Even our panelist who hates spaghetti-strap dresses liked the Reformation Astrid dress, but it wrinkled immediately. The Banana Republic Sweater Dress is well made, but the relaxed fit wasn’t as flattering as the fitted Universal Standard Rita Ribbed Sweater Dress With Pockets. Throw on a pair of flat sandals and a straw hat for the perfect beach outfit. A closet staple for sure, a shift dress is the perfect blank canvas.
The Equipment shirtdress was not designed for anyone who has ample curves. It runs a touch small, and the cut is slim, so our curvy panelists didn’t think it was flattering for their figures. It comes in sizes 2XS to 2XL , and the XL (12/14) was too tight in the hips for our tester who usually wears a size 12. But it was just the hips that felt too tight—the fit at the bust felt true to size, so we don’t advise sizing up, unless you like an oversized look. For a silk dress that may fit more-bottom-heavy body types better, opt for the Joie Leonore Silk Dress, from our notable competitors section.

While the popular online retailer is known for its trendy and chic clothing, its selection of dresses is no exception. So, to help you get your wardrobe ready I've rounded up some of my favorite dress styles from Revolve. Kaitlyn Wells is a senior staff writer who advocates for greater work flexibility by showing you how to work smarter remotely without losing yourself. She's never met a pet she didn’t like, although she can’t say the same thing about productivity apps. Her first picture book, A Family Looks Like Love, follows a pup who learns that love, rather than how you look, is what makes a family. One panelist loved the thick material of the French Connection Lula Long Sleeve Tulip Dress and how it hugged her curves, but our remaining panelists weren’t fans of the style.
Pink Revolve winter dress comes in 7 colorsIf you’re looking for a matching shrug set dress or this years hottest color trends Revolve will have it. I get so many compliments whenever I wear this blue knit dress and shrug as the color’s so different. The Black Label by Evan-Picone Sleeveless Fit & Flare Dress is a simple-looking business-casual dress that didn’t stand out compared with the better-quality J.Crew Résumé Dress.
Bright Green Plisse One Shoulder Draped Bodycon...
I wore it beneath a Brontosaurus in a classy museum with minimal accessories. But YOU could go barefoot for a sexy beach moment, or dress it up abroad with oversized, colorful accessories. It works equally as well in June as in October, and February, and…you get the idea. The genius of the curve-skimming garment lies in its versatility and the surprisingly reasonable price tag. Buy this dress for 76 bucks and you could style it any way you want to, for virtually any event. Unlike the viral Zara dress, I highly doubt you’ll see another wedding patron dressed the same.
We recommend trying it on in the store, if you can, or ordering a handful of sizes to find a perfect fit. The Résumé is of a higher quality than many of the other business-casual dresses we wore. We liked its strong, even stitching and reinforced waist, which doesn’t feel like it will stretch with wear. This dress also has a polyester lining, which we think will aid its longevity and prevent deodorant marks from showing through the fabric (as we’ve seen happen on dresses that don’t have linings). The Résumé is made of a wool-elastane blend that was soft and more comfortable than some other wool dresses we tried, such as the scratchier COS Knitted A-Line Merino Wool Dress. And the fabric has just the right amount of give, so it’ll still fit if you gain a few pounds.
Black Underwire Detail Draped Midi Dress
The Rita comes in a wider range of sizes than our other picks and most of our dismissals, too.1 This dress is sold in sizes 00 to 40, which Universal Standard calls 4XS to 4XL. Pay close attention when you order—by the company’s size chart, our size-2 tester is a 3XS, and our size-14 tester is a S. Most other dresses we tested come in just about a dozen sizes, usually ranging from 00 to 12 or 0 to 14. Best for budget Revolve dress brands tend to be Superdown and NBD.
Revolve dresses are all over this blog as it’s my go to online women’s fashion store for lots of reasons. I love their extensive choice whether it’s casual, work wear, cocktail party or Revolve wedding guest dresses. Seriously, you have to know what you’re looking for or you could get lost on there for days. They have styles for all budgets from super affordable to ones that hurt the credit card a lot more.
And the cuffed sleeves feature two buttons that allow the wearer to adjust the size to their wrist. The body of the dress is closed with 10 buttons that are securely attached, so you’re unlikely to lose one. A wrap dress is a type of women's dress that wraps around the body and fastens at the side or front. The wrap dress was invented in the early 20th century by French designer Coco Chanel, and it has remained a popular style of dress ever since.
They also noted how they’d wear each dress and which ones, if any, they’d purchase for themselves. I also had a panel of four people with different body types wear our dress contenders to help determine which styles have the best shot at becoming staple pieces in your closet. We all identify as women, and our typical dress sizes and heights are 2/S, 5 feet 9 inches; 8/M, 5 feet 3 inches; 12/L, 5 feet 10 inches; and 14/XL, 5 feet 7 inches. The A-line silhouette and midi length were flattering on our testers who wore sizes 2, 8, and 12. And the stretchy, gathered waist and flowy skirt make this dress forgiving for anyone who wants to hide their tummy. The design features exposed shoulders, which means that regular bra straps may show.
