Very versatile
Since the ... black, it can go from casual day to dressy night with a change in accessories. I love how the bra is built into the dress...I've stayed away from halter top dresses in the past because I didn't want to deal with bra issues.

Awesome and sexy ...
Out of all the dresses I bought (all at one time) this one is my favorite! It fits great, very flattering and can be ... up or worn casual. It's the first one that I tried after some recent... enhancement surgery:) and it looked totally hot! Will definately buy more like it:)

Perfect
I bought this ... "Casual Little Black ... Bridal Shower. It's perfect! I'm usually pretty leery about shopping online b/c I'm 5'10 with a high waist and am not petite around the hips. This ... hides what I need to hide and flatters the rest. I plan on buying it in a print as well and wearing them both all spring and summer long.

This ... rocks!
I am between a size 4 and a size 6 and needed a 6 in this ... because I could not zipper through the ribcage in the size 4. Now that I have the 6, I am in heaven. This ... so versatile and comfortable. Wore it to a casual outdoor event in the sun and heat with flip flops and was super comfortable. The fabric is light, but does not show sweat/dirt. I would also wear it to a casual restaurant with 'dressier' flip flops. Love it and well worth the price.

Very Nice Casual ...
I am typically between a size 10 and 12. I ordered a 12 and think this fit well. The ... does expose a little cleavage as some of the others have noted. Overall, it is a nice ... casual occasions or going out to casual restaurants. I am in my early 40's and wouldn't wear to a more formal occasion. Overall, I think it is a good buy.

Great cut and design; tight in rib cage
Maybe it was because I ordered a petite vs. regular size, but I found this ... really tight around the rib cage right under the bust. I ordered a 4P and returned it for a 6P and they're practically the same, so if you're undecided I'd say go with the larger size. Fits fine in bust but really right around the ribs. It quickly flares out from sort of an empire waist so looks great around the midsection - flattering to the tummy and hips and hides a small muffintop well. The rest of it is great - super comfy material, great design, seems like it could be wet/dry and look just as good. Plan to use it as a travel ... beach/pool daytime wear or (for the black) casual nighttime wear. I'm a shade under 5'3" and the petite length was perfect - slightly above knee how I like. I recommend it over some of the swim and other dresses because it's a much lighter weight material and less binding throughout.

casual for hot days
Great colors - olive (cargo) and the purple (petunia pop) - and good quality thin cool lightweight synthetic material. The removable pads are very thin (but this ... would look much better on me if the pads - or my chest:) - were more substantial . . . it also would look more proportioned on me as the ... flares in an A line over my bottom). Normally, I am a 2P (sometimes a size 0) and ordered the XS Petite. Even though I'm up a few pounds right now, I wouldn't expect my tummy and upper hips to show as much as it does in this ... Also, after three babies, my lower rib cage prominence shows a bit in this ... empire waist band. If you don't mind a tendency for middle aged abdominal imperfections to show (I'm 52 and work out) or the tendency for these dresses to wrinkle, this ... worth a try if you need an easy casual sporty ... hot summer days. Many of the summer "athletic" ... styles available are not as classy as this one. But consider ordering a size up if you are trying to hide any bulges.

great ...
I love this ... because it comes in size zero!! I'm very petite, and usually I have a hard time finding dresses because everything is too big. This ... very flattering on my small frame. I originally got it in a pattern, and I liked it so much I went back and purchased it in solid black!! I think the black ... sophisticated enough that a young woman could wear the ... causal outdoor wedding if she ... up with the right jewelry and shoes. The material makes it look more dressy and less casual. The pocket, however, makes it casual. The pocket is the perfect size for holding an ID card, but the material is thin, so I think that putting an ID card in it would be noticable, but I have yet to try using the pocket. I think I might cut off the pocket's zipper pull thing to make the pocket less noticable, since I don't really plan on using the pocket. Aside from the pocket, the ... great!!! I'm really gald I purchased it. My only other complaint is that the length is knee length...mid knee cap, which is a strange length. (I'm 5' 2) I would perfer that it be 2 inches shorter or longer. The solid color ... has contrast stitching along the base, so getting it hemmed isn't an option, unless you have a good seamstress who can match the contrast stitching. Aside from ordering it in size 0 regular, I also ordered it in size petite 2, which was indeed 2-3 inches shorter (the perfect length!!) than size 0 regular, but the rest of the ... too big then. I wish altheta made size 0 petite, in addition to 0 regular. My logic is, if you are a size 0, you are probably petite and short, right???!!

Not for a tummy!
I like this ... overall. The material is a great quick dry material, although it does wrinkle and the wrinkles don't really "fall out" over time. I'm afraid to iron it. The top and boddess fit me beautifully and my very small (A/B) top has nursed 3 babies, so it needs a little help, and this ... gave it. I felt the middle part of the ... either too tight, or the material too thin because it looked sort of "sausagy" around the middle, if you know what I mean? I normally wear a solid size four in a ... (even in the waist). Finally, I do not see how anyone could call this a "going out" ... me, it is way too casual for that. To me, it is more like a cute way to finish out the day at the beach or pool when you haven't showered, but want to look nicer than a coverup.

Not for larger busted ladies
Loved the color and fabric for a light summer ... something other than a T shirt. Most of the ... fit great (on my 5'5" and 135 lbs. build). However, the front is low cut and can be quite revealing: despite looking like the upper portion was bigger than many comparable dresses in this style, this ... (size 6) just didn't have enough fabric or room in the chest. As a 32DD/34D I wasn't too surprised as this is a common challenge, but I'd want to wear this as a daytime ... casual evening wear, and the front was just too skimpy to be either.

for vacation
I bought this ... evening dinners on vacation in Mexico thinking it will pack well and wear well. I think it will be perfect. I followed the size guidelines given on th site and even though it meant I ordered a ... two sizes larger than I normally wear, it fits perfectly. I am a 36D and was very pleasantly surprised with the support in this ... not have to wear a bra with it (which I do with most dresses that contain a "bra"). Very pleased with my purchase.

I love this!
My friend ordered three dresses from athleta.com. I tried all of them on and they fit amazing, covering up all problem areas. Unfortunately, the dresses she ordered were no longer available. I ordered three totally different ones and they are all amazing. I have a size 8 or med in this ... am a 36C and the bust is pretty snug but still looks good.

Flattering!!
Very flattering cut. Sexy or casual. Had to go up a size. I prefer the ... little loose. Great for day with flip flops or a night out with heels. Love it!

sexy little sundress
This is such a cute ... ordered a few dresses from athleta and I am EXTREMELY happy! This ... makes you feel quite sexy and beautiful! The fabric makes it very versitle, but the cute makes it work for so many occations. I am 5'5'', 140lb, athletic build, small B cup and I ordered medium. It fits like it was made for me! The plum color that I orderd is very, very nice!

