Customer Reviews The North Face Ea Arque Hike Dress

I love this dress and wish it fit but it is sized in a way that I think would be hard for anyone to wear. I am 5'1" 110# and generally thin and athletic with full but not large breasts. The XS could barely slide over my hips but, once it was on, it fit everywhere except for my chest. Too tight. I may have stuck with it but the thought of pulling it on and off every time I wanted to wear it or use the bathroom was not appealing. I would struggle very hard. I tried the small and it went on much more easily but was much too big everywhere. If you have the body for it, it is fantastic shape, color and material and would be very handy to have for hot days when you want to look cute while exercising.

Known this dress in 5 different colors !

Hi! I love this dress! I own it in 5 different colors . It so meant to be fitted but I order a medium so it's not super snug. Love the built in bra and spandex. I wear it everywhere-working , walking, out to dinner etc. The bra area is a little large for me in a medium so depending on what I am doing I may wear a coordinating sports bra underneath. It also can change the look of the dress a bit such as adding more color or white to brighten your skin ( I'm pretty tan )

I. Love. This. Dress. I get so many compliments on it! it's so comfortable, and fits me like a glove! I love how the back is slightly longer than the front so my butt is completely covered. I am 5'9 and ~175lbs. I wear size M in typical clothes and I'm about a 36 C cup. the no padding in the bra area really isn't a big deal for me. the snugness of the dress allows for plenty of support!

I love how the built in shorts have pockets. The material of the dress is form fitting, so makes everything look nice. Lots of support so need need to wear a bra.

I use this dress for hiking in the White Mountains. The inside romper is a bit hard to pull up over my butt/hips (and I don't have extra junk in my trunk) but once over that area it's fine. I find most North Face leggings to be tight in the waist so perhaps the romper follows the same sizing in the waistline area. 5'1" 100lbs slim petite athletic build, I bought XS and it fits nicely.

Super comfortable, don't feel the constant need to Tug down or up. Wore it for vacation with light hiking. Great fabric! Pockets in the shorts! Wish the shorts underneath were a little tighter.

Cute and flattering. A little tight to pull up over my hips, but once it's on very comfortable. Great for traveling. Doesn't wrinkle. I was nervous about the color but with summer tan looks good! I'm 5'8" and 160lb for reference.

This hike dress is so comfortable and flattering. It fits like a glove. Several strangers have inquired abt my dress. One man ordered one for his wife right in front of me. (LOL). I helped him pick out the color! Wore one to the Beyonce Renaissance Tour. It was the best thing to wear is all that heat!

I absolutely LOVE this dress! I completely agree with the issues noted, I have to remove the dress to use the bathroom and it is snug going up and down over my hips, BUT! It's worth it!!! It's a beautiful fit. I am 5'7" and 125 lbs and got a S. I love the pockets, they fit a phone, keys, lip balm, but a phone would be noticeable. I just carry my lip balm. Anyways, I'm getting another one right now!

fits great and feels extremely comfortable

Bought this for my fianc and she absolutely loves it!

I love this dress so much! I feel like the fit is true to size, and the built-in shorts are perfect. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but after wearing it hiking a few times I'll probably end up buying every color way they come out with. Great quality, awesome style, 10/10!

This is the perfect dress for camping with built in shorts and fast drying material.

It's very cute and flattering. I am a usually a size medium and got a M. It is a bit on tighter side but it's stretchy so if you want a loser fit then size up. I am 5'2 so the inside shorts are a bit long on me (made for people who are taller and with longer torsos) but it's not a big deal since you can pull them up a bit and it looks just fine.

Easy pull on style that's great for activities or just running around on a hot day!

I love the dress how it fits good Quality just love it

Wish it had a built-in bra, but a super comfortable dress! Lightweight fabric that doesn't feel sweaty in the sun.

A little hard to get on and off so probably not the greatest for extreme hiking but I still like it. Its comfortable and great for casual days running around or on vacation. I wish they hadn't put the pockets in the under shorts. They create more bulk than I like. Still cute though.

I am 5'4, 160 lbs, 34 DD, pants size 8, athletic build, and wow I LOVE love love how this dress looks on! I get lots of compliments and feel super confident in it. However, it's quite hard to get on and off. Not so challenging that I don't wear it, but going to the bathroom is a little bit of a struggle. Another thing that isn't absolutely perfect is the short-liners. My thighs hardly ever fit comfortably in a size medium so it was not a surprise to find that the liner is tight & rolls up on my thighs when I hike. Because of how the shorts fit, I find that I use the dress more for casual wear vs hiking- but I do still hike in it sometimes! Overall, it is so flattering that I don't care about how it isn't perfect and definitely plan on purchasing more colors.

I LOVED the way this dress looks, but the lack of adjustable straps means that there is extra material at the top that doubles over in the chest area. It looked weird and would have been resolved with the ability to shorten the straps, but since I couldn't, I had to return the dress.

I wanted to love this dress but the fit is off. I tried both a L (my normal size) and an XL. The XL was too big and the L was too small (in spots). Just an odd fit. Not for me

This dress is very comfortable. However, I had to return it because it looks like summer pajamas.

A 5 star for cuteness and 1 star for wearability. I am 5'1" 111# with 19% body fat and an athletic, slim build and 34C cup size. I always wear a size 0 or XS in all clothing. The size S was easy to pull on and off but was baggy in my waist and chest and looked too loose (flared out) in the hips. The XS looked great on and fit well aside from being a little tight in the chest however it so difficult to pull on and off that I rarely wear the dress. Knowing what I am up against if I have to use the bathroom is a real deterrant to wearing the dress. One must have a very specific/unique/tiny hip and butt to wear this dress comfortably and look good in it.
