Customer Reviews Columbia Anytime Casual™ III Dress

The fabric is fabulous! This is a light weight sun dress that is nice enough fabric to wear in the office with a pair of heals. Very nice dress.

So, this material was a bit stiffer than my other Columbia dresses, however, I love that it’s pretty water resistant. There is no stretch.

Loved the dress, nice quality, it just didn't look right on me wish it would have worked out

I loved the fabric and style of this dress, but the cut around my arms was odd. There was a large gap in front and by the straps. I wished it would have worked better! I would have used it a lot for traveling.

Dress is super comfortable. Amazing material, sure to keep me cool in the summer.

This is a really cute dress and I love the pockets. I'd like to use it as a travel dress so I hope it doesn't wrinkle the same as it came out of the box. The pink is striking but I wish it was made for people who are under 5'5. I'm 5'2 and it hits me below my knees. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can hem it.

I just received this dress. I wish it came in petite size because it's a bit too long for me and the drawstring on the side doesn't make it short enough. The pink is very bright and cheery, but it makes me look like an old woman (or an older woman) because it hits me below my knees. I'll keep it because it's comfortable and lightweight and hopefully travels well but I may have to try and figure out a way to hem it up.

I love the dress.It's very sporty & the pink color is very becoming.The length for me at 5'2"was perfect with the drawstring on one side.The drawback is it doesn't come in petite & will have to be altered on the bodice to fit.

For the most part, I really like this dress. It runs true to size. It does run large in the bust area and underneath the arms.

Such a flattering bright blue, thin, light, yet sturdy fabric, great design, and pockets! Runs big though.

Love the dress! The sizing is a little difficult, the large is too big at the top, the medium is tight at the bottom. Wish it had a little more give! Guess I need to exercise more.

I love the color of this dress! I want to love it, but the material isn't what I was expecting, and the fit is a little weird around the arm holes. I am going to keep it to see if a small dart sewn in will fix my issue. I am 5'6", 190#, 38D, and wear a 16, and bought an XL. Fit is accurate.

I liked the styling of the dress, and it's a very pretty blue. It just isn't made for someone with my build. For someone with a smaller chest, it may have draped nicely. For me, the armholes stuck out at an unattractive angle, and my bra showed, so I returned it. Wonderful customer service, as expected.

This dress is really well made and has nice structure and color very happy with it!

Well, this is a first. In Columbia tops, I pretty much always order a large. I'm 5'6", 148, 36B bust, 30 inch waist, big butt, shoulders, and thighs. I can usually get by with a Columbia medium, but I prefer clothes on the loose side, so typically always get a large. I paid attention to reviewer comments on this dress (thank you reviewers!!), and ordered a medium, and frankly wish I'd ordered a small. The shoulder/arm area is too big, and gapes a little, and a closer fit would probably be more flattering. But - I hate things tight, so decided to keep the medium. The fabric is the best aspect of this dress. It is light weight, but substantial enough that underwear elastic, bra bands, and those (for some of us) inevitable lumps and bumps do not show. Miraculous!! It's also somewhat stretchy, and very comfortable. This dress feels more "classy" than the typical summer athletic dress, and the adjustable one-sided ruching adds a nice touch. The pockets are also a highlight - they do NOT make the dress pouch out at all. All in all pretty darn flattering, and I'd recommend.

I have this dress in gray and love the lightweight non-clingy fabric. I receive compliments every time I wear it and I'm a Grandma, 5'7" 165 lbs. I just purchased this second dress since I loved the fit and fabric of the gray. I rated the dress 4 vs. 5 stars since the color is much more green than blue, but not quite light teal. Mine is still pretty, but not what I was expecting, (certainly not as bad as the surgical scrub green one reviewer received). Perhaps the dye lots are off, but my dress is definitely much more green than as shown on the website, so I was a little disappointed.

It just arrived and I love how it fits! I'm going to order another one!! The only criticism is that the sea wave color is more green than picture reflects.

Love the dress but it gapes st the armpit front area.

Love the dress but the color portrayed in the picture is not true. It is a much darker teal color. I still like it but would have liked the brighter color.

Very cute dress. Quick drying material which would be great for traveling. I was concerned my little tummy would show but dress hide it well. Didn't keep because the gray color didn't work for me.

Great travel dress. Very lightweight. Folds up really small. Nice neutral color. Downside is weird overly full area at the underarms.it will be cool and comfortable for sightseeing and on our cruise ship. Just wish the underarms didn’t gap quite as much. I am keeping it, but am a little ambivalent

Love the dress. Can be sporty or upscale casual. Ordered in medium, armholes cut small so reordered in large. Overall to big so kept medium.

Great dress runs small in bust. Fits well thru hips.

One of my favorite dresses is a Columbia style that is no longer made so I decided to try this one hoping it would fit the same; it did not. The fabric is soft and the item is well made but, it just didn't fit right. Wish they still made the other style!!

It's not what I expected but I can live with it. The material is kinda stiff. Maybe it will be better once washed. I usually take a medium and the fit was right on. Not too tight but not loose. I'm 5'5". Will be wearing this dress when I go to the state parks this summer. I really like Columbia. Shipping is fast and customer support is great and good quality.
