Great dress! Very nice dress. I love the material that it's made out of. I purchased this dress for a trip that I will be making to the virgin islands. I thought it would make a really nice cover up to go from the beach to dinner and I was right.

Fab dress for the summer! Couldn't find this dress anywhere in a store but should of known Altrec would have it. I liked this dress so much I bought a couple of them(would have bought more but didn't have them in my size).It's a dress that one can slip on for any occasion. I have worn my dresses from camping to a wedding rehearsal. Totally low maintenance. I like the way the material flows and is easy to keep clean. The length might seem long, but it gives a nice line and have gotten nothing but compliments when I wear it. Love patagonia-I haven't been disappointed with anything from them yet.

very comfy I will wear this often this summer with flip flops or nicer sandals. It could go into fall with a sweater over it. I had to order a medium because it is a little snug in the hips and a medium is better.

Sexy & Fun This is possibly the sexiest thing to wear & extremely flattering to an hour glass figure. I own the brown & am thinking of ordering myself the black one. So comfortable, but not entirely what you expect looking at the photo. There is an extra tie in the back that is not seen, aside from the one over the neck. The second one middles out in the back so you might end up with a funny tan line ;)

Great and versatile dress! I have worn this dress from everything to a formal dinner, church, traveling, and everyday wear! I chose a size medium--I am 165 lbs., bra size 36B, and it fits perfect. The halter provides ample support for my bust. The fabric is super comfortable and washes and line dries in a few hours.

Great Dress!!!! I really love the fit and the material of this dress. The halter allows you to customize the fit. Just wish it was a little bit shorter, it is just a little bit too long, or else it would be perfect!!

Wonderful, Casual Summer Dress! This dress is so comfortable and and such a flattering cut. It's perfect for hot summer days, but just throw on a cute sweater, and it's uber cute for cooler evenings as well. The material doesn't easily wrinkle, so it's good for traveling.

Nice Dress I love the color (blue sphere) and it is very comfortable. Fits true to size but the fabric like others have said is bathing suit material so be prepared for it to cling to you stomach. After trying it on when it first arrived I felt the need to do an hour long core workout.

And now i have a dress that i can actually wear for OTHER events! its extremely comfortable and flattering, tho i did need to have the hemline brought up about 2.5", i am a size 4

Love, Love, Love... Is it possible to be in love with a dress? This dress has it all....slim, non-clingy fit, bust support, soft and smooth fabric...not to mention that it's low maintenance. I quick handwashing is all it needs while traveling. The perfect everyday/travel/swim cover up dress that can be dressed down or up. I love it and am purchasing it in all colors now.

Great dress! I love my Morning Glory dress. I purchased it at the same time as the Bandha dress, and wish I could just wear them and nothing else. This dress is flattering, and even works for fuller-busted women. It is quite flattering, and makes me feel glamorous even with my tomboy body.

Morning Glory Dress I really like the material. It has a nice movement and has a nice silky feel. It is very lightweight and dries quickly. They should make the dress just a (little bit) shorter version, I think that it would make it more flattering.

Incredible Dress.... This dress is very flattering! The halter is comfortable on your neck and the mid section is not too clingy. I'm 5'7" 122 lbs and the small fit me very well. The tie-back is great to give extra support if needed in the bust area. LOVE IT!

This dress is almost perfect This is, hands down, the most flattering dress I have ever worn. I am tall, with an athletic build and broad shoulders, so a lot of dresses look a little silly on me, but this looks great on, and I feel terrific every time I wear it. I have it in four colors. You can dress it down with sandals or sneakers and wear it to do your gardening, or dress it up (I wore my black one to a fancy black tie dinner with black satin heels). The only thing I would love Patagonia to change is to create another version of this dress that just has an elastic strap but does not tie in the back, because if you wear a sweater over it, the knot from the back tie looks kind of funny. But I don't care -- I either wear it with a shoulder wrap if it's chilly or save it for hot weather. I recommend this dress to practically every woman I know -- and for the price, it's amazing.

