Customer Reviews Patagonia Morning Glory Dress

The reviews I read prior to purchasing this dress were super helpful, so I am posting a review in the hopes that it does the same for another person! I am 5'8" and 135 lbs, and can go between a 6 and 8 in most clothes. I also have the post-baby pooch and a small bust, and I went with the 8 because others said it was a slim fit. I am pleased with the fit- I know a 6 would've been too small, esp. in the tummy area. It is a super comfy dress and I will get a lot of wear from it for a long, long time. I plan to order it in another color next summer!

Very nice dress. Fitted and sporty for movement on an active day (gardening, boating, hiking) but still feminine. Great drape, quality material, falls just below knees. I purchased both SM and MD. I am going with the small because I don't want extra material and wanted a snugger fit (5'7", size 6 (34C)). I am a little hippier and found this dress to be not only forgiving, but wonderfully flattering...Definitely getting another color. It'll be one of my "uniforms" in the heat of the summer.

It's a keeper! Fabric is slick and stretchy, and reminds me of a swimsuit so definitely casual. I'm 5"7 and the skirt falls just above the knee. I'm a 12 and the large fits perfectly. There's room in the bust, I'm a 36 DDD and it's totally supportive and doable without a bra, not sure how that would work out for someone with less volume. The dress is well made and fits nicely, but is body skimming and doesn't hide much. The fabric, however, has enough body to disguise minor bumps. Cute summer dress!

Great dress! This dress is great like all the other reviews say. It can be dressed up or down depending on the need. It's backless but if you have a halter bra (or halter bikini top instead like I do) then the straps can be hidden with the tie across the back. The dress is very flattering and a perfect length for me. I generally wear a small to sometimes a medium and in this case the small fit perfectly.

Older woman finds this dress flatters!! I was wary of ordering as it looked like a dress for a younger body...but was surprised I could wear without a bra (size 40c) and it worked!!! Makes me feel 20 years younger...love the fabric.

Perfect! I adore this dress! It leaves my body only when I am forced to wash it. This cut was sold out all over town, so I am back to Zappos to order my second dress in an alternate color. The synthetic fabric is nice because it doesn't stretch and bag out, the way another of my cotton Patagonia dress does. The dress can be casual and sporty, or I add some flashy jewelry and shoes to wear it to dinner out. I really love the style and adjustable back; the A-line flatters my pear shape (I'm a size 12/14 bottom, size L fits be like a dream). I only wish it came in more colors or patterns! :)

Comfy Dress - This dress is very comfortable and looks good. I've worn it twice, once with heels and once with sandals and it worked well with both. I am tall (5'9", 160#), with broad shoulders and back, and the large fit me pretty well, but it clearly is not a design for the large breasted woman - if I were any more well endowed than the fairly average B cup, I would be busting out of the top.

Love this dress. It fits great and has a flattering cut. This is the first Patagonia item I have ordered and I'm very pleased. I am 5'6", 140 lbs, and a 36 D bust. The medium fit well.

Amazingly effortless dress! I'm age 59, weight 140, am 5'6", and usually wear a size 8. This dress is a perfect fit with my 34C bust; and provides far enough support that I needn't even wear a bra (which I couldn't believe!). Very cute style, and flattering for all ages. I ordered the black and after one wearing, have also ordered the blue one. The fabric is substantial, and it rolls in a ball and comes out of a suitcase ready to wear. Great for travel and for island hopping; highly enjoy!

I really was sold on this item by the reviews... and I am so happy I went for it! I haven't worn it out yet, but I tried it on as soon as I got it and I absolutely love it. I bought black, but sometimes black material isn't a true black, if that makes sense. This dress material is super soft, rich in color and stretchy but sturdy enough not to show flaws. i'm 5'4" fairly athletic build 130lbs, and I ordered sm and med and never even tried the sm because the med was perfect. I'm so happy with this dress! I plan on wearing it to a casual baby shower with some turquoise jewlery and espedrilles and will for sure wear it to a summer get together with some flip flops.

Great dress! The fabric is very comfortable and the fit is very forgiving. I also love that you can go braless and easily show off the great back of this dress. I am 5'6", 140#, 34C and a medium fits great.

The fabric is comfortable, especially the straps - no problems at all. It is not see through, and a perfect length for me. I'm 5'8" and over 50 as well. The pattern was bold, but then that's what summer is all about! Because of the navy background, I think it'll still be good for those hot September days as well.

