Promising review: "This dress was made for me. Listen, guys, saying this dress is beautiful is such an understatement. Listen, it's the middle of the night and I'm feeling myself. Just wait till it's morning; the looks I'm serving all of you! Update: So I ended up buying three different colors of these dresses. I just loved them all. It's like the designer thought of me when they made these dresses! The material feels great on my body. The upper part is stretchy and fits very well." —Olive Bukuru

Promising review: "I love how bright the suit is — it makes me feel so tan! I also like the fit of the suit, it's high-waisted but not too tight. The backside is a little cheeky but not too much. I also love how the straps are adjustable. I feel confident and I love myself in the suit." —Cindy Lundeberg

Promising review: "I had a work trip in New Orleans and was looking for something cute, business casual, and cool enough to survive pregnancy while traversing through the swamp. I was slightly concerned about quality, but for the price, I was fine with risking it. Y'ALL. It is sooo much better than I could’ve even imagined. It's precious. The white is a little sheer, but not so bad that you need an undershirt. I did wear nude shapewear, but I always do. Super light fabric, plenty of stretch, and super flowy. I sized up to accommodate my 23-week baby belly and it was perfect. I got more compliments on this outfit than I’ve gotten on any in the past few years. If you're nervous about it, just get it. If you hate it, you can return it, but I PROMISE you won't." —Brooke

Promising review: "They are truly the most comfortable pair of sandals I have ever owned, no exaggeration. I wore them for an entire wedding, no complaints. Walked two miles in them on vacation, no complaints. Ran through a lightning storm in them, NO COMPLAINTS! I would run a marathon in these if I needed to. Ankle strap is comfortable and stretches enough to put my foot in but fits just right to hold the shoe on comfortably. The two foot straps don't stretch, but aren't too tight. These feel even better than name brand shoes! I LOVE THEM!!! BUY THEM!" —tyler fisher
Get them from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes 6–11 with wide options and five colors).

Promising review: "Comfortable and perfect fit…and what's this? Pockets! These are an interesting material. But they don't ride up, and are cool. The pockets actually are functional and things just don't fall right out. They fit me great and are just effortlessly cute and comfortable. Going to get another color." —Boymama13
Get them from Target for $20 (available in sizes XS–4X and in five colors).
Promising review: "10 stars. Absolute best dress I’ve purchased on Amazon! Amazing fit. Beautiful, perfect neutral. Hugs all my curves, not see-through, and super comfortable. Makes me feel like a goddess. I’m in love." —T.C.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 15 colors).
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Kayla Boyd raves: "I love a matching set because it takes most of the work out of putting an outfit together. And this one is such a great deal! I love how comfy and easy it is to wear. I was concerned about it being see-through, but it wasn't! It has a stretchy waist and a cute tie detail in the front of the skirt. For spring days, I just throw a denim jacket over it. And, of course, I plan to wear it all summer as well. I would 100% buy more colors in this — and there are so many to choose from!"
Get it from Amazon for $34.99 (available in sizes XL–5XL and 36 styles).

Promising review: "I love these skirts! I live partly in North Carolina and partly in Haiti, So i deal with very hot weather wherever I am and these skirts are perfect!

Promising review: "I have been wanting this same style dress from Free People but it was $118. I was leery about this considering it was much cheaper in cost but it is PERFECT! It fit absolutely perfectly. Great length too. Keep in mind you can't wear a bra with it and if you are larger-busted (I'm small, an A cup) then it may fit totally different. It's thin and lightweight but with skin-colored undies, I had no problem with lines or visibility. I'm considering buying it in another color." —Bullitt02797

Promising review: "This skirt is great, it's not too long not too short and the material feels kind of like a denim + spandex so it is stretchy and not so tight that it is uncomfortable. Be aware that it isn't a stiff denim so it's going to be pretty formfitting and so if you’re looking for a skirt that holds its own shape this skirt isn't the one. That being said, it's a great skirt!" —Brie S.

They are SO comfortable, and the slits on the sides make them breathable to be able to wear in the summer. I bought the white, and they are NOT see-through. Wearing flat sandals and the pants a little past my belly button; they fell right at my ankle. You can dress them up or down." —lnarthur
