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.

Liberation in a ...
I live for Summer! During this season I long to be foot loose and fancy free. But, after having my two sweathearts, I have found that I need to wear a bra with Summer dresses in order to get my bust shape back. This has limited my options in Summer dresses. I gave up wearing halter dresses entirely because it is not possible to wear a bra, and I need the lift to obtain my hour glass fiqure.The Pack Everywhere ... answer to my prayers. It is Liberation in a ... do not need to wear a bra because of the band just under the bust which acts to support the chest while lifting with the halter tie straps behind the neck. Plus, the additon of the micro thin padding gives the extra cushion I need to get my "Vaboom" back without surgery!!!!!

LOVE IT
I own a lot of summer dresses and this is my favorite! It's uber flattering while showing a tiny bit of cleavage and draping beautifully away from the butt and thigh area. The length is perfect also hitting just at the knee. Don't hesitate to purchase it. I am going to get it in different colors. The ... bought is purple and it's very pretty. Looks great on blondes.

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!!!!

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:)

Great ...
I have this ... both the falcon and black. It is comfortable and fits perfectly. It is one of the few dresses that you really do not need a bra as the built in support actually works. It is true to size but note that it is small around the chest so if you are broad in the rib cage, go up a size. Fabric is great and easily packs, hence the name!

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.

Great ... - just not for me.
Let me first say that I have 5 Athleta dresses that I LOVE - I even have the Printed Pack Everywhere ... berry swirl but I wasn't crazy about this ... black. The black seemed a little dull, and I wasn't crazy about this fabric in a solid color - seemed less forgiving on me. I'm 5'4", 130, a runner in good shape but I have a little tummy pudge from two c sections, I didn't like how I looked in it. I returned it.

Loved the look...
...but didn't fit quite right - I usually wear a 0 in dresses but when I received it, couldn't quite zip it up around the chest area (and I'm a small 34B) - exchanged it for the 2 which was looser everywhere else (not as flattering) & I still had a hard time zipping it yet 'gapped' at the chest - perhaps better for bit larger bust, smaller 'frame'/ribcage....

Great support; great ...
I am a full C cup, and never really feel comfortable without a bra. Built in "bra top" dresses or camis never seem to offer enough support... until now. This ... flattering, it fits beautifully, and it actually supports my bust! Well done, Athleta, and thank you.

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.

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!!!

Great ...
I now own two of these dresses. I'm 5'3 135 and the petite small fits perfectly. The Vivid Blue color is a lot more purpley than I thought it would be, but other than that, everything was what I expected.

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!

OMG I LOVE LOVE LOVE this ...
I was so surprised when I recieved this ... finally a ... built in support that actually works. I have never been able to wear those shelf bra dresses. My breasts are just too large (36 DDD), this ... had a fantastic support system and looks amazing. It skims my body and I felt sooo sexy. It really accentuates my shoulders (thank you TRX). I can't wait to wear this on my trip to Belize. I fully intend to purchase another at some point. I purchased a Large. I weigh 180 and am 5' 7.5".

This wasbasically what I expected afer reading the other reviews. I thought the swimsuit material would be weird, but it works. I think it even helps with covering up some midsection flaws. It also definitely works as a ... not just beach or swimwear. I'm about 5' 5", 125 lbs, and the Small fit perfect. I usually wear a size 6 in dresses. The cups are just right for my size c chest, so if you're smaller than a c cup you might have trouble filling them in. However, they are padded, so it may not matter.

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.

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

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.

Nice ... but fits funny across the chest
I ordered this ... two colors and love the fabric and the style. It fit me everywhere, but seemed to pucker across the chest, and no matter what I did to smooth out the ... pull it down, both dresses fit me that way. The cup size was perfect, I just think the fabric across the chest was a little too tight to drape across the bra. I will be returning both of these dresses, unfortunately.

Cute comfortable ... but the length wasn''t flattering on me
I liked this ... except for the length, its too long and all the extra fabric makes it look like a sack. I'm 5'5" and I'd say this ... knee length or just above the knee. Also I want to mention that most of my dresses from Athleta are size M but in this style I took the recommendations posted (that if you are between sizes, you should size up) and bought the large. The large fit up top pretty well, but there isn't a tremendous amount of support for a C or D cup. I don't think halters are the best styles for bigger cup sizes because it puts too much strain on the straps that go around the neck. Still, I would have kept the ... if I didn't have to hem it. I try to stick to my rule that if I need to alter clothes just so I can wear them, I usually send them back. After paying full price for this ... didn't want to spend more to have it hemmed.

