I have returned so many items m, ordered in XS through M, to Everlane to the point that that the money spent on returns could have been used to purchase a luxe tee or two. Scratchy fabrics, boxy cuts, tight arms/shoulders in fitted garments--I gave up on them awhile ago. Short-waisted, slim IT women would probably have the most success. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731961 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 16:31:05 +0000 Traci 1731961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm banking on it running short. &nbsp;I am picturing it with higher waisted pants and skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731958 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 16:29:08 +0000 Anonymous 1731958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are not easy! &nbsp;That silk is gorgeous. &nbsp;I think it will drape much better than the others you tried. &nbsp;I too would buy it but I think it would be too short on me. &nbsp;Perhaps when you get it, you can measure the length in front? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731953 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 16:23:06 +0000 Traci 1731953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so easy. &nbsp;I just needed the mildest of encouragement and now I've bought the silk shirt. &nbsp;I tried the oxford box shirt in two sizes and the stiff fabric made it a disaster on me. &nbsp;I'm really hopeful that the silky drape will make it perfection. &nbsp;Since I also want the turtleneck I figure I don't have to wait on my return to process to buy both. &nbsp;I'll report back when it arrives. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731932 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:47:02 +0000 Anonymous 1731932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That square silk shirt is beyond gorgeous. &nbsp;I've looked at it longingly many times. &nbsp;</p> <p>WRT bloggers, it seems a lot of those bloggers are gifted with Everlane products in exchange for the review. &nbsp;If you think about it, it is great advertising. &nbsp;And I don't mind if the reviewer presents a balanced review. &nbsp;</p> <p>No one is an Amazon Prime. &nbsp;I have been spoiled. &nbsp;I am actually finding that if Amazon carries a product (e.g., shoes or jeans) I'll order from them rather than deal with a longer shipping period of time. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731925 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:39:40 +0000 Traci 1731925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm anxiously awaiting my warning email where they tell me I've returned too many items. &nbsp;It seems they've moved to numerical sizing on their woven pieces. &nbsp;12 seems to be the top size, but on the items cut oversized they could easily accomodate some 14's. &nbsp;I've also noticed they must be doing something to get bloggers to review their items because there's quite a bit out there.</p> <p>Right now I'm getting free shipping and free returns as long as I'm willing to take store credit. &nbsp;They have so many items that intrigue me that I don't mind taking the credit for now, although it is annoying because I have to wait for my return to get to them and process before I can order my exchange, and they're no Amazon Prime when it comes to quick shipping.</p> <p>Currently coveting the boxy merino turtleneck in black and square silk shirt in navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731913 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 15:26:44 +0000 Anonymous 1731913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi <b>Isabel</b>. &nbsp;I searched high and low for white tee shirts that were not too sheer to wear to work. &nbsp;I didn't find one single one in 2016. &nbsp;When I find them again I intend to stock up. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1731891 Sun, 25 Sep 2016 14:37:21 +0000 Isabel 1731891@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outside of YLF, wardrobe oxygen is a favorite.

