Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer™ III Dress

I love dresses but have a hard time finding ones that look good and are comfortable, and this is it. This dress is super comfy and flattering. The material is very thin, so it would be unforgiving of bumps, as others have noted, but in a looser fit that's not an issue for me. I'm 5'2", 150 pounds, and wear a size 10-12 pants, not particularly busty, and the large fits perfectly--it's a loose fit but not baggy. Very lightweight and soft. I wore it to work today with a light cardigan, and it will probably be something I wear pretty much all the time.

This dress is beautiful and very comfortable to wear. You can wear it casual or dress it up with a sweater or jacket. Perfect for warm weather climates.

The fabric is amazing and fairly thin so I will need to wear something smooth underneath it. I love the colors, style and fit, and that it has spf and cooling. I plan on wearing it during hot steamy travel adventures this summer, and it was perfect on Mother's Day.

Cute dress that will work well in the hot summer months. Easy to dress up with a cardigan and cute sandals, but also works with flip flops. It fits well and doesn't wrinkle. It will be great for travel and meetings.

I am never disappointed with Columbia products and this is probably the best so far! Love this dress. Great for the beach or just casual wear.

This is really a great dress. It hangs beautifully and looks lovely. I have the black color. I am 5' 5" and 140 lbs. Bought the large so that it would fit over a bathing suit if I wanted to wear it as a coverup. It is not revealing in any way and is so nice. Only one thing would make it perfect: on seam pockets! I may buy another in a different color.

I purchased one of these dresses last year and liked it so much I purchased two more this year. They are very lightweight, so packing them leaves a lot of extra space. They are virtually wrinkle-free, even after being stuffed in a packing cube. The way the dress falls on the body hides the extra curves and hips without looking like a sac! They can be dressed up or down, just by adding a scarf, a belt or a little jewelry. And they are very cool in warm weather. This is a great purchase for any closet and is especially good for traveling!

The fit and the quality of this dress is unique going from casual to dressy by adding a cardigan. Great travel piece.

This dress is very cool and comfortable . This is a great choice to wear on hot days with the Advanced Cooling feature! The color options are nice Che also. plan on getting another one.

This dress fits true to size and falls nicely, not too tight and doesn't seem to cling. I purchased the blue mixture and it's beautiful.

This dress is very comfortable, keeps me cool (the material is light), and looks great - I highly recommend it. I love it so much I bought a second one to have different colors. The material is a bit clingy so I recommend buying it in a looser-fitting size unless you want a tight-fitting look.

I have both short and maxi in this dress -- in multiple colors and even duplicates in black. I cannot convey how much I love this dress!!! Soft, comfortable, stylish and great for travel!!! Also great fabric for warmer temps :-)

Love the color I picked. Again, length is perfect. Material is wash and wear.

Very pleased with the fabric and style of this dress! It's a perfect travel dress - light, won't wrinkle and it looks great on. I normally wear a size 10 but since I would rather the dress be a tad loose than tight, I went with a L and I'm glad I did. At 5'4", the length is perfect for me. I ordered the navy.

Last summer I hiked the Vermont Long Trail in this dress exclusively...23 days, 280 miles!! It held up and I can still wear it out. Through punishing rain and climbing it functioned perfectly. I have a second one that didn't go on the trail, that is cute, covers flaws and looks great in our hot FL weather. Super friendly for traveling and packing!

This is the second dress I have purchased from Columbia in this fabric. The fit is comfortable but not baggy or droopy - no gaping arm holes, not revealing when you bend over. This dress feels like a whisper in the heat, rinses out quickly and dries in hours. I got the blue and green print and it's much prettier in person than in the photo.

This dress is so comfortable and lightweight.

These freezer III dresses are made out of a very comfortable material, very smooth; it lays nicely and has a comfortable amount of stretch. I live in Florida and need cool garments such as these dresses; I can throw it on to go to the grocery store, lounge around the house, take walks, pack and travel easily and even dress up with a sweater or jacket.

I bought this dress to use as a slip/underlayer dress. I am 60 years old and find that an extra layer smooths my look and prevents clinging. This dress is the perfect fit to flare silhouette. The fabric weight and drape is exactly what I was hoping for. Now that I have the dress I can see that it will be great by itself or with a sweater. Love having wardrobe pieces that will multi-task!

I live in LA and the temperature can be very hot in the summer (especially in the valley). These are my go to dresses for the summer. I now have 8 of these in different colors. Very versatile, comfortable and cute.

I love this dress. I bought one in blue and after wearing it a few times bought another in the rose color. It's comfortable and made of a very smooth material. I am in my very late 50's, 5'2" and about 145lbs, slightly busty. This dress covers very well and isn't too clingy. Can dress up or down-I have received many compliments.

I love this dress. It is casual and easy for running errands, but also cute enough to wear to church or dinner (I throw a shrug over it). I am a robust woman (size 14/16) and this dress hits in all the right places, and doesn't show all of my bumps and rolls. I couldn't be happier!

I love how easy this dress is to pack, wear and wash. It does run a little small; I wear a size 10 in most dresses or a Medium, but I found the large fit me just right after reading other reviews. Also, I am a little busty, so the empire line hits me just below the middle of my bust. I have the black and love the versatility of being able to dress it up with a kimono wrap or ride bikes with bike shorts or Capri leggings underneath. The straps are a bit narrow for my sports bras or full coverage DD brassierres, so I wear a cami-style bra with narrower straps.

Nice material, just didn't like how it looked on me.
