Customer Reviews KUHL Traversa Dress

I think this is one of my favorite dresses to wear for the summer. It is very comfortable. It is casual but stylish. I absolutely love it. I am 5'7", 36C, 125 pounds and the small fit perfectly.

Love this dress. Great fit (covers that flabby space between the upper chest and armpit), nice fabric (organic cotton!), soft, and lovely color. The built in bra shelf isn't enough but a t-back bra works nicely. Very much like something you'd get from Patagonia or Athleta and a great price.

Great dress, but didn't fit me right. I'm not chesty enough to fill out the top; I'm too big through the tummy and hips for it to fit smoothly. I'm going to have to return it. The fabric is great quality and hangs nicely though.

Like this dress. Modest. Nice neutral brown color. Enjoy wearing with Born brown sandals. Comfortable, will take on trips.

Perfect dress. Great fit, fabric, length and style. I wear this with flip flops or nice sandals and throw on a scarf and it looks great. I love dresses. It's hard for me to find dresses that are not cut super low or or too short or too long. This dress has it all. I like the green color too...It's a little dusty and soft. If they had it in more colors i would order more. Love it, love it, love it.

I will be returning this one. The style looked cute, but the stitching was coming out on the V part of the neck-line, and the "shelf bra" came down to just above my belly button. I might have tried to keep it and tried a bra with crossed straps, but with the stitching coming loose, it's not worth it. I could probably get about the same quality at a discount store for much less.

Loved this dress, looked great and very comfortable. So bummed to see the darts clearly did not match each other in location or direction! Ordered another and same thing! But the brown one is fine.

Flattering and comfortable and great for travel. A little bit large for my chest/torso as I am an XS, but still a great dress.

Really cute dress, but I have to return it because it is too large in my chest area, and the fabric gaps in between my shoulder blades. I ordered a small and am 5'5", 125 lbs, 32C. Should have listened to the other reviews knowing my body!

I love this dress! I am typically kind of in-between sizes to where I can wear a small in these types of dresses, but they hang a little loose, which makes it hard to dress up a casual dress, but I don't like my clothes skin-tight, either! I am 5'3," 120 lbs, and a size A cup. The XS fits perfectly. Although I am fit, I wouldn't say my stomach area is perfectly flat and toned, but this dress is flattering to that area and is not super-tight. I don't know what everyone's saying about the darts. Perhaps if you have larger breasts, opt for a larger size. I don't even really fill-out this particular dress's cups, but it's definitely good enough and there's no sag at all (it's just that the built-in bra extends below where it needs to be, but this is a problem I commonly have--luckily I don't need the support really, ha!). I love this dress so much, I'm ordering the other color!

Love this dress! It fits perfectly (I am 5'3", 116LBS). It is true to color, the fabric is substantial and so soft you might forget you have a dress on! Every time I wear it, I get so many compliments! I wash it inside out in cold and it looks brand new.

This is a very slimming dress, although it runs a little big. I'm normally a medium, and the medium is a tad too big under the arms, especially if you want to go braless as it has a built in bra. hopefully the washing will cure the sizing issue a bit. Although if you are hesitant go a size down. This makes a great travel dress, although not completely wrinkle free, but it's more to throw over a swimsuit or for casual lunches/dinners. Kuhl is always nice quality.

I love this dress. I bought it in two colors. It is true to size, is flattering and also very comfortable. I bought a size small and I am 5'4 and weigh 130 pounds.

Wow, this is a very flattering dress. I tend to wear my weight on my back-side, and this dress fabric is a little thin for me, so I threw on a little half-slip, and now the skirt hangs beautifully. As another poster commented, the coverage of the area between the bra strap and armpits is much appreciated, as this is a trouble spot for me. I also like the length for a woman in her 40's -- not uncomfortably short, not prudishly long. I can't wait to wear this on a trip!

I ordered this dress yesterday, as usual with Zappos it is on my front porch before lunch the next day. This dress is really cute and comfortable. I am 5'11", 165 pounds, 36DD and I ordered the large, it fits great! It is very flattering. The only problem is that there are not enough colors. It is a great dress for summer!

I love this dress so much that I'm back to order the other color! It's form fitting enough to be flattering without being clingy. It's easy to dress up with heels or down with flip flops. I'll be wearing these dresses all summer.

This is a very nice dress and I love the color but I passed it on to someone else as the XS was more like a medium. So if you are petite and wear an XS, this dress will be too big.

Exactly as pictured & well-made. Shelf bra makes it an easy dress to pull on in summer & will be excellent for small-busted women. I am full-busted & the bra doesn't provide enough "hiding" for me to be in public with it, but I find it very hard to find any such clothes, so I only took off 1 star for that. (Am I wishing for the impossible? sigh)

I did not like the fit of this dress on me. It was long on me, past my knees. It fit me on the hips but the back where it criss crosses it bowed out. A smaller size would have been too tight. I am 5'6, 34D, 135lbs.

Oh, I want to like this dress: for my pear-shaped body, however, it just isn't a good fit. I'm 5'6" and a muscular 150 lbs. I ordered a large. The skirt is fine. The top is huge. No support for the girls, and worse, it gaps between the shoulders at the back. I kept it as a frock to wear in the garden or washing the car, but had higher hopes. Ill-proportioned for anyone but Barbie.

As soon as I opened it I noticed the stitching was coming loose at the neckline, if I really loved the way it fit I would probably have kept it but the straps didn't lay straight and the shelf bra was very large. I'm 5'7" and 135 and wear a 36 D, usually dress are tight on the top. Wish it would have fit me, I loved the style.

Poor quality! I really wanted to justify keeping this dress as the fit was great. However, when you take an item out of the bag and there is already a string hanging from the collar, that's not a good sign.

I am 5'4", 115lbs, 34b and this dress was a terrible fit on me (size small). It looked good except for the section on the back between the straps was gaping. It is rare that I have size small dresses fit right. I think if I was bustier then it may have resolved the problem.

This dress isn't a proper fit for my body. Small top and hippy. I first ordered a large but the top was much too big. I now have the medium. The top is a little big but because the fabric is soft it clings to my hips and my lower abdomen. I should return it.
