The iconic all-American brand has long been a staple for basics like sweats and hoodies, but its dresses have become increasingly popular over the last couple years.
Once you get to the main dress page, search by category like swing, waist-defined, and shift, or browse through the dedicated women's plus section. If you can't wait for your package to arrive in the mail, simply place your order and pick it up in-store or curbside in two hours or less.

You don't need a plane ticket when Anthropologie's playful dresses take you to your happy place.
Our favorites: Elyse Bias Slip Dress—$120 and Lynda Maxi Dress—$158
Sizes: XXS-XL, 00-26
Prices: 👗👗👗👗
Return/Exchange Policies: 60 days
Here at Reviewed, we love Anthropologie for its eclectic designs that have a bohemian, festival-chic feel both visually and physically. While the retailer is a go-to destination for boho-chic home goods, its clothing—and specifically its whimsical dresses—are equally magazine-worthy.
On the dresses landing page, browse the lefthand side for anything from plus size-dresses to little white dresses, then filter by sleeve length, color, dress length, and more. The "Complete the Look" tab on each product page is a helpful way to envision how you can create an entire outfit out of your dress.
There are also plenty of dresses for weddings. If you're a guest, search by the type of wedding, like beach or black tie. If you're the bride or a bridesmaid, head to BHLDN, which is Anthropologie's sister site devoted to all things wedding gowns, bridesmaid dresses, and every bridal accessory you can think of.
Because Anthro is on the pricier side, you may want to sign up for AnthroPerks, a free loyalty program that grants you free shipping on orders above $50, members-only discounts, first dibs on new arrivals, and a special surprise on your birthday.

Target almost never fails to disappoint with its virtually limitless supply of everyday essentials and affordable fashion finds. And its dress selection? Ideal for when you're looking to add basic staples and matches-with-everything hues to your wardrobe without blowing your budget.
The mega retailer holds your hand in facilitating the dress shopping experience: Select by color, size, type (think empire waist or tunic), neckline, pattern, and more. While Target does have a sizable inventory of plus-size garments, you'll have to go to a separate section, which is equally easy to navigate—and easy on the eyes and wallet. The unedited photos of everyday customers wearing their clothing are especially helpful when shopping for dresses at Target so you can envision how they'll look on your own body.
Through Shipt, you can opt for same-day delivery or curbside pickup using the Target app. These convenient shipping options are useful if you want the immediacy of shopping in a brick-and-mortar store without feeling overwhelmed by endless aisles and crowds.

If you want to shop the newest trends, Macy's has its Dress Refresh section, featuring an eye-catching montage of what's hot right now with helpful styling tips. Shopping for plus-size dresses is also a cinch at Macy's, where you'll find sporty to sophisticated styles.
What's great about Macy's is that it offers "it" brands that teeter on the affordable side—like Calvin Klein, Kensie, and Tommy Hilfiger—so you can feel confident in your dress without spending hundreds or thousands.

Where would our wardrobes—nay, our lives—be without Amazon? The retail giant may normally be the place you hit up for toilet paper or groceries, but its style selection is nothing to sneeze at either. The dresses landing page is broken down into three helpful sections: categories (like casual and cocktail), featured deals (which are discounts on new products), and lightning deals (which expire in two to six hours to inspire you to act fast). When shopping for your dress, be sure to scope out the reviews, which get particularly helpful—and heated—on Amazon.

Farfetch is one of the internet's top destinations for brands that frequent the runways of Paris, New York, and Milan Fashion Week. You can narrow down your search by category (like sundresses), designer (like Chanel, Versace or Yves Saint Laurent), and even request 90-minute or same-day shipping in certain locations. The dresses range from bedazzled and out-there to pared-down and polished. If you have a certain style in mind, you can also sort by "Shop By" on the top left, and go for the likes of edgy or minimalist. Keep in mind that many of the pieces feature European sizing—if it's throwing you off, head to the size guide on the product page, and it'll convert it to U.S. sizing.
Don't let the pricey haute couture labels deter you—driving a considerable amount of traffic to Farfetch is its Pre-Owned section, offering authenticated pre-loved designer goods for a fraction of the retail price. Most notably, Farfetch encourages you to shop vintage which it says can reduce your carbon, water, and waste footprint. The retailer even developed a handy calculator to help you visualize just how much you're able to reduce your impact with each pre-owned purchase.
