We'll be blunt: If you buy only one dress this season, let it be the Grecerelle maxi at Amazon — it's $33 and some colors are even less. 

This ridiculously popular frock has amassed over 26,000 five-star ratings, and there's something for everyone. It comes in 26 different styles, from a bright sky blue and classic black to an array of fresh floral prints. Best of all, this is the kind of dress you can wear year-round — with sandals or boots.

And Amazon will give you free shipping too. But if you have Amazon Prime, you’ll get so much more — from access to new movies and TV shows, discounts at Whole Foods, exclusive sales and two-day shipping on many, many items. Not yet a member? No worries; you can sign up for a free 30-day trial here.

The Grecerelle maxi is one of those easy-breezy dresses you can just throw on for a low-key weekend look. Made of super-soft, comfy rayon and spandex, it features a V-neckline and (in a welcome touch) has pockets too. To give it a slightly sexy look, it has a low-cut back and side slits. You can style it with booties and a crossbody satchel or dress it up with heels or tall boots.

Comfortable

 “The fit was perfect — flowy, loose but fits perfectly," said one five-star reviewer. "I ordered three for lounging around the house, but they are way too nice for around the house. I do stay in the dress after I get home — so comfortable. The colors are rich and the dresses are soft. I love, love, love these dresses!!”

Size and fit

“I LOVE this dress!" gushed another big fan. "After seeing a blogger post about it on Instagram, I decided to give it a try! I’m 5’7” and135 pounds with a growing baby bump, and I LOVE how the small fits me! It’s a little shorter than other maxis that I own, but the slits on the sides make that not a big deal. I actually like that it shows off my shoes! The fabric is super comfy and stretchy so I plan to get a lot of wear out of this dress as the bump grows! I highly recommend ordering one!”

Great for petites

 “I got the extra-small because of my height and because everyone said the dress was flowy," said this diminutive shopper. "It fit perfectly! The bottom hovers the ground with sandals. If I had a smaller butt or chest it would probably drag a little. It’s not too clingy, but it did fall right over my curves, which I love because it doesn’t make my short self look ‘boxy.’ It’s thick enough so you cannot see your bra through it but thin enough to wear on a hot day.”

Overall

This shopper got herself a pleasant surprise: “Awesome dress! After giving birth to my daughter I have felt very self-conscious about my ‘mom body’. However, this dress is so comfortable and very flattering. I was scared that because it's a loose-fitting dress I would look like I was wearing a muumuu. I looked awesome and actually felt pretty again! Will be buying more in other colors!

  • Top U.S. general confirms Chinese hypersonic test

    Top U.S. military officer General Mark Milley provided the first official U.S. confirmation of what he called a quote 'very concerning' Chinese hypersonic weapons test that military experts say appears to show Beijing's pursuit of an Earth-orbiting system designed to evade American missile defenses. The Pentagon has been at pains to avoid direct confirmation of the Chinese test this summer, first reported by the Financial Times, even as President Joe Biden and other officials have expressed general concerns about Chinese hypersonic weapons development. Last week, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declined to comment directly on that report. (FROM OCTOBER 18) U.S. DEFENSE SECRETARY LLOYD AUSTIN: "Well, thanks for asking the question, but I am not going to comment on those specific reports." In an interview with Bloomberg, Milley explicitly confirmed a test and said that it was "very close" to a Sputnik moment -- referring Russia's launch of the first man-made satellite, which put Moscow ahead in the Cold War-era space race. Hypersonic weapons are difficult to defend against because they fly at lower altitudes than ballistic missiles but can achieve more than five times the speed of sound, robbing adversaries of reaction time and traditional defeat mechanisms. China's foreign ministry denied a weapons test. It said it had carried out a routine test in July, but added: "It was not a missile, it was a space vehicle." The United States and Russia have both tested hypersonic weapons.

  • Wall Street's earnings-fueled rally takes a pause

    Resurgent economic jitters knocked stocks off their stride Wednesday after days of gains fueled by a strong earnings season.The Dow fell 266 points on Wednesday. The S&P 500 lost 23. The Nasdaq barely finished with a gain. The economic worries emanated from the bond market where investors fear the Federal Reserve could move too quickly and choke off the nascent economic recovery. With stocks near record highs, fears of a slower economy was most unwelcomed, says Rebecca Felton, senior market strategist and portfolio manager at RiverFront Investment Group"I think that there is some worry building right in terms of slower growth and as everybody's keying in on the GDP number that I think is due out tomorrow, that to me would be one of the biggest worries that everyone has right now is the idea that we are going into a period of slower or decelerating growth."Economic worries aside, it was a busy day for BLUE CHIP earnings...McDonald's beat sales and profit forecasts as higher menu prices drove sales gains and offset higher labor and food costs.
