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
- Familiarity:

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.

I bought one first just to test it out, then bought the other two colors! very comfy. I agree with other comments saying it's kind of a pain to get in and out of but I don't mind too much. The only thing I recommend is some pasties if you so desire the coverage bc it is quite fitted! I bought the medium but think I could have gotten away with a small.

Super adorable but major design flaw
- Familiarity:
- I've put it through the wringer

This is one of the cutest sport dresses I own! I love the cutout and high neck detail but the fact that you have to squeeze your entire body into the dress through the neck is absurd. It should have been designed with a detachable strap (with a hook like on the back of a swimsuit top) to make it bigger to step through. Each time I put on the dress I feel like it’s going to rip, in fact I’ve torn through some stitches already :( fix this issue and make more colors and I’d buy every one!

Lightweight, comfortable, and flattering. Love the pockets in the shorts, and how you can go to the bathroom without taking the entire dress off (like it is with onesies). Great to wear anywhere!

Really great dress for all my favorite activities. I love the pockets on the shorts for phone, keys and wallet security without needing a purse. The fabric is super stretchy and compressive, dont feel restricted while still feeling secure. You can step right in to the neck hole * may require some flexible shoulders * The best part is the lower waist cut-out, its flattering and designed to make nature breaks a breeze; you can pull it down and take a squat without having to take the whole dress off and risk a topless run-in on the trail. A must have, cant wait to wear it on my next adventure - more colors please!
