I am a picky person and this dress was something I fell in love straight away. I owe it in 4 colors and its all I wear whole summer in our hot and humid Arlington, VA ( Washington, DC) area. Recommended to my friends and they absolutely love it!

Very comfortable. I have 3 colors and these dresses have become my summer uniform. It always looks unwrinkled, fresh and cool. Perfect length. I have recommended this dress to several people and always get compliments.

Love this dress. I bought it 4 years ago and wear it all the time in the summer instead of shorts. Great for travelling because it is lightweight. I always get compliments and people want to know where I got it. Can wear it with sneakers, flip flops and heels. Also, it covers my bra strap which is an added bonus. Still looks new even though I have worn it alot.

I have just bought this dress in black and khaki mainly for hiking, dog walking and camping but I just don't want to wear anything else now so wish it came in more colours. Not sure whether to get the blue as the website shows two very different blues (mid blue and a very pale blue) so not sure which one is the correct... I am 5'8" and 158lbs and I bought the large which is a relaxed fit and so far I've just worn it loose, without the waist cinched in. I even wore it to an evening drinks party dressed up with high wedges and a long necklace and felt it looked good. Even my teenage daughter commented on how nice it looked!

Amazing!! Got this dress for an upcoming trip. I’m a minimalist packer (read carryon only). I’m always trying to tweak what I can pack so things are multifunctional. This is so light weight! It was colder day here, but I wanted to try it out, so I used the elastic to keep it shorter length. I wore over leggings and boots with a sweater and scarf. I’m planning on taking to a warm weather trip where I can use as a casual day dress. I also ordered the black one(Zappos didn’t have, so got it from REI). If you have to get one, I would recommend the black, with jewelry and nice shoes could dress up for a dinner or wear with sneakers during daytime for getting coffee or sightseeing. Keep in mind, by “dress up” I mean a nicer dinner, but not a formal event. Love this dress!!

I bought this dress in black a few years ago and just love it. Great for travel as it does not wrinkle and dries fast after washing. The new dress I just received was a bit wrinkled from the packaging and I am hoping that it is because of packaging and not the material.
I noted some comments that the older style pills however mine has never pilled. I don't know, maybe because it never goes in the dryer, I hang it to dry.
The color "Castaway" is not as shown. It is more of a teal green and not an aqua. Still a beautiful color.

I absolutely love this dress. I have owned another color for a year and wear it constantly. For reference, I am 5'4 and 125 lbs and the small fits perfectly. It is easy to dress up or down. Highly recommend!

I received the revised version of the Contenta dress and could not tell what has been revised. I weighed the revised and the previous version and found the revised version is much lighter. The previous version weighs 148g whereas the revised version weighs 117g. The fabric has a much better feel as well.
Contenta is my favourite dress for travelling. I like the Soltera dress but it weighs 182g although this is already light weight. Savona dress is 165g. Travelling in the previous version of Contenta is a delight for it is only 148g and this new version is only 117g! I can pack this dress into my backpack or the Index 10+10 bag and travel light. This dress dries very quickly.
I like the design for it is comfortable to wear, functional, easy to pack, great for travelling, can wear it to work and on weekend. Savone is another flattering dress but the back design is not quite suitable for the office.
The previous version pill after a few wash but I don't think this revised version will. The material has improved.
If Arcteryx is going to further revise this dress in the future, I would suggest lengthen it a bit. I find the Roche skirt has the best length.
The strength of this dress is the weight. You won't believe it until you fold it and hold it in your hands.

I can't say enough about this dress. I am a huge fan of Arcteryx, I have a few jackets and other clothing, but this dress might be my favourite item yet.
I love everything about it. I love it so much that I bought two. I might even consider a third if it ever came in a darker green. ;)
