Wish It Had a Collar and Was Longer
I love the print but found the neckline unflattering and the length was awkward.

Flashed my boss accidentally
The torso is super tight and I was talking to my boss and he said my buttons were undone. Oops! The bust fit but the rib cage is at least a size smaller than a 12. Can’t wait to go home and take this off! Thankfully I had a jacket in my office. 😂

The woes of a single woman: couldn't zip by myself
Got this to wear to a gala but couldn't contort enough to zip it myself. Thankfully I had a backup dress.

A twist on a blazer
The wrapped front and button make this an interesting blazer that goes with a lot. I could see keeping it at work for surprise meetings during the spring and summer.

I used it every day!
The gold detail made this bag a standout and got me to serial downsize what I carry everyday. I carried it for work and to a gala. Beautifully made!

Comfortable but made me feel like I was hiding myself
I wore this to an event because it was a safe bet. I should have gotten out of my comfort zone and out of my head. Being larger than most doesn't mean I have to wear black and sleeves.

Beautiful quality: lots of compliments
Runs large. People stopped to compliment this dress. It made me feel great. I think even at my size a medium may have been a better option.

I thought I looked great until...
Someone took a photo of my table at a lunch fundraiser and my chest looked humongous. It's my body type with extra weight on. I think a shirt dress or one without a defined waist is more flattering. Gorgeous dress, though.

Another Agolde Win!
The cut of the legs made my legs look slim when seated. I was amazed. I ordered a size 30 the next time and may just buy them if they fit.

Runs Big. A Versatile Work Skirt.
I’ve been looking for a pencil skirt that is midi length and easy to walk in. This is it. I’ve rented it twice in size 12 and am waiting for the 10 to arrive for comparison. I could see myself as a go-to staple for the office.

Stunning and Work Appropriate
Several women stopped to say they love the dress. Farm Rio shirt dresses are cut for large busts. I’m a 10 and got a large because I didn’t want to be self-conscious or fumbling with the buttons at a conference. I love a one-and-done business professional look. This made me stand out just the right amount. Wish I could have kept it. I’ll rent it again.

I ordered an XL to fit loosely on top and am glad I did. This dress made me feel polished. I paired it with suede tall boots with a high heel. I'll definitely rent it again. Prepare for compliments.

Pattern is awkward
Fits a full size smaller than the Anthro version. I got and XL and wear a solid 10 at Anthro. Pattern was off: one breast was black and one white! The white side made my chest look huge! I wore a blazer over it for a fundraiser lunch.

Weird fit, didn't wear it
The waist wasn't quite ruched and spanx and underwear showed through at the waistline. Very high neckline! I couldn't wear it. Pretty colors though.

Felt tight in the rib cage qnd bust
The dress fit tight and smushed my breasts like a sports bra. The rib cage felt tight. I’m a 29 or 30 in jeans and 34F. The ruching sat high on me. I’m not particularly long waisted. I think at 5’10” the proportions are off for me. The sleeves were flattering.

Nearly Impossible to Zip without Help
I wore it to work with it unzipped below my shoulder blades hoping a friend would be there to zip it for me. The only one at work was my male boss. I made sure not to walk past him. Then I struggled and got into some contortionist poses to get it zipped! The photos aren't accurate. It doesn't have buttons.
