Feels 'like pajamas': Amazon can barely keep this comfy T-shirt dress in stock ā€” get it for as low as $13

Now hear this: T-shirt dresses are the de facto uniform of summer 2023. Theyā€™re loose, theyā€™re comfy and theyā€™re easy to throw on and go, whether youā€™re heading to the store, a picnic in the park or just the living room. Weā€™re not the only ones who think so. When the Amazon Essentials Ballet-Back T-Shirt Dress was marked down last year, it immediately sold out ā€” in all 11 colors. Now, the dress is back in stock for up to as low as $13, and weā€™re not letting it slip through our fingers again. Neither should you.

The open neck shows just the right amount of skin ā€” and the super-soft material feels like a dream.

The popularity of the dress can be attributed to its composition. Itā€™s made of a blend of rayon and elastane, so it feels just like a pair of PJs. The soft, luxe jersey drapes beautifully and can easily be belted, tied at the hem or worn loose.

The magic is in the frockā€™s neckline. An open neck and a ballet back bring on the sex appeal ā€” perfect for showing off tattoos or a tan. But itā€™s not cut so low that itā€™ll reveal your bra.

Trims the tummy

ā€œI have a hard time finding a dress that makes me comfortable,ā€ one formerly frustrated shopper lamented. ā€œThis one is AMAZING!! After having two kids I have some left over ā€˜jelloā€™ in my stomach area, and this dress hides it nicely. It is not too snug and not so loose that it looks like my grandmaā€™s dress! I would recommend this dress to everyone.

Contours galore

ā€œSoooo soft and lightweight,ā€ another added. ā€œThis is a perfect summer dress. It is a bit on the thin side, so you need to take care when choosing undergarments. Itā€™s not see-through, however...Itā€™s flattering in all the right places and hides my stomach in the right spots after three kids.ā€

Versatile

Shoppers also love that they can toss it on to go anywhere and do anything. ā€œThe material is super comfortable and is lightweight and flattering,ā€ a reviewer shared. ā€œIt is a perfect dress to throw on with flip-flops for a run to the grocery store, but you could also wear it with strappy sandals for a date-night look. I bought it in three colors.ā€

ā€œThis dress is a great one to throw on for a quick trip to the store or for everyday wear,ā€ another added. ā€œMost comfortable and easy to wear!ā€

In short: If you want to look put-together without having to put effort into your look, this is the dress for you. This reviewer said it best: ā€œFelt like pajamas but looked great for work. Compliments all day.ā€
