It's all about the neckline in this cozy sweater dress with its oversized, asymmetrical ribbed shawl collar.

Haven''t taken it off
I have been looking for a sweater ... since last winter. This one is not only warm and cozy but it's actually cute too! It's only slightly form fitting, enough to be flattering, but not so much that you have to wear spanx. I'm 5'2", 165 pounds and I normally wear a 12 or Large in all clothing. I have a large bust and butt and I usually have a problem with most ... dresses because they highlight my lumps in all the wrong ways. But this ... perfectly flattering for my body type. The cowl neck is a little awkward to work with, but once I got it positioned, it looked really nice.
Love the ...
I am totally in love with my ... sweater ... I've worn it twice this holiday week. It's very comfortable and warm. It looks great with riding boots and tights. The color is beautiful.
Fabulous Dress!
I have had my eye on the ... Sweater ... several years now, but have shied away from it as I thought the draped detailing at the chest would over emphasize my already very well emphasized and curvy upper body. Well, I tried it on in the Boston store last night and I am SO glad I did - I bought it immediately! I think this ... extremely flattering, even on those of us with larger busts - and is simply gorgeous - perfect for a weekend away or stroll through the city on a crisp Autumn day. Although it is made of a sweater like material, I would categorize it as mid weight as it does not feel "heavy". I also think that the one I purchased is very well made - it did not exhibit any of the quality issues noted by some of the other reviewers. I am 5'2" and think that the length and fit is perfect for me. It will look smashing with tights and boots! I am so excited to wear it!
Love the Sochi sweater dress. Really wanted it in black, but the charcoal is okey. Not too sure I like the big shawl collar.. Great with tights/boots.
Cute with knee high boots
I wanted a sweater dress to wear with knee high boots, and I'd been looking at the Sochi and Sawtooth for awhile. When they went on sale, I decided to try the Sochi because some reviews said the Sawtooth was clingy through the waist. I was a little worried that it might be too long, since I am 5'3" and usually wear 8P in pants. The medium fit nicely, though, and hit just above my knees. My only complaint is that I have to play around with the neck to get it to lay right, because of the funny bunches.
Very flattering!
I love the Sochi Sweater Dress! I felt beautiful when I tried the dress on. I order a medium gray and am glad I did. I'm 5'4" 137 lbs and the dress fits me well. It does not cling. The gray is so pretty and I'm hoping for a sale price so I can order a different color. I'm new to shopping Athleta and still am unsure how the sizes runs so I value the review section. The reason I only gave 4 stars is because I haven't washed it yet.
The Sochi Sweater Dress is awesome! I usually order size small but in this I ordered a medium. I am 5' 5'' 125 lbs with more hips than I care to admit. Sweater dresses usually do not fit my body style b/c of my larger hips. This one, however, hits the mark (as far as size). Now...the reason I gave it only 3 stars---the material is thin and makes it feel pretty cheap. The style is great, but the material definitely puts a different swing on it. I got the dress at the sale price. If I would have paid full price for this dress, regardless of how much I liked it, I would have sent it back because of the cheap material. I am not sure how they justify [$] for this dress.
Meh, not impressed
I love the Sochi top, so I thought the Sochi dress would even be better. Not so. The material is very thin. Thin that when you look down, you can see your legs (I was wearing leggings too). This is NOT a dress you would wear in the SNOW, as pictured in the catalog. The bottom hem also curls up (doesn't lay flat) which is annoying. The dress is pretty form fitting so it shows every dip, dimple, seam, etc. On the plus side, the sleeves were nice and long (yay) and the front wrap design is cute and flattering. The raspberry ish color is beautiful. I had to return though because I felt the dress was not a good value for the price.
