Great ...
I actually bought two dresses in different colors, and I will keep both! This ... very comfortable and flattering. I can't wait to wear it on vacation!

A Fabulous Surprise!
I appreciate the reviewers who take the time to give their weight and measurements to those of us who are unsure of what size to order in Athleta dresses since each style seems to run differently; thank you! I am a 34C 5'1" and approx 115lbs and was so unsure of what size to order. The reviews helped me with ordering size SMALL and I am glad I did, I have wonderful support in this ... unusual for me to find a ... dont need to wear a bra. It is so comfortable. I will have to have it hemmed due to my height but I am still so happy with this purchase. Again, thank you to those of you who shared your weight, height and bust measurements so that I order the correct size.

Great Little ...
I love Athleta dresses and this one did not disappoint! I am 5'2", 108lbs and a 32A bra size. I bought the XS and it fits well. Being very small up top I appreciate the extra help of the built in bra. Also, the length is good for my petite frame and in fact, is on the short side so I may not wear it to work but it's a great length for going anywhere else. It's also very comfortable. Very happy with it!

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.

Love this ...
I absolutely love this ... so comfortable and I love the fact that I can wear it without a bra. The support in the ... perfect. I am a 38C and the support is great. Super comfortable. The only thing I wish was that it came in a petite length. It hits right above the knee, and I prefer my summer dresses to be maybe 2 inches above the knee, but it still looks great. The material is very soft and flowy and not constricting at all. I ordered at Medium (I'm 5'5" 135lb), and this fits great! I want to wear it every day! I might have to get it in another color!

Nice, but
for the money, the material should be more substantial. I bought bra top dresses years ago that are still going strong. I think this one will only last a season or two. The ... beautiful color blue and fits nice, but with the thinness of the material you better be in shape! It's perfect to wear on date, or to nice restaurant because the material is not swimsuit, more like drapey spandex, if that makes sense. I'm 5'3" and 130 lbs. and the medium fit perfectly.

Too tight for curves
I ordered this ... Vivid Blue in both the S and S Tall. The color and style are very pretty but unfortunately the ... too tight through the hips and butt to accommodate my curves. I am 5'8", 140, 34/36B, and usually the Small Athleta dresses fit me perfectly, especially in this type of swimsuit fabric. This ... really got hung up on my hips and "booty", although it fit nicely up top. The Tall was a little more forgiving than the Regular size, but not enough for me to keep it. I think the extra material helped weigh the skirt down so there was less bunching. The top of the ... flattering and I really liked the different style of the neckline and straps. I also liked the option of being able to cross over the straps in the back. I'm disappointed this ... didn't work for me. It was so close to perfect!

Pleasantly Surprised
This is my first Athleta purchase and I am very happy as it is difficult to purchase summer dresses for my daughter who 15 years old, 5'7', broad shoulders, 36C, and long legs. This ... perfect as is it flattering, but not revealing. Depending on how she dresses it up, she will be able to wear it just about anywhere. The ... seems to be well made and the fabric is very comfortable. I would have given a 5 star rating, but haven't washed it yet so we'll have to see.

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 ...

Not for me
I'm 5'6", 140#. Struggle to pull on over head. Like many dresses of this kind, makes me look butchy, like I should be posing for muscle magazine. Pads are better out. Great support and great fabric...it's a swim suit. The breaker was that my tummy bulge at age 41 despite being a half marathon runner and yogini, shows unattractively.Return to sender. Gorgeous color though. It MAY BE FOR YOU!

Flunked the quality test
I was very excited when this ... went on sale because it perfectly coincided with a trip to southern Spain my husband and I had planned. I loved the fit, not skintight but loose enough to breathe well, color, and built in bra. It also packs well and was wrinkle free. Sounds perfect so far. I spent the morning of the first day I wore it dropping off post cards and walking through town, and to my dismay, I found that the fabric had already started pilling in the place where my purse (worn cross body) was sitting against my side. Are you kidding? Pilling from wearing a purse for two hours? That is some wimpy fabric, and I spent the rest of the day readjusting my purse periodically to keep the fabric from pilling more. Too high maintenance for me. I will stick with my Patagonia dresses, which are much better quality and lower maintenance.

Fabulous and very flattering!!!!
This is the best ... have ever put on in my life! I ordered the black last summer for a trip to Mexico. Though I brought other dresses on the trip, I wore this more than once on this vacation. The ... super flattering! I have a very structured upper body and am muscular through the arms, shoulders and back. This ... really flatters that area. I loved it so much that I bought the blue and the periwinkle. Will probably live in these dresses this summer. The ... so versatile that you can wear it with a pair of flip flops casually or you can put on a pair of heeled sandals and wear it out to dinner. Best purchase I have ever made!

