Customer Reviews The North Face Heartwood Dress

This dress fits really good and I can't wait for spring to come so I can wear it!

Other than the fact that it arrived wrinkly - this dress is what it says - comfortable and can really be dressed up or down. I didnt end up wearing it for the event that i purchased it for (but that was due to the fact that it was going to be very humid 95 degrees and i was going to be outside all day with no escape ) However i liked the dress so i kept it for another day. :)

I sized down as recommended by other reviewers and am glad I did - the chest on this dress is quite large. I sewed it closed a bit and that helps. The dress is still flattering and comfy, so I'm keeping it.

I bought 3 of these dresses in the purple, ocean blue, and black. The fit is so flattering (I am 5'8", size M, hourglass figure). They are yoga-comfy, and they have pockets! I'm not sure how they'll hold up over time (hence the 4 star rating); however, because they can easily be dressed up or down, if they do end up pilling/fading a lot, they would still make comfy "throw on and go" errand-running dresses for hot summer days next year or after.

I'm 5'4" and 145lbs and I ordered a medium. It fit well, the straps seemed a little wider than they looked in the picture, but I loved the length and it's so comfortable! I actually bought this dress hoping to be able to breastfeed in it and it totally works thanks to the stretchier fabric and the v neck!

The fabric is very soft, the style is versatile. I can dress it up with heels, or go casual with sandals. It is a bit low cut so wearing a camisole underneath helps.

I got it in blue which was true to what I expected. Flattering...Hides tummy issues and has pockets which are so fun!

I got 3 colors, blue, grey & black. Debated between the XS and S and ordered the S so I would say it fits fairly true to size. Very low cut, which I don't mind. I have a small bust but it fits fine. Soft as a whisper. Washed and wore the grey one a couple times and hang dry. No ironing. Will order a couple other colors too because it's easy breezy and not expensive.

Good casual everyday summer dress. I purchased in three colors. The weight of the fabric varies widely across the various colors. The neckline is a deep V.

This dress was so promising when I put it on; very comfortable, lightweight and flattering. The neckline is a V but wasn't immodest on me and the length was just above the knee. My issue was with the fabric, as even the slightest bit of moisture show significantly. I wore this on a 90+ degree day and while the fabric dries quickly it's very clear if you sweat even a little bit. Despite being made for activity, this will be saved for cooler days only. 5'4 and size 4-6 and a medium was perfect.

This dress looks great on, however there is a very scatchy seam on the inside waistline that makes the dress uncomfortable.

A nice, comfy summer dress that could be dressed up or down. Good for travel or casual dinner. But if you have any chest at all, this isn't the dress for you. Made me look like my boobs were about to fly out of the top. Rest fit really well. Sadly, going back.

I went by the reviews and was disappointed when this dress fit too tight. I'm 5'4", 174 lb (38D) and I'm just not comfortable in the large.

This dress was not for me, the top was too big and did not fit properly.

Runs a size large. I'm 5'9", 220 lbs,and a 14/16, 38DD and the XL was too big on top. The armholes gapped and it's a bit long for my taste. Pretty and comfortable though! Exchanging for a size L.

It was OK but not great on me. I ordered an XL and it was the right size. Something to note - the neckline was a bit looser than I was comfortable with at this time, but if I had ordered this while I was still nursing my children it would have been great. I would recommend it if you are nursing.

Love the style and look of this dress but when it arrived I found all the reviews which state it is cut too low are true. I will have to wear a cami in order to keep the dress.

Almost perfect but super low cut in deepest point of v (half my bra was showing!) and kind of baggy in the bust. I am a 36DD and it was loose. Great fabric, pretty color and very flattering but just a weird fit/cut on top...

Not for tall gals! This dress hit me in all the wrong places and looked terrible. I'm 6' with a long torso. If you're tall, try the Toad&Co empire waist dresses, they're beautiful.

Color is beautiful and fabric is soft and comfortable. Alas, the V neck is cut almost down to my bellybutton, so it had to go back. The wide elasticized waist band is a nice touch. I wish the dress fit!

The color on this dress is gorgeous and it is comfortable but it is a little too low cut around the bust. The dress might work better with a tank top underneath it.

I love the top and waist but the skirt hangs strangely. It tapers in and should have been more circle cut. It hangs more like a sheath dress and not like an A-line. It is going back.

The dress has nice fabric and I like the idea that it would cover bra straps. The style, however, emphasizes the midriff flaws I was hoping it would hide. The lower seam at the waist sits too high, making me look wider than I am. I am between medium and large and the medium was roomy enough. Thanks, Zappos, for making returns easy.

The "surreal green" was anything but.. It looked faded and washed out. The dress was definitely comfy, but at little too much like a cozy night-gown for my taste. Maybe bigger boobs would give this dress more ooomph. :)
