I was so excited to see these dresses at Sams at such a reasonable price! I have been a long time OV exercise dress wearer - there's nothing better in the summer for walks and just overall active days to stay cool and look put together. However, this dress is not like an exercise dress you can buy direct from OV. The liner in this dress is WAY thicker and heavier, does not have pockets, and has a padded shelf bra built in. All of these make it way less comfy and not breathable. I know the original OV ED is much more money but if you check their sale section you can usually grab one for $40-60 and it's just worlds better than this. It's actually breathable and comfy and the adjustable straps make it easy to get up and down. Pockets are a must have as well.

it hangs nicely but that is where the positives end. as far as an "exercise dress" the creators of this totally missed the mark. i wore it to an amusement park figuring this eould be a comfortable and practical option and i was wrong. the straps are not stretchy, so in order to go to the bathroom you will likely need to loosen the straps to pull it up/down. the shorts are fairly short compared to other athletic dresses, so if your thighs are curvy they are going to be riding up. the cups for the bra are removable and unfortunatly move around a lot when pulling the dress up/down. over all i spent a lot of time fussing with and re-adjusting this dress. not at all what i expected in an athletic dress.

I bought these exceptionally cute dresses for myself and my daughter to wear to a theme park when we went on water rides. The idea was that they would act sort of like a swimming suit, because that's the kind of material they are, and would dry quickly while enjoying the park. They're really cute and the material is comfortable. Unfortunately that is where the good points end. Let me start by saying that 9 times out of 10, I wear an XL so I bought that size accordingly. There's no way to try clothes on in the store, because if there had been, I could've saved the almost 3 hrs round trip to return these. dresses. First, let me start by saying that whoever designed these needs to go back to fashion school or wherever you go to relearn how to determine measurements and sizes. When I got home, I immediately tryed (key word tryed) my dress on. I struggled to get the top of the dress past my superfluous rear end because the top is way too small. Then I struggled to get my arms in the incredibly flimsy straps, that should've been detachable but are not, after finally succeeding in pulling the dress all the way up. It was like trying to escape from being tied up to get the top on. By now I was ready to quit and throw this thing in the fireplace to burn it, but I was still a bit optimistic. Next I struggled to contain "the girls" in the ridiculously small shelf bra attached. I'm sitting here in the dress after doing battle to get it on, while writing this review and praying I don't pop a strap before I take it off. If you're a girl that has a small chest and non-existent backside, then this is the perfect dress for you. If you're like me and are blessed in certain areas, the keep walking right on past the table that these dresses are on.

Had to return. Couldn't fit my arms in the dress without ripping the straps. Very poorly made.

A little thin and needs the back of the shorts detached for ease

Its hard to get on and off

Bought my usual size {xl)-would probably fit a medium

Hard to put on. No zipper to open it to put on.

The dress is so cute! Unfortunately without a zipper, it is difficult to get on and off.

Great fit & feel! I bought this outfit in the solid peachy color and plan on purchasing another!
