Nope.
After other FarmRio outfits were big I got excited for these. They were just big enough to get on. But they're basically Umbro shorts (material and inner underwear) so I don't see what FarmRio was trying to do. My hips are 47" for reference.

It was big. It zips up the back. The top makes it difficult to find a matching bra. I ended up wearing a sports bra but I think it's intended for smaller-chested people. Overall I wore it around the house but was uncomfortable on zoom and walking the dog in it.

Brunch-able
It fit really well, and that's coming from a woman who can't wear button down anything. No gaps, no tape needed. I'm 41-37-47 for reference. I would have bought it but not for $400.

Good fit, even for busty gals
I was impressed. Button downs don't usually work for me. But this one did. If I had been going to an office and not a zoom meeting I probably would have taped/pinned the buttons cause there was a small gap occasionally. But overall it fit perfectly - even at the waist and hips.

Didn't fit, too small
I did some extensive looking into this before renting. I read all the reviews and looked up their size chart. I was certain this should fit, but nope, when I went to try it on I could barely button any of the buttons. Those that did had huge gaps. I'm generally a 14/16, so was super sad this didn't work out. It looks really cute on everyone else.

Don't know what I was expecting
But it wasn't this. I have tried many rompers from here and none have ever fit. I'm shocked this xl onesie was too big. I'm interested in other farm rio items now but this was a no go.

Looked like a sack on but comfy so idgaf
Not your normal Kate Spade sweater. But it's covid. It's winter. I don't care that this didn't fit me like the models. Maybe the neckline has been stretched? Idk. Idc. I wore it multiple times and never needed a jacket. Running from the car to the grocery store to the pet food store (nowhere else to go during covid) and it was perfect for all that. Just too big. But I think if I sized down you'd see all the rolls in my stomach and I wouldn't have liked that either.

Comfy and long and even maybe a little large
This would be great for daytime, quasi-formal affair. Needs a strapless bra as there's no support. I was certain this wouldn't fit over my hips but turns out it's plenty roomy everywhere. I don't think I could've sized down. It's insanely long, I recommend heels. I ended up wearing while I wfh during covid and it was fine.

Runs big, Comfy and different
I rented this for a wfh over the holiday weekend thing. These were a bit too big but I wore them anyway. It was insanely comfortable around the house and walking the dog.

Good for work
It has a little stretch so I was comfortable wearing this at work. I'm in between sizes, and was stoked this dress worked out. I am on the fence about buying it too...it's that good.

This is like wearing a hot bag with tassels
Rented it for work but it did not fit well at all so i never wore it. It was one of the most unflattering things I've put on. Super baggy up top, but just fine in the waist...and then there's the fake button down? Maybe size down if you're in between. But would be good for work in the winter. I liked the length which was around mid calf. But that was about all I liked.

I think it's see through.
I wore this on a casual Friday and was uncomfortable all day. That's not because my underwear was working overtime, but because the entire thing is rather see through. This might be because the XL was a little too small (I'm a 14 usually) when it shouldn't have been. The length was fine, but if you're curvy you must wear the right underwear to make this look good.

A hot mess. Too risqué for my work.
I write this wearing a sweater over my dress at work to cover my almost fully exposed bra. It is too much for any public occasion. One should own a lot of fashion tape to make this work. The waist and length is good, but I really don't know why designers can't get busts right.

Too sexy for work
This hugs every curve so I really shouldn't have worn it with leggings to work. I kept a jacket on most of the day because I was uncomfortable. But it was definitely the most sexy I felt walking to and from work!

Didn't fit around my hips
Also it zips up the back. Why on earth would a jumpsuit zip up the back? Thankfully it didn't fit up over my hips so I didn't have to worry about the bathroom issue.

Cute and comfy for summer.
I bet this is better for more formal daytime gatherings. But i wore it to work with no issues. I had my concerns that It might have made me look like I was expecting, but when a "friend" of mine made an unsolicited comment to how cute I was, I stopped worrying. I might actually wear it again before i return it. I'll definitely rent again sometime. *curvy girls will need safety pins for gaps in the buttons*

New with tags, but only wearable if you have a giant right boob.
As you can see it's a bit revealing. I added a tank top but no matter what I couldn't get the right boob flat to lay anywhere close to my body. I ended up not wearing it because of that. Maybe I needed more tape and pins, but I didn't have them. The rest was fine. The color is lovely. Sad it didn't work out.
Orna Wrap Dress

A little casual for work, but still good for work.
Wrap dresses usually do me well. This one was good, only needed a little fashion tape to hold the chest part down. It does tend to fly around in the breeze, which made me think i ordered a size too small. But the chest & waist fit, so idk, just be aware.
Nola Safari Shirt Dress
Habitual
Size Worn: XLR
Usual Size: 14

Super comfy.
Rented this for work. Lightweight fabric is great for hot days. Overall it is very comfy, but a little loose in the chest area. The waist fit perfectly well, thankfully it has an elastic band. The slits on the side go up a bit too much for work, but it's easy enough to keep conservative for the office. I'll probably rent again.

Big in the bust, tight in the waist
I'm curvy, so I'm used to button down shirts not fitting. I was surprised that the dress fit loosely across the bust and tight around my waist. Even with the "right underwear" on I still had the garment pulling. I'm a true 14W in most everything I wear, so this was a little sad. But I wore it anyway and it was more or less comfortable all day. I did feel conscious about it when i sat down, but not enough to distract me from meetings or anything. I don't think I'll rent again.

Works better for non-curvy people
I have to believe this top is made for stick-straight body types. When I put it on, my chest pushed the shirt out so much I looked like I had a soft, billowy paper bag on. If you don't mind losing all the shape of your upper half, this is a good choice.

Didn't fit. Went back.
I'm a 14/16 in pants, but these jeans didn't even get past my calves. Never have athletic calves stopped me from wearing pants...until now. I bet they're cute if they fit you though.

Seems versatile for winter parties so i bought it
It's a stretch waist, comfortable to wear and fun to touch. I can see this being useful at many a winter parties since it's just a black pencil skirt...but velvety. Did I mention how much fun it is to touch? ASMR fashion in a skirt.