Fits Me Perfect/Love it!
I love the fact that I can have a nice looking ... work out material! So comfortable! I was so happy with it that I got the dark blue and purple. I got the tall for the longer length and love that this is a knee length ... which is flattering for my body type and hard to find. I am an 8 or 10 in dresses. I went with the 8 because I am smaller on top and it fits perfect.

Great fit on slim hourglass figure
This ... fit perfectly. I am 5'3" 115 pounds and bought a size 2. It is very form fitting so if you are shy, you may want to pass on this. I think it would be a great ... beach. I am slim but still have an hourglass figure. Some of the Atlheta dresses have excess material that bags in back from the shoulders to the hips (the kokomo ... did that). This ... did not do that, it fit slim though my torso. Very nice cut. I wish they had some lighter colors in this ... summer.

Love your dresses, swim suits, skirts....
I love that you are starting to make more of your dresses in petite. That is the only thing I sometimes am a little disappointed in, the lengths are a little longer on me than the way they appear on the models in your catalog. I am only 5'4" and I'm sure our models are taller. So thanks for the petites!

nice ... but should be tighter.
I really like this ... adore Athleta clothes, especially the dresses, but too many of the styles have empire waists and look like maternity clothes. I have worn maternity clothes for enough of my life (I have 7 kids) and I want dresses that are tight and sexy. This ... pretty close to that. It runs a little large. I found the XXS to still be a bit loose, esprcially in the waist. I am a size 2 (0 or 00 in GAP) and I could have worn an XXXS if it had existed. It did cling to the right places, though. The bottom of the drress could be a little less of an A line and I would not mind it a bit shorter (I am 5' 6") The purple color is darker than I expected, but beautiful. If there were more attractive colors in XXS, I would even order another.

really wanted to love this ...
I really wanted to fall in love with this ... but the fit was really disappointing. The hips are not flattering as it does not fall straight/flat on the hips as it seems to on the model in the catalog. I am typically a 2 in your dresses and this one still fits a little big in the hips.

wish it were more
I was so excited about this ... Btu when I got it I was very disappointed. I tried to like it but will be sending it back. The stitching on the bodice is a bit odd and makes it look like I am wearing it inside out. It doesn't look good and the material is a lot thicker than i thought it would be. It was soft and comfortable but did not flatter my body at all. I am 5'3 and 118 so halter dresses are usually my style, but I did not like the way that this made me look. Maybe it is a better fit for people who are a lot taller than me.

Bring back the bra cami dresses!
I've been looking everywhere (ebay, etc.) for the bra cami dresses you used to carry. Mine are wearing out, and have tried all your alternatives. None fit as well as the bra cami dresses -- I also miss the active lengths for us short "regular" sized girls. Bring them back please!!!

Love it!
I bought three different dresses to try hoping that at least one would fit--this is IT! I love it. It's casual enough to simply wear around in summer, but it is so simple and the neckline so interesting, you could glam it up a bit and wear it out for dinner too. Fit is great. Nice drape, not too clingy--very flattering. I am 5'4" and about 125 lbs and ordered the small in asphalt and could not be happier. Love the built in bra--quite substantial. Wish I had acted quickly enough to get this in another color...maybe next year. Thanks Athleta.

Perfect Summer ...
This ... amazing. First - I'm a larger cup size (D) and I do NOT have to wear a strapless with this, a first for me in terms of the "support" tops. I hugs perfectly - loose but not baggy. I love how the straps fit and tie in the back. I've worn this to work, to the park, and to a casual rehearsal dinner - and I've received a million compliments each time. I originally bought this in the slate, but it's so great, I purchased the beautiful sangria color too. It would be a great ... anyone with curves, particularly on top (but on the bottom too). I love both colors - the slate is a great neutral but the sangria is just a beautiful color. Cannot wait to pack both for my beach trips this summer!

Beautiful and eye catching!
I adore summer dresses that exhibit color, but it's hard to find color in a style that is flattering. I am 5'4" with 40" hips, 30" waist, small bust and bought the medium, hoping it would look alright but unsure. As soon as I tried it on I loved it! With or without a belt, the ... hangs beautifully on my frame. The built in bra helps add shape to my less voluptuous upper body and the wider skirt helps hid the drastic shape of my hips, thus making me look thinner and not fat like a lot of no waist or drop waist products tend to do. I am very excited to wear it to my trip to Germany for touring, picnicing, and casual beach play. I'm sure you could do more active things in the ... fabric has a very soft, modal/bathing suit feel but I bought it mainly for casual use.

I love this ...
I got this ... more casual activities however it can easily be ... up or down. It is just a matter of changing your jewelry and your shoes! I am 5' 6" 116 lbs and ordered a size X SM in the dark grey color.

another athleta homerun
how am I going to tell my husband there is another Athleta ... need?! Love the color (kaui blue), and material. The cut is really great- it looks "sack like" online, but actually shows a feminine shape all the way without being as tight as the shorebreak ... bra support is great too- I am a 34 B and want something that keeps me from looking saggy and this is awesome! The only thing I wish is that it was a few inches longer- I am only 5 ft 4" and this hits 3 inches above my knees. I am 120 lbs and got an xs. I would wear it everyday and for casual ... but not ... too formal because of the performance material. Go for it! (if you don't have 5 new Athleta dresses from this season). Ooops, that me.

Looks dressy ...classy too
My husband was wowed by this ... fits well and doesn't look as casual as some of the other 'swim' dresses. I like the plum color too.

Great ... date night. The cut seems a little dressy for going to the store, but you could wear it casual. I bought sangria which is beautiful but I sort of wish I got the black just because I will probably use it as a dressier occasion night out ...

Love the dress...but not enough support for me
I absolutely love the color, style, overall fit but my large 45 yr old breasts aren't "perky" anymore so the bra didn't support me at all. I almost cried when I mailed it back but if I have to wear a bra underneath it defeats the whole purpose. The only other thing was the length is a bit long for my tastes in a casual halter ... but I was willing to hem it if everything else worked out ok. I HIGHLY recommend this ... anyone who still has some "perk" up top. Great ...

Perfect Little Vacation ...
The perfect ... can be worn super casual or add some jewelery and cute sandals to ... up a bit. Packs well and stays wrinkle free.

Perfect swim cover up!
I've been searching forever for something cute that I could wear to the beach/pool and then walk into a store or a casual restaurant without feeling naked or under ... fit the bill! I bought it in black and purple, and absolutely love it.