I'm a size 10 on top, 12 on bottom and was wondering if I could wear anything! I'm going to try a few sweaters, but I'll stay away from the cami's and t-shirts. <br />You'd think with their amazing photography and stats on their models that they could include a few shots of people that should legitimately wear their size M and L. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1687042 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 13:30:40 +0000 Jaime 1687042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with you greyscale-Everlane's clothes really do seem targeted to a young, urban woman. Truly, so much of it only really flatters that very thin model-like woman. Most average women would look like they are wearing a sack in many of their designs.&nbsp; Its a very minimal look that just plays better on a very thin body. I have wondered if they realize this so don't address the larger sized market. </p> <p>That being said I do like Everlane, however not as much as I used to. Maybe the bloom is off the rose? I have had great luck with sweatshirts and a few sweaters.&nbsp; Not a fan of their tees at all-they do not wash well. I also don't like&nbsp;to have to pay shipping and return fees. I am close to pulling the trigger on the tunic Viva showed-I&nbsp;love the black and white striped version. However&nbsp;I am worried it will be way too long and&nbsp;it will have to go back :-(&nbsp;</p> <p>Lastly, I have had great luck with their CS. They sent me a wrong item once and ended up giving me a credit of $20 for the hassle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686879 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 02:59:30 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1686879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Greyscale, I agree, and the neutral, loose, unadorned normcore-meets-Madewell look is not going to be trendy forever. Already there's a shift toward more colors, and pieces that have more things going on visually.&nbsp; I'm not sure how Everlane is going to respond to those shifts in fashion effectively given their focus and business model, unless their plan is to age along with their core demographic and stick with a limited menu of basics, kind of like how Polo or Lands' End did in the 90s with the preppy baby boomers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686832 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 01:34:33 +0000 Greyscale 1686832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's disheartening to hear about the threat of a return fee for folks who return a large proportion of what they buy. I have a <i>lot</i> of Everlane clothes, but it can be hard to know what size I am. I got lucky because I live just down the street from them and every once in a while they have open houses where I can try things on, but without that, I'd be more nervous about buying.</p> <p>I think their core vision is strong and clear -- and I also think it'll really limit their expansion to a wider market. Some of the basics are great, but some are a little too specific to young, model-shaped urban women.&nbsp;I think their unwillingness to make XL, or larger, sizes is boneheaded.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686814 Wed, 29 Jun 2016 00:59:03 +0000 Anonymous 1686814@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That you're smarter than me? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686778 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 23:48:59 +0000 catgirl 1686778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wonder what the choice says about our personality - I would always choose the cheapest unless it was for charity! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686766 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 23:16:30 +0000 Anonymous 1686766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I might have some information on the "choose what you pay." &nbsp;When Everylane overproduces some articles of clothing, they offer three different price options for the excess that didn't sell as quickly as they hoped it would. &nbsp;They say that the average person selects the middle option (not the most expensive, not the cheapest). &nbsp;This could be true because I am always drawn to the middle price as well. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686760 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 22:58:48 +0000 viva 1686760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una, Ive always wondered about that too.

For a slightly different perspective, here's my (much more limited) experience with Everlane tees as a smaller-sized person.</p> <p>Although (as per Alison's review) their large sizes run small, I have found that their small sizes run quite large! I am an athletic size 2 with broader shoulders, and their XS tees are roomy (so roomy that some tees now come in an XXS, which might be better for me, and seriously, I'm not tiny). I can tell their fit model is tall--usually the model is 5'9" and wearing a size small!&nbsp;</p> <p>Everlane white and grey tees (cotton vee, scoop, and tanks) are among my staples. The white tees are a bit sheer, but (for casual wear) this can be either countered by wearing a 'nude' bra or played up by wearing a cute athletic bra. A tank doubles as a sleep tee, it is that soft. Are they better than cheap Gap tees? Not sure, but there is the 'ethical production' aspect (which I support), and I do like the ones I have a lot...</p> <p>I agree with Laura that their size charts could be improved. Even allowing user reviews would be a real service, both to the company and to us, the consumers. I find it so helpful when there are reviews that state the height/weight/size and best fit. Everlane? Are you listening? