Perfect summer dress!
Linen, swingy skirt, vivid print - what more can you want - other than pockets, of course? It’s a very happy dress that can be worn without a bra. Candy cane straps! ♥️

Fit was a little large in the neckline with a gap. Could have been addressed by wearing a bra, but I didn’t feel like it. It’s a beautiful June Sunday in Prospect Park and I’m here for it. Deep pockets that manage to not stick out like bunny ears. Subtle bubble. Truly love it.

Gorgeous shade of green with well placed cutouts. Wore sans bra because I just don’t care anymore. Felt reasonably well supported. Wrinkles but, of course, it does. It’s linen. Next stop: Coney Island!

Snug in the bodice, yet “straps” repeatedly fell of shoulders
Very sweet dress which attracted many compliments. Wore with a strapless bra, but could probably skip foundation garments. Lovely full skirt and pockets. Needed a little more breathing room for true comfort.

Run large - and they stretch out. Size down.
I loved these in concept but execution was lacking. The lack of a waistband makes them kind of shapeless, imo. The woven fabric definitely stretches out with wear. Maybe I’ll try them in a smaller size…

I’ve worn this 3x so far and each time it’s been a different vibe. No snaps for bra straps so I went with a strapless version. Some bras will show at square neckline, check your options. The bubble skirt is subtle, the pockets useful. Size down if between sizes.

Soft pink cotton maxi dress is perfect for summer. Full skirt with sewn in underslip for modesty. Skipped a bra. Nothing inherently special about the dress but still a good option for a hot day or casual event.

Boldly beautiful
Nice weight cotton in an eye catching print. Wide straps with snaps for bra straps, if you choose to wear one. I went sans and felt supported. In a dream this dress would be a few inches shorter, if only to show off my Fluevogs that match perfectly! Pockets.

Falling hard for these…
Incredibly comfortable thanks to the nicely subtle elastic in the rear of the waist. I think a 4P would have been the perfect size for me. The 4R was almost floor length, but fine even with Stan Smith’s. In all honesty, I would have preferred these to be lined and will wear them next time with opaque tights underneath to switch things up.

Kidding. I want to be cremated! Anyway…super fun, poplin skirt with more volume than Farrah Fawcett’s hair. Fabulous. It’s like wearing a padded skirt made from cotton and marshmallows. ♥️. Great fit on my 125 ish, 5’4” ish frame. Pockets.

Perfect for late spring
Weighty white denim with brown contrasting stitching. Has some stretch but not much. Fit well enough that I skipped a bra. Pockets. Really versatile - dress up with espadrilles or wedges, of pair with Birks or sneakers. Would be too heavy for very hot weather. Great dress.

Not my favorite Farm Rio
Yes, the print is beautiful and there are nice details like the trimmings on this cotton blouse, but I just didn’t like the fit. It’s beyond boxy and the potentially flattering square neckline just didn’t land right on my body. Felt very blousy in a matronly manner. Or maternity. No desire to hold this piece any longer.

Out of my comfort zone, but uber comfortable
Generously constructed, lightweight and pretty cool looking pants. Sort of harem-esque, textured and super cute in a hippy way. A form fitting top keeps the proportions in check.

Shirt dresses really seem to be having a moment and I’m here for it. This menswear inspired dress was roomy and a bit unique with its zipper front. Wore with blue brogues and an adorable sparkly tie necklace that you unfortunately can’t see. Pockets for the win.

Fab frock
The straps were a little long which meant they tended to slide off more shoulders, yet the bodice was snug making a size change not an options. Loved the skirt in particular - it just felt uber feminine and fun. Pockets would have made this a five star dress.

A 6 might have been a better fit, but I made the 4 work
Lovely stripe pattern that could be paired with white, green, yellow or blue with ease. A little long on me and snug through the midsection. Pockets. Lined. Cotton and prone to wrinkling but not terribly. This pic was taken on vacation after having been packed in my carryon luggage without the benefit of an iron.

Happy I sized up from my usual 4 to a 6
I might have been able to squeeze into a 4, but found these size 6 eyelet jeans to be extremely comfortable and a great length. I tend to be wide through the waist and these were perfect for my body type. Hips and thighs were roomy for me. Will add a bit of bulk to my carry on exclusively luggage, but will nonetheless pack these for 2 weeks in Ireland. Bringing a navy merino wool sweater and my navy suede Adidas sneakers to mix things up a tad. Not for hot weather, I’d say.

A slow burn kind of love for this shirtwaist dress
I was tepid on this when I wore it with Stan Smith’s and a dark blue cardigan, but, on second wear, I fell in love! Wore tonight with black capri length footless tights and black Doc Marten Mary Janes. Loved the fit and now find myself seriously considering packing this sweet dress for my upcoming family visit to Ireland. Flatttering, comfortable and versatile.

