A midi slip dress *so* versatile for the warmer months. Wear it solo for those sweltering summer days, or throw on a light jacket to beat the evening chill.
I have this dress in black, and it's simply stunning. It looks so much more expensive than $15, is super comfy, and hangs really nicely. It runs large, so I'd definitely size down. Also, I'm 5'1", so it does touch the floor, but it's nothing a pair of heels or platform sneaks won't fix. Promising review: "I love everything about this dress. It's cute and comfortable. You can dress up or down. It's the perfect length (I am 5'10"). Not knocking down Target, but I really can't believe it's from Target! I got a similar one from All Saints, and I love the Target one so much more! Don't think about it, just buy it!" —KFree Price: $15 (originally $25; available in sizes XS–4X and four colors)
A tiered maxi dress that literally looks like it could have been bought from a $$$ occasionwear store. I saw this and immediately bought it for my brother's summer wedding, and I can't WAIT to tell everyone that it cost less than $35 bucks.
Promising review: "This dress is perfection! I tried it on and it fit like a glove. Probably not a great fit if you're super busty, but as a B/C it's perfect." —carymama2011Price: $38.50 (originally $55; available in sizes XS–4X and three colors)
An A-line mini dress complete with ruffle detailing on the shoulders. The hidden side zip makes it easy to slip in and out of, and the spaghetti straps are adjustable for ~comfort~. It's so stylish, it's just begging to be worn at a garden gathering or a white party.
Promising review: "Love this dress. I love an off-the-shoulder look and this one is everything. Love the bubble part and I really like how the zipper works where it doesn't go all the way up. I purchased my usual A New Day dress size and the fit is good. It is a little snug in a good way to give a very flattering look. A great value and definitely recommend." —VikkiPrice: $28 (originally $40; available in sizes 0–26 and also in black)
