kinda magic
I'm a little bit fascinated at how this thing can fit over my bust as a dress and my hips as a skirt...and look good both ways. I bought this dress for a vacation in southern Spain and I wanted a few versitile items...this fit the bill. I am 5'5", 130 lbs, small chest, bubble butt and I got a small. However, although it looks fine, I think the XS would have perhaps been tighter to begin with but would have held up better through the day, as it does stretch out a bit. Thank goodness for the halter string, because there is no way this dress is tight enough in the bust to be strapless, but tying the string around my neck a little tighter helped me to avoid any embarrassing moments. I am overall happy with this dress, but in future incarnations, I think it would help to have a bit more stretch in the waist/bust portion of the dress.
I'm not a huge skirt-wearing-person, I mostly wear skirts while camping, or because they are easier to change into after a bike ride. I am also "pear shaped" and have a hard time finding skirts that work well for me, but this one is a gem. I loved it so much last year that I bought a 2nd one in a different color this year! The waist will stretch a touch after wearing it for a while (I don't find it to be a problem though!), but always shapes right up again after washing. The fabric is extremely comfortable and I find it to be the perfect weight for the summer, not too light, not too heavy.
Love this skirt
The drape on this fabric is just the best. It looks and feels great. It's quite thin but not too thin, and it flutters around nicely with any air movement. I'm tall (6' 0") so the longer length is perfect--not too short like everything else usually is. I plan on wearing this skirt all the time when the warm weather arrives. This is actually my second of this skirt. I was initially disappointed because the fabric (a print pattern) faded a bit more than I hoped even after the first wash. I like the feel of the fabric so much that it doesn't even bother me anymore. Hopefully the second one (black) wears well.
Perfect Travel Skirt/Dress
I purchased two of the Kamala skirts to take with me to Thailand & China. In the extreme heat of Bangkok I wore it as the halter dress. While it was lightweight and comfortable I would have liked to have more lycra in the bandeau. I found the back of it sagging esp since there are no straps to hold it up. For the cool evenings in China I wore it as a skirt with a little tank top and sweater. It took up very little space in my suitcase, is lightweight and laundered beautifully with no ironing needed.
Very Versatile
I first saw this skirt/dress while on vacation, but they did not have my size. The skirt was still on my mind when I returned home so I went and tried it on at a Patagonia store I got my normal size and it fits perfectly. I've been wearing it as a dress and as a skirt a lot during this hot summer. I also purchased a Patagonia cotton tank to pair when I wear this item as a skirt. I bought the cream skirt/dress and I receive a lot of compliments!!
Best.Skirt.Ever.
My only lamentation is that Patagonia doesn't make this in more colors. (And I kind of wish they would make it all organic cotton instead of a Tencel mix...) Perfect length (mid-calf) for work and everything else (I don't really like showing my legs). I'm 5'7" 120 lbs and the small fits perfectly. Super comfy but hip/cute enough to dress up. I would never wear this as a dress (don't like the look at all) but I guess it's cool you have that option. Please don't stop making this skirt, Patagonia!
New Favorite Skirt
I LOVE this skirt. It feels and moves great. I ordered the green and white stripe, and it is perfect. This skirt is so comfortable...I could wear it all day long. I am looking forward to ordering another one soon. As far as sizing goes, it is true to size...I am always a patagonia small. I am 5' 2'' and it is the perfect length for me, usually skirts are way too long but it fits me like a maxi skirt which is what I was looking for.
Love it!
This dress/ skirt has been so wonderful. I have worn it for weddings, my graduation and I bring it with me when I travel in case of needing something cute to dress up in. I am a size medium being 127 lbs and 5'6. I love wearing it more as a dress than a skirt and wish they made it in a white/ black geometric pattern. it does not wrinkle much and flows very nicely!
Husband says "Hot"
The fabric on this skirt is quality. My husband really likes the flow of this skirt, not too clingy but not draping your body like a loose sac. It can wear it as a sundress without looking schlepy. I will let all short wasted gals know that I do think it is cut with a longer wasted woman in mind, which means you want Spanx on if you have any "post baby rolls".
Great item
Love this skirt/dress. My only advice for patagonia would be to add a tie on the opposite side, so when you wear it as a dress you can tighten it somehow in the back (or you could adjust it based on your rib cage!). Just seemed a little loose around the rib cage when you wear it as a dress. (i'm a 34A).
Negative Reviews:
not for hourglass figures
I was intrigued by the idea of a garment that could be either skirt or dress, and I did hope to wear it as a skirt. I won't be doing so. If you are at all hourglassy -- if your waist is noticeably smaller than are your hips -- then what passes as a waistband just flops there. The waist can't be adjusted; the only solution would be to wear it very, very low on the hips -- not my style! Not even when I was much younger! I will keep the garment, rather than returning it, because that floppy, useless gathered waistband does, in fact, become an effective bandeau, and the skirt does really turn into a simple, brief, lightweight halter dress (maybe a bit too skimpy for a mature woman in her prime, no matter how fit, to wear just anywhere, but fine, cool, and appealing for just knocking around). Another warning: the "Heritage Green" color is not green -- it is a kind of mulberry purple stripe combined with either a very dark navy or black. So! If you have an hourglass shape, and don't want to wear the skirt very very low on the hips, this skirt is not for you, but as a short, cool sundress it is pleasant. An interesting idea that just didn't quite work, for me, anyway! It certainly won't keep me from continuing to turn to Patagonia for other things...
Not usable as a dress
I gave the 2 stars for it being from Patagonia and having such good quality cotton. But I tried a S and XS, and couldn't wear the skirt as a dress, as advertised. The waistband is too wide and the string doesn't tighten enough to hold up at the bust, even though I wear a D cup and always a S.
Returned.
Wouldn't recommend as a conversion piece, only as a skirt, if needed.
