Versatile Vision
This flattering square-neck dress with a ruffled hem is great for a formal or casual event. The elegant piece, which comes in a rainbow of colors, is designed with a waist tie and adjustable tie-up straps. Dress it up by pairing it with on-trend platform sandals, or keep it casual by adding a denim jacket and flat shoes. One five-star reviewer noted she ordered 15 dresses before deciding on the ANRABESS mid-length dress in dusty blue. “This one was the only perfect one I found on Amazon,” she shared. “Fits perfect, not see through, adjustable tie straps. I absolutely love it and will order in other colors as it is perfect for a wide range of occasions.”
ANRABESS Square Neck Ruffle Split Midi Formal Summer Dress: $44.99.
Shoulder On
Another review winner, the PRETTYGARDEN one-shoulder bodycon dress is perfect for a garden wedding. Appropriately, it comes in a plethora of pretty floral prints that scream spring. For a more sophisticated take, the mid-length dress also is available in solid colors, including elegant black and a summer-like apricot. Reviewers note the bohemian-style dress is stretchy, comfortable and flattering, all things we love in an outfit.

Lovely Lace
Suitable for a wedding guest, mother of the bride or even the bride herself (the dress comes in bright white), this lace cocktail dress from MEROKEETY wins for versatility — and reviewers agree. The classic cap-sleeved dress, available in numerous hues, has close to 20,000 positive ratings on Amazon. “THIS is THE dress! It’s just beautiful!!! Great quality and it’s also very soft and comfortable!,” raved one reviewer. “I have bought several dresses over the past few months for my upcoming honeymoon — and this dress is better than some of the $400 dresses I’ve tried!”
MEROKEETY Sleeveless Lace Floral Elegant Cocktail Dress: $52.99.
Wedding Tiers
How fun is this floaty chiffon dress in a multitude of layers? The swing dress has a loose-fit, meaning you’ll be sitting comfortably in the event of a long wedding ceremony — or if you decide to overindulge at the cookie table. The sleeveless dress also has an adorable tie design around the neck and comes in a plethora of colors, although we prefer it in soft pastels such as sunny yellow and blush pink. The frothy dress is also guaranteed to be a hit for graduation parties, vacation dinners and wedding or baby showers.

Wrap it Up
If there’s anything more flattering than a wrap dress, we haven’t found it yet. Cinched at the waist, with an asymmetric ruffle trim at the bottom and a high split on one side, this dress is a dream for all body types. “I agree, this dress is incredibly figure flattering,” wrote one reviewer. “I wore the dress to work, and like many other reviewers, received many compliments. One of my coworkers couldn’t believe this was from Amazon!” Although it comes in many colors and patterns, we particularly love this short-sleeved, lightweight dress in a bold, bright print, ideal for a destination wedding in a tropical location.
