Sombra Sun Dress

Around the house, to bed, on a walk, to a garden party , -- I wear it all the time. I'd wear it to the beach if I didn't live in the Rockies.

Not for my body

I’m 5’4” 140lb- curvy, and size medium was tight around hips/thighs and loose like a shapeless sack everywhere else with crazy long sleeves. It also went past my knees- a far cry from the cute mini I’d hoped for and the sinching just made the shape weirder. Returning this item.

Love it

Great cover up for an outdoor day in the sun and watersports. It looks great on and is flattering. I am usually a size large, but sometimes I get a large, and it’s too small. Anyways, I opted for an extra large, and it was a little too big. I’m not trading in because a loose look works for this item.

My new favorite sun dress

I have always loved the title nine sun dresses but this one has large pockets and a really comfortable quick drying fabric. Its my new favorite for beach days and river trips. I was in-between sizes and sized up to a L for a little more of a flowy look.

Sombra Sun Dress

Wore this to the pool with the kids and felt so protected from the bright sun. Comfortable, lightweight. Would love to have a second in another color.

Way better than a sun shirt

Used to wear sun shirts. Not anymore! This dress is not only functional but stylish. Can’t wait to live in it at the beach.

Sun protection dress

I love this sun protection dress to keep me safe from the UV rays with my lupus that’s very important, and so is looking cute! I was so happy to see a purple dress and I’ve been loving it outside gardening and spending time with my son. So comfortable! Love the hood also
