Promising reviews: "I wore this dress to a friend's formal wedding and have received so many compliments both in person and via social media. I'm 5'5" without heels and wore a 3-inch heel. It was a little long, but nothing tailoring couldn't fix. I absolutely loved this dress!" —Allie B.

Price: $88 (available in sizes XXS–3X and three colors)

Promising reviews: "Overall, this dress is amazing! The quality of the fabric is excellent, along with the deep color. Def a steal for the price. Perfect for a wide range of events, from prom, formal, being a bridesmaid, and weddings. Would def recommend to anyone!!" —Sophia E.

"So adorable and whimsically elegant. I got many compliments. The colors are lovely and look just like the pictures. The fabric is weighty and good quality." —Alicia D.

Price: $71.20+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL and seven colors)

Promising reviews: "I've gotten so many compliments. Well made and works for every event." —Lyra Q.

"The material is so beautiful and feels great on the skin. Having a bigger bust, I struggle with tops like these, but this one is so comfortable, and I don't even need a bra with it! (The girlies are contained well). This two-piece is so my style that I couldn't resist buying." —Jagoda L.

Price: $82 (available in sizes XXS–XL and two patterns)

Promising reviews: "Love this dress! It was perfect for an April afternoon wedding! Received lots of compliments. The material was very soft, and the ruching made it very body-friendly. I typically wear XL, but found I was more comfortable in an XXL." —Roseanne B.

"Wore this to a Christmas party at a local casino. I was stopped MANY times by strangers complimenting this dress. I only wish I had more events to wear it to!" —Tia R.

Price: $55+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and 10 colors/patterns)

Promising reviews: "This dress fits so well and is so fun! Looks super cute on and I cannot wait to wear it to my friend's welcome party the night before her wedding!" —Elizabeth P.

"I was looking for a short dress for summer. The fit is perfect. I don't feel I need undergarments to hold me in. Very comfortable. Dressy enough for a wedding guest." —Crystal C.

Price: $49 (available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors/patterns)

Promising reviews: "Loved this dress. I'm 5'5" but love my heels, so it was the perfect length. Didn't have to keep adjusting or pulling up/down like other dresses. Danced all night in comfort. Material is thicker, which gave it a more elegant finish." —Stephanie K.

"Loved how this dress made me look and feel! It was super comfortable while still looking very elegant and classic. I feel like I could easily rewear this dress. It does run a little small — I'm typically a medium, but this one I had to size up to a large. It was long enough to be worn with a small heel, even at my height." —Marie H.

Price: $79.20+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and three colors)

Promising review: "This dress was perfect for the event I needed it for! It was comfortable and fit perfectly. Runs true to size! 10/10 recommend!" —Colby D.

Price: $89 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and eight colors)

Promising reviews: "I cannot wait to wear this to my sister-in-law's wedding. The padding in the bra is amazing, and the dress is so lightweight and comfortable. The adjustable straps and tie in back make the dress fit perfectly." —Jessica C.

"This is literally the most beautiful dress I own. It's the third one I got from Lulus, and I've always been so happy. I got so many compliments, and I felt like a princess wearing it. LOVE IT!" —Alexandra C.

Price: $138 (available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors)

Promising reviews: "I adore the fine-tuned details of this dress. All of the flowers make for a wonderful bouquet — right on your dress! Perfect attire for a summer wedding." —Gemma B. 

"This is a beautiful dress, and the embroidery is an amazing touch. It fit like a glove, which rarely happens for me. The straps and design also make it feel way more expensive than it really is. The seams could be better on the sides, but for $99 with coupon codes constantly, this is a steal." —Alexis P.

Promising reviews: "I was a little bit nervous about this dress because it is such a statement with the tulle. But it is honestly the perfect amount of chic, glamorous, and fun. I got compliments every few feet at the wedding, haha, of 'oh my gosh, your dress is fabulous.' I'm so happy with this purchase, and I will keep this dress forever!" —Janele L.

"This dress was perfection!! We had a black-tie wedding in Tuscany in July (HOT!) and needed something formal, but nothing I couldn't breathe in or that was too thick. This dress was amazing! It was breathable, the material was of fantastic quality, and I was getting compliments all night. I did have to slightly hem the bottom, but nothing I couldn't do myself. If you're on the fence, go with this dress!" —Cassie A.

