This is the first time I've been dissatisfied with a product from KJP. The dress does not look like the advertised picture. It is much darker and brown than portrayed online.
This plaid Kiel James Patrick long-sleeve maxi is timeless rustic elegance at its best. Beautifully made with soft, warm flannel, it’s both cozy and polished. The classic plaid and flowing silhouette photographed beautifully and made it absolutely perfect for family photos—an effortless, heirloom-worthy piece you’ll reach for year after year.
I pre-ordered this dress, and in the meantime ordered another KJP long flannel dress (Wellesley Creek "WC"). The WC dress came first, and it was an overall huge hit. That's why when this Apple Cinnamon ("AC") finally arrived and I tried it on, it was disappointing. Firstly, in comparison this AC dress is notcieably shorter in length in the same size (size 10) than the WC dress. According to the KJP website AC should have been longer at 56'' and the WC dress is 55''. This is just not the case. The dress length ends a good 5 inches above my ankles. Disappointment #1. THEN, I didn't realize it until I was going through reviews but another reviewer mentioned the pocket placement on this AC dress being awful. IT IS AWFUL! If you are bottom heavy or pear-shaped these pockets will only accentuate your unflattering saddlebags. If you are a stick figure, this may help you appear to have hips albeit very triangular hips. It's bad enough that I am actually thinking about ripping the pockets out and adding a 3-5 inch hem line to the bottom so it's doesn't end so high above my ankles. It's just an awkward/unflattering length for me (it will still show skin if you wear it with a high-top bootie). Disappointment #2. And now, something good....I will say that while my chest does not fit into the other WC dress, my chest actually successfully buttons in this dress without looking like I'm about to burst out (I'm a 32 DDD). So my range of motion on my upper-half is great, but now I just feel like I look like an oompa-lumpa even though I'm super comfortable and warm. I love this look. I love the much nicer AC belt. I love KJP dresses in general, and I have purchased a lot of KJP clothing, but I don't know what I'm going to do with this dress. I hate the length and the pocket placement. I'm not sure it's worth my time to try and fix myself or return it. :(
Dress is gorgeous and true to size. Unlike a lot of tie waist dresses that are cut straight, this has a slight flare that creates a really smooth fit and no bunching fabric. Length and fabric were great. My only complaint is the bust was a tad tight and I’m hardly large on top as a 36 B. I wore a size 6 at 5’ 7” 140 lbs.
I purchased this dress to wear to a dinner at my horse club, it was a huge hit! I got so many compliments all night long. The pattern definitely makes a statement but in a really fun way.
The fit was consistent with another flannel maxi dress I purchased from KJP. For reference, I ordered a size 2. My measurements are 30C, 27" waist, and 38" hips. It was a perfect fit through my shoulders, I had a little bit to spare around my waist, and plenty around my hips with the A-line shape. I will say, I think the dress shrinks just a titch with washing so keep that in mind if you're on the border for sizing. It came just mid calf lengthwise, I'm 5'3".
The material is a nice soft flanner, I didn't have any issues being able to see through it.
The only thing I didn't love was that the belt doesn't stay exactly as you put it. Mine would loosen up just a little as I moved, so I would retighten it as needed.
Overall, I love this dress!
I LOVE THIS DRESS!! It’s so comfortable and soft!!
Soft. Cozy. Cute. Quality. Fits according to size chart.
I ordered the harvest flannel maxi dress and I love it, with some caveats. As others noted, I ordered a size up for fit in the chest, and then the dress needed to be hemmed to appropriate length. However it’s very very soft and warm, so the small alteration was not a big deal to get the perfect fit. I would also note this plaid is giving more green than blue in most lighting, but it’s still quite flattering, especially with red hair! The attached photo is quite true to color.
I love my second dress every bit as much as the first! The fit (size 4) is amazing, and does not need the belt, for which I am most thankful. Please give us more plaid choices; I could live in these dresses! The sleeve length is slightly long but easily remedied by turning- up the cuff once.
The flannel is so very soft. It’s so cozy and lovely for fall. It isn’t lined, which no one will be surprised by, so find a slip on Amazon. The other reviews saying the fit is unforgiving in the chest are completely correct. I’m a B/C and it pulls a bit on me (size 8). But not in a way that creates an opening.
Again with KJP, the colors are just a little off. This also happened with what I call my “March” sweater: green, pink, and yellow with sheep - adorable, but the colors just aren’t as vibrant as the product photos.
I agree with some of the other reviews, pocket placement a little strange. Also, if you have larger breasts, it will pull. I got a larger size because of it, so fit is a little off. But super comfy, fits New England Fall vibes.
Color is not the same as in the pictures . The picture shows a much bluer dress
It's so warm, and the material is soft. Great fit all around. I want one in every color.
I love the style and quality of this dress. However, as with all KJP dresses I have purchased, the material has absolutely no give and is not at all tailored for women with larger busts. I am keeping it but boy do I have to smoosh myself into it up top! I would love to see a little more give in the bust line for some breathing room!
I've been a customer of Kiel James Patrick for five years now, and I purchased 20 items just in the first few months of 2026. Although I'm very disappointed that more of the KJP items seemed to be made in China, and this results in some disappointing quality issues, the Stonewall Pasture Maxi flannel dress with the horse design on it is lovely.
The designs are well executed, the horse horses look beautiful, the flannel is very soft, and it is a beautiful dress. However, it fits extremely small in the bust, so I would recommend sizing up 2 to 3 sizes if you are a C cup or a D cup. I purchased both the flannel Stonewall Pasture shirt with the horse design as well as the flannel stonewall pasture dress with the horse design. Both are really lovely and recommended.
I have gotten compliments on this dress every time I wear it. Fits perfectly and is so cozy. Even though it is made of flannel it still feels great even on a cooler spring day. High quality and a classic fit makes for a dress I will be wearing for years to come.
So comfortable
This cozy Kiel James Patrick dress is very pretty and I like the little cabin detail on it. This dress is unique and at an event in the Winter I wore a shorter version of the Kiel James Patrick flannel dress and got so many compliments on it. I was always asked "where did you buy that dress"! For me the size 4 was a perfect fit. I am 5'4" and weigh around 104 pounds. I had no issues with the size at my bust. It comes to my ankles and I'll be wearing boots with it this Fall/Winter.
This dress is so comfortable and looks so good.
Loved the fabric and the look of the dress, however the sizing is a little small. It was too tight across the chest and the waistline was a little high. I will be returning for a larger size.
I absolutely LOVE this dress!!!
I’m 5’11” and the length is perfect!!
Was quite disappointed in this dress. Very cozy, true to size. I have another and the sizing is the same but the color Highland Harvest is NOT how it looks in the picture. Red is significantly more prominent and feels too Christmasy. Colors are just not as vibrant or as pretty as displayed. The embroidered icon on the chest was also distracting and cheapened the whole thing. Ended up returning, $20 return cost was higher than I had anticipated too.
This dress is perfect. It’s comfortable, it has seams in all the flattering places. The belt is a perfect addition. I’m addicted to it and I need it in every color for every season. More like this, KJP!!
This is the ideal flannel shirt dress style I had in mind. The flannel is soft and neither stiff nor thin. I like the longer length and the black watch plaid. This fits my US size 6 well. I only wish that the logo was a pin or some other removable unit for a different look. It distracts rather than embellishes IMHO. Overall, this is a nice, well made dress.
I received my dress and a few days later wore it to my child's Christmas concert. Turning heads left and right, I've received so many compliments wearing it. My only complaint would be it's made in China. Would love to see this brand transition to made in America.
