Like walking in a silky cloud
I love the look and feel of this dress! The silk fabric is so luxurious and soft, and light as a feather.
The design elevates it beyond a simple summer garment. Although the fit is loose, it is exceptionally flattering. Can be worn a number of ways from simple and informal to dressy depending on accessories.

I just love this dress !
I'm 76 and i need to have couple of nice dresses in my closet for any eventuality of an occasion that may come my way as life happens. They need be comfortable, hide my big tummy, give me ease of movement and above all make me look terrific. I want to be able to eat, move, bend and twist if needed and still be comfortable and look good. Natural fabric preferred. This silk dress fits all and i absolutely love it on me. I am usually PS in EF but all i could find was XS and got it. Extra length suits me fine and it is loose on me. Ordered 2nd one, black, XXS because that is all i could find and am hoping for the best.
I am 4'11" 118 lbs. My hat is off to the designer and to EF for bringing it into my life. Couldn't be happier. Highly recommend it.👒

Perfect under basic for a wedding ensemble
Topped with a beautiful silk kimono, I was one of the best dressed older ladies at a June wedding in the Midwest. Accessorized with gold shoes.

Light, comfortable but strange, shiny fabric
This dress is light and comfortable for those hot, humid summer days because it floats on the body. I don’t love the fabric which looks like a taffeta slip. I cannot seem to get the creases out with a warm iron.

An essential if you want style and a classic look
I wanted a classic dress that could be a staple for events and life. I wanted to count on looking good and dress it up as needed. Great color. Clean style and classic. I have the tiered pleated silk one and together they can take me to events all over the world.

Quintessential Little Black Dress
I could not love this dress more. It can be dressed up or worn as a casual dress with runners. It is the best thing I purchased in 2026. It is the quintessential little black dress.

Gorgeous, Classy Dress!
Truly lovely silk dress! I am 5 ft 3 in and weight 133 lbs. I started with the size S which swallowed me whole! Sized down to XS which was still quite voluminous. I did not give up hope. I love this dress just had to find the correct size. Finally I tried XXS which is an absolutely stunning fit on me. I paired it with the linen cropped cardigan. Perfect outfit. Personally I believe this dress looks best in black. So if the first one that you purchase is too big size down at least 2 sizes. You’ll love it! Softest, highest quality silk. Perfect for a warm summer day!

This Beautiful Dress
This beautiful silk shift was needed for a long afternoon memorial. It looked absolutely beautiful the entire day. There were no “wear wrinkles “ at 6PM when I took it off. It is elegant.

A little comfy dress
I like this dress can dress it up or dress it down. Way over sized though. I usually wear a can in Eileen fisher but got an xxs. Fits perfect. Love the material! Great travel dress to! Very pretty

Flattering on every body type, even busty frames
This dress genuinely surprised me in the best way. I’m busty and often struggle with this style of neckline, but the fit was incredibly flattering and comfortable without pulling or feeling restrictive.
The silk is lightweight but still feels substantial, and the pleating adds beautiful movement without adding volume. It skims the body in a very forgiving way, making it work across different body types.
It’s very versatile. I can easily dress it up or keep it casual depending on shoes and accessories. It’s one of those effortless pieces that looks polished without trying.
Highly recommend.

Too billowy
Loose EF dresses fit me better in XS and I loved this dark blue as a black alternative. However, it was way too full to be flattering. I tried a size smaller in black in store and it was still very unflattering. I was so disappointed.

Perfect for a summer dinner on the patio
I bought this dress in "ink" to wear out for dinner. I wanted something light and classic. This dress is a beautiful colour and I love the details on the bodice. It's pretty enough for dress up and could be worn more casually with summer accessories like a rattan bag or sandals. I bought a large and it fits with ease and no clinging at the bust.

Silk Bateau Dress
The styling, elegant fabric and color were excellent. It was too big so I ordered a size smaller and am anxiously awaiting its delivery.

Lovely!
I love this dress! Beautiful silk that’s roomy and so light weight and flowy. I feel so pretty in it. I’ll wear to several occasions this spring summer and fall, casual and dressy! I bought it with the cardigan sweater and the colors match perfectly. Thank you EF for your insight into quality fabrics and designs!
