A little tight in the stomach/ribcage
Came with tags. It’s a little tight in the middle, but a bigger size would probably be too big everywhere else. Could wear with or without a strapless bra.

Cute, not the most flattering.
Cute summer dress. I need to see if I can wear a strapless bra with it - it might be more flattering - but I don’t need one.

Should have gone with my regular size
Based on the reviews, I went up a size, but I should’ve ordered a medium. I wore it, but it was big. It’s linen, so it wrinkles easily. The sleeves are sort of a funny fit and hit at a weird place. It wasn’t my favorite dress but was a good rental for the summer.

Terrible fit. Fashion fail.
This is way too fitted and tight if you have any sort of hips/butt. I am usually between a medium and large and I ordered the large based on reviews. It was still way too tight and wasn’t the least bit flattering. It’s a really cute concept but major fail.

Fits loose, lightweight
I’m not sure if I could size down from a length perspective, but it is definitely loose and fits boxy. It’s a cute set for summer. Not the most flattering.

Definitely boxy. Many compliments.
This jacket is so cute and I got a ton of compliments. I could have probably gone down a size, but sometimes I then lose length. Lose and a relatively good weight for summer.

Definitely cropped, needs high-waisted pants
I ended up really liking this top. You definitely need a high-waisted pant, as it is cropped. If you don’t love a big sleeve, this is not for you.

Beautifully made. Tall size up.
The construction on this is beautiful. On cropped jackets I typically size up because of my height and I am glad I did.

Glad I sized up
Usually, I am a medium in Farm Rio, but I am glad I sized up to the large. Since it is a cropped fit, I think the large is better. I have really been loving the quilted jacket trend. The buttons on this are really cute too.

Probably could have worn medium
I went with a large and as a result, it was a little big in places, but a medium would have resulted in a more fitted look which I’m not sure I really would have wanted with this dress given that it is a knit. It was still really cute and is a nice thick material - although I still wore spanx. Great for work.

Size up, beautiful and luxurious.
This is a beautiful skirt but was too small too wear, even pulled way up. Also tough for someone with a bootie, given the cut. There ja absolutely no stretch or give. The fabric is more textured than I expected, and really luxurious. I would try again in a bigger size.

This was warmer than I anticipated. I love that it is reversible. Would be good for a trip, because you could get multiple outfits out of it. Medium was the right call, sizing was perfect.

Fit perfectly but terrible unflattering pleats in front
The fit of the pants was great, but if you have hips, the pleat at the front of each leg, just makes you look unnecessarily wide. A flat front would be so much better. Sent back without wearing.

Front facing on neckline not sewn down
I usually size up in this brand, and am glad I did, this dress is very fitted. It definitely needs Spanx. I didn’t see the gathering on each side when I ordered it - definitely makes it more flattering. My biggest complaint about the dress is that the front on the inside of the dress (like a little inside bib) isn’t sewn down and kept popping up, making the neck line look uneven. Definitely not something I would expect of an $800 dress. Glad it’s a rental.

Too much fabric. Not flattering. Sending back.
I wanted to love this, but there’s just too much fabric in the bottom of the dress. It’s not flattering. The color also wasn’t great on my skin tone.

Normally an 8, 6 fit perfectly. For tall girls, or need heels.
The top fits absolutely perfectly. It’s a lot of fabric, and it’s a lot thicker than I expected. That being said it’s beautifully constructed and a really fun dress to take on a trip to Hawaii. A perfect rental. Would be tough if you are short.

If I had a bigger chest, would need a large
This fit absolutely perfectly, but if I had a bigger chest, it would’ve been too tight to zip. This color palette normally isn’t what I go to, but I liked it more than anticipated.

This is a departure from the typical winter sweater, which is nice. It has a balloon sleeve. So be ready for that. I wore it with a short-sleeved shirt and it wasn’t itchy.
