In our recent perusal of Target’s dress offerings, a particular style jumped out at us. With a simple, roomy silhouette, a hemline hitting just above the knee, and a breathable cotton construction, the sleeveless tank dress wasn’t quite as bold as its trendier brethren. However, something made us pause as we scrolled. Was it the frock’s the classic shape and throw-on-and-go fit? The minimal lines and versatile appearance? Or was it the $12 price tag and 375 reviews that awarded it a 4.5 star rating? Either way, our curiosity was piqued — and we bet yours is, too. Ahead, everything you need to know about the fan-favorite dress.

Versatile muscle tank dress at Target.

The pullover style comes in a midweight fabric comprised primarily of cotton, with the addition of polyester and spandex for a forgiving fit. It has a muscle tank-style silhouette, with a crew neckline and larger roomier armholes, giving it the ease of a T-shirt with the polish of a dress.

At $12, there’s a good chance you’ve spent more money on coffee this week than you would on this dress. “Slimming, flattering and just a classy comfortable dress for a cheap price,” wrote a reviewer named Lau . If you only wore the dress once, it would still be considered a steal — but given the frock’s infinite wearability, the cost-per-wear is practically $0. “There is so much you can do with this simple, flattering dress,” wrote reviewer Thowes , who bought it in 4 colors. Even better, added reviewer Rhiro , “Quality is great and doesn’t feel like a budget item.”

Another major perk of this dress is the endless styling potential. The streamlined silhouette and solid color scheme will lend itself to anything in your closet, allowing you to customize it for work, play, or anything in between. “Brought this on a vacation where it paired well with white sneakers or skinny belt/cute wedge sandals, and [jean] jacket,” commented Rhiro . “Packed well and didn’t wrinkle. Will be great for work paired with a dark jacket [and] wedges.” Bring your creativity! This simple frock is a blank canvas.

The frock appears to accommodate a variety of body types, with reviewers from across the size spectrum praising its fit. And, while Target’s plus sizes have a tendency to sell out quickly, you can still snag a size 1X in the stripe print or a 4X in a flattering teal hue. Multiple reviewers wore the dress during their pregnancies, too. (A number of customers stated that the style runs true to size, and those looking for a roomier fit should size up.)

In sum, if you’re looking for a dress you can wear year round, customize in seemingly endless ways, and will cost you less than a salad at Sweetgreen, you may have met your match with this affordable, reviewer-beloved frock.

Promising review: "What kind of wizardry is this??!! These pads got up old pet stains that several rounds with other chemicals and carpet cleaners left behind, including removing the leftover crop circles from the other attempts. Salvaged some cream-colored carpet that a professional cleaning company told me would need to be replaced. Salvaged a wool rug after a dogs blowout diarrhea episode, and not a trace remains. These pads are worth their weight in gold! I tell all my friends with pets or small kids about them!" EA

A pair of exfoliating mitts that buff away dead skin(12 of22)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "Ingrown hairs ALL gone. So, small disclaimer: I used this after a short, cool shower, not a long, hot bath, because of Texas summers. Therefore, I wasn't expecting miracles, and I was probably a bit conservative on how hard or long to scrub. My feet and upper arms are my trouble spots, so I focused mostly there. Both areas could use more attention with my next use, as I still feel small bumps and patches of drier skin. The next day, while getting dressed, I noticed that I now have NO ingrown hairs on my legs at all, which I didn't even think about this working for! I have always had a couple DOZEN ingrown hairs on my shins, since puberty, and have tried sooo many products that didn't work. I had resigned myself to being buried someday with them firmly entrenched. One cursory use of this mitt, and my legs don't look like mine!! Happy accident, and I'm convinced using this again on my feet and arms will produce the same magic!" Mynabyrd (credit:www.amazon.com)

Promising review: "I am lactose intolerant so I bought this Yonanas so I could have a frozen treat. The stuff you can make is incredible. The little cookbook has some good recipes but you can find more online. This is very easy to clean. There is a bit of a learning curve, so dont get discouraged the first few times you use it. I am still practicing but my friend made stuff that looks like you purchased it at an ice cream shop. I think its a good purchase. I would buy another as gift." Laney

A 36-pack of acne patches the draw out impurities from zits and promote faster healing(15 of22)
Open Image Modal
Promising review: "These are hands down the best pimple patches Ive ever used. Why? Because they actually work. IMO they work best on whiteheads, drawing out the pus and preventing me from picking. Once all the fluids are drained (yum!), I plop a patch on what was once home to a very angry whitehead and replace it twice a day (once in the morning and once at night). In my experience, that has been the best treatment for preventing really noticeable hyperpigmentation and acne scarring, which my skin is really prone to after breakouts." Melanie Aman , Buzzfeed

Promising review: "I was skeptical. Been using these for a few months now and Im impressed! You put it on a deep zit and it pulls it to the surface to expedite healing!" Emily A Schipfer

Promising review: "Since I had our first son almost three years ago, all my nails have never grown long. Until I tried this product. I put it on before I slept and in two weeks, I had long natural nails and I was SO surprised and happy that a product actually worked! Definitely recommended. I apply it by outlining my nail, rub it lightly, and let it dry off while I doze off to sleep. I try not to touch anything since I do have oil on my fingertips. The smell wasn't strong, and the bottle is like a small nail polish bottle so very convenient to travel with." Kimberly
