Customer Reviews The North Face Heartwood Dress

I actually returned this because I wanted a larger size, it might run a tad small. But, it was very comfortable and seemed flattering. I was wearing a 4 or small in other dresses, but a medium would have worked best for optimum comfort in this dress.

LOVE THIS DRESS. I am 5'4", 135 lbs, 34D, the medium fits perfectly. I have washed and dried on low... no shrinkage. No need to iron. The length hits right at the knee. Perfect summer dress for daytime or a casual evening.

Like some of the other reviews, I think it is a little low cut. But I got over it and it is a great dress. It is actually perfect. I bought two colors thinking of send one back when I see them, but I am keeping them both. They are worth the money.

I got this dress for vacation. It was great for travel and easy to wear casually during the day or dressed up at night

I absolutely love this dress! I got the orange - kind of a coral shade. It's very flattering! The cinch at the waist is snug so don't think you can fool the sizing chart. I'm 5'8" and 129 and got a small and I feel the cinch. The material is super comfy. I wash it right away and can't wait to wear it again.

I'm graduating from college soon and we aren't allowed to carry purses with us during the ceremony. I will need my phone though to make it easier to find family in the chaos afterwards, so I desperately tried to find a nice dress with pockets. This is perfect! I am 5'5" and 190lbs, 38D chest and I ordered the Large size... it fits perfectly! With a nice cardigan and some heels, it will look perfect for the evening. I ordered an XL as well, but will be exchanging it for another Large in a different color. I love this dress!

This dress is a nice T-shirt material. It is cute. The color is cute. It runs a bit large.

Incredibly comfortable & easy breezy...with pockets! You may have to wear a camisole due to the low cut front. Especially if you are blessed in this department. Other than this, it is a great great dress! Will definitely buy it in another color.

Beautiful dress! With its cheerful color and fitting form it really is flattering. Got a lot of compliments and stares while wearing this comfortable and soft piece. I bought the green and I'm going to see if there are other colors that might work for me.

Love this cute dress! I find it fits pretty true to size. I ordered a small and a medium. (kept the small, returned to medium.) The small fit better over all, but was small in the bust. I am busty...so I took that into consideration. For most women who wear a small, the bust area should fit fine. If you are busty...be prepared to either show a lot of cleavage, or wear a camisole under the dress for a bit of coverage. I have a small waist and this accents that. It is very comfortable and I loved it so much, I ordered the blue too!

I love this dress. It is perfect to dress up with heels or dress down with sandals. I did end up putting a camisole under it to get a little more coverage. I ordered one magenta and one black one because I liked it so much. Thumbs up!

Dress fit nice and had a bit of a slimming effect, as my lower body tends to be a bit chunky. I think the dress runs big for size, got a Medium and I am 5'4" and weigh 155, and it's definitely not too tight. Got the surreal green color, and will wear it to a beach wedding in South Florida in June.

Overall this is a great versatile dress in beautiful colors, that may be dressed up or down, that I will get a lot of wear out of, that fits me well and would flatter many (I agree with the others, you need at least a medium bust) but with one big caveat: The caveat is that for me at least it is very low necked and it only worked because I happen to have a bra, with a little fabric panel attached between the cups, that covers the cleavage. Otherwise it would be way too low necked and totally unwearable. A tank top would be really awkward I think, because the bodice of the dress is fitted. I think it would bunch or ride and be uncomfortable and bulky. Like I said, I love it, but it only works for me because I happened to have a special bra. I'm pretty large busted so not sure that makes a difference or not.

This dress is definitely not made for girls like me with very small breasts - I am in the range of a A-B cup (5'7", 155 pounds, 30" waist) and am usually a medium or large, but I actually had to exchange the medium for a small, which fits just right except that it goes up into my armpits just a tad too tightly. The length on the small did not seem to change, though, which was the big concern I had about ordering a small. I think I will keep it - I am super picky about dresses, which is why I only own one at the moment, so the fact that I would consider keeping this says a lot! It is really soft, and is more modest than most of the summer dresses that I can find these days. The Prussian Blue is gorgeous, too! It is also kind to breastfeeding and postpartum mommas like me with fluctuating weight and loose skin and all the weird lumps and sags that pregnancy imparts.

Cute dress with a flattering fit. Not too much coverage for the girls here, so you may need to wear a cami underneath it. Also, I'm kind of in-between sizes and ordered up. I'd suggest ordering down instead, as the sizing is generous. Lovin' the earthy green and the price tag! I'm about to order another.

A small fits me perfectly and I am 5"2, 120 lbs, and a 32D. It is very flattering on me, but as others have noted, you need to have something in the chest department to fill it out. Nice soft fabric. I got the Prussian Blue Heather color and it is beautiful and a bit unusual.

Love it! Great fit, flattering. Good quality. Want in other colors!

Great casual dress. Can't wait for warm weather so I can wear this. Fits true to size. I'm 5'5, 120# and ordered a small. I'm curvy and this dress accents the curves and holds me in place.

Great dress! Fit is very flattering (for us big chested ladies)...would be better if there were a petite choice...but, I live with that blessing. Going to wear it to a beach wedding in Costa Rica in April. :)

Comfortable lightweight relaxed summer dress. I like the light blue color. I am 5' 6" 145 lbs and the medium fits me. Some of the other reviews complained about a "low cut" - seems to works fine for an A cup without the need to add in a camisole or tank top underneath. The dress hides extra belly weight. The dress hits me a bit above the knee. This is not a show off your figure, super fitting, fancy dress but it is modest, comfortable and relaxed. It also has pockets on both sides of the dress.
