Get this dress. I was looking for a dress to wear to dinner to celebrate my 29th wedding anniversary. I am 55, weigh 190, 5'6", 38D. Because of the positive reviews, I ordered it I ordered the large and it fits perfect. My husband loved it. It is very sexy and flattering. Like prior reviews, it has a built in bra with enough support to wear without a bra. Thanks to the other reviewers who were kind enough to mention their body dimensions and age. That helped a lot!

I love this dress! I am going to order a couple more of them! I am 5'9" and 165 pounds and I ordered a large. I am curvy so I was worried about it being clingy, but it is perfect! It just about touch the floor, which I love! It holds the girls up without a bra, awesome! This is the perfect summer dress!

I have had a hard time finding a Maxi Dress that worked on me - I permanent muffin top, so things that skim the body usually tend to highlight this. Not this dress. It looks amazing on, is so comfortable and looks great day or night. I'll be buying more!

Great material, great length. Can dress up with wedge sandals or dress down with a flat. Looks great with a jean jacket for day. I am 5'7 142 lbs- muscular build with small hips, broad shoulders and med-large chest and the small fit just fine.

Amazing! The lightly padded cups in the front make it so that you do not need a bra. I'm 5'8" and 150lbs and the size M fits me perfectly. The dress lays so nicely on my body. I bought it in black and think this dress will be awesome for casual wear. Very happy with this purchase!

Great dress. the fit is flattering and super comfortable. I am 5'7" and it hits the ground, I am hoping it will shrink an inch or so when I was it or I'll have to wear heels. Love it!

NOTE: The Pink Stripe dress, at least is POLYESTER, not cotton/ modal!! I bought this dress in Pink Moon, along with the Portia dress. XS. (I'm 5'3",110). This fabric-- the cotton/modal blend-- is super-soft, stretchy and comfy, and I love it. I kept the Dhara dress over the Portia, as it is MUCH prettier and hangs better-- although I like the Portia straps over the halter, the front of the Portia looks loo a sports bra. I will need to get it shortened, but I have someone who does that for $10, so deal! I have a T-bags dress in polyester, and I wanted to replace it with a maxi in natural fibers. Zappos should note the different fabrics of these different colors of the dresses, as it matters. The polyester used in the Pink Stripe Dara dress is AWFUL. I didn't even need to try it on, it felt like a bathing suit in my hand and I put it right back in the bag after reading the tag!

Absolutely love this dress. It fits great, is comfortable and I don't need to wear a bra which is great in hot weather. I get a lot of compliments on it every time I wear it. I bought it in black and pink. the black one is awesome. Only complaint I have is that the other colors are a different material and are terrible. They are shiny and feel cheap. The material looks more like a workout type where as the black one is a nice soft cotton feel.

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Love this dress! I have it in 3 colors now. It is super comfy and you don't need to wear a bra with it. It has a padded top that keeps the "girls" in place perfectly without showing any nip. And they aren't those annoying removable cups either like in bathing suits that somehow always fold in half & you can never get them back in right. The padding stays put even after many washes. I get so many compliments on these dresses. I'm 5'1" 120lbs & ordered xs and fit perfect. I didn't even need to hem it. I usually wear 2-3" heels & it falls perfectly without being too long.

This is a beautiful dress, I love the pattern and color. You can dress it up or down with accessories so it works for a wedding with high heels or an outside bbq.with flip flops. The dress is very comfortable but I think if you are shorter than 5'6" it may be too long for you

Super cute!! I'm 5'8 and the length was perfect! I wasn't stepping all over the dress. Also, I wear 34DD and the built in support bra was enough to have my girls looking great. I would buy another one but black is the only color I liked.

Love the dress, ordered the black and nirvana in small. Should have ordered the xs but decided the small was a better fit. I'm 5"2' 120pds and 34d. The xs would have been fine from waist down but the small barely fit over the chest area , does show cleavage and I was constantly tugging for the girls not to pop out. Like the built in bra. Would definitely recommend this dress. Wore it with a 4 inch wedge sandal for the dress not to drag.

This dress is very comfy, especially with the built in support for the "Puppies", well, "huntin' dawgs". At 5'10" the length is perfect, the material is nice and soft. I think this is worth the money for sure.

The reviews are right! This dress is flattering, comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I wore the black one to a wedding with some adorable fancy sandals, matching leather clutch and some chunky gold jewelry and I looked and felt great. I wore bike shorts under the dress and no one could tell. The thin foam layer in the bust was enough to provide complete nip coverage so I didn't need a bra either.

