The verdict
Fit
Linen relaxes and moves; maxi cut means proportions shift with each wash and wear. True to size unless seeking roominess.
Quality
Linen durability improves with age, but expect visible wrinkles and movement. Faherty's linen selection avoids overly slubby textures.
Is the price fair?
Mid-tier justified by linen quality and maxi construction. Price reflects fiber and silhouette, not brand premium.
Best for
Warm-weather wearers who embrace linen's lived-in appearance and want a long, easy silhouette.
Care
Linen wrinkles; iron on medium heat or accept the relaxed look as intentional.
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.
- Strengths
- Soft, breezy natural-fiber fabrics with relaxed cuts that reviewers find genuinely comfortable and easy to care for.
- Watch out for
- Fit skews loose and varies by style — most dresses run large or boxy enough that owners size down or tailor, while a few cut slim in the chest.
- Sizing
- Expect roomy cuts and size down on most styles if between sizes, but check per-style guidance since some run slim in the chest.