THE black dress This is one of those dresses that's a favorite for years to come...it looks good on any figure...I bought 2 sizes, thinking I'd return the one that didn't fit, my friend tried it on and fell in love with it, so it's her fave now too...I'll wear this dress anywhere, and it gets compliments every time...

soness stevens - 2008-03-23
comfy and cute! I love this dress! It's perfect for traveling in summer. It can look casual(beach) or dressy(nice dinner), depending on your shoes. It looks great with a black wrap sweater or with a long-sleeve, sun protecting button down shirt. It lacks bust support, but a halter-top bikini makes it look complete without having to pack an extra bra.

Great Travel Dress I recently was traveling in S.America and I took this dress as one of my "dressy" items. I loved it. Such a great fitting, comfortable, and flattering dress. You can stuff it in your backpack and in a matter of minutes it is wrinkle free and ready to go.

Patagonia makes a great dress (Morning Glory) Very flattering! Although I agree with other reviews about length (could be shorter), I found it to be very easy to shorten, which I did successfully. Now its perfect for day wear, or with a fancy shawl/scarf for evening. Love it.

Great dress It fits true to size. I wear a medium and it fit perfectly. Loved the feel of the fabric and it had just enough stretch to give it shape. I ordered the blue and am very happy with the color. I wore it to a baptism but it could easily go to the beach w/flip flops

Great dress for hot days I love this dress! I wear a size 8 and ordered a medium. It fits perfectly and I do like the length although it is below the knees. The fabric is not clingy, falls very nicely. Definitely worth the money. Altrec shipped the item very fast. Thank you.

Fabulous! This dress is incredible. It fit both myself and my daughter, and we are 2 sizes apart! It minimized any lumps, bumps, whatever, and I felt 100% confident in it. The neckline was flattering, not too low or high, and the fabric comfortable and forgiving. I wear it everywhere, from weddings to brunch. If I could wear the other colors I'd have several.

Amazingly comfortable! I absolutely love the dress! I'm a little short so I need to hem it, but it's so comfortable to wear. I don't normally like halter tops because they dig into my neck, but this one didn't, it was great!

What a perfect dress. This dress is phenomenal. I needed one perfect dress for a 7 month trip that i could wear during beach days, out at night for a nice dinner, and everything in between. This dress fit the bill. It is the most flattering performance clothing dress I have ever owned. I wear between a 6 and an 8 and i found the small to be a good size in Black (the light blue showed too many bodily imperfections in the small). The only drawback to this dress is that you cannot wear it with your pack because there is a knot in the back. Although it is really nice looking, it digs into your back when you wear a backpack. Not a problem though, if you aren't backpacking!

One black dress to have in your closet. What I love about this dress other than the fabulous comfortable fabric, the versatility of it by just changing shoes you get a whole different look, but the tie in the back enables you to adjust the dress to your body/bust.

beware larger breasted women! This is a really pretty dress on, but because of the tie in the back it is impossible to find a bra to go with it - trust me I've tried. I guess you have to be able to wear this dress with no bra, so if you're small breasted or have fake ones this is surely the dress for you.

Good dress, knot on the back of the dress I really like this dress from the front, but was a little disappointed on how the back looks. It goes down to about the middle of your back, and there are straps(at about chest level) that you tie in the back. I know that the tie is mentioned in the description, but I didn't really know what to expect. The tie makes the dress less formal and if you have a covering/cardigan to wear with this dress, there is a lump that sticks out.

smooth and coool This dress is great for every occasion. It was the most versatile item in my suitcase. It went from restaurant attire to swimsuit cover-up the next day and got me through the hottest week of the year in relative comfort. It feels smooth and comfy...one of the best Patagonia dresses ever!

Pretty, comfy and technical too Great material -- silky, drapey but not clingy. True to size (I take a medium in most Patagonia dresses and tops, and this is no exception). It has a nice line, too, with a fitted waist and A-line skirt. The only reason I didn't rate it higher is that I think halters aren't the most flattering on me, but I like the dress so I'm keeping it anyway. (As for the bra issue, I have a backless bra from Victoria's Secret that fits perfectly under this dress, so that's not a problem for me.)

Man Pheromone! Ladies, I wore this dress to a wedding= HOT. Not only did I succeed in getting the hottest single guy there, but I jumped into Lake Michigan with this dress on, got out, and it was dry in about an hour. So, for the wild type wanting a hot dress that can take just about anything, get this dress!
