Pretty bad it's a brand new item that smells! And that hanging it for a week didn't even get rid of it. Bummer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495130 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 09:08:56 +0000 goldenpig 495130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>PU! I am very sensitive to smells. I've had a couple of Anthro coats (red raincoat and the purple tweed coat) that I called to have shipped to me from other stores (I was trying XS to see if it fit better than the S) and they smelled a bit funny--like heavily perfumed laundry soap. I was so glad they were the wrong size and I returned them. Good call on returning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495126 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 07:45:15 +0000 rae 495126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What the what?! I missed this before. Does no one test these garments before mass producing them for sale? You'd think someone would notice this along the way.... a shame, because the dress did look nice on you. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495124 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 07:34:34 +0000 lyn* 495124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That stinks a lot! That happened with a wool pair of pants that I had bought; and I totally took them back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495068 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 03:25:15 +0000 cciele 495068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boo indeed! That dress was really cute too :/ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495067 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 03:24:35 +0000 soobee 495067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That truly is bizarre. I can't imagine buying anything brand new and having it stink. Maybe it was something in the manufacturing process? Anyway, sorry you had to return it and good luck with finding its sweet smelling counterpart! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495065 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 03:20:59 +0000 Mo 495065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bummer! But worse would be wrinkling your nose every time to tried to don it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495045 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:45:36 +0000 MNsara 495045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eewww! I missed the original stank talk, but I would always be suspicious of anything new and stanky (unless it was leather - leather often starts pungent)! </p> <p>You gave it more than a fair chance -- good choice to return it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/follow-up-on-the-stanky-dress#post-495036 Tue, 27 Dec 2011 02:34:27 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 495036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So if anyone recalls, I had that sweater dress from Modcloth which I posted about here: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-new-dresses-one-via-ylf" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ne-via-ylf</a></p> <p>I hung it up to air out for about a week and a half.</p> <p>It still stinks. Went back today. BOO! I find that so odd. What a disappointment. I would never have thought that I'd have to put "smelly" as a reason to return new clothes. </p>
