Best Amazone dresses: 3 dresses on women
Amazon

Come this time of year, you'll be hard-pressed to find me—and my fellow PureWow editors—in anything other than a dress. From comfortable maxi dresses to a slew of styles approved by Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint, it’s simply the ideal warm-weather option. As the perfect summer staple, dresses can be breezy and light for fireside cookouts, sleek and elegant for all those wedding invites (hello, wedding guest dresses!) or even work-worthy. The best part? Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, which runs July 8 through July 11, you can snag them majorly discounted. (And thanks to Prime shipping, your beauties will arrive fast—most within just a couple of days.) 

While the site has so many styles (the mega-retailer boasts well over 50,000 of 'em that can be worn for weddings, casual daytime outings, evening events and more), I took on the challenge of hunting down the best Amazon dresses for any situation, all so you don't have to. Even better? Most of these dresses fall within the $40 to $80 price range, meaning you won't have to break the bank to get a great pickup.

How I Chose the Best Amazon Dresses

When choosing the best Amazon dresses, my colleagues, Associate Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera and freelancer writer Valeria Nome, and I considered aesthetics, practicality (is it wearable beyond a single occasion?), material and range of colors and sizes available. I also did some deep research into each item's reviews and ratings.

Best Amazon Summer Maxi Dress

1. Zesica Summer Sleeveless Maxi Dress

Zesica

Perfect for all occasions, this maxi dress is an eye-catching piece that highlights your curves while still remaining true to its bohemian free-flowing style. You can pair it with comfortable sneakers for casual events, flats/sandals for daytime outings or heels if you're looking for something more formal. The versatility is endless with this piece. Plus, there's 10 different colors to choose from.

Best Amazon Travel Dress

2. Anrabess Sundresses with Pockets

Anrabess

"I wore this dress all over Italy! It was fantastic!" writes one reviewer of this comfortable and flattering dress. The rayon-polyester-elastane fabric is medium weight, so it hangs nicely without being too hot, and the stretch fabric can be rolled without wrinkling into your carryon bag. Available in eight colors, I recommend getting multiples since it's nearly half off, and hand-washing as needed on vacay (also, reviewers say it machine-washes nicely).

Best Amazon Floral Summer Dress

3. Anrabess Boho Wrap Dress

Anrabess

Available in a slew of breezy floral patterns, this kimono-style maxi dress looks apropos for everything from a resort luncheon to a garden wedding. It's got lining to mid-thigh, so you're sure to be covered up without being too hot, and the wide three-quarter sleeves feel breezy on hot days. This dress consists of a polyester body and polyester-and-spandex lining, so it machine-washes—the only hassle with this dress is deciding which of the 35 colorways to go with.

Best Amazon Trending Style

4. Prettygarden Strapless Tube Dress

Zesica

This dress is the surprise hit of summer 2025—the style was popularized by a trendy athleisure brand and now, many brands are making it and everyone's wearing it. Why? It's obviously cool, wildly comfortable and, with its softly gathered skirt, really flattering. The top is 95 percent cotton and 5 percent elastane (it doesn't have a self-bra, so you might want to wear a strapless one); the skirt is 60 percent tencel and 40 percent cotton, so it has a nice lightweight movement. "Love the pockets!" writes one reviewer. "The material is soft and great quality, with nice stretch and a good fit." It comes in seven single and two-tone iterations.

Best Tunic Dress

5. Bela Fall Long Sleeve Tunic Dress

PrettyGarden

With more than 100 five-star reviews, this little dress gets raves for its comfort and great fit. Large-busted women sing its praises for fitting the girls, petites say it falls perfectly just above the knee and most everyone says to size down, since it runs big. It's all polyester, so it washes up well, but the long sleeves may be too hot for the hottest days of summer. However, it's great for every other season and can be layered over tights and a lightweight turtleneck with boots in the cold. Bonus—this tunic dress comes in 13 jewel tones and brights, and has pockets.

Best Smocked Sundress

6. Dokotoo Smocked Maxi Dress

Merokeety

"What a cute dress! Honestly I wouldn’t expect this quality cuteness from Amazon. The fit is perfect, slightly stretchy, nice quality, soft touch fabric, adjustable straps, skirt is double lined down to the last button and pockets!" writes one reviewer, who says it's also "great value for the money and functional for pretty much any occasion." I like how the smocked bust sits atop a tiny cutout in the back (perfect for cooling), the length (around 45 inches will be full-length on petites, ankle-length on most everyone else) and the polyester fabrication (no ironing).

