Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer™ III Dress

Runs very small and not much stretch. Had to order 2 sizes up.

This dress runs small, and clings around the hips. The bust and hips are disproportionately designed for most women's body shape, but okay for extremely slender hips. The material is thinner than previous PFG freezer dress as I have two others.

I love the fit and the fabric of this dress...however it's quite frumpy looking on me as it hits right at my knee cap which I don't think is flattering at all. A couple inches shorter would be perfect and much cuter. I'm 58 years old and 5'4" tall for reference.

cute style but runs small- was going to return but initiating return, I see it can not be returned until October 2020. That is a ridiculously long time !! Very unhappy with that long time. I will give the dress away and close my account due to time frame in returns.

Buy according to your bust size. I had plenty of room in the hips, but the top was a bit too tight, and the straps were too long. I liked the pattern, but not the fabric, like another reviewer said, it reminded me of swimsuit fabric. Not worth keeping or exchanging as I would have had to shorten the straps.

I was disappointed in this dress. It ran a little small and short and it didn't have pockets.

This dress is light weight and the fabric is soft and beautiful. However the fit runs a little small and the dress runs shorter than pictured.

I love this summery dress! The only thing I don't like is that is is a lot longer than in the picture, but I'm short, so that could be why. It comes well below my knees.

I will admit I have a tough build to fit. I am broad shouldered with narrow hips.The length and the drape of the dress is great. I am a little over 5'7". The fabric would be perfect for hot and humid weather. However, the more fitted top was not flattering. It showed bra bulge and pulled on the sides. With a slightly padded bra I am not quite a 36B. So, definitely size up. And if you are narrow in the hips, be ready to take it for an alteration.

This is lovely fabric for a comfortable summer dress. I like the styling with the raised waist. However, the armholes are cut way too small and the bodice needs to be longer. The fit was good in the lower part of the dress but needs to be adjusted in the shoulder/bodice area. Order a size up but be warned the armholes may be too small unless you have stick arms.

I loved the Columbia Marrakech Maven dress and hoped this dress would be similar for on the go travel and everyday wear (easy to dress up or down, quick dry, no odor) but the material was too technical, like swimwear and the cut didn't work for me.

This dress shows every bump and line on my body. I do not like the way I look in this dress. I will be returning it.

Dress is cute and the fabric is soft but way too thin for me. It is lighter than any bathing suit material. Had to return.

Purchased this dress for an upcoming trip. I figured it would pack well and could be dressed up or down. Unfortunately it is way too short for a 63 year old woman. I will be returning it.

Runs quite large. Fits weird. I ordered a Large. I'm 5'6 150 lbs. Guitar shaped.

I kept trying to make this dress work because I so loved what it could have been for me. I first ordered a small, which is my usual size. It fit beautifully, was incredibly comfortable and very well made. It is the perfect dress to wear to work or on the water. However, the empire seam at the bust kept crawling up. I am 5' 6"and relatively high chested so usually have no trouble with empire tops. I tried to figure a way to add an inch to each strap, but ended up giving the dress to my friend who is 5' 2".The bust was still short for her, but not quite so bad. I then tried a medium. Same deal. The medium was too big in the body of the dress, but the bust area again too short. An extra inch on each strap would make this dress perfect. So sad not to be able to have it fit!

Followed the size chart and it's probably 2 sizes too big. Super bummed!

Sizing is way off if you go by their size chart. I returned this and went to the Columbia outlet instead.

I received a different item than I ordered.

Very different to past dresses. Skin tight, too long.

Way too small. I usually wear a medium, but this medium is too small.

Although the print is beautiful and the dress seems to be high quality, the cut wasn't flattering. I had hoped it would be more of an A-line style, but it was more slim fitting. I'm a size 4 and ordered the small, but it just didn't work.

I'm 5'2 138 lb with a bust 32B. I ordered a small. The dress hung well and was fitted but not clingy. The reason for the two-star rating is the line for the empire waist sits across my bust rather than underneath. It makes for a very unflattering look.

I was so excited for this dress. I have one other that I bought last year. So comfortable and so flattering. The material is light and a nice quality. However, I was so disappointed! The colors of the dress were totally different than what was shown on line. The colors were awful and the dress looked cheap because of it. I returned it.
