Presenting: The Dresses and Sandals With the Best Nordstrom Reviews
I'm an equal opportunist when it comes to retailers. Recently, I've done stories on my favorite finds from & Other Stories, the best celeb-approved sneakers on Amazon, and Meghan Markle's sold-out Topshop blouse. That said, however adventurous I get with my online shopping, I always revert to an old favorite: Nordstrom. Why? For starters, I find the reviews to be extremely helpful when deciding what to buy.
Since spring is upon us, I decided to round up my favorite dresses and sandals with stellar Nordstrom reviews. Just one of the dresses, for instance, has already racked up an impressive 2265 five-star reviews, while one pair of sandals has over 5000 five-star reviews. Shop these tried-and-true pieces below, and hear what customers have to say before you take the plunge.
Credentials: 85 five-star reviews
What reviewers are saying: "Obsessed with the fit, color, and fabric! Loved it so much I purchased it in another color. I always size up with reformation however this fit runs more true to size. Flows beautiful and has pockets!"
Credentials: 27 five-star reviews
What reviewers are saying: "Such a cute print! But the cut is really the star here. Sexy dress. Skims the body lightly. The straps of the dress are adjustable just like bra straps and I can still wear my black bra undetected under the straps which is a huge plus."
Credentials: Worn by Who What Wear editors and our favorite influencers
What editors are saying: "I'm obsessed with these strappy flat sandals, which are very on-trend yet super easy to wear. I'm 5'10" so I live in flats, and these are my favorites right now."
Credentials: 2265 five-star reviews
What reviewers are saying: "Love this dress. I bought it for a trip to Aruba and I love that it can be casual with sandals or dressed up with heels and earrings. I'm usually a size 8 or 10 (5'6, 145 lbs) and ordered a size medium. It hugs the curves nicely (without showing too much) and the bottom of the dress elongates my legs. It fits perfect."
Credentials: 95 five-star reviews
What reviewers are saying: "Quality and workmanship is durable. The sole is hard as you can see from the pictures, but I've walked all day in them and my feet were never sore. The ONLY con is if you were to run across some rain, your foot easily slides in the sandal, but I don't take points off because it really is just that great!"
Credentials: 526 five-star reviews
What reviewers are saying: "This dress is perfect for work! I love the material and weight. I still wear a slip underneath just in case. I am 5'7'' and would say it is the perfect length but anyone taller might find this to be too short for the office."

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
