Customer Reviews Arc'teryx Contenta Dress

I'm 5"6 and 120 lbs. I got the XS in Boxcar and absolutely love it. The material is super lightweight and quick drying. The drawstring at the waist is very flattering. The zippered pocket inside the left pocket was a pleasant surprise. Arc'teryx has always exceeded my expectations with their attention to detail and quality. It's perfect for summer getaways given how thin (but opaque) it is =) Highly recommend.

Super comfy, great for travel. Love all the pockets. Well made. Holds up nice through the wash.

Bought it for my girlfriend and she ordered herself another one. It doesn't look 'tech' at all but is incredibly breathable and stretchy.

Love this dress, Vitality color is gorgeous! It's very light, comfortable and flattering!

This is my first time buying the Contenta dress - it's beatiful, light (great for packing/travelling), well made and versatile. The blue colour is vibrant - I love it. I am looking forward to wearing this dress with sneakers or sandals. I am usually a size medium in Arcteryx leggings and bought the medium (curvy body type). It doesn't fit as loose as the model pics, but it's still flattering.

...this is definitely NOT the original Contenta Dress, nor is it the Contenta Shift Dress. But it is still good! The name is misleading, and setting loyal Contenta-lovers up for disappointment - a poor choice, I think. That said, I love this dress. The material is soft and stretchy and matte - comfortable and classy! The neckline, wide shoulders, and darting make this style really flattering, and the fabric has just enough structure to skim my body without clinging. This style feels much less sporty and casual compared to the original Contenta Dress with the drawstring waist. For reference: I wear a 34DD bra and size 6 pants. I'm most comfortable wearing a small in the original Contenta Dress, a medium in the Contenta Shift Dress, and a small in this new style.

I love the Contenta Shift dress!!! Will this be brought back?

I love this dress. It's great for travelling and can be dressed up or casual. Last year I bought the black and this year bought two more colours.

I wore this dress on a 3 hour car ride in the summer. It is very cool and comfortable. It was still casual but definitely dressed up my look. I got it in navy XS. I think it fits true to size. I wear an XS in Athleta.

Such a great dress! Bought it for a beach dress and it did not disappoint. It kept me cool and has a nice stretch to it. I purchased a second one in another color. Only one suggestion to make it better, add a style with a v-neck.

I've been eyeing this dress for a few months and decided to buy it - so glad I did. I love the deep plum colour and the fabric is very soft to the touch and light. This makes a great travel dress as it doesn't wrinkle.

The dress is comfortable, well made, and the material is light and durable. It looks dressy yet is casual.

This dress is a must have for every woman! I have many colors in this dress, and I wear it year round. In the summer, it is as light and airy and easy to wear as you can possibly imagine. Dress it up with a necklace and some sweet sandals, or wear it for an impromptu swim. And in the fall/winter, layer it over a cute stripy tee and leggings with some ankle boots. It truly does it all! You will never travel without it.

Great material for the summer, no wrinkles, dry super quick. Good for going around the town and travelling. I got colour black, and I looked really slim in it. Bought S, but would go one size down if going for another colour, because it's bit big under the arm, and the edge of the bras were showing. Other then that, it is still one of my favourite dress for the summer.

I love wearing dresses for work and casual, and I scored my first Contenta Dress at a thrift shop. It has become my "go to"! I now own the dress in 4 colors. This dress is great for staying cool AND cute while exploring new cities, checking out local wineries, meeting friends for brunch...It is super light weight, rolls-up super small so it takes very little room in my suitcase, and can easily be washed in the sink and hung to dry overnight. Wear it with sandals or cute little tennies, throw on a sweater or little jacket. Simply perfect! Thank you Arc'teryx, I'm in love!

LOVE this dress. I can wear it in so many different situations, from the office, to going out to a restaurant, to travelling and camping, and surprisingly its also my favourite tennis dress (with shorts underneath)! The fabric is fantastic, super light weight but with enough structure and well cut to be very flattering, even for a curvier figure. The drawstring waist works great, and it can really change the cut/style depending on what you're wanting the dress to look like. Cannot recommend more!! Buy it in all the colours :)

I love the new design. The redesigned neckline is so flattering (and I have had no trouble wearing a regular bra with this dress). I loved the old dress design, but I love this more. I find it much more functional. It's still a dress you can wear hiking, or to the beach, or running around with kids all day, but it also looks great at the museum, going to dinner, or even to work with a cardigan, tights, and boots. I also disagree with those who want the return of the plastic toggle. I like the hidden design of the drawstring, again, it adds to the sleeker look of the dress. I really, really like this dress - please don't change it!

J'en achterai une 2' tellement son confort est total.

I hesitated to buy this dress for a year thinking it might not look good on me (I have a very short back length plus wide hips), but when I tried it on finally, it was surprisingly flattering even on my body type! It's also versatile: in hot weather I wear it long without pants, and in chillier weather add leggings and tighten the waist to wear it shorter and with a cardigan.

C'est vraiment un vtement multi-fonctions ( travail , soire, marche) seyant, facile d'entretien. Sche vite , pas de repassage. Lger.

Cette robe est facile et agrable porter en toute circonstance.
