Agree with Joe Fresh being somewhat inconsistent in sizing. <br /><br />Appreciate knowing that Club Monaco is more TTS or smaller than Joe Fresh items - that helps a lot, so thank you for chiming in <br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-918162 Fri, 26 Apr 2013 01:09:05 +0000 merwoman 918162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gaylene you've summarized exactly how I feel - terribly conflicted!<br /><br />VC - I find Club Monaco runs a little small, and Joe Fresh can run a tad large.&nbsp; Joe Fresh can also be inconsistent in sizing; I can vary from 0-6 in a pant. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-918086 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 23:18:02 +0000 velvetychocolate 918086@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Well, I lucked out and ordered these items when they had a 30% off everything sale - figured I might as well just try it. Everything fit and worked out nicely, so I'll likely order again. Just that right now, a lot of the items I might want to order are sold out. Hope they get more stuff in soon!<br /><br />The regular Joe Fresh site doesn't seem to have online ordering, and NY is a plane ride away for me, so that won't work <br /><br />Actually - I have a question...for those of you who are more familiar with Joe Fresh and/or Club Monaco - would you say that they are similar in terms of sizing? I've often wanted to order from Club Monaco too. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-918069 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 22:54:00 +0000 Jjsloane 918069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ The items you've shown are great.&nbsp;Diana got a really nice&nbsp;silk blouse there in NYC (reminded me of the Uniqlo ones). I've been eyeing things in the JCP too. They are a nice and breezy alternative and I would equate with H&amp;M and Old Navy on a quality mark, but very colorful and trendy. I like that they carry a few silhouettes in multiple solids and patterns. Kind of garanimals for adults. I finally picked up my dress from JCP (they never told me it was there) and I love it so I'm trying to remove my prior conceptions of the store.&nbsp;<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-918022 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:58:27 +0000 lyn* 918022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I like their jammies https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-918020 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:57:29 +0000 catgirl 918020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I saw that black and white silk shirt and almost sprung for it - very Equipment-like but much cheaper. &nbsp;Still not cheap for JCP though, at least here. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-918016 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 21:55:04 +0000 pil 918016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just today bought the tee in #4 and another JF plain navy tee.</p> <p>I was also tempted by a navy slub linen tee in the JCP line. I would have picked it up but it is thin and for me requires a cami. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917721 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:50:53 +0000 rachylou 917721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am wearing my first ever Joe Fresh blouse from JCP today, for the first time. I really like it. It's quite well made!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917632 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 18:01:23 +0000 Gaylene 917632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Merwoman, I was also following the news about that horrible incident in Bangladesh where the factory building collapsed and over 200 workers were killed, with hundreds more injured. Apparently some Joe Fresh items were supplied by that manufacturer. <br /><br />The whole situation involving cheap clothing makes me so conflicted because there are no easy answers. According to some research I've done, Bangladesh has about 4,000 garment factories that export more than $18 billion worth of products a year, mainly to the United States and Europe. Customers include Wal-Mart, Tesco, H&amp;M, Zara, Carrefour, Mango, Gap, Metro, JCPenney, Marks &amp; Spencer, Kohl’s, Levi Strauss, Tommy Hilfiger, Children's Den, along with too many more to list. I think it would also be fair to say that, despite modest increases in wages and some half-hearted attempts at regulation, the standards in most of these factories is pretty abysmal. Most outside agencies also condemn the rampant corruption and bribery in the construction industry which leads to substandard building practices.<br /><br />But, colleagues who I respect, have also pointed out that working in these factories is often the best (and sometimes only) alternative many families have to provide them with the necessities of life and a chance to get ahead. And the increased spotlight that some of the factories undergo because of pressure from US and European companies has led to marginal improvements and a bit more government interest and regulation. Knowing all this, however, doesn't make it any easier to view the devastating pictures while wearing my $8 T-shirt.<br /><br />It's a complicated issue that doesn't come with easy answers. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917598 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 17:14:45 +0000 Glory 917598@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another fan of Joe Fresh here. My 2 teens also like some of their stuff. The dress I posted last week for consideration is from Joe Fresh concept store. I have had quality issues with two items but everything else has been fine. My white jeans. Added bonus - you can bury the cost in the grocery bill and DHs are none the wiser https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917548 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:59:15 +0000 Diana 917548@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hee, Ariadne, I actually really enjoy grocery stores.&nbsp; I know, I'm weird like that.