My mom always told me that when I find clothing that works for my body,buy it in every color. And now that I’ve tried on this wildlyflattering Amazon dress, I’m about to do just that.
As afashion and beauty expertand shopping writer who is frequently in front of the camera for work, I’m always on the hunt for something cute to wear. When I stumbled upon theZalalus Ruched Tie-Waist Dresson Amazon (which comes in 19 colors and is available in sizes S to XL), I scanned the hundreds of reviews and noticed that several shoppers had nothing but positive things to say about this $24 number.
“I love this dress,“one reviewer declared. “My favorite thing about it was my husband’s reaction when he saw me in it for the first time! He loved it and call[ed] it ‘the magic dress’ because of the way it fits. I feel really cute and confident whenever I wear it.“Another calledthe “extremely flattering” and “super comfortable” dress one of their “favorite purchases off Amazon.”
With that in mind, I didn’t hesitate to add thepretty coral pink optionto my cart, and it arrived in just two days (gotta love Amazon!).

This summer, I’m all about cheap and cheerful looks that I can easily reach for when I am running out the door. And living in Los Angeles, I’m blessed with great weather all year round, so casual summer dresses are a staple in my closet, not to mention the category that I love shopping for the most. As soon as I slipped this one on, I knew I’d be keeping it.

The fabric is stretchy, breathable, and lightweight, which checks all the boxes forthrow-on-and-go summer dressing. I could easily see myself tossing it in my beach bag as a swimsuit cover-up, as well as pairing it with sneakers or comfy flats for daytime errands. I could even add an elegant wedge (like mine fromLinea Paolo) or strappy sandals for a dressier vibe.
I should note that this style isn’t lined, so if you select a lighter shade like I did, a light layer of shapewear might be advisable. But if you pick a darker color, it’s probably not necessary — especially since the tie-waist detail is just as flattering as one would hope. This smart design trick adds interest to the waistline while brilliantly camouflaging a little post-brunch tummy.
The straps are wide enough to wear a regular bra underneath (hallelujah!), and the length hit me just right on my 5'5” frame. You can even top it off with a denim jacket for a more polished look from head to toe.
Needless to say, I’m already thinking about what other colors I should order, heeding my mother’s sage advice. Join me in addingthis tie-waist dress from Amazonto your cart and enjoy a comfy, stylish summer.
