price: $11.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 11 colors)

A quarter-sleeve number detailed with crocheted flowers that’ll make you want to frolic through a field singing tunes from The Sound of Music.
Promising review: “This dress is perfect. It’s so classy and chic. I’m 5’3″ and curvy, so I ordered a size up to account for my hips and butt. It fit fine, but I like adding a belt to make it less flowy. The details of this dress are so nice and I love it” —J.J.

A high-low cocktail dress that’ll make you feel as beautiful as Cinderella the moment she makes her big debut at the ball.
Promising review: “I love this dress. It fit better than I expected it to, it’s the perfect length. The material looks more expensive than I thought it would, it’s thick and the wrinkles from shipping came out perfectly after I tossed it in the dryer for 20 minutes.” —Nick Neapolitan
Price: $12.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 11 styles)
Amazon

Price: $14.43+ (available sizes XS–3XL and in 43 styles)
I purchased this dress myself for a bachelorette party and my first thought was “I can totally wear this to a wedding.” It gives your body that va-va-voom look without feeling overly exposed — I’m definitely going to order it in another color.

Amazon

A body-hugging dress that’ll have you channeling Julia Roberts’ confidence in Pretty Woman as you strut your way to the waiter serving mini hot dogs.

A pleated dress with trendy scalloped edges – it may ruin every other dress for you because it’s so freakin’ pretty.
Promising review: “This dress is great! I wore it to a wedding this past weekend and received so many compliments! It’s super comfortable and a great fit. I’d say true to size. I am a medium in pretty much everything and it fit perfectly. It did arrive wrinkled but I steamed it and it was fine. I highly recommend this dress.” —Stacy Garrity

Amazon

A dress with sleeves that’ll set your heart ~aflutter~ whenever you catch a glimpse of yourself.
Promising review: “This dress fit me like a dream! It fit over my larger chest without thinning out or becoming see-through. I am short and have an uncommon body shape, but this needed no alterations at all. Buy this dress, ladies. You can thank me later.” —Rachel
Price: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors)
Promising review: “Really cute dress! Great for business meetings where you want to crush your romantic rivals without being too obvious. I imagine this would be the kind of dress I’d wear if I had to work in an office in the big city or my snooty in-laws wanted us to ‘dress nice’ for Christmas.” —Michelle Ann B
Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–3XL and 17 colors)
