Customer Reviews
Reviews Summary
Versatility is the recurring theme: shoppers wear this as a casual summer staple, a work dress with a blazer, a travel piece that packs easily, and a dinner outfit with a change of shoes. Customers repeatedly call out the super-soft fabric, flattering drape, useful pockets, and a cut that feels comfortable while still looking polished. Many have bought it in black, navy, cherry, plum, blue or brown after realizing it becomes their “go-to” dress.
What Customers Love Most
- Super-soft, silky fabric that feels beautiful against the skin
- Easy to dress up or down with sandals, sneakers, boots, jackets, jewellery or a blazer
- Flattering drape that flows rather than clings and is forgiving in the right places
- Deep, practical pockets that customers genuinely notice and love
- Comfortable throw-on fit that works for travel, work, holidays and everyday wear
Customers Say These Are Perfect For
- Travel and packing light for holidays, cruises, overseas trips and warm-weather destinations
- Day-to-night dressing, from casual daytime wear to dinner or drinks
- Work or smart casual outfits with a blazer, denim jacket, cardigan or boots
- People wanting a comfortable dress that still looks stylish and put-together
- Summer wear, hot days and layering through cooler months with long sleeves or jackets
Customer Feedback on Quality
- Fabric is repeatedly described as beautiful, soft, silky, thick enough not to be see-through, and with enough weight to fall well
- Easy-care feedback includes “washes well,” “no ironing needed,” “won’t crease in suitcase,” and wrinkles falling out when hung overnight
- Customers praise the construction and cut, including no gaping armholes, deep pockets that don’t add bulk, and a skirt that flows while walking
Customer Fit Feedback
Reviewers commonly say it fits perfectly or true to size, including size 10 customers in Small and several shorter customers around 5'1–5'2 who found the length worked well. A recurring minority found the top close-fitting or the dress more form-fitting, so they preferred sizing up; a few shorter customers around 152–156cm needed or expected hemming. The drop waist/skirt placement is often described as flattering because it skims bumps, glides over hips and gives shape without excess fabric.
What Customers Say
- "“Love the way it feels, love the way it falls, love the way it fits.”"
- "“This is the ultimate comfortable and elegant allrounder.”"
- "“No need to iron just throw on and go. Good dress for travel.”"

First time buyer and it was SPOT ON! Perfect sizing, fits beautifully, so comfortable, and flattering.. I'm 5,2 and curvy, so I bought an XXL. Seriously the perfect dress.. IT HAS POCKETS TOO. I'm a Dharma Bums convert. Thank you
Love this dress, very comfortable and flattering, true to size, bought on sale will purchase another one.
just ordered my 2nd one as they are on sale. They drape nicely & have a nice weight that they don't blow away.
Exceeded my expectations, business up top & effortless, feminity below. I have mild scoliosis, one hip is slightly higher than the other though this does not accentuate that. It was also a great length, not too long as previous items I've purchased have been, no altering required!
What an amazing dress. Pair it with sandals for summer spring, add a cardi or a long sleeve t, pair with boots and we have autum winter. Highly recommend
Beautiful fabric, drapes well over body, easily layered.
I purchased this dress on sale and I am so pleased I did!. I am taking it to Italy, it is soft, comfortable and can be dressed up or down - I LOVE IT!
Love - great summer basic. Fits well and the fabric is really soft.
The colour is stunning and fits well to toss on and go. Purchased mine for under $50, so it was a total bargain too!
This is a stunning dress. But I ordered a size too small, popped it in my wardrobe and forgot about it. Luckily I kept the tag on as I missed the return deadline. But I sent an email and asked Dharma Bums could I please exchange it as it's gorgeous. They obliged and now I have the size I need and the dress is divine. Beautiful fabric, great cut, great customer service.