Great Packable Summer ...
Nice versitile ... good for a coverup or simple summer wear. The material does make it seem a little more suited for casual wear, but it dries super fast which is nice. I am a little dissapointed with the built in support, due to the fit of the cupsize. I Normally wear a size 2 and ordered the ... xs.The chest fits a little loose, so I added a little additional padding to the cups and it fits fine. The neckline is very flattering, I took it on a recent trip to Mexico and was pleased with how well it packed. It was a little wrinkled when I took it out of the suitcase, but a little time on the hanger and it was totally wrinkle free!!

Cute & comfy ...
I'm always weary about ordering dresses without trying them on. however, I was VERY happy with this purchase. It is very figure flattering...the cut and material of the ... flows. the color red is really pretty and not orangey red. I really like the little secret pocket, enough to hold your ID & ATM card when you don't want to carry a purse. Please Athleta make more dresses that flatter our figures!!

great ...
This was one of four dresses on my first Athleta order. I love the fit and the fabric, it's casual and the racer back styling is great, shows off a fit body without being too revealing. I'll probably order another in black just because I love it so much! Wish it was about two inches shorter (I'm a curvy, well proportioned 5'7" and it hits just at my knee). I'll probably shorten it a few inches.

The new "go to" ...
I bought this ... Mill Valley at the Athleta store (they hemmed it for me in time to pick it up on the way to the airport). I brought it to wear to a wedding - I love how it works in so many settings - ... up. I'm about 5'3" and sometimes have trouble finding dresses that fit properly on top but this one is a winner.

Well designed but too long!
Please designers...stop making these dresses so long! I have to hem this ... get the look that I think it should have...about 3 inches off. The persian red is just the most gorgeous shade! I have to order SMALL in all Athleta dresses to get the fit I want. I am normally an 8 in most other dresses out there. I LOVE this design in the chest...it is GORGEOUS!!!

Perfect summer ...
This ... going to be my go to ... summer. Incredibly versatile this ... can be worn during the day to run errands, slip into after a day at the pool or beach, or accessorized to be worn out somewhere casual at night. I am 5' 7", 140 lbs, 36A, athletic build. I am almost always a medium in Athleta tops/dresses and this one was sized perfectly. I saw in some reviews people complained about the front 'puffing' out. There is some gathering under the bust, but by now means puffs out. As for the length it is on the longer side compared to some of Athleta's other dresses, but at my age of 47, it's perfect. Great purchase!

Not thrilled
I love the catalog and the clothes looked great, but when I got the 3 dresses I bought, all looked like sacks on me. There was no shape to them - just straight up and down, and too full. Maybe it's the sizing - 4 - 6 is a big range. I'm really a 4 and am sure the XS would be too small. But the S was unflattering and blah. The quality is good though - wish I coudl get the dresses in my real size!

Disappointed
This is not as cute as I expected. The fabric is very thin and kind if cheap feeling. The gray color looked lifeless on me. Also the sporty back was a little weird with the front style. That said it fit well and I may have kept it if I hadn't picked two of the other dresses I ordered over this one.

Liked, but didn''t fit well enough for price!
Well I was hopeful that the ... would fit as I am really looking for some fun summer dresses that I can just throw on with a pair of sandals as I drive my kids here and there or come off the beach, etc. But unfortunately for the price I ended up returning it because it wasn't "that ... love"! It fit fine in the chest area but I am a bit long waisted and so it was puffy in the back and then the length was too long. I would have preferred for it to fall above my knees on my thighs. Even my 10 yr old daughter said Mom it falls at a weird length. So like I said I have sent it back hoping to find another ...

I was dissapointed with this ... ordered a few dresses and this is the only one that did not work for me. Don't get me wrong, the ... id very pretty and has nice workmanship. I ordered red and i loved the color, but the way it draped around my waist was a bit funky. I am 5'5'', 140lb., athletically built 40 year old mommy. I have a pretty flat belly, this ... looked like i was trying to hide a not so flat midline. So, if your belly is not as flat as you would like, this ... may be your ticket. Other than the waist line, the ... beautiful. The wrap design at the bustline is very pretty and flattering,perfect length, and draped very nice around my hips... the waste is a little too puffy. Sorry athleta.

The size that can''t decide
This review is about the Sonoma Racerback ... back page of a catalog (a catalog or 2 ago). I was worried because I am busty that the ... like the Vyasa, would be too small. (side note - I got the Vyasa in green in a large and it was STILL to tight around my chest area and I had to return it). I called customer service. Athleta has wonderful customer service people!! I have 2 shorebreak dresses - both in medium - that I LOVE - and was appreciative of the cs lady who told me that that Vyasa runs small and that I should try a large. So, when I called back to ask about the Sonoma ... she suggested that I also try a large in that as it is the cotton blend. Technically, she suggested that get both the M and the L and see which one fit better, but I did not want to do that to my credit card, so we picked the L. IT WAS HUGE on me and fell like a sack. It was really big everywhere - even though I am rather busty (a 38 C or D - depending on make and model of bra) the ... fit me like it was a size 14 at least. It looked so great on those models - like everything does...duh... but I had to send it back. The color was gorgeous too. So I would recommend the ... just be aware that that particular ... runs big. Overall, I would recommend calling in when you want to order and speaking with a cs person as they have been really patient and friendly and helpful. The negative thing I have to say overall about Athleta is the inconsistency in the sizing of the different clothing items. My size 8 quick dry shorts fit great, but the dipper skort in an 8 pulls across the front. My 2 size medium shorebreak dresses are fabulous as well. I look forward to getting another paycheck and spending more money....

Not the quality I expected from Athleta
The ... design is nice and I love the top part of the ... including the great little zipper compartment. The top part shows off my sholders and back and gives my 36C breast enough support that I do not feel like they are drooping. I think this ... would flow better if the Gap company would have used a higher quality material. Athleta was always known for quality materials and I feel this ... made by the cheaper material used in Old Navy dresses. I am afraid to wash this ... because I think it will fall apart after a few washes and I took it to a seamstress to sew in the waist line a little (it made me look fat instead of fit) and she even commented on the poor quality.

Love it!
Unlike many others who have written reviews, I am small chested, 34A, and often look too flat in built in bra dresses. This bra is a true bra rather than just another layer of material. It gives more definition. I love the fit and length of this ... am 5' 5" and a size 4-6 and the small fits great! It is not tight, ... cut is cute and comfortable. I have gotten lots of complements!

Flattering ...
I love this ... - it fits well and is very flattering. It's not advertised as a swim ... fabric looks perfect for beach activities where getting wet is an option. It's lightweight and a great hot weather ... dresses up well - going from the beach to dinner.

It''ll do
I previously bought one of the bra cup dresses from Athleta and was thrilled! With this one, I ordered the large based on reviews and the size fittings from Athleta and I was SWIMMING in it. I"m a 34DD with a size 6 waist, so the sizing is always a bit tricky. I returned it for a medium, which fits much better ... still not a perfect fit. I'll keep it, ... not as excited as I was for my first bra cup ...

