Wrap Dress in Rich Royal Green
I recently picked up this Wrap V-Neck Midi Dress in a stunning dark green shade. This dress is made of 88% polyester and 12% elastane, giving it a slinky, stretchy feel similar to athletic material. The wrap top of the dress is particularly flattering, offering a slimming effect that I absolutely love.
The dress features a larger band around the waist, which adds to its overall elegant appearance. While it’s not the most forgiving dress, it looks incredibly pretty once on. I adore the arm length and the flowy drape of the fabric. Although it arrived a bit wrinkled, a quick steam will make it perfect for travel.
For those who prefer a little more structure, wearing a body shaper underneath can help. The dress has no slits and is not see-through, making it an easy wear. I picked it up in a medium, and it fits well, though I might prefer it for fall and winter with an additional layer. If you’re in need of a dressier option, this one is a fantastic choice.
Elevated T-Shirt Dress in Chic Wine Hue
Next on my list is the ANRABESS Short Sleeve Crewneck T Shirt Maxi Dress in a beautiful wine color. Initially, I thought it would be a simple casual dress, perfect with some slides and big hoops. However, it turned out to be much more than that.
This dress is made mostly of polyester, with a mix of rayon and elastane, giving it a cotton-like feel. It’s not super see-through, and the fabric thickness is just right. What sets this dress apart are the extra details, like the tie at the waist and the high slits on both sides, adding a unique twist to the classic t-shirt dress.
The tie can be adjusted to fit your preference, either loose or snug, providing some flexibility in how it looks. I love the sleeve length and the simple neckline. I picked it up in a large, and the length is just right. This dress is both casual and comfy, yet chic enough to stand out on its own.
Shirred Midi Dress in Vibrant Blue
Last but not least, I got this Bbonlinedress Floral Summer Smocked Midi Square Neck Dress in a vibrant blue color. The dress features shirring on the entire bodice, both front and back, ensuring a great fit. I picked it up in a medium, and it fits beautifully.
The dress can be worn both on and off the shoulder, offering versatility. I love the fluttery sleeves that provide some upper arm coverage. While the dress has no pockets, slits, or lining, a slip might be necessary for the bottom half. The midi length is perfect for my height of 5’8″.
Overall, this dress is a fantastic summer option. It’s comfortable and feels great on the skin. If you’re looking for more variety, this dress reminds me of several I recently picked up from Shein. It’s always fun to explore different colors, patterns, and styles at an affordable price.
Puff Sleeve Floral Midi Dress
This stunning Puff Sleeve Floral Midi Dress screams summer vibes with its vibrant peaches, oranges, and magenta hues, accented by a touch of white. Made from 100% polyester, it has a luxurious feel, featuring a sheer overlay atop a fully lined interior, ensuring you don’t need any additional layers.
The puff sleeves offer a different look compared to the typical fluttery sleeves, and the shirring along the front and back ensures a perfect fit. This dress is incredibly forgiving and flowy, with a fantastic drape that makes it a high-quality summer choice. It can be worn conservatively with the shoulders up or styled off-the-shoulder for a more relaxed look.
The straight cut along the front adds to its elegant appeal. Whether you’re attending a summer garden party or a casual day out, this dress is a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Pair it with some cute sandals or wedges, and you’re good to go!
Chic Black Dresses for Summer
Elegant Black Dress with Floral Applique
The first black dress I picked up is this chic number with a lovely floral applique. This dress features a sheer overlay over an underlayment, giving it an elegant and unique look. The top is more fitted with less stretch, but the panel of shirring in the back ensures a good fit. It has puff sleeves, no buttons or zippers, and just slides on effortlessly.
Though it has no pockets or slits, the dress looks stunning off the shoulder, even if it’s not designed for that. I imagine this dress paired with black strappy sandals for a beach dinner out, making it versatile for any occasion. The lining ensures it’s not see-through, offering a classy and elevated look.
One Shoulder Puff Sleeve Dress
This next black dress is a one-shoulder puff sleeve wonder. The skirt part feels like cotton and is slightly see-through, so you might want to wear shorts underneath. The stretchy top provides a perfect fit, and the dress features pockets, which is always a plus!
The slit adds a bit of flair, making it perfect for concerts in the park or a stroll through a festival. Just throw on some slides or flip-flops, and you’re ready to go. This dress is both elevating and slimming, a beautiful find for any summer event.
Casual One Shoulder Tank Dress
For a more casual look, I picked up this one-shoulder tank dress. It doesn’t have any slits or pockets, but the bottom half feels like cotton, and the top is made of shirring material for a perfect fit. This dress is an easy-peasy summer option, offering a simple yet stylish look.
If you’re looking for a black dress without a slit, this is a great choice. It’s comfortable, easy to wear, and perfect for any casual summer outing.
Elevated T-Shirt Dress in Sleek Black
Last but not least, this Elevated T-Shirt Dress in sleek black truly surprised me. Made mostly of polyester, it feels like a comfy cotton T-shirt dress. The cut is stunning, resembling the traveler’s material from Chico’s, which I love for its wrinkle-free qualities.
The boat neck top adds a touch of elegance, and while it has no pockets or slits, the length is perfect. I sized up to an extra-large for a more relaxed fit, and it looks great. This dress offers a slimming effect without being fitted, making it a versatile addition to your wardrobe.
You can pair this dress with flip-flops for a casual day out or dress it up with heels for a night out. It’s a conservative yet sexy and feminine piece, perfect for any occasion.
