Stunning, simple dress

This dress is exactly what I've been looking for. It's a very simple silhouette that I can understand may not work for everyone. It's rouched along the waist so it's definitely form-fitting in that respect. I ordered my usual size (small tall) and it fit perfectly. I think the other reviews weren't ...

Cute

I wanted to love this dress. The material is too thick, would be warm on a hot day. I didn't like the built in shelf bra. The dress is bra friendly, no need for the shelf bra. Liked the ruching and side slit details! I ended up returning it, it wasn't the perfect black dress for me.

Comments about Essential V-Neck Midi Dress

The fit is perfect! I'm 5'6 and about 150# and this dress is a great fit. I love how I can bunch up the material in the front to keep my midriff area from feeling too noticeable.

I'm in love with this dress and wish I would've gotten more colors. It's hugs in the right places, has a BRA in it and the leg slits help me free ! Perfecto 🤩

I've been waiting for this dress!

Comments about Essential V-Neck Midi Dress

I sized up and ordered a Tall to make this piece a little dressier. It's gonna be great day to night, active travel, sneakers to sandals, no heels or low heels. I've been waiting for this dress. It's a little low cut for me. I'll be altering at the shoulders to get the fit I want.

Fab dress, but shelf bra is kind of an unfortunate feature

Comments about Essential V-Neck Midi Dress

The only drawback with this dress is the shelf bra-- Otherwise it is perfect! I usually wear a medium, and ordered a medium, bit the shelf bra it a bit small, so I am showing a little more cleavage than I ordinarily would. Fit everywhere else is perfect. Even so, I do love the dress!

Pretty, but size up

Fits smaller than Athleta usual sizing. Material is soft.

Comments about Essential V-Neck Midi Dress

This dress is absolutely perfect, just the right amount of V in the neck, moves well, extremely flattering. Dress it up with pearls or down with flip flops. This dress is incredibly versatile and will be my go to for the entire upcoming vacation! I'm Going to get a second one as soon as my size is back in stock!

Love this dress
