Patagonia Women's Bandha Dress Reviews Page 2

beautiful
March 09, 2010

I was looking for a dress for my 14 year old daughter to wear to her 8th grade graduation. It was a little shocking to see all the dresses on line and in the stores that I guess they think are acceptable for young girls. Being obsessed with comfort this dress seemed like (from all the other reviews) it would be a great choice for her. It fits her beautifully and I think it will be a great dress to wear in May in Arizona. It has beautiful lines...and now I think I will be looking for a dress for me from Patagonia as well.

Perfect dress!

This is what I'll be wearing all summer long. It fits perfectly, color is great (forged grey), the material is lightweight yet substantial enough and not flimsy, cut is excellent, very flattering, formfitting - nothing falls out! I'm 5'4 and 110 pds and the XS fits like a glove!

like it!

Nice fitting dress. Snug at the chest and looser at the waist and hip (not clingy). It's a little long (mid-calf), but nothing some hemming can't fix.

Patagonia Bandha Dress

I love this dress! It fits well, travels well, washes well -- highly recommend it for travel! It can be dressed up or down, depending on need. I wish it came in many more colors; also wish it came in a 3/4 sleeve version!

The perfect dress
November 05, 2009

Love this dress! I am 5'9" 130lbs. and the small fits perfect. Casual with flips and dressy with heels. LOVE IT!

Nice dress
October 29, 2009

This dress is super comfortable. For the petite people in the world, it runs a little long, but it is not that bad at all. The dress is also very versatile.

Versatile, great on many body types
October 28, 2009

Very wrinkle resistant and easy to travel with. Your normal size will be loos on hips, size down for form fitting. Dress stays in place when you are active.

Very Nice Dress
October 23, 2009

I ordered this dress for my fiance`. She really likes it and I do too - It looks great - casual, but sexy! Her measurements should have just fit in a small size, but it was tight. The medium worked fine.

Surprised, but love it!
October 10, 2009

This dress was much longer than it looked in the pic. I didn't take note of the measurements and wasn't expecting a below the knee dress. I do love it. Can wear it to work or anywhere!

Flattering and comfortable
October 03, 2009

I really like the fit of this dress. I have a smaller bust and find the bodice to be very flattering but not revealing. It's also a great fabric and super comfortable. I like that you can dress it up or down as well. Overall, a great buy.

comfortable, flattering, low maintenance
October 02, 2009

Very comfortable wearing all day. Low maintenance, form-fitting around torso, flattering, a-line shape

Great Dress.....Very Flattering
September 24, 2009

I love this dress. I bought it for a rehearsal dinner and wedding. (separate weddings). I am 5'7" and weigh 145 and a medium fits me great. I am pretty small up top. I am most likely going to purchase one in another color.

Amazing
September 12, 2009

This is the sexiest dress you will ever own. It makes one look awesome! The material hangs well, fit is amazing. Can be dressed up for a fancy party or dressed down for a day trip.

Longer than I thought but I love it anyway.
September 03, 2009

The length makes it more formal than I was hoping for, but its still a great dress and I'm sure I'll get plenty of use out of it.

great dress. fits well. LOve it.
August 22, 2009

Very comfortable. Easy to wear. Love the fabric. No wrinkles. Flattering on figure.

Love it !

super comfortable!
August 14, 2009

bought this dress for a wedding but now i wear it everywhere. very comfortable!

just great
August 11, 2009

Bought this for a wedding and it was perfect! Cute, comfortable, and true to size.

A great multipurpose dress!
August 04, 2009

I bought this dress for travel and work. It is comfortable and flattering. It can be rolled up in a pack and comes out virtually wrinkle free. Because it is form-fitting, follow the advice of several reviews and wear a camisole under it. I can't wait to buy more colors!

Awesome, but...
July 23, 2009

I have the bandha top, and I love it to death. I'm rather large busted, so it's hard for me to find shirts that are classy and conservatively complement the ladies. I bought this dress hoping it would fit like the shirt, and while the twisted top was great, the rest of the dress was another story. It's like this dress is designed for someone of the pear shape variety who has an extremely long torso. I'm 5'5", and the hips fell well below my hips and bulged out on the seam. I took the dress to the lady who altered my wedding dress, and she was bewildered by the curvy seam on the edges. She was able to take it in and fix it for me, but I kind of expected a little more from Patagonia. I actually bought this dress for my friend to wear as a bridesmaid dress, and she had many of the same problems, including a panel being sewn inside out - the material has different looks on each side, and she said all the panels were uniform except for one. It'll be a great dress, but just be cautious and expect to have to get it altered, if you're up for it.

