I have several of these Patagonia bags and they're great for travel and for carrying books and stuff around during a long day in the city. Very lightweight, durable and practical.

I bought this bag originally as a back up diaper bag for our trip to Europe. Not only did it fill this role perfectly, but once we were back home I gave up my other diaper bag (heavy and bulky) and I have only used this one since!

Great bag. Wanted a Musette-style bag for schlepping a few things to the beach or when out with my kids. Like the bottle pockets and the strap with its mesh padding and adjustable length is great. Minimalist and perfect!

This is a good, lightweight bag but I think the dimensions are slightly off. The bag is more like 16.5 inches wide unless you count sticking something in the outside pockets. It still will make a great bag for an upcoming trip abroad. Wish it was waterproof.

Great for travel, folds into its own pouch, lightweight, holds a lot without the bulk, cross body for easy use and carry, but can be shortened for shoulder carry. Overall a great bag.

I use this in combination with an Ona Roma camera insert to comfortably carry various cameras around all day when travelling. One 35mm Nikon, a couple of lenses, and a Polaroid SX-70 all fit nicely in the bag along with film. The bag is very lightweight and folds up quite small, making it easy to pack in a carry on.

I bought this to take with me on a vacation to Spain, it was great for toting essentials around during the day and was large enough to fit a water bottle, guidebook, sweater, snacks, hat, etc etc - it actually fit a lot more than I expected. When you don't have as much to carry, it can serve a similar purpose as a cross-body purse. Love that it's so lightweight and folds into itself for convenient packing. I bought this in the purple color and my husband even preferred carrying this over his backpack! Zipper pockets on exterior and interior help keep things organized, but it doesn't have a solid bottom so I did find myself digging for things a bit. Overall a great purchase - very functional, secure, easy to carry.

Very functional travel bag. Very good design, comfortable and folds into its own pouch, which is very convenient. I love the bottle pockets and the color is very nice. Love the compact size of this bag too, can hold a little (wallet, keys) or a lot (add in a sweatshirt). Great overall. I have 2. Get lots of compliments.

This is ultra light but amply tough. It stuffs flat into 7"x10", and it has a built-in, zippered pocket for packing in Patagonia MLC carry-on bag or Refugio backpack for airplane leg of trip. It opens into 15"x9½"x5", incognito, cross-chest shoulder bag for daytripping. 12"x9"x4½" Tenba PP12 padded insert loaded with DSLR body, telephoto and prime lenses and paraphenalia fits perfectly inside bag. The zippered internal pocket holds passport and wallet. The internal hook holds a room key. The zippered external pocket holds iPhone, Moleskin travel log and pen. Teh second external water bottle pocket holds a rolled-up boonie hat.

Overall this is an excellent bag. It is easily the best of the lightweight/packable style messenger bags (I have previously owned timbuk2's version). It would be five stars but for an issue with the strap buckle. It is easy to adjust but can open unexpectedly. I clipped a carabiner through the loop at the end of the strap to ensure it never runs completely through the buckle, problem solved. But a product you have to hack does not deserve five stars.

Cute, adorable maxi! Love this dress. It was not available in Med, but I jumped on it when it came back in large. And so happy to have it! As it runs small...I am a size 10-12 and large fits perfect, Med would be too tight. Great length...can wear with flats or heels. Love the little tee over it! Makes it very different than any other Maxi I have viewed and purchased this season! Plus, you can wear this little top over a tank or other maxi! Love! If it came in more color combos, I would order a second dress!

I love this dress. I wish it came in more colors. I am 6 feet tall and On the thick side. I ordered an XL and it fit perfect. It is long enough for a tall person.

Super cute dress! I'm 5ft 6in and have a large bust and am very curvy, I ordered a large based on the previous reviews and it was perfect...not too big, not too tight. The length is perfect as well, it's not dragging on the floor. A very nice casual little dress.

I just tried this dress on for the first time & love it! It runs true to size and the length is perfect. I find most maxi dresses are way too long if you are average height. It's a perfect summer dress!

This dress is adorable. I ended up removing the grey sweatshirt top because I preferred the tank, maxi all by itself. It is cut a-line and fits beautifully. I am 5'3" and 103 pounds and the XS fits true to size and just hits the floor so I didn't even have to have it hemmed.

Love this maxi dress. I found the boat neck on the cover too wide and to short so I wore a different see through top over it. When the weather is warmer I won't wear a cover. Looks great without too.

Love this dress. It has a very generous length, and the material is thick enough that the dress is not see-thru. The top shirt was a bit too large, but the dress is equally as cute with or without the shirt. Completely happy with this one!

I am 65 years old, yet this dress makes me feel as pretty and graceful as the model. It runs true to size, and is well made, and the removable top can be worn with other dresses or pants.

Love this! I am 5'3 so it's hard to find maxi dresses that fit but this just hits the floor it's perfect (I ordered a medium). The top that covers it is so cute too & if you want to dress it up, you can take the top off and put on a blazer. You can easily dress this up or down. Great purchase!

I absolutely love this dress. I have gotten so many compliments on it. I weigh 147 pounds and ordered a large and it has a sexy fit. The dress runs long so I wear my high heels with the dress. I also ordered the gray dress like this one and love that too.
