EMS Wanderer Dress

Comments about Eastern Mountain Sports EMS Wanderer Dress:

Cute dress! I bought it on sale -- a dress for less than $25 is a deal I can't refuse. It's great over a T-shirt for weekends and running errands, and can be dressed up with a scarf or cardigan for work or school. Pockets are good-sized and well-placed so that they are comfortable without making me look hippy. Style can be athletic, classic, or boho, depending on how it is accessorized. My only complaint is the fabric -- it's 93% polyester, so, really, what's the point of the wool? Just so EMS could hang a big tag proclaiming "WOOL!" so that you think you are getting a natural fiber? Better they had used organic cotton or bamboo/rayon, etc., instead of polyester. I have no idea how it will wear, but I've had it less than a week and it's already showing nascent pills. By the way, I have The World's Most Sensitive Skin(TM), but this fabric didn't make me itch at all, meaning that the wool, as little as there is, is at least of good quality.

Be forewarned if ordering online that it runs small by a size or two -- I usually wear a Small or even an Extra-Small in dresses from EMS (house brand, Horn* Toad, Patagonia, North Face, etc.), but I needed a Medium in this style, and noticed there were a lot of XS's and S's left on the rack, but I scored the only remaining M. It's teal, and I'd have gotten the mauve, too, if there'd been one left.

This dress is really cute and comfortable. I read the reviews before purchasing, especially since the pockets look like they accentuate the hips, but the pockets are fine and don't create a pear shape. This dress works great for casual situations, just put it on and slip on some sandals and you're ready to go!

The dress would be good if it weren't for the pockets. The fabric poofs out at the pockets, making the dress look much wider at the hips when you wear it - not flattering.

This dress looks better on than expected. I wasn't sure about the pockets but they really don't add any extra weight to my hips. I usually wear a 6 and decided to buy the small. The fit was perfect! At 10.00 the deal was great!

I'm a 5'4 125lbs athletic fashion loving woman. I also love to be comfortable. This dress meets those requirements. Ordered a Small, could have easily gotten away with ordering a X-Small, but I enjoy the movement the Small gives me. Color is flattering on my skin tone (olive), fabric is soft. Cute paired with tights and flats, with just wedges for a casual night out, or my favorite with walking shoes for a light hike. I'm going to wear the heck out of this dress and trust me, you would too. ^_^

After reading other reviews stating this dress runs small, I ordered a small. The armholes and waist were too loose. I ended up ordering an extra small, which fit much better.
The style is flattering, even with the hip pockets.

I thought maybe the pockets would be unflattering but they really are not too bad. The fabric is great and light and slippery on your skin I don't like fabric that clings to me. Nice racerback cut in the back. All in all very worth the price I paid. I bought the blue and it's a pretty teal ocean blue.

Love the cozy feel of the fabric, was perfect to throw on after an afternoon of kayaking but also great for casual wear. Already a favorite.

This dress is great. I'm 5,5 125, pear shaped, and the x-small fits great. I thought the dress might make my hips look huge because of the pockets, but since the dress hugs my chest and waste, it is actually pretty flattering. I do need to wear a sports bra underneath, or even a t-shirt underneath looks cute.

This dress is great! Loved the color. Unbelievably comfy. I wore it in Florida in 80 weather, then wore it home on plane and threw tights an tee on under it for winter. The liner on the inside hugs your figure, and makes the dress more flattering, and helps the winter cling! I washed in cold water, layed flat to dry, then fluffed for 10 min, and it didnt shrink. Exactly what I wanted! And it packs great! Not a lot of space, and minimal wrinkles!