Price: $99 (available in sizes XXS–3X and three colors)

Promising reviews: "Great fit on my pear-shaped body. Didn't think it would work, but it was not too snug at the hips. Adjustable straps and chest fit perfectly as well." —Taylor V.

"Adorable dress! I'm tall and curvy, and this fits amazingly! So adorable in person, too." —Cassidy L.

Promising reviews: "Comfy, chic, and cute. Paired it with white sneakers during the day and go-go boots and a leather jacket at night!" —Jillian F.

"Love, love, love this dress! It fits so comfortably, is breathable, and super cute. I've gotten lots of compliments on it so far. Highly recommend!!" —Valerie S.

Promising reviews: "I got SO many compliments on this dress!! I'm so excited for an excuse to wear it again! It photographs well, and the tulle isn't itchy at all!! I bought both an M and an S because typically I need an M for more structured dresses due to my rib cage, but this one stretches, so the S fits perfectly. I did get it shortened, though, to fit." —Mackenzie O.

"This dress is very simple, but the tulle makes it look very fancy, very comfortable; everyone was making compliments about the dress, and I was nominated as the best dressed at the gala. —Alejandra M.

Promising review: "I love the style and the fabric is so comfortable." —Hong N.

Price: $138 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)

Promising reviews: "This dress is one of my all-time favorites!! The dress color was gorgeous, maybe a little darker than in the pictures. It fit like a glove, no alterations needed. I'm 5'3," and the length was great with 4-inch heels. I can't wait to have a reason to wear it again." —Stephanie G.

"This dress was perfect for my cousin's wedding! The brown color was beautiful for an almost-fall wedding. I got lots of compliments and felt so comfortable in it, dancing the night away!" —Eunice G.

Price: $79.20+ (available in sizes XXS–3X and 10 colors)

Promising reviews: "Comfortable and high quality! Structured enough up top to not require a bra. Beautiful color." —Kyli M.

"This dress fits like a glove! Received so many compliments on this dress and felt amazing in it! I am five months postpartum with my third baby, and I feel so beautiful in it. Perfect LBD and for formal events! Only issue I had was it was so long, so I had to get it hemmed, but that's normal for me because I'm so short. (:" —Mary V.

Price: $89 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)

Promising reviews: "The material is light and flowy. I wore it all day to Medieval Times, and it did not disappoint my queen vibes. I got so many compliments, and I am excited to rewear this for another special event in the future since it's comfortable and elegant." —Natalia A.

"I absolutely love this dress! It was so much more beautiful in person. I'm tall and can't find dresses that are long enough for me very often. This dress was the perfect length, and I wore heels. The material is very soft and doesn't wrinkle easily. (I despise ironing!) The material is very giving. Bonus, no Spanx were needed! To say I'm obsessed with this dress is an understatement! Order it! You won't be disappointed." —Shana J.

Price: $79.20+ (available in sizes XXS—3X and four colors)

Price: $89 (available in sizes XS–XL and two colors)

Promising reviews: "This dress exceeded my expectations. The colors were vibrant and fun! I normally have issues with strapless items, but the dress stayed in place the whole night, even when there was some running and dancing going on. Might have to buy it in the other colors!" —Andie R.

"Feels sexy and of excellent material. It's stretchy, so that helped with it running a bit small. Can't wait to wear on a cruise vacation. Highly recommend!" —Lynda R.

Price: $44+ (available in sizes XXS–XL and five patterns)

Promising reviews: "This dress will be worn to an upcoming wedding. It is so beautiful, especially for the price! Can't wait to wear it. I will need to get it hemmed slightly so that I can wear comfortable shoes." —Keli P.

"Stunning in person, a million compliments, wore it for a spring floral aesthetic wedding, and it was spot on without looking like a part of the wedding. Fit perfectly with a long-line bustier bra. Comfortable but long for some, I'm guessing, but I'm 5'7" and wore 3-inch block heels and worked just right." —Danielle B.

Price: $138 (available in sizes XXS—XXL and four patterns)

Promising review: "Very flowy summer dress. Love the colors and silky material. It's not a form-fitting dress. This is a great beach vacay dress. If you are looking for sexy shape, this dress isn't it." —Amy V.

Promising reviews: "Great spring/summer dress. Love the buttons. Will wear it with a sweater when it's chilly out. Fits so nicely. Great Length, below knee but not too long."  —Janet M.

"This dress is super cute. It would work for a Sunday brunch or an afternoon event." —Liz

Price: $47.20 (originally $59; available in sizes XXS–XL and two patterns)
