This dress (purchased in dark blue and also a green, geometric print) is a perfect, lightweight, summery dress. The back detail adds interest and separates it from a few other dresses I have, from other sporty companies. I'm sure it'll pack and travel well. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because I would really appreciate a pocket on it somewhere!

I love this dress. I wear it hiking. I love the color and the fit and the style. I wear it with bike shorts underneath and the skirt is flared enough to hide the large phone stuck in my hip pocket. I took off one star because I do not love the swimsuit fabric. I am 5’7” 135# and the medium is a little big on me but I like the extra room for all the stuff I put in my pockets.

This dress is super cute! I love the design of the back and how it is open in the shoulders. It is the perfect length to feel comfortable going out and about, doing a variety of activities. I do wish there was a bit more shape in the chest and that the band around the cups was a bit more relaxed. I found the small to be a bit tight in the chest, but sizing up would have been too large.

Overall, this is a cute style dress and I'd love to see more cute but sporty dresses!

Please note, I received this item at a discount as an employee of Carve.
