Customer Reviews Columbia Anytime Casual™ III Dress

Tight fit. It's definitely not for warm weather. I live in AZ, bought this for a trip to CO. and I'm sure it'll be fine for cooler weather. But, I can't wear it in the summer.

I am still trying to decide if I like this. the fit is a little strange. I bought a small and it fits well it just seems a little poofy in the front.

Cute dress, I liked the first version better with cinching on both sides. Runs tight through the cfest

I like the dress once I finally got the correct size. I believed the online reviews and decided to order a size smaller based on reviews that it ran large. It did not. It runs very true to size. Returns are a MAJOR HASSLE and you will be out the price of TWO dresses for some time, so be sure to order your true size.

Odd material , arrived extremely wrinkled - trying to figure out if I even can iron it

I wanted this dress to be so cute, unfortunately, it wasn't for me. I am 5'2" 150lbs and ordered a large based on the reviews I read. Essentially, this dress looked like an oddly-shaped potato sack on me and didn't do anything flattering, which is so sad because I really wanted to like it! I think if I'd gone a size smaller, it would have been tighter than I'd like. It was also pretty long on me, and the bunching on one side just looked awkward. The material is also not what I expected. I don't know how to describe it, other than it wasn't as soft as I wanted it to be (maybe I subconsciously expected cotton rather than what this is made of?). Regardless, I couldn't make the sizing/fit work for me so it will be returned.

This dress runs a bit small and is quite tight through the chest and I am not busty.

I wish this was as good a product as their previous edititiins of this dress. It doesnt lay nearly as well around the arms and the v neckline in place of the round one is more revealing which I'm not hapoy about since I wear these dresses by themselves or with Tommy Bahama linen jackets for pretty much all occasions. Also, the new pockets (maybe unless the dress is super loose on you, fold really weird iver your stomach and create all sorts of creases even without anything in them. Then i put my phone in my pocket and it looked like i grew some male organs... it's such a bad design! For the first/sec9nd editiin,,id gladly guve 5 stars in fit and material. This one gets 3 as the material is the same and its not a total loss, but yeah, the new cut/design is really poor to say the least. I'm really bummed as I had 4 of the previous designs and loved them so much! Wore them everywhere with everything. They make the perfect travel dress too... this one a far cry. Bought 2 - grey and tusk. Sad to return the grey one.

Fabric is thick and not comfortable and bulky at the arm pits. Not flattering.

Looking for a simple dress to be able to pull over and wear at the beach, trail, or out. But disappointed due to awkward fit and bulk.

Terrible plastic feeling fabric and runs small. Returned immediately

The fabric was rather stiff and did not drape nicely.

Cute cut/style, but material felt like a windbreaker. If it was knit jersey, it would be 5 stars. - Returned! -

I love the cut/style. However, the material is like a windbreaker. Jersey would have been perfect for this dress. -Returned-

Not sure why it says to size down. This dress runs small. Will be returning.

Too small - The color was that of a hospital scrubs - not as shown - returning

Web site was not correct with sizing, disappointed I had to pay to have this shipped back

The fit is over-generous, and fabric is somewhat stiff. Yet, the fabric would dry quickly, so it would be a great travel dress. Don't love the color either -- a blue grey.

The fit in the arms was odd - seemed a bit too large because the material puckered. Not just a little bit but a lot. Returned the item.

Cute dress nice fit very light weight. Runs big I'm 5'7 1/2 148 pounds ordered a Medium it was too big- got a small it was perfect.

This dress looks great on the model but puckers on the shoulders. I will be returning

I really wanted to like this dress, it's so cute! But there is no give in the fabric and if you have anything in the chest, the fabric does not stretch. The rest of the dress fit well but not going to wear it if the bust is too tight.

Color sage is pretty and fit is good. I've been wearing it a couple months. Everything stains it. Spots on front from cleaning dishes in kitchen, just out in garden, walking and underarms from my all natural deodorant. I wash it cold in fragrance free detergent and hang dry. Never had these stains before in the other 4 dresses previously purchased. Very disappointing!