Perfect Fit, Imperfect Stitching
This ... fits and drapes perfectly for my 5'1", 112 lbs, 34A cup and muffin top. Length falls mid thigh (not too short) for my (lack of) height. It's appropriate for many uses, and definitely packs well for travel. Only problem is that the seam on the front neckline is poorly stitched, so the lining flips over the edge a bit. I've purchased, returned and also kept many Athleta dresses and workout tanks... with every garment, there's always a construction issue, in addition to huge size inconsistencies and questionable quality. Athleta desperately needs to improve their workmanship. However, all bottoms that I've ever purchased were perfect.

nice summer ...
Overall, I'm happy with this ... have purchased many "bra cup" dresses over the years and I wear them all summer long. I love that i can get ... minute and still look great! This ... however is cut a bit different in the shoulder area, ( the other dresses are spaghetti straps), which cuts in to my shoulders and neck causing some discomfort. I find that I'm re adjusting the straps frequently.

I like it .. i dont love it.
Bought this ... pink size M...I am 5'5 130 lbs. The ... alittle shinier then I had expected. It also was a little difficult to actually get on. Maybe there should have been a zipper under the arm pit to allow easier ... Perhap because of the built in bra, they werent able to do so. ... its like putting a bra over your head, instead of fastening it in the back. ... once i manuvered myself into the ... looked good on. Nice length also. I like it ... dont love it. I purchased two other dresses from Athleta that I like alot more. ... still Im keeping this one and wont be returning it. I just wont wear it as often im sure.

Comfortable fun ...
I have been looking for dresses that I can run errands, play with kids, etc. that I can wear with running shoes since they are more comfortable for my back. This ... work well. I got the pink and love the color. Wish it came in black! Fit is true to size. I like the plain version better than the printed version. Even though I love the patterns, the printed momentum dresses have more sheen and showed more of those little bumps for me . . . I also have the Outlaw ... which I love.

not for petites
I ordered the xs and it was way too big and too tight in the bust. I am 5ft 1in with a b cup. I had to have the ... altered in the waste and taken up several inches. I dont clasp the bra cup and have removed the straps. Since that was done the ... awesome. I wish it came in petite sizes. if it did i would order a truck load, they are great looking dresses that you can wear working out, playing tennis etc as well as going out on the town.

Too big!!
I had to return it because it was way too big. I ordered a medium. I normally wear medium dresses, small/medium tops and large/medium bottoms. This ... so big I think I would have needed an XS to have it fit. It was pretty and I was disappointed ... not enough to reorder...

Ridiculously Small
Nice fabric and would be great to throw on to run errands. The ... right size for my body (8 and fit), ... have a D cup bra size. The chest is so tight in this ... ridiculous. I'm finding that most Athleta items (tops, dresses) are made for A cup women. It's going back!

Pretty in Pink
I've been having difficulty finding dresses that fit. I'm petite and 5 feet tall. My measurements don't mesh well with the size chart. If I order by my chest 36 the waist and hips are too big!! I ordered the small and the top fit ... rest was too big. So disappointing it didn't do anything for me. It was not offered in petite so I expected it to be to long. I suggest Athleta carry more petites and provide suggestions about sizing to fit me. Your quality is good ... have difficulty with fit at times.

what I was looking for
I am doing some extended traveling this month and was searching for a casual ... would wear and wash well. Found it!

Loved it so much, I got two!
I found this to be a super comfortable ... material is soft and flowing. It doesn't hug too tight (I'm 5'6" and 130lbs) and lays nicely. It's highly versatile...on vacation, I found that it was nice enough to go out to a nice dinner and also casual enough to wear with flip flops next to the pool. I ordered black but loved it so much, I got the purple. I actually like the purple better. It's not as bright as I expected.

Love the ...
Love this ... Just what I was looking for. Something to run around town, casual day at the office, and travel. It works for all of those occasions. I am a typically a medium on top and wear a size 6 bottom. This ... true to size. It wears and washes well.

I love this ...
This ... so comfy I bought it in black too! I am 5'6, 130lbs but have wide shoulders. I ordered a medium and it fit nicely. The length is a little long, as it falls right at the knee, but the material is so light and flowy that it fits great. I wear it casual or add jewelry and heels to wear out at night...great all around ...

Fabulous ...
I loved this ... so much I bought it in another color. Very comfy and versatile! I ... up for work with heels and ... down for casual events with flats. The small fit but was just a little tight in the chest, so I ordered a medium and it was perfect. It hits just at the knee, so it is a perfect length. I am 5'6 132lbs. but have wide shoulders. The material is stretchy and comfy.

I love this ...
It fits beautifully and is very flattering. I'm 5'8 and ordered the tall b/c I'm 43 and didn't want something too short --it works well. I would wear this as an everyday summer ... consider accessorizing and wear to work on a casual day. Fabric is great-- soft so feels good on skin but doesn't wrinkle. I have to say I wasn't confident when I placed the order-- Athleta seems to be targeted to more 20somethings or people who are super fit. I just had my third baby so don't fit that bill at this point, but I feel great in this ...

cute summer ...
This is a cute summer ... - pretty casual. Soft fabric and great flowy shape. Hits me right at the knee (got the tall size, I am 5'11"). The chalkboard color is a lovely soft green. The cut of the ... very flattering. The straps are wide enough to hide bra straps. The top is not revealing, even if you bend over. This'll be a great run around town ...

Cute, comfy, versatile ...
Overall, this ... expected. The purple color is a little lighter than I thought it would be, and the teal is a little darker, but they are both nice colors. I'm 5 foot 10, 140 with a 28 inch waist and 38 inch chest and hips. The medium/tall fits perfectly on the hips, snug on the chest and loose around the waist. It's got a nice a line to it. The waist is a little looser than expected, but I'm thrilled with that, because it hides the little bit of the tummy that I have. My only complaint is that there is a little pucker at the hips where the seem is sewn. I don't know if that's avoidable though because the material is a little think. It does have a nice stretch and bounce to it though, and is very comfy. I'm wearing it to a casual wedding, but it would work well for any casual event, and I because of the stretch, I think it would make a great maternity ... someday.

Perfect Summer ...
The lightweight fabric of this ... makes it a cool, comfortable choice for hot summer days, although on the down side it does reveal bumps and bulges. It may be a better choice for slim figures. I am looking forward to wearing this casual ... during the day as well as evenings. I love the Gem Blue color.

Feels great, a little clingy
I bought this for an upcoming trip to the Caribbean, where I'll wear it as a swimsuit coverup and a casual around town ... I'm usually between a size 12 and 14, and I ordered the large which fit great at first. It did shrink a bit in the wash, maybe because I dried it on normal instead of low heat. Even the first wearing, the waist was a little tight/clingy. The fabric feels nice and smooth and a nice color.