Best Amazon Cocktail Dress

7. Zesica One-Shoulder Pleated Dress

SweatyRocks

In the past few years, the cold-shoulder top has become a new classic style. This stretchy viscose example is "one of those dresses you can easily dress up or down," according to one reviewer. "The fabric feels high-quality and has just the right amount of stretch, hugging in all the right places while still being comfortable to wear for hours," she writes. "I got so many compliments the first time I wore it. Paired with gold accessories and heels, it looked effortlessly glam." With no zippers or buttons, you just pull this dress up and you're off, comfortably—and did I mention, this has two side pockets?

Most Figure-Enhancing

8. Zesica A Line Swing Knit

Berydress

I’ve been pondering the idea of adding more variety to my little sundress collection, and this knit maxidress is convincing me to lean into it. It’s such a striking and refreshing option next to more revealing picks. It has vertical lines, which are always so flattering, and I’m such a fan of the A-line skirt because there’s nothing better than an airy fabric and roomy design that won’t cling to my tummy, especially when it’s hot.

Best Adjustable Straps Dress

9. ZESICA A Line Midi Dress

Zesica

With more than 172 rave five-star reviews, this 100 percent cotton dress is a keeper. "I saw this dress on someone and immediately knew I had to have it," writes one reviewer, who details the "flattering fit that hugs in all the right places without being too tight, versatile style that's perfect for the office, yet elegant enough for a dinner date and super comfortable fabric that feels great all day long." I like that the fitted top adds figure definition, but isn't too tight thanks to a back panel with some give.

Best Everyday Dress on Amazon

10. Btfbm Boho Halter Dress

Anrabess

I'm jumping on the "salty hippie" style trend early—that is, a boho chic vibe with beachy overtones. This casual halter dress exemplifies the look—it's loose, flowing and has an artisanal top panel that looks like your doula macraméd it in her spare time. The body is a breathable cotton blend with just enough polyester and polyamide to be no-iron, and there's a lining so no worries about being see-through. "I will be wearing this adorable and comfortable lined dress on my upcoming vacation," writes one five-star reviewer. (I'm with her!)

Best Swim Coverup

11. Anrabess Crochet Swim Cover Up

Anrabess

"Great quality on this cover-up. Took this on vaca and wore it all over the place, and felt very comfortable walking around the neighborhood with my suit under this," writes one of nearly 600 five-star Amazon buyers. This open-weave, all-acrylic number comes in 30 colorways (including fisherman aesthetic stripes!) and wears well, so you can just toss it in your beach bag, then wear it over your swimsuit and finally machine wash it, and it winds up looking fresh.

Best Exercise Dress

12. Gyiefcg 2-in-1 Athletic Dress

Gyiefcg

This is a great dress for hot summer days that are active or just about lounging. "I like it! I'm 5’2 and it fit my curves well. I bought it for warm days to run errands and be comfy and cute. Not too short and shorts didn’t show under skirt," writes one five-star reviewer. The double straps aren't too tight, and the built-in stretch shorts have a pocket that fits your phone and keys. I see this dress for hiking, long walks and wearing around the shore on vacation.

Best Amazon Coquette Dress

13. Cider Floral Spaghetti Strap

Cider

If I didn't know better, I'd swear this was a Tuckernuck dress, albeit at a fraction of the cost. The fitted bodice gives it a classic shape, the bosom design is a little something extra and the full skirt won't cling to you uncomfortably. While it can trap heat due to the nature of its polyester fabric, the short length, flare skirt and spaghetti strap top feel and look cool. And the 10 sweet country floral patterns are irresistable.

Best Amazon Ribbed Knit Dress

14. Btfbm Short Sleeve Ribbed Knit Dress

BTFBM

Knit dresses are a classic for a reason—namely, they have a real knack for showing off your figure—and this one is no exception. "I’m 5’2, 145 pounds and got the medium," writes one five-star reviewer. "It fits true to size and hits right at my ankles. The fabric is super stretchy and breathable which is perfect for summer especially when wearing a maxi. I’ve worn it to work with a pair of flats and to a cookout with sandals!" The polyester knit is lightweight enough for hot days, and the button-front dress is a classic style.

