Shimmery Snake

This snake dress was shimmery which made it fancier. Too small and short for me though. Since I have a larger stomach but a slim figure, it can sometimes give the appearance of being pregnant (thanks, genetics.) I tend to opt for fit-and-flare designs that help conceal my stomach.

Embroidery!

The fabric was embroidered beautifully. I thought it was a print originally. Nice length. Too small for me sadly.

Gorgeous Tiers

Marchesa Notte is one of my favorite designers. Gorgeous Tiers. Fabric was quality. I hope to get this dress in the future.

The embroidery is beautiful!

I loved the embroidery, and the dress was of high quality. It was a bit too small to fully zip, but I wore a cardigan over it and still managed to wear it out a couple of times. The adjustable shoulder straps were a nice feature. I would definitely rent it again—it’s such a pretty dress, and it conceals my stomach better than most.

Beautiful Snake Print

I love this beautiful print and that it is flowly. It does not wrinkle and has a side zipper. I was pleasantly surprised that the size 8 fit me, but I decided to trust the reviews—and I’m glad I did!

Straps fall, too big overall.

I chose this dress for its unique print and bead details. I've tried other Farm Rio dresses in both L and XL, but this one fit like a tent, with the straps constantly slipping down. It wasn’t wearable, even around the house. Definitely recommend sizing down.

Shows Bumps

I choose this dress for the barbiecore theme. This is a form-fitting dress which I did not expect. It shows every bump, especially the back. This dress would work for a thinner person than me.

Different Pattern on Back

This dress fabric was great quality and a soft feeling. I wore it a lot in various settings. The back has a different pattern than the front. It does not wrinkle and has a back zipper.

Pretty but Low Out

The fabric looks even more beautiful in person. However, the neckline is quite low, or the straps might have been stretched out. It was fine while standing, but when sitting, it became too revealing, so I ended up pairing it with a sweater.

Pattern and Sleeves are so pretty

I have a larger stomach but a thin body, which can make me look pregnant. Thanks, genetics. I try to conceal my stomach, this dress clinged as see in photos. I did wear it out though. I took photos in a bra to highlight areas where it might show and where the straps might fall. I also only wear flat shoes."

Everyday dress.

Not for those who have a bit of a tummy. Even a bandaid outline can be seen in this area. Nice detailing though.
