I was hoping for that. I didn't realize until after I had completed the checkout online that I could have exchanged the Kut pants for a different size rather than returning and then requesting the larger size. I'll know for next time!</p> <p>Thanks, <b>Glory</b>.</p> <p><b>Viva</b>, thank you. I agree with what you said about accessing brands not available locally. There were a couple of items from brands I'd never heard of.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947588 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 15:00:41 +0000 viva 1947588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love this dress on you! </p> <p>I didn’t keep anything from my first box, gave detailed feedback, and then kept two items from the second.<br /> It’s a fun way to get exposure to clothing that’s not easy to find locally and I’m sure I will try it again at some point. Looks like you did really well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947587 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 14:53:22 +0000 Glory 1947587@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress is fabulous- I’m glad you decided to keep it.

It can be frustrating to try to keep a wardrobe current when shopping opportunities are few and far between.</p> <p><b>suntiger</b>, exactly right. I do try on at least that many items to make one purchase, either B&amp;M or online. You may be right about the specific wardrobe holes. I'm toying with the idea of requesting a box with all patterned tops in specified colors to try to help my workwear capsule.</p> <p><b>Suz</b>, I hope so. I plan to try again and see how it works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947549 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 13:28:49 +0000 DeAnna 1947549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful ! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947526 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 11:35:46 +0000 Suz 1947526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous dress on you and it sounds like a great service. I'll bet they get better at predicting what will work for you over time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947517 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 09:53:34 +0000 Anonymous 1947517@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you found a winner, and 1 out of 4 isnt bad. Youd probably try more things on in a shop than that! That being said, it may not be the best solution if you have specific wardrobe holes to fill (im guessing). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947515 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 09:48:42 +0000 Style Fan 1947515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great dress!&nbsp; Thanks for the review.&nbsp; I see lots of ads for Stitch Fix and have always wondered about it.&nbsp; I live far away from a major center too.&nbsp; It does make shopping challenging. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947460 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 01:12:54 +0000 cindysmith 1947460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress looks so good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947452 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 00:28:25 +0000 Becky 1947452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, <b>Angie</b>. The shoes are Comfortiva. They are new and soooo comfortable. The color is a perfect nude-for-me, bookend-my-hair.</p> <p><b>Jussie</b>, thanks for the kind words. When I look at your photos, literally the last thing I would think would be "thick midsection!" I guess it just goes to show we are far more aware of our own bodys' quirks than anyone else ever could be. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947449 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 00:17:12 +0000 jussie 1947449@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks great! It goes well with the jacket and shoe too. Fab :)<br /> I also have a small bust, but a thick midsection so usually wrap dresses don’t work...... but sometimes they do and it’s wonderful! I find if the dress is a thick, firm knit that still has a lot of stretch and recoil it can mould to the body well enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947447 Mon, 13 Aug 2018 00:04:44 +0000 Angie 1947447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FUN. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. Why the heck not! </p> <p>Gorgeous dress, <b>Becky.</b> And fab shoes too. Are they Munros? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947433 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:45:09 +0000 Becky 1947433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Barbara Diane</b> and <b>rachylou</b>, for your kind words. I probably wouldn't have picked this dress for myself, just based on the faux wrap feature, and also the fact that the second color is navy (I guess I've steered away from navy and toward charcoal/black because of footwear?), but I'm so glad I had a chance to try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947430 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:24:37 +0000 rachylou 1947430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s great to know that it worked. Super dress. I see Stitch Fix ads all the time and wonder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947428 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:08:12 +0000 Barbara Diane 1947428@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Really nice dress. I hope the pants work and also the other items in the next box.<br /> Thanks for the review. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947426 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:07:04 +0000 Becky 1947426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, <b>Sterling</b>. I could tell the pants would be great if I could get the fit right. If I do, I'll probably duplicate in other colors/patterns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947424 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:05:47 +0000 Becky 1947424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Brooklyn</b>, I am hoping that's the case. I gave very detailed feedback on each item about what did and did not work about each one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947422 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:04:43 +0000 Anonymous 1947422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THAT dress is indeed fabulous. &nbsp;Great color. &nbsp;Great fit.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm glad you are trying the kut from the kloth in a larger size. &nbsp;I love that brand. &nbsp;It has always worn exceptionally well and the comfort level is off the scale. &nbsp;I always get complements when I wear mine. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947421 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 22:04:08 +0000 Brooklyn 1947421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The dress looks fabulous. I saw this advertised in the US and was very intrigued by the concept. Sounds like the choices they made for you were pretty on the money. I wonder if the box will improve each time as they get to know your preferences and fit better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/so-i-tried-stitch-fix#post-1947419 Sun, 12 Aug 2018 21:57:00 +0000 Becky 1947419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by <b>gardenchick</b>'s post about Stitch Fix and the many responses from YLF, I decided to give it a try. Though people who love shopping and have ample opportunities to shop might not find this option as appealing as shopping B&amp;M, my situation is a bit different. I live in The Back of Beyond, where GOOD shopping is literally a 5-hour drive away. I do most of my shopping online, and have a pretty high return rate. Even when I have a chance to shop (either online or B&amp;M) and a reasonable shopping budget, I seem not to find items I really LIKE often. So I keep clothes forever, even when they no longer "spark joy" and/or are beginning to look shabby. So I thought, what do I have to lose?</p> <p>I was pleasantly surprised by my first box. Though I only ended up keeping one item (details to follow), I felt like these were all items (with the exception of the necklace) that *could* have worked for me if the fit had been right. They were items in line with my personal color palette, taste, and style.</p> <p>Here's the breakdown:<br />Skies are Blue Raja Knit Collarless Blazer (gray): Fit was great, color was perfect, quality was high. The reason I didn't keep? It's very similar to a jacket I already own that I picked out myself IRL! :-)</p> <p>Calvin Klein Kamala V-Neck Knit Top (black/blue/white print): Would have been a seamless fit with my work capsule that includes black trousers. The neckline was high enough and didn't gape open. Even though CK does seem to run small, in my experience, the size they sent was way too wide in the torso. Maybe meant for bustier women? So it went back.</p> <p>Kut from the Kloth Stephany Printed Slim Straight Leg Pant: Loved the color/pattern and cut, and the fabric was exactly what I like: substantial, yet with stretch. Unfortunately, the size they sent was way too small. Does Kut run small? I've never tried the brand before. So in the detailed feedback I gave about each item, I requested the same item to be sent in the next box in the next larger size.</p> <p>And finally, the winner. Kassidy Faux Wrap Dress: Though I am leery of wrap dresses (being a Woman of Small Bust) because the necklines tend to be too wide and gape open, this one was just right. DD15, who eagerly participated in the try ons (I think she may be wanting a Stitch Fix box of her own), anxiously asked, "You're keeping that one, aren't you?" I loved the pattern, and the length was just right. I wore it today and felt fab.</p> <p>So, I think I'll be doing Stitch Fix again. I won't have a scheduled box, but will order one when I know I'll have time to spend trying on and evaluating items, or maybe even when I'm looking for something specific, as there are instructions you can give to the stylist if you're prepping for a specific event or looking for something in particular. </p>
