'Looks good on everyone': This comfy maxi dress is down to $27 for a short time

Sweltering summer days will be here before you know it. Are you on the lookout for a dress that can handle hot outdoor temperatures and chilly air-conditioned spaces? Enter: The Viishow Maxi Dress. This lightweight maxi is comfortable and ultra-flattering, making it a fantastic choice for any summer occasion. With over 42,000 five-star reviews, it's a winner among Amazon shoppers. Plus, it comes in tons of colors and prints. And the best part? It's on sale for as low as $27, but act fast.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

This dress is nearly 30% off with the blink-and-you'll-miss-it Lightning Deal, but the discount isn't the only reason it's a steal. It's just right for multiple occasions and seasons, so your money goes even further. The price may vary based on color, but there are a ton of styles under $30.

Why do I need this? 🤔

A maxi is a great choice when you're looking for an easy, effortless outfit that combines comfort and style. The Viishow Maxi Dress is incredibly soft, to the point that several shoppers say it feels like wearing pajamas. The fabric is a mix of rayon and spandex, so it stretches and moves with you.

The round neckline and short sleeves are modest but not overly so, so you can wear this dress on its own or layer it under a denim jacket on chillier nights. And there are pockets — never expected in a dress, but always appreciated — so you can stash a few small essentials while you run errands or slip your phone into one instead of digging around in your purse.

What reviewers say 💬

More than 42,000 Amazon shoppers rave about this dress and give it a five-star rating. A lot of them say the comfort factor is off the charts.

Pros 👍

"The most universal and comfortable dress out there," said a stylish shopper. "Super soft. Love the pockets. Can go anywhere or just stay at home with it. I now own three of these. Hangs perfectly on a hanger without sagging or altering the form of the dress. ... Beach-friendly, also good for nights out (you can 'dress it up,' no pun intended) or just wear it doing errands. Sports bras don't show with this material. It doesn't easily collect dust or pill. I've gotten lots of compliments from both men and women."

"I bought another color and loved it so much I ordered [a second]," said a repeat buyer. "The empire waist looks good on everyone, and it's not too low cut. The material is like your softest T-shirt, but thick enough to not show everything. And it's quite long, which is hard to find for tall people."

"I cannot say enough about how cute and cozy these dresses are! They wash and wear perfectly with little to no change in the look of material/fabric," proclaimed this practical reviewer. "This dress is the perfect weight for spring, summer, or fall. The material is buttery soft and perfect for work or out to dinner."

Cons 👎

Some shoppers say they love the dress, but that it's a tad too long. It measures between 51.4 and 56.1 inches from shoulder to hem, depending on the size.

"The dress was an excellent fit. It's true to size. Very comfortable dress. It's just a little long, but I'm short," said this shopper. (Of course, you can get it hemmed — or perhaps pair it with some cute high-heeled sandals.)

"This dress was very comfortable and soft," said a final fan. "I'm 5-foot-6, and this dress actually dragged on the floor, so I did have to pick it up to walk, which I was trying to avoid. I have never been one to wear dresses, so I opted to buy one that was a little bit longer for my son's graduation, and it was just too long for me."
