smaller to other M models
I tough I found a good style with Farm Rio, but this particular dress seems to miss the mark in both fit and coverage.
here are a few thoughts that might help with your sizing decision:
1. Chest & Leg Exposure: If the chest is too open and the slit reveals too much leg, sizing up likely won’t fix that—if anything, it could make the top looser and more revealing.
2. Sleeves Too Big When Sized Up: If the sleeves are already roomy and get disproportionately bigger in a larger size, then sizing up will likely throw off the whole silhouette on a non-tall, slim frame.
3. Your Measurements vs the Fit: You’re a size M in Farm Rio typically and a regular size L/10, so this particular dress may just be cut for a very specific body type (tall, busty, slim-hipped), which doesn’t match most wearers’ proportions—even at the right size.
Recommendation: If you’re already feeling unsure and have had success with other Farm Rio styles, this specific dress might just not be the right cut for your shape. It may not be about size, but about the design itself. Unless you’re able to try it in-store or order with a free return option, I’d suggest skipping this one and sticking with the styles you already know flatter you.
