Why Farm Rio is worth it
Farm Rio puts Brazil's color and wildlife on everything it makes, from tropical-print maxi dresses to cutwork embroidery and crochet.
Every print is drawn in-house, and there are hundreds of new ones a year: toucans, bananas, parrots, seashells and garden florals, often in clashing color. The cuts stay easy (smocked and tiered maxis, puff-sleeve blouses, swishy skirts), and the craft details are what lift them, from richelieu cutwork and crochet to beaded fringe and three-dimensional flowers. Most of it is cotton, viscose or linen, so it wears light in the heat.

About Farm Rio
Kátia Barros and Marcelo Bastos founded Farm Rio in Rio de Janeiro in 1997, selling their first designs from a small stand at an independent fashion market.
The label grew into one of Brazil's best-known fashion names by turning carioca life, its beaches, plants and sunshine, into prints, and in 2019 it began taking that look abroad to cities such as New York and Paris.

What shoppers say
From reviews and try-on videos, in our words.
- Fit
Between sizes, the brand says to take the size that covers all your measurements, which usually means the larger one. Reviews on some dresses, especially low-cut maxis, say they run a little big, so read the reviews for each style.
- Prints
Its team turns out more than 700 exclusive prints a year across thousands of styles, so prints turn over fast; if one catches your eye, it may not stay around long.
- Care
Many cotton, rayon and linen dresses can go in the machine on a gentle cycle and dry on the line. The knits often blend viscose with polyamide, so check each label.
- Where it's made
Despite the Rio roots, product pages name China for much of the line, with some dresses and blouses made in India and a few pieces in Turkey.
- Shipping and returns
US shipping is free over $150, and US returns and exchanges are free within 30 days. Final-sale pieces can't be returned, though US orders can swap them for another size.