Not Flattering
July 16, 2009

Great service and prices at Altrec. However, the Bandha dress was not flattering at all. I'm an hourglass shape; it smooshed my chest and flared out too far at the hips. Also, the fabric was rather coarse. I sent it back.

great fit
July 08, 2009

like its great fitting and no wrinkles!

Love it!
July 06, 2009

Love this dress! Comfortable & versatile. Flattering too. true to size.

Great Dress
June 29, 2009

It is really comfortable. I love the length. I ordered one size up.

perfect summer dress
June 27, 2009

I love this dress. I've worn it to work and just for running around this summer. It's easy to wear, incredibly comfortable, and flattering.

I'm returning it
June 26, 2009

I was so excited about this dress because the majority of the comments were so positive. The moment I saw the dress I was disappointed. Thick shiny polyester. Hoping putting it on would make it better, I put it on. Yuck. I am 5'10" and it was too long for me. I could deal with the length and the cut, but I can't get past the awful fabric. Oh well, I was really hoping for something nice here. Instead I saw two similar dresses at REI. One by REI and another by the Horny Toad. I got the REI dress, b/c the Horny Toad one wasn't in my size. Both are much better than this one.

Great Dress
June 12, 2009

This is a fantastic dress, it fits true to size, the length is good and the feel of the fabric is great!!! Love it!!! It's going with me to Italy!!!!

Love this dress
June 09, 2009

It fits true to size, is made of great material, easy to wash & wear. I plan to get one in blue, black and red.

Great for work
May 26, 2009

I have two of these dresses. They are great for work and machine washable which is important because I am a physician and things can get a bit messy at work!

Love this dress
May 15, 2009

Great material, not so clingy that it shows figure flaws but still flows. Cut is flattering. The knot on the bodice adds interest.

beach cover up too
May 11, 2009

great longer length and fabric for use over my swimsuit, size 8, 5'7" and large fits well.

cute and comfy
May 01, 2009

I really liked this dress. It falls a little bit longer- mid calf on me and I'm 5'3". Tea-length would have been a bit more flattering, but I think I will not hem it because it's fun to have a longer dress. The knot in front is flattering on a small-bust.

Dress for all occasions!
April 28, 2009

I just bought a second Bandha dress, so I now have one in cranberry and one in black. I will wear these to all sorts of casual events. I agree that it's a bit snug and you might want to get a size larger, otherwise it might be too snug at the top.

Too long
April 28, 2009

I am 5'10" and the dress is below my knees. IT is not a great length for my liking. However, loved the fit and the material

Too Small
February 19, 2009

I wear a size 12, and this dress is way to snug for my preference. The definition of large doesn't appear to be the same for Patagonia apparel as with other brands I've purchased here.

Awkward Length
November 29, 2008

Comfortable dress, love the fabric but an awkward length for me. I am 5'7" 130 pounds- the medium fit well but it had to go back. I love, love, love the Patagonia Morning Glory dress!

perfect
September 24, 2008

style works for dress-up occasions and anywhere. The fabric feel is wonderful

Husband LOVES it!
August 28, 2008

This dress makes me feel pretty and fit. I am 5'7.5", 150 lbs size 10, avg. breast, straight hips. This is a large and fits great! Very flattering. I like the idea someone suggested with a camisole to smooth out the little central bulges that occurs under bra. Blue black is awesome. ORdering black as well. I never wear dresses and this is IT. GREAT for travel. Thanks for the tip on washing in woolite and hand dry.

Love it!
August 15, 2008

This is a great dress. I have a Bandha top so I knew the dress would be fab too. I'm 5'8" and 135 lbs, and I bought a medium and it fits beautifully. Great fabric, feels very soft next to the skin. Love it!

Love this little black dress!!
August 12, 2008

I love the fit of this dress! I got the black color and like the fit so much I order the Bhanda top also. It is perfect for travel and also for dressing up for Saturday dinner
