lovely piece
wish I could get one in each color... I've had versions of patagonia's vitaliti (I think that's it--has built-in bra) sundress and you know how the silhouette of some of the staples can change from one year to the next....maddening. I hope that doesn't happen to this model. THIS is a great shape--when I stop working out, my hips chunk out some, and this dress/tunic is generous enough in a med to still look ok. the cotton is a perfect knit--very fine and thin without being stretchy/clingy. Washes perfectly (so far, just did by hand) and folds up to nothing in a suitcase for travel; dries pretty quickly. love it. would snap up a shorter version to use w/ shorts. To find it on sale in several colors here was a big plus.

Classic design.
If you are on the fence, and are thinking the black, just get it, chances are you will love it. I am 5'5", 34 B, 128 lbs, average in shoulders and back, the small is a good fit, not too tight. Will wear with leggings, jeans. The sleeveless style and draped neck are comfy and cool for summer/warm fall. I am sure I will layer under or over when it is cool and it will still look great.

chic and practical
I have this tunic in the gray, purple and brown stripes also it is very great looking on with the slightly cut in shoulders and the cross between a mock T and cowl neck. it's the perfect length to wear with leggings. This black one goes with any color (I especially like it with some bright orange prana knicker leggings!) great for hanging out, for yoga, for travel. Patagonia has done it again with function and great style.

love this little "dress"
though more of a tunic, looks fantastic with tights. Super comfortable, neckline is very flattering, great travel piece. Wish I could get another color!

A great find
This top can be dressed up or down, I' 5'6" 128 pounds and a small fits perfectly. The nexkline is flattering, some stretch in the fabric ensures it fits in the right paces. I love the print, and also got the black. Definitely would not wear this top without leggins or jeans, it's pretty short.
