I must confess, I have a pretty good knack for sourcing some designer lookalikes on Amazon, like those Celine-esque Sojos sunglasses or that Lillusory striped caridgan that looks exactly like the J.Crew number Meghan Markle wore (and it also happens to be another piece with Celine undertones). So, you’d imagine my excitement when I stumbled across the most elegant Merokeety mini dress ($36) that has Chanel and Tuckernuck written all over it. Here’s everything you need to know about the classy number that’ll soon become your favorite spring and summer dress for every occasion.

With slightly more than 400 5-star customer ratings on Amazon, I’d consider this number a hidden gem. The form-fitting A-line silhouette is made from a blend of viscose, polyamide and polyester that customers claim feels comfortable, washes well and has a nice, weighty structure to it that’s ideal for those cooler spring days and evenings. As a minimalist myself, I’m a sucker for a classic black option because of how versatile it is. It’s a piece you can wear for date nights, work and special events, and its modest cut makes it appropriate for more somber occasions like funerals. But if you’re wanting to branch out from a neutral black, it also comes in 16 colorways and is available in sizes S to XL.

Amazon buyer Josefina C. was surprised to discover how high quality the dress is, noting how luxurious the knit material felt on. “Beautiful, the fit and cut of the dress is very flattering,” she says, going on to note that it’s a great length for petites, too.

“It looks a lot like Tuckernuck in style, so if that’s your vibe, this dress is for you,” adds another reviewer. In fact, it could pass as the doppelgänger of the tweed Tuckernuck Jackie dress that Senior Commerce Editor Stephanie Maida reviewed last fall. *Cue the influx of compliments and Jackie O. comparisons!* On top of being comfortable, the Amazon reviewer also finds it to run pretty true to size, and so do most buyers, though some do note that, because of its knit fabric and slim fit, it can be slightly snug for those in-between sizes. For that reason, I’d suggest referring to the size chart before purchasing for the best and most comfortable fit.

Honestly, the fact that this machine washable mini dress is $36 still has me in total disbelief. It’s such a great Amazon find that I have a feeling you’ll be reaching for time and time again for every occasion under the sun. My advice? Snag it in a few colors to really take full advantage of the Merokeety mini dress this season. Then, watch how it effortlessly transitions into every season after with a pair of boots and flats or tights and a coat.
