Love love
I’m obsessed with this set, the top is more cropped than I like but with the shorts it’s perfect. I disagree with others and think the fit is great, the embroidery is beautiful and the colors are vibrant. Alémais never misses.

Essential item
These Tropicala Raffia purses from Marni are (not to be dramatic) life changing. I now own 3. I personally find them super practical. This is a bit bigger than the brown and black one I already own which I also love. I can easy fit my wallet, phone, keys, lip balm, and sunglasses in here and I love the short handles and long strap. It surprisingly goes with A LOT. The compliments on these bags are literally endless from strangers and friends.

Great
Great dress, I’ve rented the same linen dress in another pattern from this designer last summer and loved that too. Easy throw on and go, lots of compliments. Perfect for summer in New England or the hot city, breathable and easy. It does wrinkle because it’s linen but you hardly notice with the darker blue and pattern.

These Alémais dresses never ever fail me. The fit is always perfect and the styles are always stunning and make such an impression. Received NWT. I wore this to dinner on a trip to Bermuda and felt perfectly attired.

Perfection
These linen Alémais dresses that have the elastic in the back of the chest never ever fail me. They support my larger chest with no bra (I just wear some pasties) and the styles are always stunning and make such an impression. I wore this on a fancy dinner on a trip and felt perfectly attired. The length was also great.

Not if you’re busty
Cute pattern as all things farm rio are. The straps on this are odd and don’t really provide any support even when you tighten the clasps and tie the dress in the back. Would be great for a smaller chested person!

Hard pass
Agree with the other reviewers. Rented this before there were any reviews and the flowy and fun linen dress I thought I was receiving was too tight in multiple places and looked frumpy. Very disappointing because I love all things Staud usually and have bought so many of their pieces here. Hard pass on this one.

I found this to be laughably small and didn’t think the material felt like quality, received NWT and sent it right back.

I’ve rented this twice, both times I’ve found it to be a high quality and unique piece. The fabric is thicker so be aware of that but it really is a good thing because it gives the dress the structure and flair that really makes it. Fits really well. Definitely recommend!

The tassels really make it
I own another dress from this brand and they both have a lot of personality, are high quality and feel like great and special finds. The tassels are high quality and really pull the style together! Would definitely recommend for a fun and airy dress for summer, can’t go wrong.

I sized down and I’m glad I did. I have a larger chest and still felt this was a better size for me and makes it more polished looking than some big mumu type deal. Fun and breezy linen piece for summer!

Flowy and fun
I’ve rented this for 2 summers in a row now, it’s the same dress and material I own in another dress from this brand, that one just has a very cute tropical motif on it. If you’re ok being sans bra or having your bra show in the back (which I am) or wearing as a cover up it’s wonderful. I love these linen and loose dresses for very hot weather in the city and for the breezy shore as well. This brand has such fun prints and great quality.

Great quality
Received NWT, planning to wear with my Polo skort tennis skirt, white shorts etc. I wasn’t sure if it was exciting enough for me at first but the quality and great fit really shines with this one so I’m keeping. The fabric is more thick but in a good and flattering way, still works for the summer.

Great quality
These are a little tight in the waist/booty but not uncomfortable and maybe more flattering than pants that are totally wide and not flattering on me. They are also very high quality feeling. As reviews mentioned they are a little long but if didn’t bother me, I just pulled them up a little more which mitigated it for me at almost 5’5” and I think it lends to the look a bit. Would recommend!

Not the best quality but very cute!
This is a basic dress in a pretty color, I’m keeping it for now! The neckline and style are very flattering. The elastic can sound like it’s stretching a bit when taking it off so I don’t know how long it will hold up but I received it NWT. FWIW I didn’t notice any marijuana leaves like a previous reviewer mentioned.

Polo doesn’t generally disappoint, especially when receiving it new with tags as I did. Fit great, good linen like material, not the most exciting shirt of course but would recommend! Good quality staple for your rotation.

Obsessed
I added a shipment just so I could rent this guy while it was still available in early access and I have no regrets! I debated sizing up to an XL but the L fits just right. It’s extremely soft and high quality. No notes, definitely rent if you can!

Bought it!
I got this baby home new with tags and became more obsessed with each wear. Couldn’t bear to part with it so took advantage of the 50% off sale and am keeping it forever! Definitely rent it if you get the chance. It’s definitely oversized but it’s a vibe.

One of a kind art piece
It’s a stunner, and made out of fine merino wool and silk. Feels and looks like a dream. Wore to more than one event. I sized up so it would be less clingy. 10/10.

Stunning!
Wore this for the last night of the DNC, wore a white slip underneath to be a bit more modest but I did wear it out without a slip too. It is a little sheer though so I recommend covers since you can’t really wear a bra. Super ruffle-y and fun, would recommend!

Perfection
Ended up buying this, many reviews said it ran small so I almost sized up but ended up staying true to size and it fit like a glove! Got many compliments, even from people who don’t ordinarily compliment my clothes. Super flattering silhouette, love the sleeves and the subtle cutouts in the back.

Chic stunner
LOVE this - it’s very true to size, body skimming, timelessly chic and flattering. It’s a perfect fall/winter dress that you could wear with sneakers or dress up. It’s also extremely soft and came new with tags. I’m 5’4” and the length was great on me.

I would typically be a L or even XL in some Sea dresses but I sized down to a M and I’m glad I did! This is a typical Sea New York stunner - beautiful embroidery, very chic and classic.

So fun!
Bought it! Love the unique print and the ability to customize how open the sleeves are. It has a super fun boho chic vibe that I didn’t want to be without! I sized down to a M, would recommend sizing down 1 or even 2 sizes but it has a flattering silhouette that manages to not make you look huge regardless.

Perfectly cut stunner
I sized up in this just because I knew it was a bit body con as is and I wanted something a little more relaxed. The fit is perfect - it’s a very simple dress but what makes it special is how well it’s cut, it’s extremely flattering. Highly recommend.