I''m just not sure
I really wanted to likt this ... thought perhaps it would be a nice weekend casual dress...and it is, sort of. It's just that it is so baggy in the waist area that I really feel lile I'm wearing a potato sack. It was on sale and was super cheap, so I will keep it, just don't expect too much from this ... feel a little frumpy dumpy when I wear it. For reference, I am 5'4" 125 lbs and ordered the small. I could have easily worn an XSmall.

Flattering and Versatile
Very comfy, great color choices (have it in black too), and versatile. It's casual and also business casual; I wear it to work. Fabric is soft and breathable. Love it!

Love this ...
I have been looking for the perfect summer ... long time. This one fits the bill. Casual enough to run the kids to karate practice, but "dressy" enough to wear out to casual dinner with hubby or to kindergarten graduation! I never buy two of anything but this ... got in the Emerald color first and received so many compliments I got the Indigo several weeks later. I am 5'9", 145 lb, tall and slender, but after 2 Caesarian sections have the little mommy pooch that's so hard to get rid of. This is extremely forgiving of that and flatterinig overall. I ordered the Large Tall because I didn't want it to be too clingy or tight. It hits me just above the knee and at age 44 that's exactly what I wanted. If you want a little sexier look, order the regular length. I love this ...

Great Sporty ...
I love this sporty ... Very comfortable and much thicker and forgiving quality fabric unlike some of the "thinner" dresses I have gotten from Athleta lately. (What's with the poor fabric latley?) Anyway I'm 5'10" tall, normally a size 14 with a 38 D chest and I got the XL, it fit perfectly, this one is a winner, I'm going to get it in another color. If you are modest you may want go with a taller size. I found the length is perfect though for a summer ... wear at the cottage and get a little sun as well as run errands and maybe even golf in. Not a dressy ... though, more casual. Nice job Athleta, keep these kind of dresses coming.

Third time is a charm
Bingo! After trying the Dhara and LBSD dresses withour success I finally got it right. This ... fits just perfect. I am 5'5 and 127. I went with the small tall size in black and the lenght it's just right (I don't like anything shorter than 38" on me and the tall is 39"). I love the fabric, the feel, the fit. Just perfect. Great casual summer ...

Perfect
I have a lot of trouble finding casual summer dresses that fit to flatter my not so perfect figure. This one is perfect! I have worn it to social outings at the beach and a night out with friends. I love it! I got a ton of compliments on it as well! So stylish yet comfortable! I love it!

Cute, comfy, versatile ...
I wanted a comfortable and casual ... wear around the house and around town on the weekends, and was considering some of the other Athleta dresses, but when I read the great reviews for the Seniorita ... decided to give it a try instead. I'm so glad I did! The fit is flattering, comfortable, and super easy to wear. I am nearly always a medium (5'10, 145 lbs, d cup), but after reading other reviews ordered both the tall medium and the tall small to try. The medium fit fine, but had a lot of extra fabric everywhere from the waist down. The small is fitted through the chest, but not too tight, and the rest of the ... fits perfectly. I wore it the other day to meet some friends for a causal lunch, and got lots of compliments!

Perfect Go Anywhere ...
I love this ... have two of the Senorita dresses in long sleeve and I really enjoy wearing them from Fall through early Spring, but this ... takes the cake! I am 5'5", 115# and I have a rather ample chest - I ordered this ... black, XS and it fits wonderfully. It is fitted through the chest, but not tight. I took the ... Bermuda two weeks ago and I didn't want to wear anything else(except a light jacket with it at night). It looks great with flats, sandals and the ultra casual flip flop.

Great ...
The cut is flattering, and the organic cotton is so comfortable! This ... can easily be worn for both casual and dressy occasions--I wore it to a wedding, and it looked great with a chunky necklace and heels. I prefer my dresses to be snug through the torso, so I ordered one size down from what was recommended; I'm a size 0, and the XXS is perfect.

Great casual ...
This ... looks great on - mostly should be used for very casual, everyday wear. It travels beautifully, as it does not wrinkle in suitcase. So versatile if need be: Casual enough to be used as a beach cover up, can ... down with flip flops and a jean jacket or even ... up more if need be with a nice sandal, sweater and jewelry; the material is that nice. Very happy with this purchase!

Take another look in the mirror...
This ... very flattering cut. I purchased two dresses, from Athleta with the goal of keeping one, but had to keep both because of the nice fit and comfortable style of this one. I plan to wear with leggings underneath- great for everyday casual, but makes you look cute! I got the olive color, the color is more toward brown, and very pretty. I would highly recommend this one!

great simple all around ...
LOVE IT! This ... multi purposed and can be worn with different looks. I wear it out to dinner with heels, or put capri leggings under it for a casual day out. It can over a swimsuit or be worn with flip flops for comfortable look. The material is cool and breathable very flattering fit. I found it to be a little looser around the hips then I would want but hey it comes in tall sizes and I am just thrilled to have a company offer skirts and dresses in tall! But still I would not have kept it if the fit was too big. It is a great purchase. The sizing was accurate as I normally wear a small tall.

Fabulous!
I am 5'8", 145 lbs, athletic build. This ... flattering and fits like a glove. I am amazed that I will not need to wear a bra with it (I am a 36C)! Perfect built in bra. I ordered the olive color, after reading other reviews, and I love it because it does resemble gray. Great casual ...

Love It!!
I purchased this in the jazzy jam color, and it is a beautiful color. I love the comfortable fit and style of this ... material is very soft, I think this will be very easy to ... up or wear casual at the lake.

I Love This ...
I just got this ... black and I love it. I am 5'41/2 and I weigh 140lbs and I bought the medium. I am a 36C on top and I won't have to wear a bra. I am a little "hippy" and the ... fit my curves in all the right places. I am planning to take this ... Bahamas with me this summer, and i will be able to wear it with flat sandals for casual wear or ... up with heels and some nice silver jewelry. Thanks Athleta for another great ... add to my collection!

Awesome ...
LOVE this ... It's very flattering and extremely comfortable :-)Love the bra insert...just throw it on and you're good to go! It can go from casual to dressy too! It is way too long though...about 3 inches too long and I'm 5'8"....going to have to take it up, but other than that...it's an amazing find!

Buy this ...
Great for casual night out as well as day. Fabric drapes beautifully, hides any imperfections, built in bra prevents bra bulge, waist cinches in just enough to give shape with out cling. I plan to get this ... another color as well.

Very Flattering
I bought this ... mainly for an upcoming trip - it should be casual enough for daytime sightseeing as well as easy to accessorize for a dressier look on a night out. The lines are very flattering and my husband was full of compliments. Plus - pockets!! I was worried it might be a little long and a little tight (I'm a 5'-4" medium sized person) but the length and fit is great. It's going to be a staple in my spring wardrobe.

