Customer review: “I put this piece to the test: I wore this unconventionally as a biking outfit during my 7 week bike tour of the Pacific Coast. I was drawn to the functionality of not needing to wear a separate bra or shorts under. It kind of wears like a bib with a skirt; it’s a fun standalone outfit and looks great with different tops layered over. I wore this on the hottest days of my trip, every 4-5 days, and it held up well and spiced up my limited wardrobe!”

Here’s a dress that’s sleek in the front and party in the back, thanks to a partially pleated skirt. In need of a bit more coverage? This style comes with pocket-lined shorts.

Customer review: “Lawdddd, the other reviewers were NOT lying when they said this dress was good. It’s EVERYTHING. I initially tried on the traveler mini dress, which felt cheap and has zero support for your girls, then I saw this beautiful dress in a emerald green color. I wanted a versatile dress with built in shorts that I could both play tennis in and wear to casual outings. It was sooo incredibly flattering and supportive. The material feels so luxurious and soft. It hides all the belly lumps and bumps! My new favorite dress so please stock it in black!!! I NEED IT! For reference, I’m 190 lbs, 5’4”, pants size 8, 36DD bra size, and the large fit perfectly. I’m shaped like an inverted triangle (broad shoulders) and this balanced out my shape beautifully.”

Customer review: “I purchased this dress in Candy Orange, size S I’ve been wanting a dress but couldn’t decide which style and color and then this one came along. I love it so much, the criss-cross back, the little front zipper, so cute! I ordered size S, which is my usual Alo size, and it fits perfectly and covers my back side completely, which is hard for me to find. The material is so comfortable. I do wish there were pockets, but aside from that, no complaints. For reference I’m 5’4.5”, 130-135 lbs range, and 34B.”

From running errands to actually working out, this dress was designed as an easy-to-slip-on option for any task. Adjustable straps, a stretchy fabric that hugs the body in all the right places, and sizes that go up to 3XL ensure that you’ll get a perfect fit.

Customer review: “This active dress is so cute and comfortable that it’s now a piece I grab for any occasion. This is the dress that will get you tons of compliments. It’s really easy to dress up or down due to the cut, fabric, and hidden logo. So far, I’ve only worn it for casual daytime but plan to bring it with me on my upcoming trip to Switzerland as it is the perfect travel dress too.

PROS: The dress has built-in shorts that have the non-slip grip on them...no need to keep pulling down the shorts after walking or sitting! Game changer! I also really like the adjustable straps. I’ve had an exercise dress from a different brand and the versatility and fit don’t even come close to this dress’s. Plus, it washes very well (I recommend line drying).

CONS: There’s no bust padding in this dress. I’m also not a super busty person (34B) and the XS fits me perfectly. I think if you’re more busty it may be too tight. The price is also pretty steep, imo, but I do feel like you get your money’s worth out of it with how versatile + comfortable it is.”

A classic silhouette with a pop of color will certainly withstand the test of time. But don’t equate timeless with boring, especially in this case. Zoom in, and you’ll see that this pickleball dress is made from a textured, lace-inspired material that adds depth to the look.

Customer review: “I’m always a size 8 in skirts, tops, and leggings and a size 10 in bras. I bought this dress in a 10 but could have easily taken the size 8. I plan to shorten the straps a bit. I like that it doesn’t have built-in shorts. [It’s] much easier to use the restroom and get dressed [when I] wear a contrasting pair underneath. I’ve worn it to play tennis and plan to bring it as a casual dress to an upcoming trip to Maui. My husband loves it on me!”
