Columbia Sportswear Women's Prima Agua Dress

This dress is fantastic for the summer. My husband and I go camping every other weekend at least during the summer, and I live in dresses. This one stays wonderfully cool, dries quickly and has a built in bra. I wear a medium and I'm a 38D and it shows a LOT of cleavage. My husband doesn't mind that attribute at all when we are alone in the woods, but I always have to don a shirt or light jacket to retain some modesty if other people are around.That being said, I bought TWO of these dresses in the black color (with dark gray, heather purple accents) and rotate them when camping. It is extremely flattering, comfortable and cool and if you like showing your cleavage, go ahead and wear it out. But I got some raised eyebrows and shocked looks from old ladies at Hastings when I ran there for a movie last summer so be warned! If you are a smaller bust, you may manage just fine.

Love these dresses! I have one in every color and live in them here in Florida in the summer. Material is similar if not exactly like bathing suit material so I can get soaking wet to stay cool working outside and be dry in no time if needed. They fit nice and are comfortable to wear especially with the built in bra I can get by without a traditional bra underneath which is preferable in this hot climate.I would imagine these dresses would be ideal for travel, you could wash them out in the sink at night and they would be dry by morning no worries. Would buy more if more colors were available!

This dress is super comfy. I love the built in bra and I feel athletic and attractive when I wear the dress. The only kind of weird thing about it is that it has a seam up the middle of the front (running vertical).Another note, I originally got this dress for traveling to SE Asia because I thought it would be cool (temperature wise) and be more conservative by covering my knees. That was not the case. It is very cooling, but as a 5' 10" woman it goes about halfway down my thigh, ending way before my knees. So it's a bit on the short side.

Wonderful fabric. Great cut. Color is true to the image. Best for the woman who needs to flatter slightly wider hips and thighs. This is not for the woman who is rail thin and a stick figure shape. Also not for a large busted woman, as the top area is smaller than the bottom. I ordered high cut bathing suit bottoms to wear underneath. I live in southwest Florida in the winter and on the really hot days, this swim dress is the perfect attire for beach walks and boating.

I love love love this dress. It is so easy & comfortable to wear. I had purchased one in black & grey and wasn't aware that this was the same dress only in a different color unti it arrived. The picture doesn't do the coral color justice. It is more coral than orange, as I thought the picture showed. I ordered an XS size based on previous reviews. My black one is a S. The XS is a bit snugger around the waist and an inch or so shorter, it skims my hips just right. I actually prefer the length of the coral one (XS) which hits me about an inch above the knee, I am petite - 5'2. My weight fluctuates between 112 & 118 and I have an hourglass shape with maybe a little more on the hips than top. On my "fatter" days I am more self conscious in XS size. The dress looks great on its own, or with a sweater and capri tights. It launders beautifully and is awesome for traveling - both wearing and packing. It does have a built in shelf bra, and I usually wear a lightweight cotton sports bra underneath it too (only because I am more self conscious about this part of my body!) Certainly if you were going to run or do aerobics in it you would need more support. It is my go to dress for summer errands, beach parties, or just wanting to feel feminine on day to day drudgery. Its awesome, and I will miss it in my winter wardrobe!

I bought this for vacation and loved it. I am 5'3, 135, 34 DD and the medium fit great. It has a built in shelf bra, but it wasn't super tight, so I could wear a regular crossback bra or a racerback sports bra comfortably. The material is light and thin, almost like swimsuit or athletic wear, which was fine for beach hopping, but still looked tailored enough to wear to a casual dinner. Great summer dress!

It would be the best summer dress ever IF the info on the built in bra wasn't deceiving. The material feels great for summer hot day BUT the dress doesn't fit me right as the built in bra is useless, no support and no functionality what so ever. I wish this wasn't the case as I would buy all available colours. If you are full basted, avoid it. Hope this helps.

Just bought my third one. This particular style has a bra built in- with a racer back style, so you don't have to wear a bra under it. They are a good length- hitting comfortably above the knee- perfect for on the go, shopping, kayaking, they feel good and fit great.