The Perfect Resort Wear
Wore this ... both day for casual and with jewelry for evening during a trip to St. Lucia. Flattering for the full figured woman - size 14, and so very comfortable.

you''ll wear it often...
Very nice quality ... very comfortable. Great for travel. Wear it casual or ... up with some accessories and your good to go anywhere. I purchased the raspberry color and it is just enough punch without being too bold. The fit is very flattering but if I had to change one thing it would be the pocket at the hip. Having the pockets are great but only if you are not too curvy in this area.

Very Flattering!
I am 6 ft tall, 140 lbs. and I got an XS for a tight, slim fit! I started with M, then went to S and finally XS for the slim fit I desired. It is obviously not a true maxi ... me, but it hits mid calf which is still a nice look. I plan on ... up with jewelry and a little sweater to wear to a wedding. But I also looking forward to keeping it casual this summer.

Comfortable ...
Great casual ... Washes well. Love the pockets and seaming detail. Flattering! Doesn't hug the wrong places. Only thing is I'm 5'3...can still wear it with flip flops but I wish it was one or two inches shorter.

Great alternative to pants
I love maxi dresses & this one is great; because of the fit & fabric it looks very casual.

Great little ...
Bought this and the Solid T Maxi, kept this one and returned the Maxi. The differences between the two are subtle. Both have the sporty razor back, both a soft cotton, both with the built in bra shelf, but for me this one was more flattering. Zoom in closely on the photo and take note of the second layering. It has double straps with an adjustable bra clip type set up which does make the ... more youthful and casual than you might like. In comparing the 2, the fabric is more -t shirty than stretchy/lycra ish, a bit thinner and it has a wrinkle look that the photos do not show. More 'beachy'. I chose it because it was more forgiving , more slimming and it did not need hemming. I'm 5'7" and the other ... hit the floor.

Once you find the right size this ... awesome!!
Based on the other reviews I ordered an xs at first. I am 5'3" 110 pounds and it was WAY too small. I exchanged it for a Small and it fit perfectly. I purchased it for an upcoming trip to South America and I think I am going to love it. It's a bit too chilly here in NY now to wear it out and about but I look forward to getting much use out of it. It is definitely one of the most expensive dresses for casual that I have ever bought but, I plan to keep it and wear it for many years! It hangs perfectly on me and the pocket is a nice feature, in my opinion.

Great ...
I bought this ... my 30th reunion for a casual dinner. I bought a medium first (I'm 5'4" and 130 lbs) and it was a bit too large. The small fit great though. I don't wear dresses often but this one is comfortable, attractive, and versatile. I have the black color. My only complaint is that the chest pads shift around a bit much and need adjusting fairly often.

must have!
5' 11" 150lbs. 34 C size small fits perfect! Super comfy cool soft cotton! love athleta skirts and dresses!

Love this ...
The fabric drapes beautifully. The style and color (gray) make it versatile can wear it with flip flops for a casual look or ... up with some jewelry and heels. Runs true to size I am 5'1" and I ordered an XS so the ... long but I like it that way. Definitely would recommend this ...

Very comfortable
I never wear dresses this long, but it is beauitiful, and comfortable. I received a lot of compliments, even from my husband.

perfect
I bought this ... shower I was hosting. [...] just like all the other dresses I purchased, fit perfect.

WOW!
I'm not much of a reviewer but this ... worthy of a few words. I am 5'5", 120 pounds, 34A and the XS fit me perfectly. I was simply amazed at how great the ... fit. I have a deep arch in my back which sometimes doesn't give me a great fit with dresses as there is a lot of extra material, but because of the drapey, ruchey design of this ... extremely flattering. Perfect, functional length. Love the built in bra, too. Thank you Athleta for this simple and stunning ... Love it!

Nice ...
Comfortable ... Good for all types of events casual to dressy. Putting it on is a little cumbersome.

Comfy Casual ...
I got two of these dresses on sale. One in the gray and one in the pinkish color. I expected the top layer of the ... separate piece but they are sewn together. I find it challenging to put on. It is a nice fabric and has great bra support - so great it makes me look very flat....not too happy about that part. These are not my favorite Athleta dresses, but not worth returning either. They are nice enough and I will wear them as casual wear for travel, running errands and running around the house. I can't imagine ... these up for anything more - but maybe you can with the black color.

Weird
I am not sure whether this ... just isn't for the short waisted or what the problem was. To begin with, it has sort of a double top layer, and the two layers just looked mismatched on me. I think the pocket weighing down one side might have been a problem, but the material wasn't light like Tencel is usually. The fit itself was perfect, but it seemed to me as though there was just too much material in the top layer, and it looked frumpy. The material also felt a little bit heavy, not like normal tencel that drapes so nicely. I have other Athleta dresses that I really like and look great, so not sure what the problem is with this one, but I did return it because I wouldn't wear it out of the house; it looked that strange. Suggestion to Athleta...Petite women like to wear dresses sometimes too. Every ... I've gotten from Athleta I've liked, but the selection in Petite (I'm 5'2") is sparse. Sorry!

VERSATILITY writ large
The senorita ... --both long- and short sleeved--is perfect for just about any occasion. I live in Wine Country, so I have to be ready to amble through the vines and then maybe attend a tasting or formal event of the same day. A couple of accessories can transform the dress--from casual to a more put- together look. Compliments always follow!!

Nice ...
The first time I ordered this ... received it, it was slightly defective so I sent it back and Athleta promptly sent me another one which was fine. I ordered this ... "Tall" size so it would be long enough to wear to work. I'm only 5'6" but I wanted it to fall just above or right at my knees as the regular size is just too short for me. This ... does not disappoint! It fits great, the length is perfect and it looks great with stockings and heels! it could also be ... down with casual boots or flats. I'm very happy with this purchase!

Feels great
Fits well (although I am not super curvy) and fabric stretches with my movement. Can be worn casual or ... up a bit.

pleasantly surprised
I bought this ... whim. When it arrived i was pleasantly surprised. It fit perfectly. It's cute, casual (i can't wear it yet b/c it's long sleeved and it's still too hot here). The cotton is nice, it's not too tight where i feel like i have to suck it in. i love the empire waist on it. Would look cute with high boots, heels or flats, can be worn with leggings too. It's definitely not a work out ... It's casual and comfy and I plan on wearing it to work all fallwinter long. I'm 5'2" and about 130 pounds. I think I got a medium. I haven't washed it yet so I don't know if it shrinks or not.

