I'm always on the lookout for new summer dresses for those heatwave days (they're coming, surely!), and while I usually shop the high street's summer dresses, this year my attention has turned to Amazon. I know, I was shocked too, but a slew of influencers have been posting snaps wearing their best Amazon dress and now I've found myself shopping the online giants' fashion section too.
Amazon and its speedy delivery always hooks me in, and after a deep-dive of its dresses, I am a convert. As well as cheap or free delivery, and hassle-free returns, Amazon's cornered the market on affordable dresses that belie their thrifty price tag. Some look so expensive I thought they were designer.
- Amazon's cutest floral dress: Gorge Glitter Floral Corset Dress, £35.99 / $59.99
- Amazon's most flattering wrap dress: Grecerelle Summer Wrap Dress, £19.19 / $34.99

- Amazon's wedding guest dress: AMhomeley Halterneck Polka Dot Dress, £15.99 / $39.99
- Amazon's denim dress: Sansiwu Tie Front Denim Dress, £16.99 / $28.99
Amazon carries a diverse range of styles of dress too. There's casual dresses, smart office dresses, plenty of dresses that could be worn to summer events plus mini, maxi, and midi lengths, florals, polka dots, shirt dresses, slinky numbers - honestly, you could spend days shopping its selection and filling your closet with Amazon's best dresses.
The best way to find what you want is to either search in the toolbar using descriptive words, i.e denim dress or polka dot smart dress, or to look under 'best sellers' and search for dresses. There's literally hundreds of dresses, so you're bound to find one you love.
How I chose the best Amazon dresses

- Price: I chose Amazon dresses with a low price point, coming in under £35 / $50.
- Inclusivity: Where possible, I've chosen dresses that carry a wide range of sizes, from small to XXL.
- Shopper Reviews: Although I've not personally tried on all of the dresses featured, I've read Amazon shopper reviews to only show you those with the thumbs up from the majority of shoppers on fit, quality, style and value for money.
- Style: There's a lot of dresses on Amazon, and I've chosen dresses that of a classic style as well as more trend-led designs, with the focus being flattering and comfortable. There's casual fits and smarter looks too. Ultimately, they all look more expensive than they actually are.

This floral print chiffon a-line dress definitely looks way more expensive than it is, and shoppers praise it for fitting really well and looking super elegant. It features a popper at the bust, but some larger busted ladies noted that they needed to use a pin for extra security, so keep that in mind when ordering.”

How Are Amazon Product Star Ratings Calculated?
It’s more than a simple average of customer ratings - Amazon calculates this using machine-learned models, which take into account factors such as how recent the rating or review is and verified purchase status. (This is when Amazon has confirmed that the reviewer bought the item on Amazon and paid a price available to most Amazon shoppers) Amazon’s rating system continues to learn and improve over time, so you can be sure that the rating is up-to-date and accurate.
