This dress is so perfect for the hot Summer time! True size, perfect fit and very nice orange color.

Bought this dress while traveling in Sweden. It is the ultimate travel dress as it is lightweight, dries quickly( washed it in the evening and was dry by morning), never wrinkles, and has huge pockets. Looks great with sandals or sneakers. I also wore it with a sweater over the top on some chilly days and still looked great. Hits me right above the knee at the perfect length and I am a size XS. Can dress it up for dinner or walk around sightseeing or hiking all day. I am officially obsessed and am going to buy all the colors!

I love this dress, it fits me perfectly and the built in drawstring makes it adjustable and flattering. Two small front pockets are very handy, the fabric is super light and dries fast — perfect thing to wear in warm weather to hike and go places with my dog& i dont have to worry about stains or wet dog paws! I live in this dress& have purchased another in a different color, hoping for more colors and maybe more designs in this same fabric. Im 5 ’ 4 ”, 130lbs& got the medium

Bought as an alternative to athleisure. It's way cute and as easy to wear as shorts and a t- shirt but looks elevated. For running around, it's a great choice. My daughter has it in several colors.

Very nice fabric, I love all of the garden island and hemp fabrics from patagonia. This is super oversized, I ordered a size down to a medium and it is still big on me. I have a B bust so I ’ d recommend buying based on your bust size and not hip size. I have large hips and I sometimes have a hard time wearing large bottoms, there ’s plenty of room for my 45in hips in the medium. It ’s super low cut and so I ’ ll probably modify it per patagonias recommendations on their site to make the straps a bit shorter.

[ This sweet shift dress is flattering and comfortable! The muted denim pattern just looks like summer. The cut is great, open neckline and arm holes are just right; can ’ t see a bra! I will sometimes size up in a button up but don ’ t need to in this dress, no gaping buttons in my normal medium. Another keeper, thanks Faherty!

5 Jenna W.
[ This is one of those dresses that you will wear until it has too many holes to repair.... and then you will wear it ONE more time.

5 Patrick M.
[ Works for a little escape. Not sure what she thinks but I think she looks beautiful in it.

5 Stephanie N.
[ Beautiful material as always. Runs long and a little thin. Sized down. Originally bought my normal size but the chest fell below my bra. Sized down and it is a bit fitted in the stomach but I like it so much, it fits well enough and has stretch. Feels like an easy throw on for all different types events.

5 Leah H.
[ I can tell this will be a dress that I wear for years to come! Looks exactly as pictured and made impeccably well. Definitely size down at least one size( maybe 2!), you will have a lot of extra room!
