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. I ordered an XL. I could have absolutely gotten a large, but I wanted it just a bit looser and was worried the length would be too short. It wasn’t — I’m 5’7″, and 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. You can dress it up with heels, or down with leggings and boots.” —Hailey

A windowpane-print turtleneck dress mixing timeless yet trendy vibes for a très chic look.
Some reviewers do say it runs small, so size up!
Promising review: “This dress is so cute! I received many compliments everywhere I went while wearing it. The length was perfect — just past the knee. It washed well and the material lies nicely. It didn’t winkle, even after sitting in the car for a couple of hours, so it’s great for work! The lines do not match up 100% at the seams, so if that bothers you, you may not want this dress. I solved that issue by adding a belt. Very happy with my purchase!” —A

Promising review: “There are few words to describe this dress. It is absolutely gorgeous! Fit as expected and looks as pictured. The inside is silk, so it is super comfortable. It comes to a good length, I’m 5’7. It is stretchy, so you could probably size down if you like a real fitted look, or size up to keep it loose, but I’d go with your true sizing.

A velvety maxi designed to look great with a fancy belt for a style that is anything but simple.
Promising review: “This dress is gorgeous! I have received tons of compliments from random strangers, and I’ve only worn it about three times. It’s ridiculously comfortable and the pockets are excellent. I mean, pockets in a dress are one of the greatest things ever, but I feel like most of the time I can’t actually use them. It creates a bulge. That is not the case with this dress. Because it’s so open and flowy, I can stash a ChapStick or a pen in the pockets without it showing at all. The color is also true to the Amazon photo, though of course, depending on lighting, sometimes it looks more golden yellow and other times more orange. Either way, it’s going to be perfect for fall.” —Jessica
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes XS–L and five colors).
