    Love this Dress

    This is exactly what I've been looking for…I live in a large city where I'm out and about walking most days. I need clothes that are as cool and comfortable as shorts but not shorts! This dress is perfect! The fabric is smooth , holds its shape, and doesn't cling. I bought all 4 colors and washed on...e to compare for shrinkage- no shrinkage! Hung it to dry as per the instructions and it dried in 4 hours with no wrinkles! Will be wearing it casually as pictured and also with sandals and a jacket. Runs true to size. I'm 5'6" ,115 lbs and bought a S. The length is about 1-2" above my knee.

    Runs small, wish it came in petite

    I have this dress in black, blue, and grey. I am usually a Small, sometimes XS. But the small in this dress was way too clingy in all the wrong places. At 5'3", the small length was OK. The medium is a better fit, but is too long, hitting mid-knee. Wish it came in petite (at the time of this review,... there is only rose color in petite). I like the quality enough that I'll probably keep and spend the extra $ to have them hemmed.

    Just what I was looking for!

    I'd been on the lookout for a casual yet stylish dress, and this one hit all the marks. It's slightly fitted but not "skinny fit," hits just above my knee, and moves easily. I'd been looking for something casual, but not overly sporty, and this dress hits the perfect balance. It's comfortable without being frumpy, lightweight without feeling cheap. Love it!!

    Like this a lot, very comfy. Would be nice to have pockets and wish the sleeves were a bit longer. For short people, this is knee length. lol

    These are my favorite tee dresses. I own now in several colors. They are body hugging, yet look fantastic on. I am between a medium and large on top and sized up to a large for a less tight fit. #sweepstakes

    I was very surprised by the poor quality and fit of this dress. I didn't realize it was final sale. Sent it straight to the trash. I expect more from Athleta.

    this is cut pretty straight and I have some bulges. I just have to lose a little bit more weight and it's going to be perfect.
