I have long loved Farm Rio prints and the idea of their jumpsuits. But I’ve often found them to be shapeless and overwhelming when it comes to fit. This one is the exception! It has a long fitted waist, with strong snaps that hold in place but are easier to navigate than buttons. That “Pilates” anchor makes the volume on the top (ruffles) and bottom (manageably wide leg) just work. For a body type like mine (Medium on top, usually Large in butt/thigh), it was perfect and flattering in a Medium. Lots of compliments. Worn for a day at trade show with lots of client meetings, but could easily dress up with the right shoes.

Fits just like it looks - clingy, but not aggressively so. I'm just getting back into non-tent dressing post-baby #2, and this gently eased me a few steps forward. One thing: Sleeves were long on me (I often have this problem), and hard to roll tastefully because they have a slight bell.

Wore this 2x with a full slip from another dress. Per other reviewers, definitely too low cut to wear alone, but with the slip (superior to a cami, I think, cause it stays put, and adds some nice movement to the skirt), it was a very easy wear, and flattering for my pear shape. Almost bought it.

I sized up and that was the wrong move: This dress needs to be a bit more fitted to really work. I pulled it over my head, and only later realized it had a side zipper. The skirt is more A-line and fuller than it looks, and the pattern falls a bit unfortunately in the hip area: Those lines were basically measuring my width. Yet, this could have probably been solved if I went with confidence instead of fear, and ordered my usual size. That said, I don't feel compelled to try again.

As other reviewers said, this is a wrap like no other. It's a wisp of a dress - airy and loose and all silk - which made me nervous at first. But it sits beautifully - even down to the lowish-cut top remaining in place. Ample enough skirt to wrap without tightness. It keeps its movement. I may buy it!

Got this for my daughter's 3rd bday party, which had a ballerina theme. It's a substantial dress, which I loved - lots of volume and weight to the skirt, which lets it sit nicely. Only complaint was that the top buttonholes on my particular garment were so stretched out that they couldn't hold the buttons, and I ended up flashing the whole party a few times. I wore it to work the next day with a cami underneath - which kind of ruined the airiness of the eyelet.

I have wide hips and this was surprisingly flattering. A pleasure to wear. Requires a bra with thin straps (lest they show).

For the first time in my life, something was tight on the top but not on the bottom! Perhaps because of the pleats, this fit the thigh area just fine (a bit tight in the calves if you happen to have "athletic" ones). But the top was tight, particularly with a strapless bra. I'm a 36A so was rather surprised. Still, it was fun to wear. Heavy fabric; felt like a wool blend. Would wear it again, perhaps with bright shoes.