Comfy ... like wearing PJs!
I have the Velvegreen ... small (I'm 5'6" and normally wear a size 4) and it fits perfectly. I wear it to work with skinny jeans and boots on casual Friday and wear it with leggings and Uggs or ballet flats to run to the grocery store. It's a little bit shorter than I'm used to, so I wear leggings underneath. Great for running errands, wearing after a workout, on weekends, and to work if yours is a more casual enviornment. Highly recommended!

Organic Cotton Senorita ...
This ... along with its summer sleeveless version are fantastic! I have one longsleeved and two sleeveless and I wear them for so many occasions. Also, I am 5'10" and need medium/size 8 talls, which these dresses are. They are perfect for travel (toured Italy in them...they pack well), I wear them to BBQs/pool parties, and I wear them out for various casual events. The long sleeved I wear with leggings and it feels like I am wearing my pajamas out for the night!!! GREAT item!!! Highly recommend.

Love this ...
This is a great ... Very easy to wear. Looks great on. Casual ... look great in many places. Easy to travel with. Just throw it on and go.

Love this ...
This ... so comfortable and versatile I find myself going to it all the time. Its another Athleta favorite of mine! It has a bit of stretch and is a nice silhouette. I have a long torso and am 5'8" about 135 lb and got a tall small, which fits pretty perfectly. I have a hard time fitting into dresses because I have a long torso, so I was glad to have the option of the tall size. I think the regular would have been too short. It is cute with any type of shoe but of course now I want to bundle it up with tights, boots, and a scarf. WIth the stretch in the fabric it's more casual but a cute wear for any setting, especially since you don't really have to ... up to go anywhere here in CO! Oh the only potential minus- I haven't washed it yet but worry a little that it will pill or fade.

Great everyday ...
I love this ... mallard blue color is very pretty. When it arrived and I tried it I didn't even ask my husband for an opinion but he instantly smiled and raved about how great it was. Very flattering and true to size. I usually wear an XS in Athleta tops and dresses and it fits great. You might want to size up if you are big busted ( I am not) though due to the cut through the chest. Looks cute with leggings and boots for a casual look.

I love this ...
This ... very versatile and well made. Would be perfect ... up with heels or ... down with leggings and casual boots. I will wear this over and over this fall and winter.

Great ...
This is one of the most comfortable and flattering dresses I have ever worn. I love the feel and weight of the material and the fact that you can look casual or throw on a scarf and ... up. My only complaint is that its a tad short in the length.

Versatile ...
This is a great versatile ... comfy and an ideal alternative to comfy joggers on the weekend. I am also considering wearing it to work ( smart casual on the more casual side). I have purchased Athleta before and am always impressed with their quality and feel fine even if something does go wrong because of the great return policy. Overall definitely worth the money, now do I need it in the cream too? :-)

love this ... Comfy, casual, but has more than enough style for work or going out.

Great ...
at 5'7 128, I took the advice of reviews and ordered the small. It's a nice conservative slim fit. The xs would probably fit, but at 44 I'm not looking for the clingy, sexy fit. It's very cute worn with leggings and boots. At [$] it's steep for a casual ... but it's a classic in my mind that I will have for years. A definite buy if it goes on sale.

Love Love LOVE it!
I have wanted this ... 2 years now and for a blink of time, it went on sale. Even though it is 100+ degrees in Texas right now and cooler weather seems like it is years away, I bought it --- the price was right. I tore open the bag and tried it on immediatly. I LOVE it! It fits as expected, it follows my body shape without being clingy. I can't wait for it to cool down so I can wear it! I'm 5'5" and 120 lbs and trying to loose my last 5 lbs of baby fat from having my 2nd child 5 months ago. I bought a small, but I could probably have gotten away with buying an extra small. It will be so cute with boots to make it good for casual weekend wear or heels for wearing it to work in a business casual setting. Love it Love it LOVE it! And now I plan on buying it at full price in a different color.

Great ...
Easy to ... up or make more casual... Travels well... Does not wrinkle in suitcase... Love it....

perfect
... perfect to ... up or stay casual, very warm and fits perfect!

Awesome, awesome!
I have been searching for the perfect sweater ... wear during the winter months. I definitely wanted long sleeves and some type of turtle neck. I was waiting for this one to go on sale while I continued my search. Finally, I decided to buy it at full price, and I am not disappointed. It fits perfectly. I love the Gem Blue color! You can wear this color with either brown or black boots. I think this ... can be very casual with leggings and flat boots, or ... up with tights, heeled boots and the perfect earrings. Though the ... may seem a bit pricey, I think it will be a wardrobe staple for many years to come, so worth the investment. I am 5'6", weigh 120, and ordered the small. I do have broad shoulders and long arms. It does not fit super tight, but lays nicely and is very flattering.

A MUST HAVE
This ... soooo awesome. I have worn it to two totally different outings: fancy dinner and a casual outdoor party. Several people asked me where the ... came from. So comfortable, and looks great with the boots from the picture.

loved it!
This is a great ... casual wear or ... up. The size was perfect... small, I am 5'5", 115 pounds. The length is just above the knee, perfect for boots. The sweater material is very soft and comfortable. Perfect ... boots this fall...

Almost Perfect!
This ... really cute and comfortable. I got the XS (5' 2", 105) in gray and it fit perfectly. The reason I gave it an "almost" perfect, the knit is really quite thin for a sweater ... ... its almost more of a knit t shirt ... exception of the collar, which is fantastic). I think maybe the other colors may be more substantial? I ordered the UGG boots pictured with it, and the outfit is complete! A little too "cute" or casual for a night out, but a good mall outfit or weekend runaround.

Easy and Unique Piece
... makes for a quick easy outfit. Love the styling of the neckline. The fabric is comfortable and casual, great for traveling and daytime wear.

Sporty & Comfy
I got two of these dresses because I knew I would love them - the perfect combination of Sporty, Active, and Cute. I wore this after skiing when sweats seemed like I was giving up. I wore this out with the girls because it was comfortable and still dressy. And I will wear it all winter long with tights because it's so darn tootin' cute. Yes, it's a little like a neoprene suit (I love that about it). Yes, it is probably too casual for work (who cares, I don't work). And perhaps I look a little like Gumby in the green version I got along with the black, but that's kind of fun, too. Coffee rolled right off the front of it (amen) and it looks super cute with boots, clogs, etc. I like the high collar because it covers my neck. And lastly, the highly impractical zippered pocket on the sleeve that I will most likely never use adds to the sporty appeal and I thinks it's cool. I commented that the sleeves are "too long" but I am tall and I love, love, love the long length. I think I fear the day when it starts to show wear and tear.

