cute summer dresses - reviews
New "Favorite" for always!
Honestly, finding a cute, multifunctional, EASY summer ... size of my girls is "unheard" of. The Kokomo with the built in support gives me everything I need with my 36D top while beautifully emphasizing my hard earned size 8 bottom. It's not very often I can say "look how good this ... me AND I don't even have to wear an iron clad bra to make it look this way". I will definitely be buying more to round out the summer look! Thanks Athleta!
Awesome ...
This ... really cute. I am 5'7", athletic build 140lbs, 34B, and the small fits me perfectly. The only thing is that I was debating about ordering a tall or not, and I should have. After reading the other reviews I expected this to come to the top of my knee, but it hits a good 3" above my knee. The shorter length is cute for a night out on the town, but not work apropriate (I was hoping to pair this with a cardigan or jacket and wear to the office.) But overall, great ... Very flattering, very cute, and the style is great.
Even better than expected!
I bought an Athleta ... support (shelf bra) last summer and loved it. This one is even better, and I've just ordered a second Kokomo ... another color. It has remarkably good support for my D cups, despite the light and airy cut. I'm a size 12 and the Large fits great, with just a little looseness at the belly, but it's still close fitting enough to be cute and not matronly at all. I see myself wearing this for everything from errands to a night out on the town. The swimsuit fabric is a little peculiar in a ... but it's silky and I don't think it will be a problem.
Excited to wear
I am really glad that I ordered this ... tried it on and it looks and feels great! It is super cute, the fabric is soft, flows well, and hangs great. It is thick enough that it does not show flaws, but still moves. I struggle with my tummy a little now and it hides that great! I will wear this to my son's baseball tournaments with flip flops, to dinner with cute heels, and to the beach parties in Jamaica when my husband and I go in November. The gathering at the neckline is pretty. These Athleta dresses are kinda pricey, but you certainly get quality. I will feel and look great in this ... that's worth the money to me! Yeah!!! Oh and by the way I'm 5'5'', weigh 135, usually wear a 6 and bought a medium. Very happy
Love It!
Another great summer ... Athleta. I love that this ... has built in support. Cute for a day at the beach or can be worn out at night. Great ...
Perfection!
I bought 3 dresses: Wavebreak, Shorebreak, and Kokomo. Shorebreak was almost there, but it was just a tad more fitted than the Kokomo (though they both say "semi fitted") and I felt just a touch too body conscious in it. I'm 5'4", 123 pounds, 34B. But my tummy is a little soft for having twins, and this showed whenever I bent at all in the Shorebreak in a size small - medium might work, but the chest would probably be too big. But for some, the fit could work - the chest was true to size. Wavebreak ... chest was too big (though I ordered a small) and was a bad fit on top all around. The Kokomo ... truly perfect - it's "semi fitted", but not as fitted as the Shorebreak. The chest is really true to size, a very flattering cut and design, and the shape and drape of the ... very flattering all around. It's so versatile I'm going to wear it biking, on jaunts about town with the kids, to the beach, dancing, picnics or restaurants...pretty much anywhere. VERY cute ... which my 5-year old is wearing about the house now...
Nice ...
I love this ... purple color is great! The shoulder fit is very flattering. I normally wear a size 6 and am a 34B, and I ordered a medium. I debated a small, but I didnt want it to look skin tight. I'm not sure if it's suppose to fit tighter in the body, but the upper part seems to fit fine. I think it will look cute as a summer ... beach ... flipflops.
nice, but a bit small
I'm 5'8", 130-135 lbs...I originally ordered a small in this ... because I generally wear a size 6. It fit, but it was a tad too tight across the hips and rear. I exchanged it for a medium (size 8), and that is perfect. Not too loose, not too tight. I was afraid it wouldn't look good on me since I am small chested, but it's ok. The neckline and straps are flattering. I like the material and the color. This can be ... up with some cute sandals and a little sweater if you want.
the perfect ...
This ... really is perfect. I'm 5' 9" and a 38DD. It is soooo difficult to find dresses that fit in both the chest and body and Athleta nailed it. I ordered a large. I could have stood it to be a bit more fitted in the body area but will sacrifice a perfect fit my large chest into such a cute ...
Perfect for "beach" vacation
Got this ... Sangria color, meduim. I m 6 ft, 155 lbs. 36B bra. Color is gorgeous (and i would imagine it would be as cute in blue). ... perfect for our vacation in Hawaii! I sort of felt it was a bit too short for my 6 ft height, but still was decent. It might have been 1 inch shorter on me, than on the model above. One thing i didnt like was "inner cups", hidden inside top part of the ... After every wash or rinse they got twisted and i had to straighten them, which wasnt easy task :) But i still would recommend this ... summer, beach or outdoor. Keep in mind - fabric is a "swim suite" type.
Not the best ... option
I tried the Kokomo, the Sunfish, and the shorebreak dresses. Of the three, this was my least favorite. The top fit oddly, even when I cinched up the straps in the back. I ordered the large, and it was true to size chart, but could have had more coverage on the sides (near armpits). The back was cute, but the whole package just left something to be desired for me. This is going back. Sunfish fit much better.