I absolutely love this dress. I accidentally stumbled upon Dhara on a clearance rack at Sports Authority last summer. That dress was cheap and the last one in that style and size, so, thinking it was a great price, I brought it home with me, not really expecting much from it other than a comfortable lounge-around-the-house dress. I rarely ever fall in love with an article of clothing because my body shape/size is such that most dresses never fit me quite right. I am 5'3", 150 pounds, wear a 34F bra, and have a large post-4-pregnancies belly. Most dresses just make me look pregnant and feel like maternity clothes. Dhara did not! I've worn that dress on a very regular basis for the past year, even making it work through the winter with knit cardigans and scarves. This year, I did a search for Soybu on Zappos (I have a pullover sweater from Soybu - another clearance rack find - that I also love, so I have a slight history with the brand). Imagine my surprise when I found my dress in multiple colors and prints! I could feel the clouds part and the sunshine pour through onto my laptop! I ordered the black because this girl needs a classic black maxi dress at all times! The fabric is soft and not see-through like so many of the dresses lately. It is a little long on me (like 3-4" too long), but I am a seamstress, so maybe I will get around to hemming it. Last year, I simply tied a knot in the bottom of my dress to give it a slight asymmetric look that totally worked. The black dress this year has slits on each side, so the knot thing is not going to do the trick. But I like the slits. They go to just above my knee, not too revealing, and allow a little breeze to keep me cool. It fits my 34F chest better than most dresses. The bodice has bra padding in it, so you can go braless if you want, and I totally do when I can get away with it. I do have a good amount of cleavage when I go braless, so be aware of that if you are larger than a D-cup. When I wear a supportive bra the shaping and fit is perfect with little to no cleavage (actually, I wear the BodyGlove Smoothies Solo Underwire D-DD-E-F bikini top with this dress - I also get that from Zappos. Thank you guys!. I ordered the large in this dress to accommodate my chest and belly. I can wear a medium (that is the size that I swiped off the clearance rack last year); the chest area is just a bit tighter which makes the fabric stretch more. The skirt portion of the dress actually fits me better in a medium, and is figured flattering without being a body-con dress. I still wear the size medium on a regular basis, I just wanted to go with the large this year for the sake of my chest since I had the choice. I will say that the skirt is cut straight, so if you have curvy hips, it may not work for you. There are a few gathers at the center front and center back, but even so, the sides are straight. My hips measure 41", my waist (at belly button) is 37", and my chest measures 39", so I am a very soft rectangle. Anyway, this dress gets rave reviews everywhere I look, so try it! And P.S. check 6pm.com too ;) I got a third Dhara dress for cheap! I love Zappos! Now I am trying to decide if it is silly to order a fourth and call it my summer uniform...

I love this dress. I am 54 years old, 5'7", 130 pounds and bought size medium. It fits well, is very comfortable, and has pads so I do not need to wear a bra. I have a small bust (36B). I love the fabric - the colors are really nice. I am not usually a fan of halter tops but this one is comfortable. I plan to wear it to an outdoor garden wedding with flat sandals.

Fun summer dress! Slits up the side that go to your mid-calf so you can see your cute shoes. Has cups in it so you don't really need to wear a bra. I am 5'2" and 130lbs and bought a small and it fits well and is flattering although I'll need to wear 4" platform wedge heals in order for it not to drag on the floor.

One of my favorite maxi dresses! I bought this dress last summer in a different pattern and loved it so much that I came back to purchase another one. The dress is comfortable and flattering. I get compliments on it every time I wear it. It's cute with a lightweight cropped sweater worn over it for chilly evenings or settings where you don't want to bare your shoulders. I'm 5'9.5", usually wear a size 6. (Bust 32DD, waist 27", hips 38".) Size Small fits perfectly and is long enough for someone my height.

I am very happy with this dress! No need to wear a bra as it has lightly padded inserts and plenty of support for my C sized girls. :) Perfect for travel with no need to iron. I am taking it to Costa Rica. I got a medium. I am 5 5 and 140 lbs. Length is perfect.

This dress is awesome! Very flattering for hour glass figures. The right kind of clingy, nice material. Nice bust support too. Ordering more! :)

Too cute! I love the botanical color on me (I'm pale with dark blonde hair). Classy but bohemian style. Flows well on my curvy body. I usually wear a 10 (almost 12) and ordered a large, which is almost too big. I'll order a Medium to compare. Surprisingly it has enough support to wear without a bra (I am an E cup) since it has inserts and a band.

I'm really happy with this dress. I'm 5'5 and the length is perfect. Fit is flattering and halter top is comfortable and not overly revealing. The dress is well made with attention to the details on the halter top.
