Customer Reviews Columbia Freezer™ III Dress

This is THE DRESS I've been looking for. Size 18, 5'2", this is sooooo comfortable, cool, washes and dries easily, covers what needs to be covered, double bodice eliminates absolute requirement of bra. The patterns could be improved. I DON'T like the huge tropical patterns, and I returned one that looked too "red,white,and blue" to me. I can live with the other patterns, though. Now, the solid colored ones show off my lumpy belly, but the prints do NOT. PLEASE, columbia, find a way to put pockets in these, and they will be my only summer clothing! Three of these, and I'm packed for a week's vacation. Awesome, awesome, awesome!

What a cute summer dress. But it runs small. I wear a 2X in everything except Columbia. Keep that in mind when ordering. I also don't understand why it's sun protection fabric with so much top skin showing. I guess you could wear a t-shirt under it... I ordered it in a larger size.

Comfortable and stylish great color and fit. I like that is comes to my knees and not any shorter.

Bright color and SPF 5-0 were a real draw. Runs large. Love the wide straps.

Excellent dress so comfortable & lightweight very pleased & want more

Pretty colors and wonderful material. Very comfortable.

This dress is true to size, true to color and true to the expected quality Columbia is known for. It is a sweet simple dress but a pleasure to wear. So refreshing. Not every manufacture has been able to keep up the quality.

This is a beautiful and comfortable dress. I love it!

I have about 9 of these dresses. They are so easy to throw on, and they're very comfortable.

I love this dress. I own several f them. They are so comfy and stretchy.

I have a couple of these dresses that I loved last summer, I had to add another to my summer season for this year. They are my favorite things to wear and I received several compliments from strangers which is always fun. You'll love the hang of this fabric, very flattering and so comfortable.

My husband bought this for me as a birthday gift and I absolutely love it. It hangs beautifuly the fabric is very flattering and it is pretty much as comfortable as you can be. I received so many compliments, I had to pick out another one for our anniversary gift!

I bought this dress to take to the beach for a family trip. It fits so well except for the neckline in the front. It is baggy and kind of lop-sided but I think I can try to fix it especially because it was on sale and is perfect for my trip. I saw where another reviewer had the same issue and my dress looks exactly like her picture!! Other than this, this dress is so cute and fits so well.

I purchased 2 of these dresses last summer as a birthday gift and anniversary gift from my hubby as he lets me pick out what I want. These were the best gifts I've received in years! I loved them and they are so flattering and comfortable. I bought the black one and a salmon/maroon/white pattern and I was frequently stopped by strangers to tell me how cute my dress is and I'd respond, "You have to feel this fabric! It's called a Freezer dress!" I took advantage of the winter clearence and have a few more of these girls.

I purchased 2 of these dresses last summer (2023) and ended up wearing them more than any other item I had. They are light weight, but they are not sheer. The fabric flows in a flattering way and it was so comfortable and cute! I frequently was stopped and asked where I bought this, and I was happy to tell them it's Columbia! Search for the Freezer Dress! I wish I had earned a commision, I've sent a lot of ladies your way! I bought 3 more for this summer.

Dress fits as described. Material is nice and lightweight for hot days. Love the tropical pattern. Does not cling. Easy to pack and does not wrinkle. Perfect for trips.

It was a present for my mother. She loves it and will be wearing it to her trip to Hawaii in March.

Dress is comfortable and a good it. Easy to maintain. Just wash and dry. Good fit.

Order this dress in a different color and loved it. Good fit and easy care.

I have purchased five of these dresses over the past couple years. I used them mainly as bathing suit coverups as I am around water a lot and want something easy to slip on that looks respectable. I also where them around the house and out running errands, but they are also nice for meeting friends at a restaurant for lunch. They are extremely comfortable and wash well. They probably would come out the dryer just fine, but I hang them up to dry and they look just like new. I receive many compliments whenever I wear them. I would say they run true to size, I'm a 2X.

Comfortable Dress for a woman on the go! Feels so good, lounging or being out and about!!!

I have received numerous complements about this dress and I love the way it fits. Its something you can just slip on and you are ready for anything.

Love it. Looks so much better than I expected. Looks like you can travel and dress it up when needed and casual and wicks away sweat when you need it. I am short so it hits well below my knee but that is fine. You can hem if you need it shorter. It is doesn’t hug the wrong places and that why is it is flattering.

Soft, comfortable and cooling to wear. Glad I bought it.

I love these dresses, the straps are a little long on me, but I have gotten the needle and thread thing down. I have some in 1X and some in 2X. I use the 1X when I want them a little more fitted, and the 2X at the beach, over swimsuits when I want it to be more loose. To alter straps, I turn inside out, sew it together about 2 inches, which actually shortens 4 inches out of the total strap (2 in front and 2?in back). Try it on and make sure the straps are to your liking. Then turn back inside out, cut across right above where it was sewn, then whip stitch it around the alteration.