Too bad....Returning
After reading other reviews, I had high hopes for this ... idea of the ... great. Loved the back detailing with the tie. The material is similar to thin swim suit material. I was expecting the ... more substantial fabric like the Organic Cotton Senorita ... (which I love and wear a lot!). This material may work on some, but it is not forgiving if you have any bumps or imperfections in your midsection[...] It was also cut in a bit more on the sides (either side of the chest) more than I expected it to be. I feel that my dresses from Patagonia (which are a similar lycra material) are better quality--.thicker and wrinkle resistant and better for packing/travel.

Winter regular for work
I bought this ... Cleopatra one. I am not stick thin, so was worried about the clinginess of all the sweater dresses. I have found that they don't hide your curves, but wearing tights helps tremendously to hide the lumps and bumps and really makes the dresses wearable everywhere, I will be wearing my dresses every week to the office and out to the holiday parties.

Great sweater ...
Every year I have an event to go to in the dead of winter, and the standard party ... just too cold. So I wore a Sochi sweater ... dressy boots, and for the first time had warm feet, warm ankles, and was just finally comfortable enough to forget about my outfit and concentrate on the interesting people at this party and get to know them better. But when I checked my outfit, wow, the ... looked good. It has a great drape, and the knit is not too stretchy, so unlike with other sweater dresses there is no pulling of the weave so it is open or see through. The weave's lesser give lets the ... hang very flatteringly and squared, and the seams flatter so that it makes you look thinner. Obviously with most women I recommend a "Body Shaper" type undergarment unless you are fitness personified 365 for best results, which I did, and the ... responded like it was draped on a display. I'll wear this to dinner, on the town when we walk to go to places in Philly, for our New Year's next year when we go watch fireworks outside in Philly after a sit down dinner. It's that kind of great warm but great looking on the go ... looks good in tall boots, short boots, and heels.

Loving this Sweaterdress
I am loving this sweater ... so much, this is the third one I have purchased. I got the burgundy, the black, and now the grey. I even got the fedora. The black is not as true a black as I would have liked, however I love the effortless beauty and style these dresses have. They are my go to dresses when I am running behind trying to get ... morning. I also like that even though I have put on a few pounds over the holidays you cannot even tell, and sooooo comfortable.

Love the ...
I have many athleta dresses and love all of them. I wear them to work and around town. I'm 5ft 9in and 140lbs and they all fit great! I always get compliments and asked where did I get that. Not to mention the dresses are all so comfortable.

Perfect ... winter!
This ... fabulous! I LOVE the creative neckline. It is a nice medium weight sweater fabric, not insanely hot, not too thin either. It looks great with a pair of boots and tights. I normally wear size 8 or 10 in dresses, but with history of athleta sweater dresses fitting smallish, I ordered the L and it fits perfectly. It hits me right at the knee, but I am also only 5'4" tall. Likely would hit taller people above the knee. Sleeves are too long, but as a shorter person, I am used to this. I got the port wine color and LOVE it. Highly recommend this ... also just a nice subtle A line, so very flattering.

Fabulous and flattering sweater ...
This ... feels wonderful on. It is extremely comfortable, just above the knees the way I like so that I can show off my great Athleta boots with cool colored socks, or great wool tights for more warmth. I got the gem blue color since I had already bought the durango ... gray, and I didn't need two gray dresses. The gem blue is beautiful and now I am glad I got it. I have since discovered some tights that have that blue, with also turquoise, purple, and black, so they are going to let me blend this and other dresses with all kinds of different accessories from footwear to jewelry to headwear. Great versatility. There is even a zippered pocket on the front left hip area for stowing things like keys or lipstick which was a nice surprise. Great fit, great ...

Great ...
This will be one of my favorite dresses whenever I want to feel stylish and comfortable during fall or winter days.

I want to live in this ...
I absolutely love this ... am usually a size 4 in dresses. I originally ordered and small, and had to exchange for an extra small. The small fit okay, but was a little big around the waist/hips (I have super narrow hips, and very little space between my ribs and my hips). The extra small is perfect (although I can't gain more than 5 pounds and still fit in it)! The ... really comfortable and WARM. I always choose comfort over style, and in this ... didn't have to compromise. I got it in the blue ish color, and may have to go back for the other color options. I also don't often wear dresses (especially when it's cold and I would rather be warm), but this one is making me change my tune. Extremely happy with the entire order process, [...], easy return, and amazing product. Another hit from Athleta!

