Farm Rio...Yes or Not worth it?

[moose62]

When people ask for dress ideas, I often see Farm Rio suggested on MN.
I am now being 'stalked' by a Farm Rio dress that I really like.
Has anyone bought one of their dresses and if so what is the quality like? Are they actually worth the hype and money? How is their sizing?

I find they are big sized, I am an 8 and an XS
The quality is good imo, nice fabrics, wash and wear well. I have some 5/6 years old worn every summer. They also sell well on Vinted which I take into account so if you buy a dress for £180 you will probs be able to get at least £70 in well looked after condition :)

I saw one in a sale at a really good price but the washing reccomendations of drip dry only put me off.

@Britpopbaby I just wash everything in the machine and put on line and the dresses have fared well so far!

The quality is excellent, but they are not for short people! Cut long in the body and length (in their wonderful prints, so I cannot shorten them).

I have a dress from them that I really like mainly as the print is so unusual. Another dress I had to sell as the cut was very awkward and unflattering on and couldn't make it work!

I have some Farm Rio dresses, skirts, blouses and beachwear. The sizing is slightly generous I would say. I am a 12 and wear a medium. The quality is great. Dresses are lined. Linen is soft. Really love my Farm Rio clothes as the prints are unusual and fabrics feel luxurious.

Ha, I was also stalked by one of their dresses. I eventually bought it in the sale (they are so expensive otherwise). It has actually been my go-to summer dress so I would say buck for wear it has really earned its keep over the years.

Sizing a little generous. I bought my usual size and I would say I get away with it because it's not a fitted dress so nice for the summer to have a bit of room (or when you've eaten too much pavlova).

The only downside is...no pockets! Really irritating. I like it so much (and have had lots of compliments) that I always look out for FR sales, but to date I haven't spotted anything I'm taken with - either too short or too strappy. They seem to have embraced the mini this season.
