Absolutely a perfect dress!! washes well, wears well and you can dress up or down. I bought it in black and then order the exosphere color. Very comfortable, no see-thru, perfect for the summer. Hopefully it will come back next season in sage or other fun colors. Perfect length, right above the knee, the hidden pocket is very useful for a credit card. I ordered the S first and had to exchange for XS. I'm 5'2", 113 lb. Like that the sleeve hole is perfect, no peeking.

When we used to travel and go to the office... great dress for business travel. Casual enough for sneakers but formal enough for client dinners. Great for hot and humid locales. Packs well with nary a wrinkle.

Amazing fit and feel. I loved the fabric and cut of this dress. I’m curvy 5’0 at 127 lbs and the small fit me nicely.

This fits fantastic & is very comfy; even tho I haven't worn it yet, I will get lots of use ! The collar (love the snaps) & sleeves makes it esp attractive & the elastic on the back give it form for those of us w/ minimal bum ~_> I may just have to order another !

Mit einem schwarzen Ledergrtel mit schlichter Silberschnalle kombiniert ist dieses ein sehr schnes Sommerkleid, das ich sehr gerne trage! Ich htte es am liebsten noch in anderen Farben gehabt, aber da war ich zu langsam und meine Gre war bereits ausverkauft. Jetzt hoffe ich, dass es fr die nchste Saison noch im Sortiment bleibt, dann warte ich mit dem Kauf so lange. Absolut empfehlenswert!

Taille L pour une morphologie de 1,60m et 64 kgs. J'aime sa coupe car elle donne une impression d'lgance, elle me mincit et est trs lgre pour l't. Facile d'entretien, ne se repasse pas. Je la mets pour aller travailler, peut se porter avec un legging aussi.

I was a bit hesitant at first because I'm slightly pear shaped, and the dress looked to be hour-glass shaped. But, surprisingly, it worked for my body type! It's the perfect dress for travel, it's lightweight, doesn't take up much space at all, and moisture wicking. I wore it to Kingston/Toronto during 40C heat wave and the dress kept me cool.

Was very excited to have this dress for travel. Lightweight. Beautiful fit. I'm 5'1" and 119 pounds. Ordered the extra small and it fit perfectly. Unfortunately the only color remaining in my size was the Kirigami. I ordered it thinking it was close to khaki but it wasn't. The color was a more pale fleshy tone. I have darker skin and hair but it still looked awful. Sadly, returning it and hoping color options in my size will become available in the future

I wore this in New York and felt comfortable to go anywhere. Felt stylish and very comfortable. You can dress it up with a scarf but it is very flattering no matter how you accessorize.

Dieses Kleid habe ich in drei Farben gekauft. Die Kleider tragen sich sehr gut und schmeicheln meiner Figur. Ich wrde gern noch weitere Farben kaufen wollen. Der Stoff ist leicht und sehr angenehm auf der Haut. Der Stoff knittert nicht und ist locker luftig. Ich ziehe die Kleider sehr gern an.

This piece is so versatile. Add a scarf and you are ready for the office, Then off for a weekend at the cabin. Quick wash and you can do it all over again! Can't wait for them to be restocked so I can get another colour

This was the perfect holiday item. Lightweight and quick drying it reduced the need to take a large travel bag. It was smart and stylish enough for an evening and cool and practical for sightseeing and hiking.

I purchased the item on whim and was on the fence if I would keep it. It is a little longer (due to my height) than dresses I would normally wear, but the comfort, the great hidden pocket and style of the dress made it too good to return. I'm on the site to buy another!

Very comfortable and flattering. Great for looking put together when doing errands or after a workout. The material is lightweight and sporty so you can scoot around all day and stay cool.

This is a fantastic dress for someone with a large chest and smaller hips. It is so lightweight and would be ideal for travel as it rolls up to the size of a pair of socks. Looks great and so comfortable.

I ordered this dress in a size M (I'm 5'9" 145lbs, athletic build), and I was surprised by how flattering the fit is! Thank you, Arcteryx designers! Please make it in more colors now. :-) I love the look and feel, and have already ordered another one in a different color. The Cloudburst color is actually like a "Periwinkle" color, which is stunningly beautiful.

Reviews are accurate. I wear a 6-8 and got a small which was PLENTY roomy and had armholes a bit larger than I'd have liked HOWEVER -- there is nothing worse and less comfy than when it's a bit too small. First day I walked, hiked, then took a nap in the dress. Got up and went to dinner and felt like a million bucks :) I could have worn it to bed based on comfort but I didn't. Highly recommend. If you have a more athletic upper body it would be really geat given roominess but even with my kind of scrawny upper body, it was still really flattering. LOVE IT. Already recommended to a bunch of friends. To whomever designed this, GREAT JOB.

I ordered this dress in black twice. Originally, I purchased size XS because I was concerned about the possibility of gaping at the armpits and too much puffiness in the back. The fit was fine but I had a little trouble getting it it on over my head due to having broad muscular shoulders from strength training. I returned the SX and re-ordered in size S. This one works. The fit is more relaxed but there is no gaping at the armpits. The dress isn't puffy in the back either and simply drapes nicely. For reference, I typically wear size 6 in athletic tops. I am vertically challenged at < 5'2"and the dress sits above my knees.

I was incredibly pleased with this purchase. I have never had a dress fit me better. It accentuates my waist while giving me plenty of room elsewhere- the lightness of the fabric is ideal, but it also feels durable and well made. The buttons are beautifully placed and offers some variety in style. The zip pocket is brilliant, and the side pockets are deep, but not bulky, or affecting the overall design. This dress is flawless and I hope you continue making more in the same style - i dont have doubles in the same dress, but i would consider it for this one. Worth every penny.
