No wardrobe is complete without a simple black dress that makes you feel reborn the second you slip it on. Like a second skin, it should make you feel confident and comfortable, and serve as a versatile staple for boundless styling possibles year-round. It’s no secret that Skims does body-hugging basics best, and we’ve spotted a rare Nordstrom deal on an ultra-flattering and supportive tank top maxi dress that shoppers say makes them “feel like a model.”

Kim Kardashian’s revolutionary shapewear line has become a one-stop shop for everyday fashion essentials, racking up hundreds of millions of views and try-on reviews on TikTok for its curve-sculpting, soft-stretch slip dresses. The Skims Body Tank Long Slip Dress is unique to other popular Skims dresses, as it features a built-in bodysuit that relieves the need for additional shapewear and provides compression that snatches the waist and lifts the bust.

The buttery-soft and lightweight fabric is designed with a 360 degree stretch, so it never feels restrictive, while a center back slit allows for long strides, whether you’re wearing comfy sneakers or towering heels. The scoop-neck dress is also seeing the same price drop at the brand’s home site, however Nordstrom has many more sizes in stock (from XXS to 2XL), along with a slew of other Skims deals worth adding to cart for spring.

It’s hard to think of an occasion this one-and-done dress can’t attend, as it can be layered and paired with practically anything in your capsule wardrobe. Think: Kitten heels and a blazer for the office, adidas walking shoes and a shoulder bag for weekend errands, or comfortable sandals and crossbody bag while away on vacay. In the brand’s true black “Onyx” colorway, it stands as one of those just-add-shoes kind of dresses — some reviewers say it doesn’t even require a bra.

“This is not my first Skims dress so I knew I would not be disappointed,” said one shopper. “I look and feel so hot! Since this dress has some support, you don’t even need a shape wear or bra underneath. Kimberly knows what she’s doing!” Another raved, “Honestly, I have never been confident with wearing tight clothing, and Skims has made me feel like a model! I feel so confident and sexy!”

Make sure you snag your size at Nordstrom ASAP, because the retailer’s Skims deals tend to sell out in a flash.