Wonderful, flattering ...
I was looking for a couple 'wear everywhere' dresses and found a couple that I liked on athleta's site that I thought would do the trick. After reading the 'meh' reviews, I decided that despite what I thought of the pictures I would just pick the highest rated dresses, and I am very happy I did. I am 5'7 36 C, and a 40 hip and a medium fit very well. The length ends just above my knees. The material is stretchy so you never feel constricted. The chest fits well, but is a little snug if you are wearing a push up. I ordered it in Chocolate, the subtle color could be worn to the beach, while being appropriate for errands, and could even be ... up for a nice dinner. This is my new favorite ...

Just bought *another* Pack Everywhere ...
I love, love, love this ... Just bought my 3rd one, in the blue that was one sale.. nice color. Bright, but deep... very nicefor a resort vacation, or just going out around town. I tend to be a size 10 in Athleta dresses (size 8 normally).. I am a 36C and 155lbs, 6feet tall, and I love the length on this ... tall. I'm in my 30s and prefer not to have several inches above my knee showing.... The fabric is light, and comfortable, and I think the top gives a great lift & shape to my chest, without revealing too much! I also like how it is fitted more at the ribs, which slims me out. Will continue to buy more!!!

The perfect ...
I am 5'10" 165lbs and have found ... shopping to be about as stressful as jean shopping because of the way many dresses are cut. I bought this ... before and fell in love it and recently bought another one in solid black. Not only is this ... incredibly comfortable (it moves with you) it can be ... up or down and the material is great in hot weather climates because it is thin (but durable) and it's breathable. Not to mention it has a crazy slimming effect! I bought them in tall and the cut is perfect for my height and shape. I have other dresses from Athleta but this one is my favorite.

love this ...
I believe I bought this ... before I lost 20lbs, but now that I have, I love it!!!!!!!!! I have already bought 2 dresses. Not that I am a small lady -- I'm not -- size 8 or 10. The 10 fits me so well, and I consider this ... "head turner" only because it literally turned heads!! Very lightweight, very comfortable and it stayed in place. Love it!!!!

Great ... talls
I am too tall/long waisted to buy dresses "off the rack". I ordered this as a test and it fit wonderfully. I am thrilled. I bought the size 8T, I am 5'9", 145lbs, 34C, waist 28", 39" hips. The hem hits me just below the knee. I may take it up a bit. I tried it with a strapless and without - Iit can be worn either way. The ... material is thin but was well made. It hangs nicely and is very wrinkle resistant. I think this is going to be a great summer ... ordered camo but it didn't go great with my fair skin so I am returning this for another color.

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:)

Arrived Wrinkled
This is adorable. The lightweight fabric will make this my new favorite summer ... I'll probably travel with it as well. The support from the halter top was adequate for everyday wear, but not for sports. It would probably survive low/non impact activities, but obviously no inverted yoga poses or running! I got it in an XS, I'm 32DD 125 lbs 5'3". It hit just above the knee, and wasn't TOO clingy in the butt. As a sidenote - nearly ALL dresses are very clingy in my butt, but if I size up the bust band is too big around. This fit better than most in the rear. My only actual complaint is that for something being touted as "non wrinkle" this is the ONLY item I've purchased from Athleta that arrived wrinkled. I washed it, hung it to dry, and it is still wrinkled. Perhaps I could gently steam out, but I doubt it. I don't mind some wrinkle in summer wear, but I would have a rough time going out to too nice of a dinner in this.

Why did I listen to the Petites?
I ordered this ... take on vacation and I took the advice of several people here and got it in a 4P as I was hoping it wouldn't be frumpy long. I'm 5'6' (barely) and in shape, but at 44 I haven't worn dresses several inches above my knees for a quite a few years. (Granted living in the Bay Area, it's seldom warm enough to wear dresses, period.) So now I'm not sure I will keep this as I feel like mutton ... lamb. I'll have to see what the man says--he'll probably like it; I'll probably be worried about a backdraft. Also, I was expecting it would be versatile and could be dresseed up and worn out to dinner; the stitching makes it very cute for daytime, but it can't quite pull off heels and a pashmina for night, maybe the length would've fixed that.

Casual little black ...
I bought 3 other dresses and the same size worked well for all of them. This ... great but was tighter around the chest/waist. Instead of ordering a bigger size, I decided to return it. It was a great ... though.

Not for me.
It was difficult to zip the sides up just because I'm not used to a side zip, and once on, the whole ... fit great, except the chest area, the very top part bagged down and didn't look good on me. Maybe just too small chested but a smaller size wouldn't fit other areas of my body. I am in love with the other dresses I ordered the Sunfish Swim Dresses.
