Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
Customers consistently describe this dress as an “everyday” staple thanks to its comfortable, spot-on fit and fabric that “falls” and “drapes beautifully.” It’s repeatedly called a smart travel piece and an easy day-to-night option, with small design details—like a slightly higher waistband and well-judged sleeve length—making it especially flattering through the midsection. Several reviewers also note it washes exceptionally well and feels like a timeless, trans-seasonal wardrobe addition.

Perfect dress for travel. Love the fit. Sleeves are right length for me. Will enjoy wearing this dress for many occasions. Definitely 5⭐️
My first DharmaBums purchase & its Beautiful!! Fit’s perfect for my pear shape in size XL. I absoutely love everything about this dress.
This is going to be a great wardrobe addition for the cooler months. It is such a great fit, and the waistband is just that little bit higher, so it skims over the tummy without hugging. It will also be added to my travel wardrobe for next April's trip to the UK and Italy.
