I bought 4 of these sundresses - I wear a size Medium, and these dresses have been a lifesaver during this hot hot summer. I tried to remember what I used to wear in the hot summertime, and I thought "Sundress! and sandals..." so I ordered 1 of these dresses to see if it fit and if it washed washed well without shrinkage (it passed with flying colors), bought some flip flops in bright colors - and after my shower every morning, I put on sunscreen, one of these dresses, and my flips and I'm good to go. And go I do, with a sunhat and tote I'm out and set for the day.
The dress did not shrink: I washed it gentle, cool, and dried it on delicate for 10 minutes, and hung to dry the rest of the way. I might run a quick iron over the skirt, although it's not badly wrinkled at all. If you like crisp pressed clothing, you'll want to iron this; it's optional in my opinion, depending on where I was going to wear it.
Anyhow, don't miss this dress! the price, quality, and the sheer fun of wearing something cool and comfortable even in 103 degree weather - - it's all good with this dress. Buy one or more, I'm back here to write this review, and to pick up two more. They're *that* great!

Having lost 65 pounds, I was in the market for a new wardrobe. National is definitely has my favorite clothing.
This dress, however, was not for me. The armholes and yoke feel somewhat tight. The extra fabric and stitching in the yoke prevents it from "giving". I bought this sleeveless dress for really hot days but it's not cool. Needs ironing, too.
I've only worn this dress once; now it hangs in my closet. I believe it was the most expensive casual dress that I bought and I know it is the least worn.

Comments about Striped Patio Dress by National®:
I gave this garment only 4 stars because of the need for ironing if worn outdoors shopping. If you DON'T care about wrinkling, then I'd recommend it for home. I bought the dress (in every color) specifically for wearing as a dress shopping and eating-out. Ironed it fits that need. But make NO mistake. . . .this dress needs ironing BADLY if you wear it shopping and/or eating out. It just wrinkles VERY badly after washing. It DID shrink. . . .a little. . . .but not enough to be disappointed with it. It didn't shrink THAT much (on the permanent press cycle). And though I DO have a "wrinkle alert" button, it STILL wrinkled. But once ironed. . . .it looks BEAUTIFUL. The cotton makes it EXTREMELY comfortable to wear because the fabric "breathes" and the colors are very summery. I like it and I WOULD buy it again. . . . .but I continue to emphasize the need to IRON!!!!! Trust me on THAT!

Comments about Striped Patio Dress by National®:
This is my 2nd dress. I purchased one last year and liked it so well. I like this dress as it is 100% cotton as I don't like material that has polyester in it for hot summer days. Also, I liked it because it doesn't have flowers or patterns all over it which is just not my style.

The main problem is the material wrinkling soo much. Cannot wear but @ home when no one comes over due to wrinkle and I will not iron casual wear.

I purchased 3 colors and I just love them. To dress up I wear a crochet shrug (black) looks so nice. Several compliments.

Comments about Striped Patio Dress by National®:
The material is exceptonally nice--a sturdy, appealing fabric and the workmanship is good. Particularly appreciate the pockets! A little disappointed that it needs touch-up ironing and also appears to have shrunk some in the dryer.

Comments about Striped Patio Dress by National®:
I get many compliments when I wear this dress. I wear it shopping, dinner at local pub and it is so comphy. The only thing I don't care about it is that it looks better with a bit of ironing after it is laundered. I HATE to iron.

Comments about Striped Patio Dress by National®:
These inexpensive dresses are great for everyday wear when the weather is in the 80s and 90s. I gave two to my sister and she couldn't believe how cool they are on a hot summer day! I have been wearing them for ten years or more.

This dress is very well made. The yoke is multi layers so it's a little heavy but the way it looks more than makes up for it. It's also a beautiful cotton so it's very wearer-friendly
