Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer™ III Dress

I have this dress in black, my mom has it in a print. Both are very flattering, the dress hangs off of your body rather than clinging to it. I am short, so it hits right above my knees, but it still looks nice! I like wearing it by itself, or it's easy to dress up with a cardigan and a necklace. Note: if you have a larger bust, the seam will ride up a bit. It still looks just fine!

Most of the reviews said the dress was true to size or ran large, so I ordered my usual size. I had to return it for one size larger because it was tight all over. It's cute and fits perfectly in the next size up. It's a lightweight summer dress, perfect for summer travel. I will top it with a cute sweater for cooler evenings.

Overall, a great purchase--I live in Florida, where it is very hot and humid for about four months. The dress does feel cool, and hangs well. The only issue is the bust. I am a 34C and a small in this dress, but the material does stretch across the chest in a way that is distracting to me. The medium would have been too big. I think that this would have been solved by a built-in shelf bra lined in blue.

The fabric of this dress is nice and comfortable. A cute sundress to wear on a day out.

Love it! I am 5'3", 155# and perfect fit and length on me. Gaps a tiny bit around the arms (reason for the 4 instead of 5 rating) but otherwise fit well. I ordered a large and normally wear a 12 or 14. Hides my mid-section well the way it fits, so that is good!

Fit inconsistent with other dresses of the same brand. This runs small in the bust/ribcage area. Returning it.

Loved the fabric and color. But the 'waist' was too high and very uncomfortable. I would only order this for a petite. So I'm returning it.

It fit well except for both arm holes being loose in the front only. Gaping an inch loose. I've never had this happen before with Columbia.

Sizing is weird - too big across the chest and gappy in the armholes. I'm returning this because it doesn't fit me well. (I really like the high-necked tank version of this dress, though - it's a much better fit...)

Thin soft stretchy cooling fabric but skin tight and shows every bulge. Gapes around the armholes at chest, and straps were too far apart on me. I ordered my regular size small (4-6) and it’s skin tight below the bust through the thighs. Came to the top of my knees. Unflattering tight fit, I returned.

Nice dress but colors were way off. When i received it was orange/red tones not pink tones at all. The variation in monitors would not be that different. Maybe it was a completely different color option. Not sure i will keep it. Disappointed

Loved the dress, but as other commented, empire waist rides to high. Design is off. Otherwise, pretty and useful dress. Sorry for design flaw.

This dress runs small. I have 2 other Freezer lll dresses in mediums and they fit well. The fabric on this dress is heavier than the others and the fit is not the same.

Too short and I’m short so… Fabric is too silky and clingy in the solid orange.

It's funny because this dress fits me better backwards than it does forwards. I thought maybe they put the label on the wrong side

The dress is really pretty. It doesn't wrinkle, so it would be great for traveling. It's very comfortable, but it is way too clingy. I'm just not comfortable wearing it. I am returning it.

This dress is cut rather straight and too form fitting for me. Had to return.

I really loved this dress but it won't work for me unless it would be styled with some gathers at the waist - otherwise, the fabric is too clingy and reveals my tummy bulge. I'm petite but menopausal and fighting some weight gain and hot flashes - I was looking for something cool and comfy that would also look nice. Unfortunately, the style just doesn't flatter my shape. If I saw this dress again with some gathers at the waist, I would buy 2 or 3 of them!

I love Columbia's dresses, but this is the first one I've gotten that isn't s print.. and my nipples show right through the fabric

I usually buy a large. But this was so small I could barely get it on

Fit wasn't right. Seam in chest was too high & it just didn't fall right.

The dress was a little bit small for a Columbia XS size in my experience. I didn't like the material in this periwinkle color. I have the same dress in a maxi version in a print in an xs and it is perfect. It just didn't translate to the shorter style in this color.

Should have ordered a size up. The dress wasn't as flowing as I though.

Too small

Great fit, nice fabric. But colors were totally off. Photo shows the dress to be pinks and blue. It was actually gray and coral.
