Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer™ III Dress

I love this dress! The fit is flattering, the dress is extremely comfortable. I like the 'flow' of it. I have hiked in it & also worn it out to dinner. It packs/travels very well! No wrinkles. I wish there were additional colors available - I would buy this dress in many colors. Have received many compliments on it.

Love the dress! Goes anywhere, super fit on my pear shape. Slim but skims perfectly. I bought a second one and wear both everywhere: kayaking, out with our ecotour skiff charters, dinner out, all around town. One small but irritating detail (please fix!!) is that the painted plastic labels in the back of this cool! breathable! dress are NOT breathable and they stick to my back in the heat, especially when I sit. Hope to see some new colors in this exact dress.

I just returned from three humid weeks in the Virgin Islands. This dress helped keep me cool and relatively dry. I have a pear shaped figure. Somehow, the cut of the dress makes it hang just right. I need a least a bit of definition at the waist for the best silhouette. This dress delivers! I have two of these dresses--one black one that I wore from day to night for any event. I also have a blue floral one that I honestly wore mostly around the house because it was the most comfortable piece of clothing I had.

Perfect dress for warmer weather! Just a bit tight across the chest, but not so anyone but myself will notice; flows nicely from the waist down. Fabric is clingy but not uncomfortably so. Very lightweight and will pack nicely, without wrinkling.

This dress is beautiful...the fabric is soft and drapes well, the fit is perfect and the print is gorgeous (I bought the geranium dot floral).

Love, love, love it. When I ordered wasn't sure about the length but when I got it it was perfect. So comfortable.

i love this little dress to wear going out or even around the camp after a nice hot shower she is nice and comfortable to wear. you can wear it with leggings and a nice long sleeve shirt underneath or just with flip flops. it fits true to size i am 5'7" 160 and the large fits me well.

Love wearing dresses whatever I am doing & this one is NO exception! I purchased this to wear fly fishing in Hawaii last month & it was just so cool (wore bike shorts underneath too in case the wind got the best of me)! Am going to get another one for the summer :-)

very comfortable, love the fabric, doesn't wrinkle, fits well.

Best summer dress ever! Cool and breezy for those hot and humid days. I bought them for myself, daughters and have sent them as gifts to friends who live in FL.

I ordered this dress as a swim cover up. I think it's perfect for that purpose because it is very similar to a swim suit material. I am 5'9' and 150 lbs with an athletic build. I ordered the medium. This dress fit well in all the right places. I think it will be very versatile. I'll use it as a swim cover up and as a dress.

This is one of the most comfortable dresses I've worn. The material is soft and just stretchy enough to be relatively form fitting. I tried several other casual dresses and this was by far the most comfortable and best looking one I tried. Highly recommend.

I wore this yesterday and received many compliments. I was looking at Athleta dresses for approx 30 dollars more. I may get another one.

I bought one of the patterned dresses; if you buy a solid color - you must have a flawless body as your underwear/bra areas might show some bulges. The top fits snug - I am a standard medium with average sized breasts and it fits but order up your normal size is a bit tight. You could dress this up or down depending on your accessories. Fabric is stretchy and has a great feel. Would fit a good range of butts ;) Like!

I just received my PFG Freezer III dress. The item is described as good for "fishing". But I bought it to wear to a party in the PNW. I also want to go to dances in it. I love the way it fits, feels great and hangs well on me. Though I've not worn it yet, I think it will be perfect for me and for travel. Very excited about it. I may buy another if this turns out to be as fine as I think! Shan Pacific Northwest Washington

I'm on the fence about keeping this. I will say why, but first a note on sizing. I am 5' 3" and 120 lbs. and normally a size 6 (sometimes 8) on bottom and a small on top. I got this dress in a S and it fits great. Not too tight at all, in fact I thought about sizing down to an XS to be more form fitting in the bust and torso, but I am afraid that it might be too clingy on the thighs, so I am keeping the S. I ordered the Geranium Dot Floral pattern and it is a unique and pretty design. I like it a lot. What I don't love is that it is made of a swimsuit material. Yes, I imagine this is necessary to boast the cooling and wicking features of the fabric, but I wasn't expecting it to resemble swimsuit fabric so I was taken aback by that. The sheen of the fabric isn't too noticeable because of the busy pattern, but I would imagine the sheen would be more noticeable on a solid version of this, like the solid black. It also says that it is an a-line, but it really isn't. It fits more like a typical tank dress and while it isn't a body con style (clinging) it certainly isn't what I would classify as a-line. I wish the flare was a little more pronounced on the bottom to balance out my hips (I am a pear shape). I do like that you can wear a regular bra with this, and the straps remain hidden. Overall the swimsuit fabric is really killing it for me. I wanted to wear this as a versatile dress (dress it up or down) but I think it can really only be used for really casual settings, and even then the material is borderline cheesy for a dress. It is comfy and a decent fit for me, and I love the pattern so I am torn about keeping it. Hope this review helps others. Note: My rating is really 4 stars, but it won't change it for some reason.

I am very pleased with my dress purchase. The colors are bright and the fabric is soft and versitile. I plan to wear the dress in a casual setting as well as a dress-up event. I would highly recommend dresses by Columbia to everyone.

A must have go-to dress!! Just took this to Bora Bora and it was PERFECT!!! Didn't wrinkle in the suitcase and became my favorite multi-tasker! Great with p arms and sandals for evening, flip flops for the beach or sneakers for a hike! Perfect dress!

I have several Columbia dresses & decided to add one more to my hot summer dresses. The fit is great & very flattering on. I chose the blue print & love it. I'm 5'1" and weigh 100 & ordered XS. Great value for the price!

Smooth (almost silky) fabric, comfy relaxed fit, lightweight. I'm excited to wear this all summer. There's some stitching below the busy line that looks a little off but the dress is otherwise so comfortable, light, and easy that I love it anyway.

Great dress for warm weather. I bought it for spring vacation, but know I'll wear it all summer long too. I'm 44, 5'3" and 145 lbs. The medium is a great fit for me.

Cute dress! I am 6'1" and about 145 and bought a Medium. I normally take an 8. It fits perfectly. There is a thin liner where a bra would be, but not for support whatsoever! I was worried about the dress being too short, but it fits great. If you are large chested (I am not), this may not be the dress for you. It is a lightweight material, but does show perspiration if you sweat, and dries quickly.

Fits great, looks great. I just wore this yesterday in the warmth of Florida. It's made of quality fabric and I really like the cut. I am 5'8", 130 lbs, 34A and the small fits great. I have a little pooch tummy and it does cling and show that a little more than I'd like, but that's my problem. The cut is perfect for being able to wear a bra under without straps showing, yet the top portion is double fabric in case I want or need to do without, I prefer to wear a bra. Love it! I also have this in black.

This is the best item in my closet! So comfortable I could sleep in it, flattering to every body type, dress it up with cute shoes, fun jewelry and a sweater or scarf for evening, launders beautifully, never needs ironing, get compliments every time I wear them (yes, have in EVERY COLOR!) what's not to love? Bought first one 4 years ago, still wearing it, add new colors every year!

It's so functional and versatile. The material is very light, and hangs so prettily. My husband and i love to dance and this is the perfect little dress to twirl in. It can be worn for an evening out or an afternoon at the beach. I bought it first in black and just ordered two more in the print styles.
