The verdict
Fit
Outdoor Voices dresses skew loose and athletic. Expect a relaxed, functional fit; size to your normal range.
Quality
At this price, construction is better than the clearance dresses but still typical athletic-brand standard—not artisanal, not delicate.
Is the price fair?
USD 168 is mid-premium for a mass-market activewear brand. The price is built on brand name, not fabric or construction novelty.
Best for
A loyal Outdoor Voices customer who likes their design aesthetic and can afford the brand markup.
Care
Machine wash in cold water and air dry to preserve color and elasticity.
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.
