halter dresses - reviews
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!
Love it!
I'm usually a S or XS in Athleta dresses and tops -- and based on the reviews went with a small. It fits perfectly! I'm 5'2", 117. Very flattering even for petites. Will be my go to ... pool parties this summer! Would love to see it with prints ... perhaps Ikat?
NIce summer ...
Great fabric and nice length...not too short/long. I'm 5'5" tall and have size D breasts...the top coverage is not great...I feel like my breasts will be hanging out the sides a bit, but for wearing to the pool or to the beach, it will be perfect. Just keep in mind if you have a bigger chest, the way the halter gathers, it cuts across the sides of your breasts and maybe a bit more va va voom than you want! Great for a cover up ... though!
Love this ...
This ... both sexy and comfortable. I ordered the medium tall, which is true to size. I'm 5'10" and it was just perfect on the length just over the knee. I wouldn't have wanted it any longer though, so I might stick to regular in the future. The ... beautfiul color and fits really nicely. I wore it for a night out in Chicago. The only downside is that there is a built in bra and the neckline is a halter and it gathers a little funny right where the bra connects.
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.
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.
great beach ...
I got the green and it is an easy fitting, relaxed ... like it and I like that it has straps that you can change around as I don't like halter type straps. It will be perfect for my summer trips to throw on over a swimsuit or after a trip to the beach.
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 ...
Cute ... someone else
Looking at the ... knew at first glance, the halter style would not be a good look for someone with a large chest. But, after reading the reviews of several other larger busted customers who liked the way it fit them, I decided to try it. I'm 5'4 130lbs. and am a 34DD (natural). The ... definitely did not have enough coverage and support on the top, and I spilled out on the sides, for a less than-flattering look. I think the ... might look great on someone with a B or C cup.
Color misrepresented, but looks good
Color is misrepresnted. Razzle purple shows like real purple (think TCU football) but it came in and is rather fushia/pinkish/purple. Which i dont like at all. But not worth paying for return. On my 118 lb 5'8" frame, this fits great, but I am a D cup, so they are poking out a little on the sides. If I went up in size though, it would fit baggy. If I tie it like a true halter, I get better side coverage. Watch out if you are thin with a chest on these smaller sizes. I got the small. The rest fits as expected. If u have a bigger chest, size up and have it altered in the body.
Great ...
Yet another great ... Athleta. I wear it for casual use but you could certainly ... up with the proper accessories. It's true to size. I'm 5' 5 and 122lbs, A cup size and a size 4 fit well. I likely could have gone down one size to make it a bit less roomy, but I'm happy with the 4. It's quite cute and I like all the different options for tying the halter straps!
