"I ordered this dress in thistle a few years ago and have always loved it. I also have the cord jacket & skirt which I wish you would bring back again so I could order that in another color as well."

"As I love corduroy, few years back I got this dress in camel and found it stylish, warm, and comfortable. It's versitility makes it a staple for both casual and more dressy occasions. thank heavens, it continues to be featured in the catalog as I now own it in thistle too."

Not flattering,

"Very dowdy. The fabric is thick and adds bulk. The dress seemed to run big. Back it wet."

Almost fit,
February 9, 2013
By: Melisand
from Bethesda, MD
"Lovely color (thistle) and nice weight, very warm and soft but I sure hope it doesn't shrink with washing. I ordered my usual size 16, which fits well in the shoulders but is a little snug in the bust, maybe just not the right cut for a 40 C chest."

sadly disappointed,
February 6, 2013
By: linylady
from NY
"I looked at the dress for several months, but hesitated because of the price. I love longish warm winter dresses and have not been able to find any in my size and length. When it went on sale I ordered it. Unfortunately, even though I ordered it in my size, it fit through the top but was way too skimpy to be comfortable or flattering through the hips. I am so disappointed!"

Love this dress,
February 5, 2013
By: alexa54
from Canada
"After reading all the reviews, I wasn't sure I would be happy with this dress but I've wanted it for some time so finally ordered it. I ordered a regular size 8, rather than my usual 10 and it fits perfectly. I'm 5'5" and the length is perfect, too. I'm very glad I finally purchased this classic dress."

"I decided to treat myself to this dress and am I ever glad I did--the fabric is wonderful, the fit just right and it's fun to wear. Oh, did I mention the color is my favorite?"

A good quality product,
January 23, 2013
By: Mirabelle
from Epsom Surrey UK
"The First time I wore this I burst the two bottom buttons off.
I opened up the back seam and made a vent, put the buttons back and sewed the front up as far as half way between the two bottom buttons.
So far everything now ok.
Perhaps I needed a larger size in this style? !!

Huge,
January 12, 2013
By: VAMissy
from Virginia
"Realizing that Orvis' products are generously sized, I ordered this dress in a 6--normally I wear between a size 6 and a size 8. It was still huge, particularly through the bodice, and so would better suit someone who is bigger chested than I am. But while the dress was huge, it was an excellent quality fabric. Yes, it's heavy, but not unreasonably so. Just needs the right figure for it."

Disappointing Sizing,
January 8, 2013
By: Corduroy9
"Sadly, I had to return this attractive corduroy dress. Although it was well-made, the Orvis sizing didn’t meet my needs. I’m of average height (close to 5’6”) but have narrow shoulders and a slender build from the waist up. I ordered a size 4P because my first priority was to accommodate my shoulder width. When the dress arrived and I tried it on, I was pleased to discover that it fit nicely in the shoulders, as well as in the sleeve length. However, it being a petite size, the bust darts were a bit too high for me and the length of the dress was too short. I wish Orvis offered clothing in a size XS regular (2-4). Your S regular (6-8) is way too big for me in tops and dresses (as for my hips, well, that’s another story!), but your petite size 4 doesn’t work for me either. ...BTW, the actual color of the dress I ordered (blush) isn’t anything like the blush color pictured online and in the print catalog. What I received was labeled “blush” but far more resembled the khaki color you offer. If the dress had fit well, I would have kept it, but I would have been disappointed in the color."

Truth in advertising...,
January 2, 2013
By: Scoobs
"True to size and looks wonderful with almost anything! My husband bought this for me for Christmas and I've worn it to clinic under my lab coat twice already. Lots of compliments from co-workers.
The weight and length are perfect for Boston fall/winters and I very much enjoy the small pockets in front to hold essentials."

somewhat disappointed,
December 29, 2012
By: Sebastiane
from Memphis, TN
"The good news is that Orvis stands behind their products 100%. And that they sell quality merchandise!
The bad news is that I misjudged the size and ordered a size too large. This dress is not form fitting so don't order a size up. Also the blush color looks too beige. I returned this and bought the thistle. It has arrived and I'm very pleased!!! Good news!!!

Perfect for the slim person,

"This is a warm, cozy, quality, heavy dress. Best suited for the slim person and it will keep you warm in winter. For the heavier person, it may make you look larger, like me."

Size Confusion,

"I love this dress. I have a similar denim dress from Orvis and ordered the same size as the lines and the cut were very similar. Unfortunately, the dress is too tight."

"For ages I have been wanting something to lounge in, but also something that would also be suitable if I had to answer the door. Besides, the chemise feels comfortable and cozy."

Love this chemise, but...,
October 30, 2012
By: Sassparilla
from Danville, CA
"I'd been eyeing this item for a while and finally ordered it. I loved it, but when I modeled it for my husband, he didn't think it was very flattering - not enough shape to it. I kind of have to agree; the model in the catalog looks great in it, but it made me look rather large - which I don't need!"

feminine and elegant,
October 26, 2012
By: xeney
"This is the corduroy dress I have been looking for. I could only seem to find miniskirts and they aren't enough to keep anything warm and not elegant enough to wear for any dressy occasion."
