No piece of clothing can compete with the comfort and versatility of a maxi dress for summer — when the temperatures start to spike, swooshing into the room just feels right.

"Love. This. Dress!!" one shopping enthusiast wrote. "Fits perfectly through the arms and chest, and it's flattering on my mama belly and big behind without looking boxy...Super comfy and flowy!"

$30 $47 at Amazon

Prettygarden Maxi Dress

Compliments guaranteed. (Photo: Amazon)

Halter maxis have a way of making just about any pair of shoulders look elegant. This number from fan-favorite Prettygarden is lightweight and flowy — just the way we like it in the summer. Think: garden party, wedding or graduation celebration — it stuns at any outdoor occasion and it’s flattering on a variety of figures. If you’re not quite ready to go backless, a cardigan drapes nicely over the tiered skirt.

"The dress fits great, very flowy and flattering," wrote one content customer. "It hides the tummy well and still flatters curves."

$41 $47 at Amazon

YesNo Maxi Dress

Dress to look and feel your best. (Photo: Amazon)

"I wanted a basic loose fitting maxi dress that didn’t show cleavage, and that I could dress up a bit....and I didn’t want to spend a lot of money," a savvy shopper noted. "This fits the bill for me. I don’t want to show off my tummy and I don’t like my big arms. This is nice and loose...I’d totally wear it around the house or to the store with a pair of sandals just by itself. But you can dress it up in so many ways!"

$35 $40 at Amazon

Tongmingyun Plus Size Maxi Dress

“This dress fits well in all the right places and does not cling,” one rave reviewer shared. “Super comfortable and because it fits well, I feel good wearing this. I just paired it with some cute flats and a big chunky necklace and I was ready for a day out. I like it enough that I may just buy another!”

$32 $36 at Amazon

Huskary Summer Maxi Dress

For something easy to throw on that still makes you look put together, this t-shirt dress from Huskary may become your go-to summer style. With lounging taking priority this summer, the extra-roomy fit and side slit make this a no-frills uniform for the house or office. It’s loose in all the right places, has just a slight V-neck and, best of all, it has pockets!

“It is a joy to wear!” a happy shopper shared. “The dress obscures nearly everything below my chest as it hangs which is what I wanted. It is loose around the waist and hips and is not see-through. I only wear a slip so it flows loosely around my middle.”

$23 with on-page coupon $40 at Amazon

Calipessa Beach Maxi

This slip maxi from Calipessa is a summer superstar that will set you free when the temperatures start to rise. It takes the pressure off finding something fun to wear if you have somewhere to go, but you can just as easily wear it around the house without feeling overdressed.

“Like any neurotic 40-something woman reluctant to part with her cash, I spend an inordinate amount of time reading reviews and decided on this one,” wrote a satisfied customer. “I know I will feel cute in this even if I’m feeling a little fat (you know what I mean, ladies).”

$25 $40 at Amazon

Auselily Short Sleeve Casual Maxi Dress with Pockets

Wear this one all summer and through fall. (Photo: Amazon)

"This dress is so incredibly soft and comfortable but also slimming and flattering," wrote a satisfied customer. "I have a very large chest (40DDD) and dresses tend to hang off the girls like a circus tent, but NOT this dress. It’s an empire waist so it’s perfect for camouflaging the tummy while still fitting nicely up top."

$37 $53 at Amazon

Woosea Sleeveless Deep V Maxi

"This dress is very flattering to my curvy figure," wrote a rave reviewer. "It hugs in all the right places, and flows loosely to cover all those problem areas we middle-aged women so often have."

$36 $38 at Amazon

Halife Halter Maxi Dress

A roomy fit with a touch of class. (Photo: Amazon)

"This is the most perfect maxi dress I’ve ever worn," a pleased shopper shared. "Let me start by saying that I am pear-shaped — small bust, wide hips...I hate maxi dresses with pockets because the pocket placement is always directly on my widest part, therefore making me look wider. This dress does NOT have pockets, and lays just perfectly! It’s sexy, but not skin-tight. Flowy, but not baggy...It’s just perfect!"

$23 with on-page coupon $37 at Amazon

Milumia Button Up Floral Print Maxi Dress

"I've gotten SO many compliments wearing it at work today!" raved one reviewer. "It's a nice burning hot 86 degrees out so I decided to test it out for casual Friday, and I can't go anywhere in the office without people stopping me telling me how much they love it!"

$40 $46 at Amazon

Karalin Short Sleeve Plus Size Casual Maxi Dress

"I don't like things to cling or show rolls or dimples, and this did not disappoint (smooth and hides belly just right)," shared a satisfied shopper. "I think the older I get, I look for comfort and convenience, but this is also cute and flattering. Plus it has pockets."

$34 $42 at Amazon

MakeMeChic Short Sleeve Maxi with Pockets

"I admit that I bought this dress with low expectations but couldn't pass it up due to the inexpensive price," a savvy shopper wrote. "However, the dress was perfect for my needs, and I will gladly wear it again. The fabric is lightweight, which is great for hot, humid weather. The dress is flowy so it does not stick to your body. I also like the pockets — roomy enough for my phone."

$32 at Amazon

Grecerelle Summer Floral V Neck Maxi

"My thighs, stomach and arms are a little pudgy and I am very self-conscious about it," one reviewer shared. "I’ve bought other dresses in the past that didn’t work out, but this dress… THIS DRESS… Was AMAZING!! It fit my breast area perfectly[l], didn’t show my chubby tummy and was the perfect length! I got so many compliments on this dress. I am obsessed!"

$41 at Amazon

But the Coalition was denied the bragging rights that would flow from an unemployment rate beginning with “3” because of a Bureau of Statistics convention of quoting the rate to only one decimal place, which meant the rate was presented as “4.0%”, the same as the month before (when it was actually 4.04%).
