Makes Mid-section look flatter.
Every day dress to wear with sneakers. Nice and airy for warm summer months. Quite Trad, but that's ok sometimes. Can be dressed up with the right handbag, shoes or sandals. Great for beach vacation.

Beware the zipper!
This is the right size, but the zipper made it way too tight in the torso. I needed assistance with getting into this dress.

Too Trad Wife
I love, love feminine dresses. But wearing this one made me look like Laura Ingalls. Maybe it was the high collar. I wore very white trainers and a denim jacket to try to “modernize” this look. I think it didn’t work.

G.O.A.T. - Re-rented one of the Best
I will I could give this dress 6 stars. It is one of the best. It’s super elegant. The shape of the sleeves let you look really feminine without showing too much flabby arm. Wore it to fancy cocktails. Wore it to a rooftop party/BBQ. Probably should buy this one.

Very girly from Farm Rio
You love Farm Rio. I love Farm Rio. However, this series of dresses comes with a ruffle around the middle that made my tummy look a little big. Other than that, I loved the dress, and wore it to a fancy lunch. I won’t rent again.

If Only for the Sleeves
Wonderful dress, great for summer. Strappy sandals look great in it. It could have been perfect, but the sleeves are too tight. They have buttons, so i had to wear it with the sleeves unbuttoned. This dress could have been quite perfect.

Re-rented: A little gem.
Wonderful. Perfect little day dress for very hot, humid weather. The soft blue and soft flecks of peach together meant I could wear warm color makeup or cool colors and look very put to together. Wear this to brunch with Strappy sandals or a walk to the park/shopping on a chilly day with a denim jacket and white trainers. I would never think to buy a dress like this off the rack, so I’m glad it was available to rent.

Note to self. Avoid jumpers.
What is it with jumpers? They look good enough while standing, but sit down and they pull in so many directions. Also, it takes a while to get out of this jumpsuit, so leave plenty of time for your bathroom breaks.

Dress this down for a casual look.
This dress worked well with a denim jacket and sandals, also a denim jacket and white trainers. If only the sleeves were not so puffy. It’s only lots of layers, very feminine. But that looked so good with my denim jacket. Enjoy!

Perfect, other than the side-split
This dress was a great transition from winter to spring. The only problem was the split was a little too high. If you don’t mind a little leg showing when the wind blows, rent this dress.

If u like puffy sleeves & sometimes i do.
I don’t know. I really liked the pattern of this dress. There were blue and pink raspberries in the print. It’s something I’ve never worn before, and I thought it was smart, fun, and special. Getting those puffy sleeves into a denim jacket was a little weird, but worth it.

The stitching in the middle ruins it.
This could be a staple fall dress, if not for the strange stitching/pleats in the middle that make the dress buckle in the middle. It should cinch the waist, but buckles instead. The color is great, but you should pass on it.

I returned this coat in large for a medium. The medium fit so much better.

For Tall People
I'm 5'7" and this skirt was almost too long. I wore it several times, because the pattern is lovely, but not too complicated. Wear with a classic white button down, or a classic t shirt, and Strappy, tall sandals.

May require a shell top underneath.
Really classic, and feminine. It ran a little small, but a larger size, would have been too big in the bust area. (36C). It's classic, but can be flirty if you have the assets up top to pull it off. Wear a simple shell top underneath to keep it respectful.

If you like puffy sleeves, this is perfect!
So, the sleeves are a bit puffy. But this is the perfect summer, even Fall dress with brown leather sandals and a brown leather handbag. Feminine. Respectful. Forgiving waist. Classic, classic, classic.

There is a mistake in the bust stitch that makes it a little awkward.
The length of the dress was perfect and it fit nicely in the waist. However, there is a mistake in the stitching throughout the bust that makes the bust look too puffy. This may work if you’re really chesty up top, and slender on the bottom. I am the reverse.

The shoulders are a wee bit tight because of stretch materials. Other than that, this is the perfect summer dress. Very feminine, but respectful.

Low cut V, and ruffle on the waist.
This is very low-cut, and I work a white shell underneath. The low ruffle on the waist will make your tummy look a little bigger than what it really is.