Best Ruffled Dress

15. Zesica Tiered Beach Long Sundress

Prettygarden

Meet your MVP for summer occasions. This dress, which comes in nine colors, is made of 55 percent cotton and 45 percent viscose, so it's the perfect not-too-casual, not-too-fancy and perfectly comfortable frock for graduations and daytime weddings. And the fit is so friendly—those layers of large ruffles look festive and don't feel clingy. (Also, they give a bit of movement so there's comfortable air flow.) Machine washable, this dress looks great accessorized to the hilt or worn with nothing but sandals.

Best Sexy Dress

16. Zesica Bodycon Floral Dress

Zesica

Hot weather and bodycon dresses don't always mix. There'll be no worry of that with this Zesica design, which is lightweight and stretchy. "The material is almost buttery soft, and it laid so pretty and was breathable," writes one reviewer, who wore it to a weddng. "There was no problem dancing the night away in this dress." Available in eight hot prints, I like this style for the way it balances va-va-voom slinkiness with summertime wearability.

Best Neckline

17. Prettygarden Cowl Neck Spaghetti Strap Dress

Prettygarden

"So comfy!" enthuses one reviwer. "The material is so nice and flowy—just the way I wanted it! It is not see-through, the color is bright and it's so cute." Multiple five star reviewers commented on how many compliments they got wearing this dress, which is a matte bias cut slip dress in polyamide and elastance that has a separate lining. The lining makes this event-appropriate (no worries about being transparent) as well as elevated. In six colors, I'm deciding between jewel tone blue or pale pink.

Best Draped Style

18. ZESICA Summer Mock Neck Dress

Zesica

Want compliments at your next event? Try this beautifully designed and draped number. "I wore this pink dress with the gold faux wrap detail to a wedding and felt absolutely gorgeous in it!" writes a five-star reviewer. "The material is lightweight and super stretchy, which made it really comfortable to wear all day and night." This dress's secret to being both comfortable and flattering is that the cap sleeves, the split faux wrap front and the draped waistline all soften the shape and while still being tailored. Available in 10 shades, this is the grown-up-lady dress to have waiting in your closet for easy, smart chic.

Best T-Shirt Dress

19. Blencot Cap Sleeve T-Shirt Mini

Blencot

BRB, I'm busy buying this high-quality, easy-wear T-shirt dress in multiple colors (it's available in 12 hues). A reinforced hem and neckline make it durable, and the polyester, viscose and elastane fabric blend is machine-washable. With a drop-waist ruffle hem and length that falls over the knee, this dress is going to look great with all my casual summer footwear, from sneakers to designer flip-flops.

Best Amazon Maxi Dress

20. Prettygarden One-Shoulder Maxi Dress

Prettygarden

"Beautiful dress! The material is so well made and very comfortable to wear," writes one of more than 100 five-star reviewers. "I received many compliments. I’m 134 lbs and 5’3 I got a small and fit perfectly. Very stretchy but it shows your curves." Available in sizes small to XX-large, this piece's curve-hugging stretch shape drew raves from wearers of all sizes, as well as praise for its comfort. Pro tip: a shaping garment to wear underneath is a worthwhile investment for this and other bodycon numbers. Oh, and did I mention that this comes in 10 colorways including a tasteful and sexy leopard print?

Best Trending Fabric

21. Grace Karin Eyelet Maxi Sundress

Grace Karin

I see the spring trend of eyelet staying strong throughout summer, and this dress is ideal low-stakes entry to the look. This short-sleeve cotton-poly-elastane dress has tiers of eyelet and solid fabric, as well as sweet fluttery eyelet cap sleeves. And no worries about being see-through—it's lined. No worries either about care—it's machine washable.

Best Casual Dress

22. Imily Bela T-Shirt Dress

Imily Bela

Reviewers are gushing over this easy-to-wear beauty. And with its lightweight material, range of 20 heathered colorways and interesting pintuck bodice detail, who could blame them? Despite being made of 79 percent polyester, buyers swear this dress has kept them cool thanks to its swing shape. I also love the fact that this one's low-maintenance when it comes to cleaning.

Best Boho Chic Dress

23. Btfbm Bohemian Floral Wrap Dress

Btfbm

Lightweight and breezy, this is a dress you’ll find yourself wearing on repeat all summer long. The tie at the waist can be adjusted with a tighter or looser fit, and it's fully lined, so you won't need to worry about any accidental flashings. And the range of 41 colorways mean you can find one (or more) that's your favorite flattering shade.