This is a great dress for summer - I wore it to a friend's graduation, which lasted three hours in direct, hot sun, and while others were melting, I was very cool. The fabric is amazing - definitely wicks moisture away - but the dress is still refined enough to be worn to a dressier event. The dress fits beautifully, form-fitting through the chest especially but not too tight (and not too long - I got a small and am 5'2", and still had some leg to show...). It is already getting a ton of wear and is great for travel packing. I also recommend the Patagonia Bandha dress - a little more refined and the same great fabric!

I bought this dress for graduation in May and everybody loved it! I love it too! It kept me cool when I was in my gown. I loved how it fit too! It works well with heels and even cute black flip flops. I’m a size 4 and I ordered a small. It fit great.

This is the best dress I've ever purchased! Fit is VERY flattering, but it does hug curves. Size up if you’re self conscious. I've thrown it in the washer and dryer, then rolled up and packed. Came out great. I liked it so much, I bought another color!

Best dress ever - Omg... so I don't have a perfect body but this dress is a great "concealer". Halter is not too low and the skirt falls just below my knees (I'm 5'7"). Barely skims my "pooch" while drawing more attention to my waist. My new favorite dress!

Fits like a dream! Ultra flattering! Medium was perfect for me, typically a size 4 or 6 with a fuller chest and didn't want it skimping on the bust! It is perfect for the tropical pool-side wedding I will be attending in May. It should travel really well too. It can be dressed up or down depending on shoes and accessories. Absolutely love it!

This dress rocks!!! This dress is incredible. Great material. Form fitting, but not skin tight. Adjustable ties in the back make it easy to go without a bra, which as a 36D, I never normally do. Can be worn to a festival or a formal dinner.

Great go-to dress! It is form-fitting, but ultra comfortable and stylish. It can be dressed up or casual. The chest area is well lined and supportive. It's a great summer dress.

Versatile and flattering! This dress is fabulous! I can wear running errands, to the beach or park with my kids, or it can be dressed up! I have it in the blue and black. I wear the little foam bathing suit shaping pads in lieu of a bra - these make me feel a bit more support. This is definitely my summer "go to" outfit!

I love this dress. I have two of the morning glory dresses, which I bought quite awhile ago. It is so comfortable to wear in hot weather. My opinion is that the fit runs a little large, but I'm seeing that other reviews say the opposite, so maybe they've adjusted the fit? I actually have the dress in small and medium. The medium is loose around my waist, but still flattering. I did have to hem it as the original length was not flattering on me (I'm short). My only other critique is that I think it's hard to wear a cardigan over it, as you have a little lump from the knot closure in back.

My perfect dress. Period. I was looking for a new black dress that could dress up and down so that I could wear it to an upcoming wedding and then get some use out of it in the summer. This dress does it all. The halter style is very flattering and the extra tie in the back gives it a little style and lets you cinch up the bust a bit. A little extra support never hurt anyone, you know. The hem falls just below the knee, which is perfect for my scarred soccer knees. The cut is cute - kinda flirty - with a nice A-line drape. I found the waistline to be perfect - not too grabby. The fabric is a tad shiny, like a swimsuit might be, which I was sort of worried about since I am wearing it to a wedding, but with a pair of antique silver heels, it just looks dressy - not pool-ish. As far as the Patagonia logo on the back, I hardly care. If you're really opposed to it but love the dress, I'd suggest pinning a cute brooch over it. I thought I might do that until I decided that I like that everyone else will be wearing uncomfortable wedding type clothes and I'll have this super cute and very comfortable Patagonia dress to enjoy. Then I'll spend the summer wearing it with flip flops over my bikini. LOVE IT.

Cute and comfortable - I needed a dress for my friends casual outdoor wedding and I am very happy with my choice. It’s just dressy enough to be appropriate, but still comfortable enough to dance and eat in. The halter does not pull on my neck like others I have worn and the fabric is not too clingy around the mid section so I can sit down and relax without worrying about the dreaded stomach roll.

Oh the Glory! This dress is SOO comfortable. SOO Flattering. I am a tall, rather well endowed woman...this dress is supportive, and comfy. Wear it with flip flops or wear it with diamonds and heels. You'll not regret this purchase. I bought it for a trip to Mexico and I couldn't hardly bring myself to wear anything else I brought.
