3. A smocked midi dress with adorable large ruffle sleeves that people will compliment you on, whether you're wearing it to the beach, a dinner date, or a summer party.
Promising review: "So cute! The dress is exactly as pictured. Love the color. I was worried about the quality because it was so inexpensive, but it's actually really nice and not see-through at all! Such a perfect dress for vacation!" -JP0811
Get it from Amazon for $38.99 (available in sizes 0-12 and eight patterns/colors/styles).
4. A scoop-neck romper for a perfectly low-maintenance look that you can throw on when you have approximately five minutes to get ready. It offers full coverage up top, so you can wear whatever bra you please, and it has a comfortable drawstring waist so you can adjust it to your perfect fit.
Promising review: "Great romper! The material is so soft and airy, but not see-through. It fits perfectly and washes well (I hung it up to dry). It is loose on the top, so a cami or sports bra might look better underneath as it may show, and it is a good length on the bottom so that it doesn't look like booty shorts. I am purchasing another in a different color because it will become a staple of my wardrobe!" -Army Wife
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S-XL and 17 colors).
5. Or this summer romper that looks like two pieces (a tank top and shorts) but is actually one piece! That means you won't have to worry about your shirt getting untucked from your shorts! And the straps are wide enough to keep your bra straps hidden away.
Promising review: "This jumper is adorable and the one I ordered is perfect! The length is just long enough and not super conservative, but a flirty, fun length. The top fits great and nothing is bulging out. I'm ordering more!!" -kc

6. A simple sleeveless dress with generously thick straps that will cover your bra straps, saving you from having to wear one of those ridiculously uncomfortable strapless bras. This is a great dress to pack for any upcoming trips: it's super light, won't wrinkle easily, and it's super versatile.
Promising review: "I'm 5'6", and usually wear XS. This XS dress fits perfectly - perfect length and size. The material is breathable and comfortable, but not see-through at all. I love the fun print, a nice summery print. This is my best fashion purchase on Amazon this summer." -chrishanxoxo
Get it from Amazon for $29.90 (available in sizes XS-XXL and eight colors)
7. A wrap dress available in so many cute boho prints, you'll have a hard time picking just one (it's okay, buy a few, we won't tell!) You'll be counting down the days until this beauty arrives at your front door so you can throw it on and strut your stuff while looking like a million bucks.
Promising review: "I don't normally write reviews for clothes off of Amazon, but good lordy I am so in love with this dress, I just HAVE to!! I am IN LOVE and am wishing it was warmer weather so I could wear it out and about! First, it is a true wrap dress in that you feed one side through the other, therefore you can adjust how tight or loose it is. Modest? Show some cleavage? Up to you! 😍 Second, it is the PERFECT length for me. Lastly, normally a short ruffle sleeve doesn't fall right on me and makes me look like a football player... these fall immaculately fluttery on me." -Jess
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes XS-2XL and 32 styles).

Promising review: "I really like this top. it's true to size and is long enough to tuck in . The style is versatile, and it looks great with pants, capris, or jeans. I think I will get a lot of wear out of this top. The fuchsia color is perfect! -Samantha G"

Promising review: "I liked this dress so much I bought it in a second color. To be honest, it's probably not my last one. I'm definitely thinking about ordering a few more. This dress is so easy to throw on and dress up or down, depending on how you style it. I love the loose, comfy fit. It's already got a slightly oversized feel to it, so don't worry about sizing up.
