Customer Reviews Columbia Plus Size Chill River™ Midi Dress

Great dress. Lovely fabric. Has great drake to it. Only bad thing is the interfacing on the top isn't long enough & bunches up in the chest area. So just wear a sweater over. Great swim cover up.

I love this dress. I bought it because it is one of my favorite colors. I am having surgery on my hip soon and plan on wearing dresses for a while. It is comfortable and packable (I travel a lot) the only thing that would make it better is if it had pockets.

I'm 5'8" large frame, plus-size, w/ an hour glass shape and this dress fit me like a body con dress with an excellent drape. Also, the fabric feels soft but not cheap. Not 5 stars because I usually avoid or at least layer body con styles and I don't like to wear shape wear. But, if you're not shy about promoting your assets then this piece is something you might want to add to your wardrobe. Add a cute crop shawl, shrug maybe a dramatic kimono duster or elegant wrap to look tre Chic!

I love the fit of this dress. The neckline is very flattering. The material is thin, but not cheap. Be aware that it does stick in some places. I perhaps should have sized up. I will agree that the liner in the chest is too small. It only covers about half of my chest and rides up, but this was not enough of an issue for me to return it.

Everything is great about this dress except for 1 thing. NO POCKETS! I should have paid closer attention to the description!

I like this dress.. wish it was a little shorter on me but I am 5'3" so everything is a little long. but wears well.

Soft. No pockets. Lining hits at mid-chestawkward.

So soft but strangely cut. There is a piece of fabric on the inside of the dress that may be for covering the chest but it is short. It would have been better as a shelf bra liner if they added elastic instead. The material is luxurious but fits strangely. Using as a sleep dress and it works well.

I bought this for an upcoming trip to Greece, thought it would be good for roaming the ruins, or a boat trip. But at least on me it was too clingy in the mid section, showed every bulge. I usually wear a 1X currently, sometimes in Columbia I do wear a 2X, but even if I sized up, based on the material, it would still be not a good fit for me as even the bust undermatrial was not great fit, I'm a 40 C.

The color was beautiful and the top of the dress fit perfectly in the bust but the bottom was too large and the fabric puckered at the seams. It looked there were pockets but there were not. Additionally the liner in the bust areas was too short and cut right across my chest. Sadly I had to return it.

I am giving up on the Columbia dresses. Please skip their dresses if you are busty. This is the 2nd dress I have had to return. This dress has a weird half-lining in the top of the dress and goes right across the center of the bust. I have a similar issue with their shirts (sizes XXL + Plus)....Columbia makes the items wider, but not longer.

The fabric is too clingy and the built it bra is horrible and sits up too high.

The fabric is fantastic however, the armpit area on the dress is huge! The built in bear liner area is visible through the front & only covered a 1/4 of my chest. Item will be returned. an additional charge was also made to my purchase as the price was "adjusted". Very unhappy!

Dress is light weight and fits well, but. There is fabric on the bust that is supposed to be some sort of built in bra material. It's sized for a double AA cup and falls very short showing a line across the chest? Needs to be much longer or no fabric at all. Although the dress is nice, this is a deal breaker
