Customer Reviews Patagonia Strappy Vitaliti Dress 08

Wonderful dress. Great fit and very practical. I dress it up and down. This is definitely a dress you can wear all summer long. Runs a little small on the chest.

I purchased this dress for a summer trip and have worn it a couple of times already. I ordered a large and it fits fairly loosely on me. The built in bra is not very supportive for my larger bust but I wasn't really expecting it to be. The fabric drapes nicely and doesn't cling at all. This is a very good dress for anyone looking for something comfortable and stylish for traveling or a semi-active lifestyle. I will be ordering more of this style in other colors. As always, Zappos service was the best!

This is a very comfortable, well-made dress. I am 5'3" and the length is appropriate for my age - just below the knee. The cut is such that it does not fit close around the waist and hips. The fabric is heavy enough that it hangs nicely.

I have just received the green Patagonia dress today, and I have to say I am very much satisfied with the fit. Excellent comfort and style. I plan to wear this spring season weather and summer. Would look great in a pair of thong kitten heals or flip flops. Thank you Zappos for your fast service.

Great dress at a great price, but top a little tight - I really like this dress! The material is comfortable, the design is very cute. I gave it 4 stars on comfort only because being a DD cup it feels a little tight on if I wear it with a bra for extra support. But otherwise, the built in bra keeps the twins in place and is very stylish!

Must have dress - I first ordered this dress in black. After the 15th time I wore it I decided to order the other three colors. The dress fits great, drapes well and can be dressed up or down. I've worn all four dresses to the beach, to work and for nights on the town. It travels well and can be machine washed and dried! This low maintenance item has kept me looking cool and sophisticated all summer long.

Summer dress - This is perfect for women over 45 who want to be stylish, but appropriate. The length and shelf bra are great.

Quick shipment and wonderful fit! I was so pleased with my shipment. It came quickly in 2 days! It fits great. I am a size 10-12 and it fits very nicely. It is quite slimming. I love it!!!

Little black dress... I love this dress! I have another black Patagonia dress but this one with the built in bra is super. You can really dress it up with some heels or down with some flip flops so it is a wonderful travel dress. I am a D cup and was a bit worried this might be too tight but even though I maybe wish it were slightly bigger it is not uncomfortable and I don't looked stuffed in. It hits my knee about the mid point which for me is good.

Awesome dress! I love this dress! LOVE IT!! I am 44, petite (5'0", 104lbs, 32 C) and it's been terribly hard finding something sexy, that doesn't make it seem like *I* am trying to look too young. The top is slightly tight, but nothing unbearable in the slightest - I think I might have it taken up in the hem 1/2 inch. (Not many dresses for short people). Would buy all colors if there were in my size.

Older women: this may be "your" summer dress... At 65 I avoid the sundress thing as cut too small and tight...I am moderately in shape but never ventured into this kind of dress until I saw and read the reviews here. It is a wonderful fabric that seems to skim over things we would rather forget and the biggest surprise, my 40 plus bust was ok in the self-bra. I plan to do Europe soon in a few Patagonia dresses and not much else. Often to dress it up I wear a Chico's mini top and tie in front...perfect!!!! They wash well and hang to dry. I consider finding this line a huge improvement in my Florida wardrobe.

Love love love it! Great fitting dress at a great price. I bought it in light blue and then got green and black because I like them so well! I usually wear 10-12 and the L fits perfectly. It has a very slimming fit, can be dressed up or down. I only wish it came in MORE colors!

Love this dress! I love this dress. It works so well that I just ordered a third one in black. I purchased the agate green and morel colors earlier this week for a vacation next week with the hubby and kids. I know that some reviewers were not happy with the fit, but it fits me perfectly. I am normally a size 2 with a 32DD chest, so I ordered a small and have no complaints (I do think the XS would have been too tight on my chest). I am 5'5", 115 pounds and it hits me at the knee. Very pleased! Thanks Zappos for shipping it so quickly!

Yay... love it! While others had the problem with too small on top, this dress worked perfectly for my body shape. I'm heavier on bottom than on top, so once I had a good sturdy bra on, this dress is smokin!

Love it - have bought 6 - Very comfortable, easy care, can go with nearly anything.

Agree with other reviewers, runs small on top... usually wear 10-12 and C cup, had to return... no XL in stock, would order it! Great kick around/summer dress to run errands in...

Patagonia sundress - I really enjoy wearing this dress. It makes me look thinner, highlights my best areas (arms and chest) and disguises the rest. The fabric is a little heavy for summer, but it does have a self bra, and could be worn to work with a jacket.

An evening frock after an athletic day - I purchased the green dress which is quite lovely, the dress flatters my size C breasts and curves. It is also an appropriate length for my age (48), slightly above the knee. The straps make this dress look dressier. However, if you like simple lines, this is the dress for you.

Loved the look, but the fit is small - I'm thin and flat-chested, a 34A bra only with padding. I got this dress in a medium and it's so tight across the chest that it's downright uncomfortable. Very strange. Simple, cute styling, but definitely runs small. I also ordered the Patagonia Bandha dress and that one fits fine.

Runs big - I usually wear a 4 or 6 dress. Ordered a small and med, just in case. The small was VERY wide in the waist and hips. No shape to it at all. Also, it was just too long for what I thought would be a casual dress to wear in the summer with flats. Back they go. Thanks Zappos for the quick ship!

Weird fit - I normally fit medium-size in Patagonia clothes, but I couldn't get this dress to work. The fit across the bust was much too tight in medium, and much too loose in large. I had to send it back, and am hoping Zappos will carry the Badoo dress.

Odd - I ALMOST kept this, but the fit is weird. I'm usually a size 4 (sometimes a 6 with Patagonia) and barely a 34B. This dress in size small was really tight in the bust and kinda loose over the butt. I always have the opposite problem! So if you're big on top and small on bottom I don't see how this dress could fit you well. Otherwise, the fabric is nice and it would be a great hot weather run-around dress.
