Promising review: "This jumper is adorable and the one I ordered is perfect! I'm 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

Promising review: "I bought these for a trip to New Orleans, which involved lots and lots of walking in high humidity. I literally got compliments on them everywhere we went, and they were so comfortable I could wear them all day. We walked miles and miles and my feet didn't hurt (which is a small miracle given that I have arthritis). They're surprisingly durable and the woven fabric is incredibly soft. Even when my feet swelled due to the heat and humidity, they were still pretty darn comfy. I highly recommend these sandals and plan to buy a few more pairs this spring." —UrbanUtah

Promising review: "This is the most comfortable bralette in the world. I wear this everywhere. It's cute if you want to show it off under a flannel or cropped sweatshirt, or just a nice piece to wear under tank tops, etc. The material is UNBELIEVABLY soft. It feels like you aren't wearing a bra at all. I put this in the wash with all my clothes and let it hang to dry, and I’ve had no problems with shrinking or pilling at all." —Courtney S

Promising review: "This top is so cute and surprisingly great quality. It's not see-through at all so I can go braless, and it's very comfortable. The tie in the back is a little too long, like too much material, but that's the only small thing and I’ll play around with it I’m sure." —Sammy
Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and 36 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I bought this sheer top for a summer cover-up to wear over tank tops. When it's hot I wear tank tops, but don't like to go out grocery shopping or whatever like that. So I bought this to throw on over the tanks when I’ll be going somewhere. It's light, and cool, and pretty. The only thing was that the colors are a bit different in person. They’re not terribly different, just things like there are some red flowers which had looked more pink on my screen. Not a fan of red, but I’ll live with it. Otherwise it's what I expected." —Sandra
Get it from Amazon for $17.59+ (available in sizes S–5XL and 44 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "This dress is well-made and fits comfortably. The material has some stretch and is not see-through. It washes well in cold and then I hang dry and there was no shrinking. It looks cute with or without a Levi's jacket. It was comfortable to wear while shopping in NYC and nice enough to wear to a Broadway that night. I have worn it as a casual summer dress with sandals and then to a wedding with heels." —Joseph
Get it from Amazon for $37.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 30 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "Perfect dress for summer. Not too long, not too short, and the corset is really cute." —colby100
Get it from Urban Outfitters for $69 (available in sizes XS–XL and in light grey).
Promising review: "I got this top to wear under my tank tops in the summer. Regular bras are too uncomfortable and sports bras are too tight. I wanted something supportive but cute and this fits the bill! It fits true to size but is just slightly loose at the top which doesn't bother me at all. The straps don't dig in which is also a plus! In addition, the material is very soft and forgiving. I will definitely be purchasing another one next payday! I just wish they had more colors!" —justthemom
Get it from Amazon for $21.99 (available in sizes 1X–4X and six colors and patterns).
Promising review: "This was an amazing buy! I love the fit, style, and color. The fabric is soft and still stretchy. It doesn't wrinkle easily which I loved. Was the perfect Valentine's Day outfit piece." —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $33.99+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 36 colors).
Promising review: "I love this shirt. The fit is great, not too long or short, and the fold at the top sits where it should. The color is great. Material is soft and snags easily but it's fine for the price." —Vala
Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in sizes 4–14 and 14 colors).
Promising review: "I love it. Initially, it took me a bit out of my comfort zone, because I am not used to wearing such bold colors, but after a little while I love the colors on me and I am glad that I went with this one. It's super comfortable and super cute. I ordered my size (small) and the fit is perfect. I suggest ordering your typical size. No need to size up or down. I am looking forward to wearing it on the boardwalk or during summer nights out." —Journee
Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 29 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "This dress is beautiful, fresh, ideal to wear in the summer. It's perfect to wear with flip-flops or heels. The size is what I usually wear, and it fits perfect, neither very fitted to the body, not too wide, I can still wear a thin belt and it will look even better, I will definitely buy other dresses." —Mrs. Retamar
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in sizes 14–26 and 13 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I LOVE this top. I wear it more than any other top in my closet! It's so comfy, the material is so soft and thin, but not see-through. I love pairing it with a shacket and leggings, jeans, or biker shorts. All around the perfect top." —ashley s
Get it from Amazon for $19.99 (available in sizes S–L and 38 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I love this shirt and the pretty yellow that I chose. The shirt is so comfortable and washed and dried perfectly with no issues. I won't hesitate to purchase these shirts!" —JandT
Get it from Amazon for $17.49+ (available in sizes 14–28 and 35 colors and patterns).
Promising review: "I have three of these, all in different colors, and I’ve found them to be really versatile. My green one, which I wore the vast majority of the time I went to my pool (and I went to my pool virtually every single day this summer) is beginning to show wear, but honestly it held up for longer than I thought it would. My red one held up well (and is still in great shape) through casual swims, trekking through the Puerto Rico jungle, and kayaking. This suit feels like it helps keep me 'compressed' in a good way — not uncomfortably tight, but I feel like it looks good on my body. The only thing I will mention is that it's a cheeky cut, so if you have a bigger butt you may find yourself readjusting. Not a big deal if you’re sunbathing, but something to keep in mind if you’re more active in it. —Hannah

Promising review: "If I could leave more than five stars for this swimsuit, I WOULD!!!! I want to scream from the rooftops about how amazing the fit and feel of this beautiful set. I put this on and immediately felt like a million dollars. The top boasts padded cups and adjustable everything, making it fit well no matter your size. I generally have a hard time staying in bikini cups, and I was able to tighten the back AND sides of this suit for a perfect fit. Well-made, well-loved, and I will wear this suit to EVERY beach and pool party from now on!!" —Annie
Get it from Amazon for $36.98 (available in sizes M–3XL and three colors).
Promising review: "I ordered this for a concert I have coming up, and I love it! It is better quality than I thought, and it's very stretchy and comfortable fabric which is nice. It is oversized just as I wanted and very comfortable." —KM209
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and 20 colors, patterns, and styles).
Psst: some reviewers recommend sizing down, unless you're tall!
Promising review: "I never want to take them off! If you've been hesitant about whether or not to buy these, then this is your official sign to just do it!! I kept these in my 'saved for later' cart for nearly a year before finally deciding to take the leap, and oh my GOSH I am so glad I did! This is officially my favorite pair of overalls. They're so comfortable, and I most certainly will be ordering more in other colors. So, if you're looking to unleash your inner painter/gardener, then this is the perfect outfit for you." —Nathan R Ford
