I have a couple of the Nena dresses from previous years. I traveled all over Italy with one rolled up in my small bag. The fabric on my older versions is slightly thicker and they drape batter. Toad and Co used to create a fully lined bodice area instead of just the front, which helped the dress drape better across the back and shoulders. This thinner fabric is more clingy. Also running a bit smaller than my older ones, which have been washed several times. My older ones are size small. I had to reorder a medium and it still does not drape like my older ones. I am disappointed in the changes so I am sending it back. I would pay a bit more to keep the quality.

This dress is so light and comfortable, I would wear it every day during the summer if I could. I thought it might be too causal for the office, but I think dressing it up with jewelry and maybe a jacket or sweater actually works. I bought the falcon brown, dark turquoise, and coral (though it's more pink--the label on the dress I got called the color "sorbet"). I originally ordered the large size because I am curvy with a larger bust, but it turns out the medium is the right size for me (I wear a 10-12 curvy in most pants). The style is great for my body type, too.

I got the Nena (cap sleeve), size small, black, yesterday. It is very cute, the shape and length work for me (5'3", somewhat little pear-shaped). I could probably even wear the XS, but this works and looks good so I'll keep it. The black isn't the blackest of blacks I've ever seen, but it still works for my purposes (mainly a good travel staple). I just ordered it in other summery colors (on sale!)

Cute, lightweight dress. I plan to take it traveling, as it can be easily dressed up or down.

This is a keeper! Love the style...very flattering...super comfortable and neutral color for all seasons. Can be dressed up or down. I am 5'5", 129# with an athletic build and the medium works. Not super fitted so there is "breathing room" to allow for coolness and a small amount of twirl.

I'm 5'5, 125 lbs and the small fits well. It hits me at the knee, perfect for a lady of a certain age. This is a well made dress, the fabric is not flimsy and the color is true to the photo.

This fabric is light and airy, but substantial enough that it doesn't feel like it will fall apart. It washes well and air dries quickly. It's a dress that could be dressed up a bit or thrown on with flip flops. The cut is so flattering and comfortable.

Not enough words for how much I love this dress, and all my other Toad&Co dresses. Machine washable, y'all! Dress it up, dress it down...very flattering.

This is my second dress by this brand. Again I love the quality of the dress, the length, and the fit in the bust/shoulders. But again it is clingy to my lower tummy. Not flattering. I am returning this but will continue to search for another dress that is comfortable and flattering.

Another winner from Toad & Co! I prefer dresses to shorts in the summer, and I seem to add one or two from this company every year. The fit and cut are just right - hugs in the right places without being tight, and the hemline falls below the knee. Flattering AND comfortable! Love this brand, love Zappos' awesome service!

I bought this dress in the turquoise cove geo print and the fabric is really cute. I am 5'3", 124 pounds, but a little chesty so I ordered a medium and it fits well. It comes below my knee so I had it shortened about 4 inches. Nice casual summer dress.

A dress that will work for many different types of occasions that is extremely comfortable. Super cute and soft. Looking forward to wearing it on warm weather days. I'm 5'8" and 139 pounds 36B and a medium fits perfectly.

This is a very comfortable and attractive dress. I am about 5'3" and the length was just long enough to cover my knees, which is perfect. I had ordered my usual size but found that the back hung unattractively loose so I took a chance and ordered a size down. The top part is probably a smidgen tighter than I would like, but it is okay and the skirt part of the dress fits perfectly, flattering but not too form fitting.

I ordered this dress to wear on vacation and I absolutely love it! Since I am a pear shape, I appreciate the high waist. The material is very soft. It is so cute and very flattering. I am sure that I will get a lot of use out of this dress. I just wish it came in more colors - I would order more!

This dress is simple and stunning. The color is bright, but beware that the lighter color may show imperfections or panty lines. I felt it fell away loose enough to look nice on me. As a tall woman, I love the empire waist and the long length. I'm 6' with a long torso and the dress hits right above my knees. I am loving the Toad&Co empire waist dresses - I bought three styles.

I ordered both a medium and a large in this, expecting one would surely fit. Sadly both went back. I loved the color so I was bummed, but the style and sizing just wouldn't work. I wear a medium in the Rose Marie dress, so I expected the medium in the Nena to be a sure thing. It was too tight in the torso/waist. In the large, it felt like an old lady's house dress. Not just unflattering, but awkward looking. Much too large. The neck opening was lower than I am used to on the Rose Marie. I actually considered keeping the large and having it professionally altered. Ultimately, it just wasn't cost effective. For size reference, I am 5'2, 34D, 40"hips

It might have been too big for me... but it didn't do a lot for my full size 12 figure. I am athletic and curvy and it kind of looked like a Mom dress on me. But then again, I am a Mom and am 49 years old, so what do I expect?

The style of this dress does not work for me. I don't like the panels that hang on a diagonal. I do love many other Toad&Co dresses, however. Just not this one.

I love the style and fabric of this dress, but the color is not even close. The photo for the seaport shows a bright blue dress and the dress I received is a dark teal.
