loved this dress! back has a straw buckle. really nice breathable material and not too short!

So fun!! I got so many compliments on this one. The back is a bit loose and the buckle doesn’t do much, but this dress was perfect for a luau/tropical trip. I felt so confident in this one. I would typically go for a M in shorter dresses, but glad I went with S. Would rent again! 

The cutest little dress! I went back home to Jamaica to visit family, and wore it out… I rented in the past and my actual size was too big on top & I couldn’t wear it. This time In sized down and it worked out! 

Love love love. So fun & unique. Mini dresses are almost always too short on me, but this was just right. As others said, there’s something not quite right about the back buckle, but it’s workable 

This dress is absolutely precious, and I had compliments all night long. However, it does fit oddly. It gaps significantly under the arm pits (read this from other reviews as well). I am pretty large in the breast, and the top of the dress was still big. I had to use bobby pins to lift the straps to hide the gapping. The material wrinkles easily. But all in all, I would still highly recommend this dress for rental, because even though it took some work to make it fit right, it was simply adorable and fun to wear! 

The dress strap fit great on the tightest loop but the skirt was slightly too loose. It worked fine but wish I went a size down! Was so cute for dinner out on vacation. Would definitely rent again!

Nonstop compliments all night in this dress! Perfect for an event at the zoo - bright print, fun to wear, and lightweight. I’m a true smedium (small-medium) and sized down after reading the reviews. Being smaller chested, the belt was still too big in the back. I tried to use fashion tape to skip the hole, but didn’t really work. It wasn’t a deal breaker and still looked cute!

I read several reviews before renting this dress but ended up ordering my true size despite others telling people to size down. I am a true 4 with a small top and larger bottom. The dress was adorable and I received many compliments on it! But unfortunately, the top was a little too big. I wore this dress on vacation in Mykonos with sticky boobs and it was the perfect day-time dress to walk around and shop in. If I owned it, I would definitely have the top taken in by a tailor. Overall, I enjoyed this dress so much! Too cute. 

Ordered a small (normally small or medium) and had to hold it back in this pick, the waist was really large on me! Overall great dress though 

I rented this for a Havana Party. Although the print was perfect, the dress runs big. The opening in the back was cute, but I couldn't make it any tighter, so it had gaps on the side. 

So many compliments coming at this dress for its totally original. There is an open back with a belt buckle across the back giving a very unique touch. This is such a fun happy print, you can't go wrong.

Loved this dress! Ended up wearing it multiple times to many different events and always got compliments! Fun and full of pop

I just loved the banana pattern for my trip to Costa Rica. However the back buckle (I tried to show in the photo) was definitely quite loose even on the tightest buckle. You can't really wear a bra with this dress and the material/shape isn't super flattering. But I still love the pattern so much it's great for something casual

I wore this wore a luau themed birthday party and the print was absolutely adorable. The colors were so bright and fun and I got so many compliments. I should've known this would be a little big because I think Farm Rio runs large in general. An XS would've been perfect on me but the S was still wearable. 

The pattern makes this mini dress super fun! As other reviewers have said, the back buckle gives you a little bit of trouble, but if you have someone who's able to help you with it you can get it set right. Flattering through the waist and bust and loved the short length! Short but not too short! The straps on the shoulder may be a tad long, but nothing I felt bothered by. Would rent this again! (For reference, I am 5'4", 120lbs rectangle shape!)

Love the print but the fit wasn't great- the top is bigger than the bottom. The clasp in the back kept coming undone- my friends had to keep buckling me all day 

runs big. Wish i sized down. The print is fun but awkward puckering

The straps were too long for me and not adjustable. Dress was a little too short. I had dinner and immediately took it off... fun for photos tho 

Was super cute for the first night of vacay! The buckle in the back wasn't the best but the dress was so cute I didn't even care! 

Loved this dress for our beach vaca. The colors were even better in person, and the detail of the back was adorable. Got so many compliments and felt great in the dress!

(See pic) - the back is just a buckle. Literally. But there was a missing piece preventing me from clasping it. Probably could've worn and just safety pinned, but the fit was funky in the chest and straps. It was almost too loose up top, which made sides bulge when the back was cinched. Loved the pattern but maybe if the dress wasn't missing a key part it would've worked! The fabric is so comfy and no need to wear a bra because it's thick enough. 

The back was a little loose with the belt but it was fine! Got so many compliments. Wore in Jamaica! 

This was a cute dress but it did make me look a bit bigger. 

Wore this to a beach wedding welcome party and it was perfect! Super fun dress that you could dress up or down. The small was a little big in the waist for me, but the chest fit perfectly so I would say it's pretty true to size. 

Loved this dress! Wore it for a beach rehersal dinner and got so many compliments. It fit well all over, was just a little big on the back where the belt is. Only thing is it seems to wrinkle easy because of the material, so it's best when standing. overall I would get this dress again, it was so fun!

The open back with the rattan belt buckle makes the whole dress. Don't get me wrong, the Warhol-esque print is fabulous, but you will make a statement coming and going. I would try stick on cups if I rented this again. 

Lightweight linen dress with thin liner. Great colors and fun belt closure. As with all things linen this dress stretched out and wrinkled in the waist area as the night went on... but still loved it. 

This fit so perfectly for my Hawaiian vacation. I loved it so much I had to keep it and buy it. Got so many compliments!

This dress was so cute and fun! Rented it for just everyday. It ran a bit large in the waist and around my back

Loved this dress! Got both the M & L. The medium was tight across the hips but the large was generally too big everywhere. I ended up wearing shapewear and that really helped me feel more confident. The pulling on the hips drew a lot of attention to my belly and the shapewear helped conceal that a bit more. Overall I felt sooo 🔥 and comfortable and confident! Got tons of compliments on this really unique wonderful dress!

The top gaps at the sides and the straps slip, but the bottom fits well. The fabric holds its shape but does wrinkle. Fabric is mid-weight and not see through. I also ordered a small and almost wore it because the top fit well but the bottom was just too tight for an active night out. Glad I got the medium but I had to be very careful all night to not let the straps fall! I could have used tape to help but I didn't. There is probably an ideal body type for this dress but I know it was not mine! 

I just knew I was going to love this dress and figured it couldn't be bad. I was wrong.  It ran so big and looked a mess. I couldn't tighten the back strap more since it only had maybe two holes to adjust. So it was baggy in the bust. And big in the hips and I have large hips for my little size. I had to layer it which takes away from the sexy open back. I wouldn't have worn it but I had no time to come up with a new outfit. Made it work but was really bummed. 

I followed some of the reviews and sized up and it turned out too big!! i had to pin it in crazy places it would have looked waaay better and would have been way more comfy if it fit right :( but got loads of compliments! the pattern is so cute

I received more compliments on this dress! It is so cute and fun! Between the open back and the banana print, you can't help but smile and feel carefree wearing this number! I did have to enlist my daughter to help me buckle the back strap so it's not super easy to put on by yourself. And it ran slightly large, but that just made it even more comfy! I love this dress and will definitely be renting more of the brand! 

Ok...so this dress didn't exactly fit correctly. The straps are very long, and if I were to keep it I'd have to alter it b/c they aren't adjustable. It was also a big large around my waist. Perhaps a small would have been better, but honestly I didn't care. I wore this dress as much as I could. It was fun and comfortable and just a joy to wear. If it had fit better, I would have bought it. Might even rent it again and try the small.
