Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
What wins people over is the floaty-soft fabric and adjustable sash that defines the waist while skimming rather than clinging. Shoppers keep calling it insanely comfortable and love that it easily shifts from casual with flats to polished with a jacket and heels. Many bought it specifically for travel because it packs well and works day-to-night; note that several recommend sizing up as it runs a touch small for some.
What Customers Love Most
- Soft, flowy fabric with a nice weight and drape (often called 'beautiful' and 'super soft')
- Attached waist tie/sash that cinches the waist and can be tied front or side to disguise the tummy
- Dress-up-or-down versatility—equally at home with flats, slides, or heels
- Travel-friendly and packable; effortless to style for day sightseeing and dinner out
- Flattering, forgiving silhouette that looks slimming without clinging
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Travel—packing light, overseas trips, and day-to-night itineraries
- Casual-to-dressy outfits (slides or flats by day, jacket and heels by night)
- Work or events when you want comfort with a polished look
- Anyone wanting a waist-defined, tummy-friendly fit
- Minimal-effort days when you need something 'ridiculously comfortable' that still looks put-together
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Soft, flowy fabric with a decent weight and drape; multiple notes that it 'falls' nicely
- Frequently described as great quality/well made
- Attached sash is secure and can be tied at the front or side
Customer Fit Feedback
Several customers sized up for the best fit or noted it’s a smaller fit than their usual size; others found it true to size. Standard size 10 commonly chose a Medium. The attached sash helps customize the waist, and the fabric skims rather than clings—flattering on straight and curvy figures alike.
What Customers Say
- "Ridiculously comfortable."
- "Love the little tie to diguise my tummy."
- "Great dress that you can dress up or down."
Absolutely love this dress 🥰 this is my first order from DHARMA BUMS and very impressed with the whole process. My first purchase was 6 items and do not regret.. The outfits are good quality and perfect fit. I chose these outfits to dress up or down and travel light. Highly recommend 😍. Will be buying more from DHARMA BUMS
This dress has beautiful fabric, is stylish and will pack well for holidays as well. Bought it as a gift and know it will be a huge success. Thank you Dharma Bum for your high quality versatile products 🙏
Many comments about this dress. Ridiculously comfortable.
Great dress that you can dress up or down. Really comfortable. Would be great for travel, though it does have a bit of weight to it, but this also adds to the way the dress drops/falls. The waist tie can be tied at the front or the side for a change in look. I am a standard size 10 and bought the Medium. Recommend!
So delighted with this super comfortable and stylish dress. Perfect for travel as well
Great fit,beautiful material, love the tie at the waist
Incredibly comfortable and easy to style. I love this dress so much!
Lovely, comfy, forgiving yet slimming fit. Purchased for travel, but I know I’ll get more wear.
Lovely dress, very flattering design, looks great on. Will be packing it for travelling in June. Fabric is soft and flowy but is a decent weight. I love it 😍
Love the little tie to diguise my tummy and adds this little bit of detail I love.

Neckline is very high, so bear this is mind if you dont like high necks. A V-neckline would be very flattering too . Otherwise comfortable dress without being too fitted.