Great Buy!!
I absolutley love this ... It's one of those that you can ... up or ... down. I've worn it to work and out on the town and have also worn it very casual. The material is also very comfortable and flattering! It's a must have.

just right
i ordered the black and green warming hut dresses. I'm chubby and short 5'1 so I ordered the large petite. The green petite was too long everywhere even though it said petite and it made me look like gumby so I sent it back for purple. Both the black and purple dresses fit perfectly, form fitting. Thinner gals will have room under for long johns. The ... comes to my knees, is really warm. Sassy factor changes with how low you wear the zipper in front and the type of boots you pair with. Very versatile outfit. The sleeve zipper is a little hard to maneuver but no biggie. Love the dresses!

I Love this dress.Feels so good on.
I think you could wear this ... anywhere. You can ... up or wear it casual. The most important thing. It's comfortable. Just love it.

Warm, cozy, and stylish!
I love the fabric and the fit. It is a warm snuggly ... but also super stylish because of the cut. This is perfect for running around town, a casual night out, or to throw in a suitcase. I highly recommend this item.

Great ...
I purchased the Black Medium Tall Hut Warming ... I'm 5'10" at 145 lbs. ... fits well. Length hits right at knee. Good casual ... wear with tights & flats or boots this Fall & Winter. Zipper detailing is a nice touch. Would recommend this ... anyone who wants to wear something other than pants or jeans.

Wonderful ... anytime
Athleta dresses are perfect winter dresses with boots. I'm usually a size 6-8, 5'7" and 145 lbs, the medium fits perfectly. This ... easy care, very comfortable, dressy enough for an office but casual enough for anytime. I have longer arms/bigger shoulders and I love that the sleeves are long enough for me. Cold winters would not be a problem in these dresses, they are so cozy. Love it!!

Holy WOW!
I bought this for a Christmas party. Can I just say, "Holy WOW!" what a ... us sporty types, it looks technical & hip, yet also doesn't scream "workout fiend!". But then again, maybe it should;) It fits great in the bust & hips & shoulders of my 5'4" 115lb frame with a medium, but is a bit on the long side length wise. It hits right at my knees, when in the pic, it hits the model about 3" above the knee. So I guess a petite would be better suited to have the right look. But it isn't worth returning for that, so I'll have it hemmed eventually. I love the heft of the material, so it's certain to keep a girl warm on winter days. I might just wear it for casual. I bought the Solomon Uma 2 boots to go with it, then changed my mind & went for the Tessa black boots instead. So depending on how biker chic ish you wanna look, I suggest eiter of those boots as footwear with this ... along with the Smart Wool Chevron leggings in grey(too much black if you try the black ones). A bit funky but fashionable! Two handy zip pockets are hidden in the ... they fit perfectly into the style without being bulky or distracting.

Great ...
I am 5'5" 120 lbs, ordered a small. Fits perfect. Very comfy and I love the fleece lining. Casual, but can still wear to work with boots and fits the business casual requirement.

Didn''t work for me
I am 5'3" and 120lbs. I ordered this in the XS. It didn't fit my shape well. It was tight on the arms and a little small in the shoulders, but the waist and shape of the ... too wide for me around the waist. The shape of this ... little less flattering than the Cassidy ... but the material seemed of good quality, and it seemed like a good ... casual day out. Unfortunately, I had to return it.

A bit bulky with noticeable seaming
I didn't see in the photo that the seaming is swewn to be a decorative feature, this is fine but i didn't really love it. also, this is thick fabric, good for winter in cold places but the thickness makes it much more casual. If you want a slightly more streamlined / a bit less thick/ ... order the Cassidy ... which is quite similar.

Super casual
You can ... up but I find it to be best for a casual night out. It looks cute with tights and boots even the leg warmers like the model wears. It is definitely short but with heavier tights I'm fine with it. No issue with the side pocket either.. It lays flat. I'm 5'8, 135 and the medium fits well. I guess I would say it's kind of clingy but not in a bad way.. It's heavy so it lays well..

Great casual ...
Such a cute ... especially paired with a funky pair of leggings or tights. I ordered the small, which I can run either a small or medium depending upon the cut. Found it to be too snug and exchanged for a medium,, which fits perfectly. Great casual around the town look, a good change from the jeans i usually wear.

Cute, warm, slim fitting
I love this ... I'm 5'3" and 103 lbs w/ short legs, got the XS and it was a good length (above knee by 3 fingers). Yes, this ... show little lumps underneath like when the left pocket isn't flattened out, but the weave is thick enough that it's not too bad. I normally like form fitting dresses bec I'm very small bodied, and if that's what you want, go for this. ... feels warm and cozy, looks great with tights and tall boots. For a substantial and warm weave, it doesn't make me look really chunky, which is *hard* with sweater dresses.

Love the ...
I'm 5'7", 125 lbs, and I ordered the grey and the plum "boysenberry" Hut to Hut dresses in Small, expecting to return at least 1. In the past, when I ordered Athleta dresses, most of them went back. But those 2 dresses are definitely staying with me! The cut and fit are nice. The color is what I expected. The dresses feel nice and cozy, and I usually get itchy in wool. I'm going out tonight and will wear the grey ... love the little thumb holes that lets me pull down the sleeves to cover the wrists - the part of me that tends to get cold easily.

Perfect look!
I love this sweater ... fits perfectly and is so comfortable I can wear it anywhere. Its a great casual look for daytime, lunch with friends, a cover up on my way to yoga class, easy to wear and I will definitely by it in another color!

I really enjoy this piece. It is quite comfy and casual

Coziest ...
I love this ... so much that I bought 2 different colors. Very comfortable and warm - perfect with tights and a pair of boots. I usually wear an Athleta xxs, but sized up with this ... because the xxs was a little too short (I'm 5'7"). I don't find the pockets bulky at all...unless you actually use them...then stuffed with tissues or a cell phone they do make you look very hippy. Overall, I have loved wearing this ... it's great for running errands during the day or a casual evening out.

Fun, warm, cozy, pretty
Love this ... I'm 5'7", 120, 26" waist, and the S fits me perfectly. Length is great - anything longer would be frumpy for my height. The middle section is form fitting, so if you're afraid of that, size up. It's a heavy, warm knit, but not bulky - feels great over tights with boots. I feel guilty wearing it around the house due to the price, so I'm trying to limit myself to only wearing it out for drinks or dinner. The pocket works best when you flatten it out as you put the ... does require a bit of tugging and setting, each time you go to the ladies room), but once in place I can usually forget about it. I wish Athleta could offer their dresses either with a pocket or without - I love the idea of the pocket (and it's great on their summer dresses, where you wouldn't wear a winter coat that has its own pockets).

Hoodie ...
I'm 5' 9" and the ... bit short, so I have been wearing it with leggings and boots...super cute and very casual.

It is great and comfortable. I ordered the small based on how other dresses from here have fit and it fits but is on the short side. I am 5'9" and 140 lbs with an athletic build and no bust...

Super Comfy!
Super comfy that can be completely casual with slippers or ... up a bit with some boots.
