Wish it was better
- Size Bought:
- Medium
I wanted to love this, but I just couldn’t. I think it runs a little big and didn’t fit the way I wanted to. Maybe I should have gotten a size down :/

Cute but impossible to put on
- Familiarity:
- I returned this product before using it
- Size Bought:
- XS
Since this dress is one piece the only way to get it on is to contort to get into the hole at the back. While it’s stretchy I still felt like the seams would rip if I stretched it far enough to climb into. I regularly practice yoga so am pretty flexible but still couldn’t make it work. I decided to return. Backcountry customer service helping with that return was great!

The dress is cute, but it's incredibly difficult to get on and off. I felt like I was going to dislocate my should (only slight exaggeration) trying to get the dress off. I returned it right away.

Freaking adorable!

- Xl

I am 40f, 34DDD, 5ft tall, and 155lbs and the xl is a little big on me. The inseam and idea is fantastic. The grip on the thighs was a really great choice and was more significant than the v2 outdoor voices dress. The neck to armpit seam gaped once I tightened it, and everywhere is a little loose. I'm going to need to tape my breasts or wear a sports bra, and like the ov dress I think the align bra will line up with the silhouette perfect. I am a lover of dresses with shorts (xl in halara and large in ov) and this is my 12th one. This dress is a really nice scuba/pointe knit, study fabric and is nicely holding is shape but also stretchy. It is thicker than the halara dresses, and nothing like the ov material. I think this will look nice enough to wear golfing or on a date and the material is thick enough to really give a smooth look. I'm super excited to exchange for the size down.

Sporty and fun
- Size Bought:
- Medium
I am 5'8 145lbs. I usually wear a small top and am between a medium and large for bottoms. I have trouble with onesies because of my longer torso and wide hips, but this material is forgiving for a range of body types. I purchased a medium and it fits well, the only negative is there is a little loose fabric on the low back at the bottom of the keyhole. I plan to wear it anyway, as it is not that noticeable.

Not as cute as I hoped

This dress looks so cute on the model, but it's just not as flattering in real life. It's hard to get on, the shorts are not very comfortable underneath, and runs a little large.

Through the neck hole!

Oh my goodness, I was so stressed when first tried to put this dang dress on. I finally checked the reviews, and saw that people stepped through the neck hole to put it on! And that worked once I loosened the straps a bit. Does need a bra under, which is my only downside really. Yes, it’s still a bit tricky to go to the bathroom, but not too bad. This dress is so flattering and comfortable though! Worth it!

Super cute but pilled after first wear

Super cute but pilled after first use. This is a little surprising considering the price point. Looks super cute - wished it had a better bra and was easier to get off. I have purchased one very similar from HALARA and it’s held up better and was cheaper

Cute but good luck getting in&out of it

Once you get the dress on, super cute, really love the style and fit. Wish it had more bra support would be my only criticism. However, getting into and out of the dress is an absolute nightmare because of the built in shorts. Easiest way was to put the bottoms on first then carefully bend yourself into a pretzel to get in the top without ripping it. Ultimately I wouldn’t be able to deal with that every time I wanted to wear so I returned after just trying on. Doesn’t matter how cute it is on, if you can’t actually get it onto your body.

Cute Style but no bra cups built in

Very cute style, but had to return due lack of bra cups and no support for chest. I would recommend Backcountry revise this style to include more support.