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917547 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:57:47 +0000 merwoman 917547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ hmmm not so sure regarding &nbsp;the factory situation. Was listening to the news on the way in to work and heard about the horrible collapse of a factory building&nbsp;in Bangladesh with many casualties.&nbsp;According to the news source, clothing out of this factory &nbsp;is destined for Joe fresh and Children's Den. &nbsp;Apparently there were complaints about the condition of the building, but workers were told by management to continue working or they would not receive their pay. &nbsp; I will be following this. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917537 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:47:56 +0000 Thistle 917537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hmmm, I think I might need to check out JCP!! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917531 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:44:47 +0000 velvetychocolate 917531@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ T-Rex, I didn't notice any Joe Fresh nailpolish, but I was shopping online at JCP dot com. <br /><br />And christieanne - I hope JCP can get sorted out, as I realize things have been topsy-turvy for the past year and a half. I was/am liking the new direction, and it's too bad that there have been so many growing pains. <br /><br />And yes, I did notice that a lot of the Joe Fresh stuff sold out very quickly. I made a few comments on this during a survey I filled out after I placed my order. <br /><br />As for clothes shopping at the grocery store - it was *fun*. The only trouble is that it didn't used to take me an hour to pick up a dozen eggs. :)<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917504 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 15:21:30 +0000 christieanne 917504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am excited to see your post and order! In stores, we are loving Joe Fresh and getting positive comments from shoppers. Shop has been since March 15 and many of the original pieces sold out pretty quickly. <br />No nail polish at jcp though from joe fresh <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917420 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:49:03 +0000 T-Rex 917420@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Did you happen to see if they carry Joe Fresh nail polish? I saw a few online a couple of seasons ago that I really loved. Nail polish is my kryptonite.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917393 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:24:28 +0000 Deborah 917393@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One of our major supermarkets now has a range of clothing and looking at the Joe Fresh website I am thinking they may have been inspired by JF. Similar type items and price point, and reasonable quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917379 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:15:09 +0000 Transcona Shannon 917379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've always been impressed by Joe Fresh - affordable, well made, easy wearing, and stylish.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917372 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 13:12:50 +0000 rosee 917372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ ...another Joe Fresh fan. &nbsp;Reasonably good quality for a lower price point. &nbsp;Have some stuff that lasted for years.<br /><br />As stated by Ariadne, started by Joe Mimran who also founded Club Monaco (before they sold it to Ralph Lauren) and who is married to Kimberley Mimran of Pink Tartan.<br />I have still to confirm this by independent sources, but I have heard that Joe Fresh is socially conscious about not using sweatshop labor to make their clothes, and factories are inspected regularly. &nbsp;I really want to believe this but I am one to always try and verify facts. &nbsp;Anyone else know about this from their research? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917284 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 09:51:31 +0000 merwoman 917284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Another Joe Fresh fan here.

My favorite Joe Fresh stuff is the lounge/night wear and workout gear. The colours, styles, and patterns are always so seasonal--cosy red-plaid flannel in the winter; breton-striped sleep shirts in the spring; tank/short sets in feather-weight cotton and pastel colours for the summer; and, last but not least, classic navy tipped with white PJs to see in the fall. So hard to resist.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917211 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 04:20:21 +0000 Ariadne 917211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Joe Fresh is Canadian and it's sold at one of our big grocery store chains (Superstore, also known as Stuporstore because it's so huge and confusingly organized). &nbsp;I love it. &nbsp;I was telling my MIL about it yesterday and explained that I suspect&nbsp;half the moms in Canada are basically&nbsp;outfitted by Joe Fresh because we can buy stylish clothes at the same time as diapers and food and cosmetics and sports equipment and kid stuff and all the other necessities of life&nbsp;from the one store. &nbsp;Heh. &nbsp;The only problem is my shopping trips triple in length if I let myself check out the clothes!<br /><br />Anyway, a&nbsp;BIG chunk of my wardrobe is Joe Fresh. &nbsp;One of my favourite items from them them&nbsp;right now is an extra-long, roomy, blush silk button-front blouse a la Equipment but minus the pockets. &nbsp;Fun fact: the guy who founded Club Monaco, Joe Mimram,&nbsp;also created Joe Fresh. &nbsp;<br /><br />I've had good luck with their quality, overall. &nbsp;Their denim stretches out a lot but that's my only complaint. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/joe-fresh-at-jcp---pretty-fab-fast-fashion#post-917200 Thu, 25 Apr 2013 03:31:09 +0000 velvetychocolate 917200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I recently ordered a few things online at JCP, after not shopping at JC Penney for quite awhile.
