The verdict
Fit
Crochet fabric is open and airy; these pieces typically run loosely and drape generously. The mini length suggests a relaxed, flowing silhouette. Expect true-to-size or slightly roomy fit.
Quality
Handcrafted cotton crochet is labor-intensive, which justifies the price. The stitch work should be even and the cotton should feel soft from India's mills. Durability depends entirely on careful washing; regular wear will eventually snag the stitches.
Is the price fair?
188 dollars for a crochet mini is full retail for the handwork involved. The value proposition hinges on valuing the craft itself and being willing to treat it as a delicate piece, not a workhorse.
Best for
Shoppers with a taste for artisanal textiles, who will wear this sparingly for special occasions and commit to hand-washing and air-drying.
Care
Hand wash in cold water only, with delicate soap. Air dry flat—never machine dry or wring. Store unworn in a breathable bag with cedar. Crochet snagging is irreparable.
Fit check: Faherty
True to sizeFaherty fits true to size with a deliberately relaxed cut — take your usual size, and only size down on the roomiest dresses and boxy tees if you're between sizes.
Owners and hands-on reviewers consistently report Faherty running true to size, with the slight ease built into the cut rather than a sign to size down. The relaxed silhouette shows up across lines — tees are described as boxy-but-not-oversized, pants run about a half-inch generous in the waist (not enough to change size), and some dresses and boxier tops read roomy enough that between-sizes buyers go down. A minority of owners find pieces large and boxy at their usual size — one Reddit user had a medium tailored — and a few customer reviews flag garment-to-garment inconsistency, but that's the exception in the feedback, not the pattern.
Sizing advice: Order your usual size across the line; if you're between sizes, size down only on roomy dresses and boxy tees — everywhere else stay true, since the relaxed drape is intentional.

What owners report about Faherty dresses
Faherty's cotton-gauze and linen dresses draw strong comfort reviews — testers describe soft, breezy fabric and roomy-but-not-shapeless cuts, and one reviewer called the brand's linen midi shirt dress among the best-fitting she had tried. The recurring theme is generous sizing: multiple styles are reported to run large or boxy, with owners sizing down or having pieces tailored, though at least one style is noted to run slim in the chest instead.
