I think it's not worth my time, energy and money right now to alter the dress. I don't love it enough. That's a good way to determine how much you love and item you're on the fence about, isn't it?</div><div><br /></div><div>Love the colors of the coat, and wish it were not giving the bed jacket vibe. Ah well. It does appear large on me, but I often have this problem with coats - they need to fit over my middle and hips but end up looking too large on top. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228302 Thu, 30 Sep 2021 00:27:25 +0000 Diana 2228302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to say that the Rachel comey dress was waiting for me when I got home, I tried it on, and i think it’s too long for me too! I also agree with you about the fabric- it seems quite well made but I found the puff sleeves to be kind of too much in that fabric. I think if it was this length and a drapier fabric OR several inches shorter and made of this stiffer fabric, I’d like it. As it is I don’t think I like it enough to bother shortening. </p> <p>(As an aside I got the nili Lotan trench as well and it’s also too long!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228265 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 20:48:22 +0000 Anonymous 2228265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No petite version of them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228264 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 20:44:33 +0000 Sal 2228264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think there will be easier dresses out there for you - this one does look nice but not sure it is worth fussing with.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>The coat is fabulous - I am trying to think who it would work on because it is so dramatic.&nbsp;</p> <p>Some brands are just not for our body shape.&nbsp; I remember having a discussion a few years ago when every dress I tried was too short.&nbsp; I explained that and the retail assistant said I could wear leggings or tights underneath (which is true) but I came to the conclusion I was too tall for all the dresses and moved on.&nbsp; Sometimes sizing up or down just does not work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228259 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 20:14:54 +0000 Anonymous 2228259@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I empathize with the fit of clothes that are too long. It makes them seem too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228257 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 19:49:37 +0000 Diana 2228257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, the coat looks overall too big in addition to being too long? &nbsp;And yeah i am kind of getting a bed jacket/sleeping bag vibe. &nbsp;</p> <p><div>I like the dress. &nbsp;I'm kind of on the fence about whether you need to shorten it. I feel like it might work at this length with boots, but not with the shoes you're currently wearing. &nbsp;</p> <p>(I actually ordered the dress too - it's apparently been delivered and is waiting at home for me! &nbsp;I kind of suspected that it would be very long because I just assume all models are at least 4 inches taller than me.) &nbsp;&nbsp;</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228220 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 16:24:37 +0000 Angie 2228220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the colours on you! </p> <p>Both items need quite a bit of alteration. If you feel like doing that - keep and we can talk about it. If not, return and next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228214 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 15:57:33 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2228214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. I just peered carefully at the Target site. The coat looks like one of my MIL’s quilted bedcoat/housedresses on the model, too, but it’s hard to see because she is dressed in a column of black, and it obscures the cut of the garment. </p> <p>Well played, Target photo shoot stylist. Well played. </p> <p>I’m on the fence about the coat, leaning 65% no, 35% yes. I want so badly for this to be a hit for you, because the colors are so groovy! But you look overwhelmed in it, and would need to shorten the sleeves a bit as well as the length. Alterations raise the price beyond the $60 you initially paid. Do you love this coat to the extent of paying another $20 or more?</p> <p>I really like that dress, and I think it looks prettier on you than on the model. Again, though, there’s an added alteration cost, so I think you should be certain you really love it before you commit. (I feel like this is good relationship advice, too ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228212 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 15:40:57 +0000 Tanya 2228212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote to return the coat.&nbsp; The dress has potential if you are willing to have it hemmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228131 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 11:01:54 +0000 Christina F. 2228131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all, thanks for the input. </p> <p>Ultimately, I think I agree with cat2 that I have better dresses, though I think it’s the more workable of the two items. The fabric has sort of a stiff feel that I don’t enjoy, but it would be a minor complaint if I really loved it otherwise, because it’s not that bad. I still love to shop but I’m trying to be very picky about what I keep these days. I don’t really need anything, but I’m trying to add pieces I love in a sort of curated way, if that makes sense. </p> <p>If the turtleneck in the same print were still available, I would try it. It’s a cool print!</p> <p>Shevia, are used to shop a lot of these Target collaborations, and as those things go, these items are pretty nice. I have no direct experience or actual Rachel Comey items though - I’m sure those are nicer. The Nili Lotan jeans seem really nice too. Ah well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228116 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 08:18:12 +0000 lozz_oz 2228116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I empathise with you re items being designed for taller people - story of my life! I think the dress pick of the two.....with it hemmed a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228079 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 02:33:13 +0000 cat2 2228079@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress, but don’t think it’s as great as your Boden finds. I would give the coat a pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228071 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 01:44:58 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2228071@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the dress, but the coat is a no for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228070 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 01:30:11 +0000 Janet 2228070@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m liking the dress more than the coat, but agree that it could use some inches taken off the hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228058 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 00:52:04 +0000 Jaime 2228058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they both have potential but only if you want to invest in some tailoring. How is the quality? I am very curious about this collab and wondering if it feels more Target or more Rachel Comey in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228043 Wed, 29 Sep 2021 00:02:09 +0000 Windchime 2228043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cute coat and dress, and they run surprisingly long! I’m sorry nothing worked for you right now; as Angie says, Next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228041 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 23:49:56 +0000 Jenni NZ 2228041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, sorry the coat looks very much like what in NZ we call a “dressing gown”.<br /> I like the dress much better on you but agree it’s a bit long.<br /> The curse of the short person! I empathise. I recently returned a black jacket I had tried after a long search because the sleeves were too long and as they had zips at the wrist they were too difficult to alter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228034 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 23:01:48 +0000 kkards 2228034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this coat and i really liked it! I think its worth shortening. I think the colors are great on you…and its got a fun vibe that i can see you in. I like the dress as well.&nbsp;<br />Bummer that the jeans did not work for you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/rachel-comey-x-target-dress-and-coat#post-2228031 Tue, 28 Sep 2021 22:46:33 +0000 Christina F. 2228031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi all - taking a break from post-basement flood stuff to assess some items I got from the Target collabs.</p> <p>Both of these Rachel Comey items are too long on me, I think. The coat is so fun, and I’m tempted to shorten it to more of a mid-calf look. But I kind of get a fancy bed jacket vibe from it? Am I crazy?</p> <p>I am similarly on the fence about the dress, though at least I don’t get a hospital gown vibe from it.<br /> ! I certainly would shorten it as well. </p> <p>I also got the same Nili Lotan jeans as kkards, but they were both too tight and even longer on me. I don’t think it’s worth sizing up and then having them hemmed. </p> <p>So these Target items are for tall people, basically.</p> <p></p> <p>ETA - Finds</p>
