This linen dress is perfect; true to size on the top for definition, a little more relaxed at the hip for comfort and freedom of movement, and pockets! For reference I'm 36C/5'1" and the (S) is a good fit. It hits right above the knee. I've tried A LOT of summer linen dresses from other companies an...d this one is by far the best. The lining avoids the see-through look. Retreat linen (I have multiple wide-leg pants that I have already travelled with) is good quality. It washes beautifully, can hang to dry, doesn't stretch or wrinkle significantly like a lot of linen, and is breezy and cool for hot summer days. While I love "racer-backs", it's great not to have to travel with multiple bras and the design can be styled for day or dressed up for night. Good addition to the Retreat Linen line, Athleta! More colors please!
I had high hopes that this dress would work for me if I ordered the regular length and not petite, despite only being 5'3". However, even the regular length felt too short for me. It went below my fingertips, but not by more than an inch or 2. I was surprised at how short the length was given that I...'m at the bottom of average height, but it was uncomfortably short for me, especially given the wide bottom and the opportunity for it to move in the wind. The length was not listed on the website, so I had no way of determining whether it would be the modest length I was looking for prior to purchase. The fabric was nice, the brown color was lovely and I did like the shape of the dress with the higher neck in front and lower back. Just not for me, but I've learned that many of the shorts, skirts and dresses at Athleta are way too short for my taste.

Super cute for summer, not too short as to look too young. Nice weight linen, cute closure in the back to add interest. Easy to dress up or be casual for every day

Cool summer dress. Generous sizing, I went down to an XS to have a better fit in the chest area. 34 b-c. This dress is lined.

I really want to like this dress. The fabric is a perfect weight and the linen not as wrinkly as some. The lining is a huge plus, especially for the white one. Then of course there are the pockets which I love on a dress. My two problems with the dress are the short length (I am 5'9 but when I sit down, there's not even enough fabric to cover my booty- and my torso is relatively short for my overall height) and the top is tight in the shoulders and arm holes. So overall it's a funny fit on me. I may try a larger size to see if that helps with either issue.

Super cute and lined! I am 5'10" so ordered the tall one. It's still above the knee but not much extra length. Just enough!

Love it! I have it in two colors. The A line is flattering. Fully lined in cotton. I am 5 foot 3, 128 pounds and got a small. It's roomy but that's how I wanted it.

I cannot wait to wear this dress. I thought I wasn't going to like it based off the hanger only because Sometimes the baby doll type dresses don't work for me (despite me loving the look). These are cut in an amazing way to really form a cute "shapeless shape". I loved the white but didn't have in my size so I got the black with all intentions of ordering the white too. These linen feels lightweight as well.

I love wearing linen clothes, it's lightweight and comfortable. The white linen dress is the perfect summer 'go to' that can be dressed up or for casual occasions as well.
