Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Cala Dress

Just received this having been impressed with the great reviews and looking for a flattering lightweight travel dress to dress up or down. I'm 5ft 4 and 120 lbs and both the XS and S fit; decided to keep the S. it was very creased when it arrived which I thought would be fine after a first wash but its still very creased. Hand washed it again and drip dried but still no better. Have I just got a bad one or do I need to do something different? I have Arcteryx tops in same material but never this problem. Help!

Wasn't certain about the size, so got both small and medium, small is perfect with even a bit of room left. I didn't expect this dress to live up to the hype, but it's a very flattering neckline. Only quibble would be how loose it is through the middle, but overall, I like it.

I love this dress, but wish it was a bit longer (to the knee). Could Arc'Teryx please make two lengths available to its customers? I am 5'10 and 142 lbs and I would really appreciate a dress like this to the knee. I hope for a longer version in 2020. Otherwise, a lovely dress.

Purchased this dress to go travelling and needed something that travelled well and was a bit dressier than an sundress. It met the requirements. The elastic back keeps the front lines trim however it can be short on some people. Really like the cap sleeves - different than all the other sleeveless dresses out there. Happy with my purchase.

The top is a little stuffy, but the fabric is wonderful. Keeps me cool and nice enough to wear with sandals or flats to my casual IT office in the summer.

This dress is light as a feather. The pockets are great. I liked that is is straight in front but cinched in the back. The color is (to me) an off black. I liked it, but my husband said the sleeves/shoulders looked like something they'd wear in Star Wars. They just stuck out sort of straight and looked weird on me, and he told me he would remind me of that every time I wore it. Could be a sizing issue for me. The L was too small, couldn't get it on. The XL fit but was a teensy bit too big, especially in the arm holes. For that reason plus the price I'm returning. I would consider buying again if it gets marked down. I think it would make a great swim coverup.

On my 5’ athletic frame this very comfortable dress fit nicely excluding the length ending at my knee cap. I would have hemmed it myself but the hem was created by melting the fabric together and I felt for the price of the dress it was not worth risking ruining it with an hem alteration.

Great material, good cut but fit too long (5'2, 115 Sm) Arrived more wrinkled than others mention. For the price didn't want to pay the price to have it altered. Returned.

I ordered this dress because the reviews were so overwhelmingly positive. The cut and style are great and very flattering. So many people reported that the fabric, in particular, was so comfortable. For some reason, I did not like the fabric though. It felt almost plastic-y against my skin, so I returned it.

I am 5'2 and weigh 112 lbs. this dress and all of arc teryx dresses just hang on me. Wish they would come out with a XXS

Le merveilleux tissu promet une robe lgante, mais sa longueur la rend impossible porter en ville. Et personne ne fait de sport en jupe mi-cuisse. C'est un classique au genou qui a t raccourci soi-disant pour faire sport, pour aller une jeune fille de 18 ans filiforme et pas trs grande . La robe doit toutes les autres femmes qui regretteront toujours qu'elle ne sot pas un peu plus longue. Arc'teryx ne dessine que des modles faits pour une trs jeune, petite femme au corps de type pomme, avec des jambes et cuisses maigres (parfaites sous la robe Contenta courte), mais qui en vieillissant va gagner du poids sur le ventre et le dos (parfait pour la robe Contenta rvise, plus longue, mais avec un ballonnement au-dessus de la taille basse et ouvertures trop larges aux aisselles) et qui, quelque soit son poids gardera toujours des jambes maigres (parfait pour les jupes droites courtes). La jupe droite mi-cuisse est une coupe ridicule pour les femmes avec des jambes longues ou mme un peu de cuisses ou de fesses . Quand la compagnie comprendra-t-elle qu'elle aurait intrt varier ses modles, en longueur et aussi en coupe? quand des jolies robes et jupes aux genoux? Une robe longue en polyester Diem? Une coupe en A tombant plus bas que la mi-cuisse? Des pantalons que pourraient porter les files qui ont la cuisse sportive et la fesse muscle? Arc'teryx devrait offrir ses robes et ses jupes en 2 longueurs, comme pour les pantalons (rgulier ou long.) La compagnie verrait ainsi quelles sont ses clientes (pas toutes du mme type corporel.)