Cute riff on a men’s wear shirt. If I was wearing without leggings, I think I’d have to consider bike shorts underneath for decency. Tie in back to adjust fit. Cute enough. Would be good for a warm vaca spot.

Beautiful - tts
I ordered a size up (AU 10) but would have been fine with my usual size. Length was long, but fine with heels. I layered it over a long sleeve t because winter will not quit. Pockets. Fun ric rac trim on (non adjustable) straps. Will order a size down next time.

Fabulous frock!
There’s a definite vintage vibe to the cut and fabric of this dress. It would have been a perfect 5 if it had pockets! A little snug in ribcage but that’s common for me. No bra necessary, exposes cleavage prettily. Despite 3 layers of fabric (slip, tulle, burned velvet (?), there remained a surprising sheerness. I wore with footless tights and a cardigan on top because, although this sweet dress screams “spring!,” we’re still living in winter conditions in the northeast.

Sweet, poplin dress with a full skirt and pockets. Fit was generally good, but a little snug around my ribcage. I tend to be wide there, though. Fit everywhere else was great. Beautiful detail on sleeves. Perfect for Easter or other spring events.

Check, Mate, LOVE.
This dress, as a number of complimenters noted, is the perfect early spring dress. The fabric is very lightweight, and even a tad sheer, but I wore a vintage, eyelet trimmed chemise underneath it, left a few buttons (top and bottom) undone and leaned in. This dress feels great on and we all love pockets, right? Wore with classic Chuck Taylors and plan to wear with a short sleeved brown merino sweater for an added layer on cooler days. Will also look adorbs with brown booties and my whisper of pink moto jacket. Love. 💕 I might keep this a couple of cycles.

Warm sweater with a peekaboo surprise
Heavyweight and a bit shapeless in the torso, but still a solid piece. I wore over a literal slip with Frye engineer boots with a chunky necklace and liked the season transitioning look. Sleeves are almost mutton with a generous amount of fabric that tapers at the cuff. Would consider buying.

Best thing about this skirt is the lovely sound it makes when you move
All the things are true: it’s heavy and the weight pulls the waistband and lining awkwardly, the color is beautiful but I found it challenging to pair with my collection of tops. Attention getting in a good way. Ran big all around. Size down if between sizes. Shine on. ✌🏻

Mixed on this one…
The length wasn’t a problem as much as the bunching up of the fabric. It was almost as if the lining and exterior of the garment were in a fight and couldn’t agree to just lie flat. That aside, cute with tights and booties and reasonably warm. TTS.

Giving Wuthering Heights vibes
VERY heavyweight fabric so not for hot weather. Gorgeous neckline made to show off one’s décolletage and perhaps a bold necklace. Multiple string ties in the back to close - you may need help with those, and pockets. Was able to wear sans bra. I loved wearing this dress and am actively seeking events to add to my calendar so I can wear it again.

Super cute
The volume of the skirt is darling and the length is spicy. Straps were a teeny bit long, but the dress still worked. Exceptionally well made with quality finishing details. Back is sexy low, without overexposure. Skipped a bra and felt comfortably contained. Great shade of red.

I forgot how great my legs are!
Ok, this is a romper, not a dress. I wore with a button down underneath because in upstate New York, sleeveless in February isn’t an option. The fit definitely doesn’t reveal curves and it requires a 3 minute lead time for bathroom breaks, but I felt pretty fab wearing this romper. Maje needs to step up their game in terms of notions like the plastic gold buttons feel cheap, in my opinion.

Definitely a change from the usual jeans
The first time I wore these, I was tepid on the fit. They felt a little tight in the waist and the length falls into a weird place between stylish and awkward. When I wore them a second time, I was much more enthusiastic and the fit in the waist felt comfortable. These are heavier weight and great for winter. Wear with booties to close the gap between hem and ankles on cold days, would be cute with a pair of Adidas or Keds in warmer climates.

Runs a little large but wildly comfortable
Wore for my retirement (!) party and felt like a million bucks. Pulls on overhead which means hair styling comes after getting dressed. Sequins snag long hair, so an updo is probably your best bet. I think an x-small might have fit me better in length, but I was perfectly happy in the small. It’s a sexy, classy dress that earns compliments effortlessly.

Best for those with height or curves
I loved the fabric and warmth of this dress but it did nothing for my athletic shape. Sleeves were a bit long which would make for problematic dining and there’s a weird horizontal line through the dress that, on my body, was too low for an empire waist and too high for my natural waist. You might do better with it than I did. One wearing and done for me.