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686644 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 19:23:42 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1686644@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Allie's conclusions, because I'm also a 14 and I won't buy from them anymore. I tried a new customer variety box a couple of years ago and returned everything but a couple of v-neck tees in size XL. Last time I looked on their site they don't even offer items in XL anymore, so I'm unconvinced that they want to serve larger sizes at all. My charitable assessment would be that larger customers have returned a lot because they find the very thin, translucent knits unflattering on them so Everlane has given up serving that market niche. </p> <p>I do think their size charts, communication, and shipping/return options could be much improved. I think I read on the reddit fashion sub that some customers have gotten emails recently saying that if they go over a certain percentage of items returned, they will be charged a return fee in addition to the return shipping cost. They're a small company and presumably trying their best but I think they've made a lot of boneheaded moves, given the amount of customer goodwill they started with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686624 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 18:38:29 +0000 texstyle 1686624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to order a L in their tees for my preferred loose fit (I'm usually a size 8 or 10). I don't love all of their stuff but I do own several $15 tees that get a lot of wear. Overall I've been satisfied with their customer service and I did find a size chart when I shopped there - not sure if they've removed that or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686593 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:43:55 +0000 Anonymous 1686593@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I guess my point in posting was my personal preference to avoid ordering items I might have to pay to return. &nbsp;Ordering two different sizes from Everlane is out of the question right now. &nbsp;That is budget constraint that I have. &nbsp;A lot of other people probably don't have this same constraint. &nbsp;</p> <p>Also, I found the article interesting because it spoke to the quality of the linen. &nbsp;In the last year and a half I have developed some strange skin allergy to some fabrications. &nbsp;If it bothered her, it would drive me crazy. &nbsp;</p> <p>So I will cross Everlane off my retail list. &nbsp;But that doesn't mean it can't be successful for others. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686591 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:34:06 +0000 Suz 1686591@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Doesn't some of this also depend on body type and fit preferences? I mean, not all size 14s carry their weight where the reviewer does. And some people prefer a looser (or snugger) fit. So it really pays to read measurements, call, consider... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686583 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 17:23:48 +0000 Jenn 1686583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I appreciate her honesty. I have read a lot of recommendations for Everlane and a lot of reviews saying that the sizing is generous and larger sizes shouldn't be dissuaded from ordering, so it was good for me to see how various pieces <i>actually</i> fit on a size 14. </p> <p>Everlane's limited size range is often brushed off in reviews as not an issue, but it is an issue, and I'd rather someone come right out and say, "Size 14s: this is not for you" than pretending otherwise.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686566 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 16:56:59 +0000 Diana 1686566@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting review.&nbsp; I do agree that the size range is limited, however I find the pieces I've tried to be generally true to their size chart and <b>to the fit as they envision it.</b> (Last part bolded because they have a lot of items that are meant to fit oversized, and others that are more fitted, so of course the oversized items have positive ease built in.) They do have actual garment measurements listed on the site (click the "size chart" link on an item page to get them), which I really appreciate, and if you email them they will provide additional measurements.&nbsp; </p> <p>She is right that the items would not fit a size 14.&nbsp; I'm a 8-10 on top and in most things there I would be a large.&nbsp; (But again I stress that their size chart says right there that L is 8-10.)&nbsp; </p> <p>I don't actually own anything from them right now, but have tried a number of things.&nbsp; I liked the silk tank (not the camisole she reviewed, but the a-line one with flared hem) but it didn't come in colors I liked.&nbsp; I might get one at some point though.&nbsp; The silk blouses I tried were too long and straight, as are almost all button-downs on me.&nbsp; Tees were fine but again I didn't need any of the colors they had.&nbsp; I'd definitely consider them for my basic black tee needs (and I like that they are 100% cotton as I prefer that).&nbsp; The wool blend slim pants I tried fit OK but were itchy (again a common issue for me with unlined wool trousers, so I'd say it's more me and my special snowflake skin than the fabric).&nbsp; </p> <p>I haven't tried any of their sweaters because I generally do not buy sweaters (I have enough hand made ones).&nbsp; I do appreciate the review of the linen tees.&nbsp; </p> <p>Anyway, i find this review kind of disingenuous, personally, because although I do agree that it's annoying that Everlane don't have a larger size range, I'm also not surprised that a size 14 woman can't fit into a garment that is supposed to be size 8-10.&nbsp; So I don't quite think it's a fair review of fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/everlane-reviewfrom-wardrobe-oxygen#post-1686542 Tue, 28 Jun 2016 16:20:36 +0000 Anonymous 1686542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found this helpful. I have wanted to try Everlane, but am at the end of their sizing. It's quite irksome they haven't broadened their size range in all the years I've looked at them. Not worth risking as a broad shouldered sort. This brand is not made with my body type in mind - onward elsewhere. </p>