Best Swing Dress

24. Imily Bela Eyelet Lace Swing Dress

Imily Bela

"I love this dress! It is so comfy and covers all the problem areas with the free flow of the dress," writes a five-star reviewer. "The color is bright and the details are soooo good. I have worn this several times already and have washed it, and it has held up really well." The slash neckline is flattering, and the all-cotton fabrication—dress body and lining—is a plus for hot weather. And the eyelet fabric looks way more expensive than it is, like something from a fancy resort gift shop, not something you score for under $50 on Amazon. Available in nine sorbet shades, classic bright white is my favorite.

Best Maxi T-Shirt Dress

25. Merokeety Long T-Shirt Dress

Merokeety

The T-shirt dress gets a makeover in this polyester-viscose-elastane blend version that is designed to be loose and elegant without being shapeless. In 13 solid colors, this dress is an understated wardrobe staple to wear with white sneakers and a jean jacket running errands around town or paired with heels and statement jewelry for a night out. "I always get compliments when I wear it," writes one reviewer. "It is great to wear day or evening, casual or more formal, and would be a perfect versatile piece to take when traveling."

Best Smocked Maxi Dress

26. Prettygarden Flutter Sleeve Smocked Dress

Prettygarden

Be still my heart—this smocked bodice maxi dress is so cool, yet comfortable, I can't resist. "Very comfortable and looked great as a person who normally does not like dresses," writes one reviewer. Available in 19 prints ranging including bright summer iterations, I'm loving this burgundy hue to wear into fall.

Best Tube Dress on Amazon

27. Merokeety Floral Strapless Tube Dress

Merokeety

Interested in a great buy on a sexy summer dress? This little snack of a frock is giving Sabrina Carpenter in the best way, made in a comfortable polyester-elastane double mesh with a double hem and flattering ruched bodice. In a mini length and strapless, this look is going to be cool all summer long. "It hits right above my knees and stays in place without sliding down," reports one wearer. "The fabric is soft, lightweight and perfect for warm weather."

Best Flowy Dress

28. Btfbm Crew Neck Smocked Dress

Btfbm

Not only does this little getup have a darling small print, but it’s also got a smocked waist and bodice that will make it look like it was made for your body. It's stretchy (read: oh-so-comfy) but still has a shape, if its Amazon fans are to be believed, and it’s machine washable. Also—the keyhole back closure and smocked puff sleeves make this look like a designer piece.

Best Amazon Chffon Dress

29. Cupshe Chiffon Mini Dress

Sweaty Betty

Chiffon is tricky—it looks and often is delicate and can wrinkle if not treated right. This cool event dress is made of polyester chiffon that can be folded in a dry cleaner bag, packed and then worn to a desination wedding. The modest V neckline and mini length are universally flattering, and it comes in 21 colors. More than 450 five-star reviews rave about this frock, and I co-sign the love.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do You Find Cute Dresses on Amazon?

After shopping the retailer almost daily for years, I’ve come up with a few tricks for finding the best goods, especially when it comes to fashion. Here are a few of my best tips.

  • Check out Amazon's curated lists: Believe it or not, Amazon does a great job of creating its own curated lists, like its summer dress edit of premium brands, or this one that's full of tropical prints. While they can be tricky to track down, Amazon's official fashion section is always a great place to start.
  • Check out different Amazon storefronts: I also love sifting through Amazon's individual brand storefronts. Those looking for more elevated style will appreciate The Shop by Shopbop, for instance, while budget-friendly babes may be more inclined to peruse The Drop, which is one of several of Amazon's own in-house brands that offers up affordable fashion in spades.
  • Use Amazon's filters: When all else fails, it's never a bad idea to use the site's filters to suss out dresses that have 4-star ratings or above. I’m also a big fan of the best sellers section, which shows you the pieces customers are loving most—you might recognize that Meerokeety dress from the list above.

How Do You Return a Dress on Amazon?

Most Amazon dresses can be returned free of charge by going to your order history, printing the return label and shipping it out from your most convenient location. Some items may even be eligible for drop-off at your nearest Whole Foods or UPS, no shipping materials required. If you go for the Prime "try before you buy" route, you'll also have the option to send you dress back free of charge, so long as you return it within the seven-day trial period.
