My husband surprised me with this dress as a gift after watching me eye it in the store, and I can't say enough good things about it. I can wear it to work, or just around town, it's easy to dress up with flats or dress down with Chacos, and it looks so good with a pair of leggings underneath for hikes when it's chilly. Great for travel too, and the hidden waist cinch is genius. For reference I am 5'8", 141lb, and got a size small.

I love the new design of this dress. I have a thin, athletic build and the higher neckline is way more flattering. I have purchased two of these dresses for me and one for my daughter. The only change I make post purchase is to add a toggle cord lock to the elastic drawstring. (This should be part of the design.)

Awesome casual dress. I wear it in the summer quite a bit and it's also perfect as a swim cover up because it's so light and quick drying. It's really a perfect travel dress.

Very cute, casual, & I can imagine the light, quick-dry fabric being great on a trip. I think the Large fits more like size 10-14.

I am 5’6 135 and 50yrs Love this dress. It is a moderate cut so it was appropriate to wear to work (teacher) I have also worn this dress out and about for several different occasions. From work to fun.

I wore the black version last summer while traveling and when I got home. Easy to care for, air dries almost instantaneously without wrinkles. Was so excited to find more colors. I just got the Ixora which is a deep pink/magenta. I plan to take both on a long trip this spring and won't need much else besides a scarf and blue jeans.

Love these dresses for traveling and everyday. Take up no room, don’t wrinkle, and can tolerate the hot Texas summers. The red is my second color. I had previously bought the black as well and use it all summer long. Black is more versatile, the red is a nice, rich, bright color though. I had previously also bought the grey, but didn’t keep that as I found it a little less “forgiving” with my weight.

Fantastic dress! Very flattering fit. Easy to dress up for work and casual for the weekend. Other reviews noted a bit of tightness in front of the arm pits and I feel it too though it’s not terribly bothersome. I’m petite and curvy and the fit works well on me.

My third color in this dress. It is a favorite for summer. Very light, packable and wrinkle free. I hang dry this and it's ready to wear. Very comfortable. I pair it with a cardigan for cooler nights. Easy to dress up or down.

Love this. It is featherweight. Will be so great for travel. The drop waist style is one that suits me. I am dead center between a medium and a large (5'9", 152 pounds, 39-31-39) and I got a large, not a medium. Glad I did... The relaxed fit works on this style. I can see this as being a great city touring outfit. Or perfect for a cruise. Dress it up or down. Wish they made it in navy! Might buy another color.

Perfect for everything! Strong, technical, cool and lightweight material makes this truly versatile. I could see myself wearing this in so many ways - an easy hike in summer, travelling, as a cover up at the beach, casual lunch outings or dressed up for dinner. So cute and versatile - the waist drawstring gives you two very different looks. Fits true to size - I'm 5'7" and 140lbs and the medium fits perfectly. The green "shorepine" colour is a nice neutral. LOVE IT!

I want to totally love the Contenta Dress but there is one thing that is only slightly uncomfortable when reaching forward the under arms are a bit tight. Otherwise the dress is incredibly comfortable and light weight and the perfect length for me at 5’4” and 123lbs. I ordered a small. If I exchanged it for a medium to address the arm pit tightness, it would be too big. I will keep it for sure because it’s so cute and it has pockets.

Simply the best summer dress ever! Lightweight, wrinkle-free, easy to wash and dries in minutes. I got a Large and am large chested ( DD). It fits perfectly. The cinch waist is a great feature. I cinch mine, so there is more definition. Got the black and a blue-green color last year. I wear them all the time. Will buy more this year!
