MakeMeChic Summer Boho Floral Print Square Neck Maxi Dress


A smocked floral maxi dress is a classic staple everyone should have in their wardrobes. You can wear it as a wedding guest dress, picnics, or on vacay since the frock works for a plethora of occasions. "I didn’t expect to love this dress as much as I did. However, it looks great dressed up or down. The dress is just very flattering," writes a reviewer. "Since it’s linen, it does wrinkle easily. Also one note is that you'll need to wear a strapless bra with it. I was hoping I could get away with a regular bra, but the way the straps meet the bodice, it didn’t work. The dress would be such a flattering postpartum outfit too."

Free People Adella Slip Dress


The Adella Slip Dress is one of Free People's most popular styles because of its dainty silhouette. The asymmetrical hem, lace trim, and smocked design add to the fairy aesthetic designed for frolicking. "The dress is super comfy and cute dress with a nice spin factor for anyone that loves a nice twirly dress for dancing. I was worried it would be too short but I’m 5’8” and it fit perfectly," writes a reviewer.

BTFBM Ruffle Cap Sleeve V-Neck Boho Maxi Dress


Lightweight and breezy, the ruffle maxi is a summer staple for its effortless styling capabilities. The chiffon fabric is soft on the skin and comfortable to wear on a scorching, humid day. "I ordered my true-to-size (M), and it fit perfectly. The fabric is not itchy, which is a huge plus! Personally, I like to wear the detachable belt to accentuate my waist," explains a reviewer. "The length hit me about mid-calf. I have worn it multiple times, and it washes well if you wash it cold and line dry. I also used a steamer on it in a gentle setting, and it held up great."

Here's a breezy shirt dress perfect for a picnic or BBQ. It's especially great for petites given its shorter hem: "I love this dress. It’s pretty TTS. I’m 5’3” and a normal medium. This fits great. It falls just above my knee for a perfect length! I love the pockets too," writes a reviewer.

It doesn't run small, it's not tight anywhere, nor does not show any bulges or bumps," explains a reviewer. "The dress is lined with a sewn-in thin smooth cotton lining, so it will stay cool during the summer. The perfect dress to wear to a wine tasting, out to lunch, or garden party type setting."

The waistband has a good amount of stretch, which is very comfortable," shares a reviewer. "I wore it as a wedding guest, and it was perfect. I’m glad I sized down; the L was perfect. The dress is pretty well built; the snap closure is a good spot on the chest, the lining is soft, and the stitching is secure."

"I cannot emphasize enough how lightweight and breathable this dress is! As a plus-sized woman, it can be hard to find dresses flattering to a larger belly area (especially shorter dresses that don't show too much), but this dress is perfect," says a reviewer. "On colder days, I add leggings under it, but I am completely comfortable with the length and fit to wear without leggings and not feel exposed to the whole world."

How darling is this summer dress! The wrap detail, the crossover top, the ruffle hem, the floral print...this is a frock begging to be seen. "This dress is absolutely fantastic. The fabric is comfortable. It's lightweight with some texture to it. Also, it doesn't have a cheap feeling at all. I am a size 8 generally and 5'3, about 150lbs right now. I have a 34D chest. I ordered a medium and it fits like a dream," writes one enthusiastic reviewer.

The Drop Ana Silky V-Neck Midi Slip Dress


The R29 Shopping team's own Karina Hoshikawa reviewed this unassuming but stunning slip dress a few years ago — and it still remains one of Amazon Fashion's best-kept secrets. Hoshikawa writes, "The color is on point. The price is right. The shipping was free and fast. It's comfortable. It's cute. It can be dressed up or down with minimal styling effort required. But, perhaps best of all, the length was actually a true midi — aka hitting right at the calf on my 5'2 frame."

There are so many ways to style it and it fits perfectly! I always worry about the straps and length as I am very short and dresses tend to be too long or the top part hangs low on the chest but not with this dress! Only thing I wish is that the material was a little thicker. It's very thin but helps it be a little flowy," writes a reviewer.
