Allow us to introduce you to this Dearcase dress we discovered at Amazon. It checks all of the essential fall fashion boxes (and more). On top of that, some colors ring in at just $14, down from $29.

Why is this a good deal? 💰

At just $14 (the price of a Chipotle bowl), this dress is a super affordable way to elevate your fall wardrobe this year — and for years to come. You're going to be reaching for this all the time. Psst: $14 is the lowest price it's been in months; prices vary from color to color.

Why do I need this? 🤔

The rayon/spandex blend is soft, stretchy and lightweight, making this an easy-breezy dress that's simple to style. We really love the fit as it's loose in the right places, allowing you to hide your tummy area if you want to, or add a belt for some definition. You can jazz it up by layering a third piece like a classic leather jacket and some chic accessories, or wear it solo while running errands. On particularly chilly days, pair it with fleece-lined tights to ensure you stay warm from head to toe.

It features an asymmetrical hemline to add interest and make it stand apart from the other simple dresses in your wardrobe. And the length is begging to be complemented with another fall staple, the knee-high boot.

Available in 19 styles, from rich shades like deep wine to festive prints like leopard, you're sure to find a look you'll love. Or get a few!

What reviewers say 💬

Nearly 17,000 shoppers have given the dress a perfect five-star review, which is, um, a lot.

Pros 👍

"I purchased this as a long shirt to wear with leggings at work," explained one Amazon fashionista. "This looks so wonderful and is very soft and stretchy."

"This was exactly what I wanted," shared a second reviewer. "It fit beautifully and comfortably. It’s stretchy and flows. I wore it all day and never had a problem or ever felt uncomfortable."

"It's great in the arms and shoulders," wrote this Amazon shopper. "It's true to size and skims the body but doesn't cling to the less flattering parts you may have."

A final five-star reviewer has even come back to buy more. "This is the most comfortable dress I've ever owned! I got it a year ago and just reordered another color (I'll probably get another one at some point)," said the fan. "I cannot emphasize how soft and comfy this dress is. It's perfect for cold weather layering when it's freezing outside, but the heat is on the inside. I love wearing it with heeled ankle boots and a long necklace or scarf — it looks great with my jean jacket!"

Cons 👎

While shoppers generally love the frock, this shopper (among others) found it was lacking in one important area. "This dress is amazing," they wrote in their five-star review. "The only thing I could think to make this better would be pockets." A handful of four-star reviewers also say the only reason they didn't give the dress a perfect rating is because of the lack of pockets. Totally fair — pockets are the best.

This customer noted that the material is on the thinner side: "The only downside is that the material is slightly see-through. I always wear an undershirt because I personally don't like other people to be able to see my bra lines."

If you want to add a bit of spice to your fall wardrobe, you can't go wrong with leopard — which is just as neutral as any solid color in our opinion.
