Sochi sweater ...
This ... looks great on, very flattering!! I ordered it in grey then decided to exchange it for the purple. The purple is really pretty and the ... pops out more in this color. It will look great with black tights and black boots. I plan to wear it for work, but would also wear it out at night. Very versatile ... find all my Athleta dresses are. I will get. a lot of use out of this ...
Feminine, elegant neckline
This ... so cute and can be worn for dressy or sporty occasions. I don't worry too much about how the neckline lays. I fix it a time or two, but it does fine. I am 5' 5", 125#, and I got the XS. It's not too tight, but I like a close fit without being clingy. My figure isn't perfect, but this ... flatters. It's a very unique look and I love wearing it. Looks best with tights and boots. I got the purple and was a little worried about the color, but it is a nice orchid and makes a refreshing change from my usual wardrobe of black and grey!
Love it!
I live in a cold climate and I'm always grabbing the clothes that feel good and keep me warm, and this is a ... tend to grab everytime. I'm 5'8", 140# and I ordered a Small. It fits perfectly, hitting me in all the right areas. I normally wear a small in athleta dresses, so I would say this is expected size. I layer it with tights, high patterned socks and my awesome tessa born gray boots from athleta. Love!!
Love, love LOVE this ...
I absolutely ADORE this ... GORGEOUS! It is cut and constructed well, flows flawlessly over my curves and hangs perfectly for immediate, effortless elegance. It has just the right balance of style... sporty and updated, but classy and sophisticated. It is incredibly versatile and can easily be ... up or down for the various activities throughout my busy day. I have the beautiful Deep Purple color and I love it most with the estonia wool tights and tall suede boots... SO cute! I get compliments everywhere I go and feel fantastic every time I wear it! I am the busy, doting mom of 4 rowdy little boys and I love how easy this is to throw on and go, but still look great. Both the sleeves and overall length are just right to keep me covered and cozy without the fuss of tugging at them. The wrap around shawl collar is uber flattering and stays in place despite my constant grappling with kids throughout the day. The ... holds its shape and has not pilled. The fabric is soft and comfortable and just the perfect heft... Not too thick too be bunchy, but not so thin as to stretch and be see through. I deliberated long and hard about spending this much on a sweater ... but finally splurged for it. I am so glad I did!!! It was worth every penny! (And then to make life even better, a week after I got the ... received an email with 25% off. {Always happens, right?} Well, I called Athleta right away and the Customer Service Rep graciously made the price adjustment, with no reservation. I was thrilled! Such great service! I love Athleta!!!) If it helps: I am 5'5", 116 lbs, with an hourglass shape. (34C bust, 25" waist, 36" hips). The small fits like it was made just for me! It is destined to be an immediate favorite!
I''m in Love with this ...
Ok so not everybody liked this ... but I am telling you it is a wonderful ... I'm 5'5" and usually wear small with Athleta products and the size was true. The neckline is beautiful and is very flattering. The material is not heavy. I am usually extremely allergic to wool blends but not with this ... so very comfortable, that I am seriously thinking of getting it in another color. It is elegant in a sporty way, looks great with boots. If you have had reservations about getting it, don't it is well worth it.
Great ...
This is a great ... have a very short torso and am rather busty. Dresses are extremely hard for me to fit. This one works really well - better than I expected. I am 5'5 and 150. I have plenty of soft spots, but this ... doesn't accentuate them (I ordered a large). I can see how the sleeves might be too long for some people, but I like that they cover my wrists and keep me warm. Super comfy and the blue is beautiful. I got lots of compliments today, the first time I wore it out of the house.
love it
I ordered a few dresses last summer from Athleta and was disappointed so I was hesitant to order again, but I was pleasantly surprised this time around. I am 29 yrs old, 5"4, 112 lbs, and I never know if regular sizes will fit, or if they will be too big, too long, or just overall dowdy. This ... fits perfect, and it looks absolutely lovely. It is good quality, the perfect length, and I just love it! Living in New York I want to be stylish but comfortable and warm, and this ... does the trick.
Love it!
This ... great, very stylish with the neckline/wrap. Material is soft, and overall very nice sporty chic look.
Buy this ...
Ladies....this ... fantastic! I bought it in the heather grey - and it's as cute on as it looks on the model. Fitted in all the right places - I'd go so far as to say it's down right sexy in a sporty kind of way. I may need to buy it in at least one other color. I'm typically a size 4 in dresses - the small was a perfect fit!
Cute ... petite, runs a bit large in the waist
I ordered the ... purple and also in grey. My main use for these dresses is casual wear, perhaps to work and also for traveling as the nice knit fabric will hold up well in a suitcase. I'm 5'0", 110 lbs, 32B and have an athletic/slender figure. I ordered the XXS and found the top and arms fit perfectly, and the length was pretty good considering I'm so petite. I think I'd like it an inch or two shorter when worn with boots, but the hem of the ... hits right above the knee on me now. My only complaint is that because of the A line design, it is alittle looser through the waist/hip region than I'd normally wear. It's a bit flowy on me, but I plan to wear it in the winter with tights or leggings and perhaps a longer tank/cami beneath, so I don't think it will be a problem. Also, the pleating on the top is sewn in, so it can take a bit to adjust it properly. I don't think it does much to enhance a smallish bust (32B), but it's not terrible either. I think it's a pretty good value at the sale price, but I definitely wouldn't have paid full price for this.
Lovin'' My Plum Sochi ...
As with the Cassidy ... length was a tad longer than I expected. The ones worn in the catalogue must be petites.... Both of these dresses come to my knee and I'm 5'8". Otherwise fit is spot on. Love the Sochi with tights and boots!!
