Looking for the perfect dress to liven up your spring wardrobe? We have it right here! This versatile Anrabess Short-Sleeve Maxi is everything you'd want in a warm-weather get-up. Not only does it have a breezy design to keep you cool and comfy on future sweltering days, it also looks absurdly cute with a denim jacket. Oh yeah, and we can't forget about its fun little slit and pockets (yes, pockets!). Best of all? Amazon just marked it down to $20 in anticipation of warmer weather.

Trending writer Ellie Conley is a newly minted Julep convert. "I'm a big fan of the Laura Mercier Caviar Eyeshadow Sticks, but they're $33!" she says. "I recently ran out of my favorite shade and decided to save some cash and buy one of these Julep Eyeshadow Sticks from Amazon, and I love it. It glides on smoothly and the stick has a little buffing sponge on the other end to blend. Now, I'm buying a few more shades." Grab a few of these bestsellers while you can save up to 40%.

Why is it a good deal? 💰

To be honest, this maxi dress already feels like a steal at its regular price of $35. But at 43% off, well, it's downright irresistible! This brings the price down to just 20 bucks, making this the best deal we've ever seen for this dress. Just note that prices vary by size and color, but since it's available in 32 options, now's the time to snag a few so you'll always have one on hand.

Why do I need this? 🤔

When the temps start rising, having a light, airy dress to throw on is key when it comes to combatting sticky situations — literally! With this airy maxi dress, you'll be spared the embarrassment of sweating through your clothes, thanks to its flowy skirt and breathable slit. Plus, its roomy fit won't cling to your body, allowing for some much-welcome airflow. Hallelujah!

It can be difficult to find clothing that's equally as cute as it is comfy, but this beauty is up for the challenge. Many of its five-star reviewers commented on how lovely and flattering the loose draping on this dress is — and don't forget those coveted side pocket details! Choose from classic neutrals, bright hues, pretty florals and more.

In terms of versatility, the value of this maxi can't be overstated. Reviewers have worn it everywhere — from the beach, out to dinner and even to the office, making it a worthwhile investment piece. It would look just as fab paired with tennis shoes and a denim jacket as it would be worn with dressy sandals and jewelry. If you look up the phrase "wardrobe staple" in the dictionary, we're pretty sure you'll see a photo of this dress.

What reviewers say 💬

Legions of Amazon shoppers — over 6,800, that is — love the way this dress fits as well as its versatility.

Pros 👍

"The fabric is so soft and stretchy," wrote one satisfied reviewer. "The fabric isn’t super thin or see-through. It’s so soft and very flattering. I am a thicker girl with thighs and a butt. This dress falls perfectly around my curves. I got a lot of compliments...This dress is so cute."

"I got this dress to bring along on an upcoming beach vacation and I think it will be perfect," said another. "The fabric is nice. It's soft and a little stretchy and I don’t think it will wrinkle. It will be a good one to pack in a suitcase and easy to put on to go to the beach, shopping, dinner, sightseeing or whatever we decide to do."

"I bought these dresses in several different colors for work and I love them," raved another fan. "They have good coverage and are very flattering. I’ve also worn the black one on several date nights, so you can dress them up or down to match the vibe you’re going for! Would purchase again."

"I wore this at the beach, and loved how light and airy it was," said a happy shopper. "Easy on and off, but doesn’t look like a coverup, so I can also just walk around and shop and not look like I’m in my suit and coverup."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers on the more petite end (hello, fellow shorties!) note that this flowy frock may be a tad long on shorter frames: "It's a little long but works with the right shoes," wrote one five-star reviewer.

Another added, "If you are below 5-ft. 6-in. you will have to have it taken up...It's a little tighter than I would normally wear but that's okay. It definitely gives me a figure."

"I would love this dress, but at 5'3" it's too long on me," reported this final reviewer. "I think I'll need to return for something a bit shorter. For reference, I'm 155 lb and ordered an XL."

If you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get free shipping, of course. Not yet a member? No problem. You can sign up for your free 30-day trial here. (And by the way, those without Prime still get free shipping on orders of $35 or more.)
