19. A fun and funky printed skater dress sure to dazzle! Its soft and quick-dry fabric means you can easily spend all day in this cute fit.
Promising review: "I've bought 11 of the skater and sleeveless dresses so far, and they are incredible. I wear a 3X–4X in most brands, but friends told me to go up a size for my large bust. I did that, and the fit is perfect. These dresses look so simple, but the cut is magic. I have friends of all shapes, sizes, and heights, and nearly everyone raves about these. The quality is really good. I was wary of the poly/spandex mix, but it's breathable, super comfortable, and soft. I can't get over all the prints. I love alternative looks, and it's so hard for plus sizes to find cute clothes that aren't frumpy, ill-cut, or that end up looking like sacks. These are fun, and I will be buying more in more styles." —Rachel S Runyan
Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in sizes XS–5XL and in 44 prints).

22. A casually cute V-neck dress whose ruffles and loose fit prove that looking good and being comfortable are *not* mutually exclusive. Pair it with white sneakers for a charming errand-running outfit or with heeled sandals for a park date!
Promising review: "I am obsessed with this dress. This was my first time buying clothes from Amazon since the sizing can be tricky. However, it fits perfectly and has a loose flowy fit. I cannot wait to purchase the other colors!!!" —Bryan & Dayana Hernandez

25. A faux-wrap floral number with an asymmetrical ruffle hem that'll make you feel like the belle of the ball.
Promising review: "I searched through about 300 'cocktail dress with long sleeves' options before finding this gem! The material is great — it stands up to wrinkles/long car rides and doesn’t cling at all. The cut is (really) low, so I got some skin/fabric tape to close it up. This is a large; a medium would probably have been too short. I love it!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $32.99+ (available in sizes 4–22 and in 27 prints).
26. A backless halter dress with adjustable ties at the neck and waist for a tailored-to-you fit. You'll be giving off ~beach vibes~ no matter where you are! Yes, even in line for street tacos from that vendor near the construction site.