An almost perfect ...
When I first tried this ... S.F. store on Fillmore, I wasn't sure about it, also thought it too expensive. Then a few weeks later, I saw one of the reporters on the Today show wearing it, and it looked so cute on her that I thought I should reconsider. It was also hugely discounted, as I would not have paid full price for this ... very soft and cozy, no itchiness at all (I am very picky about that). Also, the length is just right. Several other Athleta dresses that are listed as 38 in length were too short on me, even though I am only 5'7" but this one skimmed the knee, just perfect. I am in my early 40s and although I am fit and slim, I don't want to wear dresses that are several inches above my knee anymore. I washed on delicate, fluffed in the dryer for a couple minutes to remove wrinkles, lined dry the rest of the way, and it turned out beautifully. I LOVE that this is washable, my dry cleaning bill is high enough. Two criticisms: the first is that this ... (like several other Athleta dresses) clings to leggings and tights. If the designers could figure out a way to line the inside of the ... cling free material, this ... would be even better. Second, can someone explain why Athleta almost never offers discounts or promotions? Gap, BR, and ON offer discounts almost every day, so I don't understand why Athleta is so stingy about this. It is almost March and many sweater dresses are still full price! Overall, I am happy with this purchase, but again, would not have paid full price. Please bring back the teal color, it was gone so fast!!

warm and cute
This ... very comfortable and warm when worn with tights and boots. I'm about 5'9" and 120 lbs and ordered the small. In pants I often need a tall size but the small regular was fine in this (I have very long legs and a short torso so the waist hits at the right spot). The ... has a nice shape. I've tried several sweater dresses and feel like most fit a little weird but I love this one.

Really Like but Pricey
Really like this ... Purchased a small and a medium because I wasn't sure about fit. I'm 5'6 and 130 pounds and both dresses fit. I chose to stick with the medium because of a slightly longer sleeve (I like when the sweater comes down from my wrist a bit and to the back of my hand if it's cold) and the collar was a bit larger (you can manipulate it more easily - the small was definintely more form fitting on the collar). Depending on the color the pocket outline shows through the ... but it's not too obtrusive. The length was basically the same in both sizes -hit a couple of inches above my knee. The material is comfy, but not very thick, so I opted to exchange from the lighter gray to the darker gray to avoid any bumps/lines from tights that would show with the lighter color. For the price, I would have liked it to be a thicker material but overall, I like it, which is why I gave 4 stars. I haven't worn it yet, but will post another review of my findings.

Terrific -- Had to Order a Second ...
I bought this ... last summer in brown and wore it so much that I bought another (in black) for this summer. These dresses are super confortable, wash well, and look great... they are my everyday dresses for the whole summer. In fall and spring I add a cardigan. I'm short (5' 0") and the petite XS is the perfect length for me.

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 ... coming.

Great ...
This was my first time ordering from Athleta and I only ordered one ... unsure if I would like the fabric, construction etc. When the ... arrived, I tried it on right away and loved it. The fabric is a good weight and the stitching was very good. It fit pretty well. I typically wear 4's in the gap sizing and chose the 4. It's a little loose around the waist if you are built like a pencil instead of a pear but generally that works well for me because I hate when dresses accentuate a pooch. I could envision wearing this to the beach but I also wore it out to dinner at a nice restaurant and didn't feel too out of place. You can ... up with accessories. I will definitely be buying more dresses from Athleta.

Love this ...
I bought 2 of these and they are now my favorite dresses! Nice material and true to size, I'm 5'8" and they are longer than most athleta dresses but are good for my height.

Lovely ...
Dresses that fit me well are hard to come by--I have problems finding dresses that fit my shorter torso and drape reasonably well over my larger that normal hind end. I'm within my weight range for my height but just have a few curves, mostly on my bottom half and not too much on the top. I was super happy when I slipped this ... first time. The fabric is great quality--not see through and paper thin like so many clothing items these days--the color is pretty and the cut is great. It doesn't drape perfectly over my backside but it does well enough that I feel good wearing the ... not worrying about it riding up or hanging awkwardly. It fits me on the top pretty well, maybe just a touch loose but not bad at all. The length is nice on my 5 2" frame, not too short and not too long. I have wore this out to nice dinner/date night with my husband with a cute pair of sandals and a few dressier accessories and I have worn this ... down with flip flops and just a small pair of earrings to do some shopping. This was my first Athleta purchase and it was a good one!

Super cute ...
It is very hard to order dresses online for me- size, color, cut, etc. Got this ... today, tried it on, and love it! I bought it in the olive color in size small. I usually wear a small or a size 6. I am 5'3" and have a chest that is about a C cup. It fit very well and fell right above the knee. I don't feel like it is too low cut either. I usually have trouble with dresses and tops with feeling like I am hanging out. I love the material too. The fabric is thick enough to hide any imperfections. I just wish most colors in my size weren't sold out because I would definitely buy more!
