Lovely LS
Silky blouse, fitted but not clingy like other sheer shirts. I wore it with pants, not the matching skirt, since it was little much together.

Fit is fine and cutouts are cute, but the vaguely tribal pattern and color are dated. Giving 2018.

Wide leg jeans with a petite friendly inseam
It was such a treat to wear these wide leg jeans that didn’t scruff against the bottom of the floor when I wore tennis shoes. The fabric is nice and light. I did end up, washing them and hang drying them once since they stretched out a bit. But it was worth it for a casual pair of wide leg jeans that I could wear without heels.

Fun pants but too baggy for me
Wore to a daytime event I hosted. They’re a bit baggier than I prefer for my petite frame. I pinned up the hems about an inch and a half so I could wear tennis shoes instead of high heels. Sidenote, what shoes do you even wear with them? My black pointy toed suede boots were too dark. The brown ones didn’t match. These shoes need something more casual like tennis shoes, but the very long hemline made that challenging. This one’s for you, tall queens.

Perfectly silky patterned blouse
I wasn’t sure how things would net out when I rented this. Would it be too blocky and stiff? With the sleeves puff up? Would it tuck in nicely? Well, my friends, this is such a great shirt. It’s thinner than you expect so it sits perfectly and tuck in to jeans or slacks exactly how you want it to. You can dress it down with a pair of jeans or accessorize for a more buttoned down affair. Rent this one.

Pretty dress, but
But I couldn’t figure out where to wear it. First, the dress was hard to get over my slim hips. Why? Someone sewed over the zipper. Mind you, I got it on without tearing, but an odd start. The color/print is fine. It could have used a slightly less modest neckline (especially since the bust was very tight). And the bust seams landed in the middle of my bust- which shouldn’t have happened, but not super noticeable. Lovely for someone with a slimmer bust. I enjoyed wearing it on date night.

Loved wearing this skirt to a daytime event I hosted. It flows beautifully and hit me at ankle. The pockets held multitudes and the fitted waist ensured the skirt didn’t slip despite said multitudes. Say yes.

Wore it everywhere in Hawaii - beach to dinner to night out. Fit so much in it (3 pairs of sunglasses, a rash guard, two phones, snacks, cover-up) and yet it never overwhelmed my petite frame. Yes yes yes.

10/10 fit. Slightly thick so everything stays put. The length was perfect for a petite gal. I wore it to a black and white themed event - I’d definitely rent again for the right occasion.

Perfect pant for me (from waist down to ankle)
These fit so perfectly and bring back memories of the boot cut jean era. Where did those wonderfully fitted jeans go and why did we forsake them for wide leg high waist? These made me look trimmer and taller and 70s disco queen-er. I styled them with brown suede round toed booties and allowed me to wear them all around without scraping the ground. The cut out flare was fun- not essential but then no one can call this a 2000 era Gap bootcut cord. I will rent again or buy them.

Fun pair of wide leg jeans with a booty cinch
Airy fit, though the cotton blend stretched out when I wore them once. I pinned the waist to fit better (these are 25s and I usually wear 24, so that is part of the issue). The length was just too long that I needed to wear heels vs sneakers. They looked just right when styled with a form fitting top and pointy heels.

This print is everything. Unfortunately the fit was lacking for me. The front flattened my chest. Great pick for someone taller and with less curves.

Pretty but I couldn’t figure out where to wear it
First- wow the fit is amazing. It sucked everything in just right. The dress was too tight and black to wear to work during the day. And, with long sleeves I couldn’t dress it down with a jacket or vest (too hot!). It could work for a winter work dinner and conference.

Daytime dress
Okay fit (the chest was unbearably long) and the flow was great. Very comfortable. I pinned the chest since it looked weird to have such an extended plunge. The seam should be higher to fit under the breast. The color was much lighter in person. I was expecting emerald and got spring green. Better to wear for a daytime wedding or fancy brunch.

Pretty print and color for an evening party. Flattering and easy to wear, though it’s a lot of dress (lightweight fabric but covered most of my body). As a petite person, Farm Rio tends to overwhelm me. They should make petites!

Form-fitting stunner ready for the spotlight.
Gorgeous dress with an flattering fit. I’m 5’2 and have so much trouble finding dresses that look fantastic. The top was almost perfect, not too loose or long, though I could have used some tape to keep my bra in place. The length is forgiving for taller or shorter people; I wore 3.5” heels though one could wear a lower heel. I didn’t quite fill out the rear so there’s room for folks who are more blessed in that department. Highly recommend this form fitting, flattering all-in-one dress.
