Customer Reviews Patagonia Bandha Dress

Not a good dress if you have any kind of tummy. It's very clingy around the middle. I've had two kids and this dress doesn't let me hide it.

This is a beautiful, flattering dress to wear to the park or wear out to dinner. So versatile, and the cut makes your arms look great! Great length too. Love it. So comfy you could sleep in it. And the brownish pink color is lovely.

I really can't recommend this dress highly enough. It fits me like a glove, feels great in warm weather, and machine washes and dries perfectly. Looks new after a few wearings. I'm slender through the torso and curvier hips/butt/legs, and this dress is perfect for me. I'm 5'4" 115 and xs is just right. I own the bali blue and rosehip, may end up getting a black one, too. Also, length is great - falls just below the kneecap. Can wear with flip flops or dressy sandals (love these dresses with my Dansko Sigrid sandals).

I love this dress! I got it in dragonfruit and I am going to order another in black. The material has a cool feeling and is of great quality. My fiance pointed out the seam flat down the middle of the dress, but I kind of like it, it differentiates the dress. This dress is super flattering in all the right places. I am small chested (34A) and the dress made my small tatas look good. I ordered the XS and I am 5'4", 117 pounds, and it fits like a glove.

I love my Patagonia bandha dress that I ordered from Zappos! I love the bright blue color and the fabric feels great! The cut is fantastic as well, it accentuates the positive and forgives the rest, which I can fully appreciate! I dressed it up for a wedding. I am pretty sure I was the most comfortable person there and I got so many compliments!

I am 5'8", 130, with a 36 D chest. I have a difficult time trying to find dresses that fit me through the chest, but aren't huge everywhere else. I was very pleased with this dress (I bought the medium in black). It was extremely flattering up top and had a nice shape below. Just about perfect.

I have tried multiple brands, cuts, sizes of dresses for summer/spring/fall. I returned them all! This one has a very comfortable cut, flattering fit, nice-to-touch fabric. Though, if you have a few bumps to hide, size up because although the cut is relaxed/a-line the fabric will hug you at certain places.

I ordered this dress in black. Overall, it is comfortable and has a nice drape to it and the top is very flattering. However, it clearly states on the label "Slim Fit" which is kind of an oxymoron when you are buying an 1X. It shows every bump and bulge so I had to return it because I could never wear it in daylight.

I am a full figured / hour glass size 16. I love the way this dress looks on me. I get loads of compliments when I wear it - it is very slimming indeed. It can be both dressy or casual depending on the accessories and shoes I'm wearing.

Great fit, so flattering. I wear anything from a 4 to an 8 (36,28,36). The medium fit me well. Seems like this would be easier to dress up than to go to the beach with. Still very versatile and lovely.

I love this dress for many reasons. First, the fit is comfortable and style is super cute. I am 5'4" tall, 130 lbs, 34C and the size medium fit well without being too tight. The length is good, hitting me at the knees. The material is similar to a bathing suit and is super soft, also wicks away moisture on hot days. This dress is very versatile and can be worn with flip flops or heals. The blue color is bright and beautiful. I plan to purchase one in every color!

This is great fitting, comfortable dress that travels well. Unlike some of the strappier Patagonia dresses, it also is not so low cut that a bra becomes hard to wear. Definitely one of my go-to dresses.

Love this dress. I ordered the XS and it fits perfectly. Very slimming and flattering.

This dress is great! I bought it in blue, and it is beautiful. If you have a thin waist, this dress will show it off! I already had two of the Bandha dresses from last year (with the longer length). I'm so glad they came out with the new version of this dress, because the length on this is perfect, hitting at the knee.

I like the material Patagonia uses for these dresses. Very soft and comfortable. There isn't any chest support, and while the material is flowy the dress still hugs your body. I also like the cap sleeves.

Really wanted to like this dress. I ordered a size up as everyone suggested. Too big, but I believe a smaller size would be too small. Will return.

I love Patagonia but was a little disappointed with this dress. It is very cute but the material seemed thinner than usual. I'm 5'3" and while the length was fine, the shoulders made me look a little broad. I can't put my finger on why it just didn't work, but I suspect on the right body shape this would be fine. I'm returning this one.

Great color, but if you have any flaws at all, be careful as this dress will hug them!

I didn't love this dress like the other reviewers. I felt it hugs a bit too much and shows imperfections. Also, the rosehip made me looked washed out. The sizing was correct - SM, 5' 5", 133 lbs.

This is such an pretty, effortless dress! It can be dressed up or down, and the knot at the bust makes it a little more interesting. Even though it's made of clingy, swimsuit-like material, the design of the seam and knot in front can hide a some belly or bloat. I have it in a few different colors from different years because I love them and (like most clothes from Patagonia), they hold up very well over time. I always hem them because I'm short (~5'1"-5'2"), and don't ever find the length flattering. That's not a reason to take off a star, though, in my opinion. I find that it runs true to size.

I love this dress! Very comfortable and beautiful. I am 5'4 and 144 pounds, 34B, ordered small and it fits perfectly

I absolutely love, love, love this dress, lays well, washes well (hang to dry), dries fast, packs easily and flatters the curves perfectly. I love it so much I know have it in every color offered and fits true to size I wear a small and it is a bit low cut so if you have a large chest it will show some cleavage but not in a distasteful manner.

This dress is perfect. It is super comfortable and lightweight. I am 5'6", 135 pounds- I got the medium. I have a small upper body and fuller hips and thighs. The A-line shape of the dress is very flattering.

I love this dress! Really comfortable, fits great, looks fabulous. I want to wear it to brunch, to a party, to the beach...everywhere! It's honestly the best dress I've ever owned. Love!
