I’ve been a fan of Good American since I first tried their jeans a couple of years ago. Their message about inclusivity and body positivity is refreshing, and they back that up with sizing from 00-24 (along with pictures of all shapes and sizes of models) in every pair of jeans they sell. I’ll admit I was skeptical when I tried their skinny bermuda shorts, but ended up loving the fit just as much as their jeans. So when I heard they had made dresses, I hoped they’d be just as good. (Spoiler alert: they were.) Here were my favorites:
The Scoop Back Midi Dress
Sooooo comfortable! This fabric is super-soft and stretches to fit curves. There are actually two layers of fabric, so it smooths over cellulite and has more coverage than a typical bodycon dress. The straps are adjustable (yay!), and the side slit is sexy without being overly revealing. I tried the size 1/small as their jeans tend to run about one size big and it fit great. I can’t say enough about this dress. LOVE.

The Ribbed Midi Dress
This one is AWESOME. If you’re looking for a dress that shapes you like shapewear (but is still comfortable), this is it. It’s made of compression fabric that’s double-layered so it smooths EVERYTHING and there’s no worrying about cellulite (even more than the scoop back midi). YES! I love how the neckline balances out wider hips. This one ran a bit smaller than the other two due to the fabric (you can see it kind of smooshes my boobs a bit too much). I was wearing a size 1/small in these pics and since it was too small the 2/medium is currently on its way to me.
The 90s Dress
This one is crazy comfortable and soft — like the material of the scoop back midi. It’s also double-lined to smooth your skin, and I love the asymmetrical neckline and thin straps. I’m wearing a size 1 here, and I think it fits perfectly. I’d wear this with an oversized denim jacket or my new favorite: a kimono!
*A note about the sandals I’m wearing in the pics: This style was my favorite years ago and I wore them down to the nail (and then some). I was so excited to see another version of them . . .they’re the next best thing to wearing nothing, they make your legs look long and they give you just a bit of height without being super-uncomfortable. They literally go with everything.

XOXO,
Scotti
I love the new concept of being able to change models. But why don’t they change them to different heights? Often, especially for length, I want to see what it looks like somebody who is 5’3”. Especially when they don’t come in petite.
Scotti, you are smokin’, girl. Wow. Thanks for finding and highlighting these — I love the idea of the smoothing fabric in there — that’s genius! And the different lengths and necklines are awesome too. I’m in!
