The Exercise Dress
The verdict
Fit
Activewear cuts run athletic and tend tight. Likely designed for movement, so sizing probably runs small; try on if possible.
Quality
At this clearance price, construction is basic. Seams may fray with repeated washing; expect 1-2 years of light wear.
Price check
USD 29.97 is clearance pricing, not true value. The original price was likely 3-4x higher; this is excess inventory.
Best for
A budget shopper looking for a summer activity dress or someone who treats clothes as seasonal throwaways.
Care
Machine wash cold and line dry; avoid the dryer to extend seam life.

What owners report about Outdoor Voices dresses
Outdoor Voices' dress range centers on the Exercise Dress, and third-party testers are broadly positive: reviewers describe a wicking nylon-spandex fabric with a drape they find flattering, built-in liner shorts with a phone-sized side pocket, and a fit most call true to size. The recurring criticisms are functional — the bodice gives little bust support without a layered bra, the liner shorts run short and can ride up and chafe on longer runs, and the built-in liner makes bathroom trips awkward. Several testers also flag the roughly $100 price as the main sticking point, and a few owners report strap wear after repeated washing.
- Strengths
- Testers consistently praise a comfortable, moisture-wicking dress that looks presentable enough to wear beyond workouts, with genuinely useful built-in shorts and a phone pocket.
- Watch out for
- Low bust support, short liner shorts that can ride up and chafe on runs, awkward bathroom logistics from the built-in liner, and scattered reports of straps wearing out after several washes.
- Sizing
- Reviewers report the fit runs true to size (a few say slightly small), and taller owners tend to size up because the built-in shorts can peek out below the skirt.
