I needed this for easy clothing after a surgery, and now I think it’s my favorite summer dress and that I need it in 3 more colors. I always get compliments when I wear it, even from strangers, but it’s so lightweight and comfortable that I don’t feel like I’m trying hard to dress nice.This dress runs true to size. I ordered a size medium and it fits perfectly! I am 5'7" 138lbs. Very comfy dress and I have received many compliments on it. Liked it so much I ordered one in Black as well.I absolutely love this dress, and plan to buy at least one more so that I have them in my wardrobe for a long time. My only issue is the length. I am 5'6", and find that it's a little too long to wear with flats. I could get it altered to be a little shorter, but I'm honestly afraid of trusting our local tailors, as they're not likely to have much experience with this kind of fabric. But, still, it's no big deal. I wear the dress with my Dansko sandals, which have a 1" heel. And since I live in the South, this dress will be comfortable year-round, so I can just wear it with my boots when sandals are no longer appropriate.I bought this dress in a large (5’4”, 159 lbs) & it is comfortable and looks great. Because I am short in the torso I prefer petite, but this fit perfectly in the bodice, covering my ample bosom and smoothly across the back. I will definitely buy another. It looked great with sandals and heels. Lightweight but not see-through. Drew compliments from passers by. Length was to my ankles, which did not impede walking. Very lovely.This smooth line sheath is the perfect accompaniment to any summer, hot weather occasion. Great as a beach cover up or dress it up for dinner. I wore it to a university graduation held on the first hot day (90+) of the year & felt comfortable all day. Columbia products are well made - just a little pricey if you pay full price.Because this is spf, it is that heavier, thick material seen in swimsuit cover-ups. That being said, the cut is so flattering that I would overlook the heaviness of the fabric for summer. If you are between sizes, size up. Will be returning the medium and going for a large. There is a seam that goes across the chest area. Picture shows, also a little narrow in the straps if that is an issue for you.Fit wellThis dress is beautiful, flattering even around my muffin middle, comfy, lightweight, quick dry and goes from dressy to casual so easily.I hope they expand the colors it is available in!The black is amazing!I bought this dress as an alternative maternity dress. It’s a nice quality but I think it runs large. I’m usually a size small and I bought a medium to fit over my belly but I should have stuck with the small and it’s very baggy fit even at 6month pregnant. It also very long. I am short 5”1 and currently 154LBS. I will have to get it hemmed.Overall true size fit but the top bra section stands out , in particular horizontal seam line , that does not look good.I got other colours in in this is the first time like that.Very nice print but rather clingy feel I dont feel cooler than in my linen flowy dress. Very long. I am 5/8 and too my ankles.I really love the dress but I didn’t receive the dress I ordered. I was sent the black one. I kept it because it is very comfortable, doesn’t wrinkle and looks great!Nice quality, nice fabric, and nice cut. Will be a good travel dress.
