Has anyone seen any of these pieces in person?

I took a look at the BR site, and none of the pieces really speak to me in a flattering manner. I really don't want the KM Engagement dress, but was hoping for some nice colours.

Kinda bummed

They all look super short, and that curved seam at the bust line looks weird on the wrap tops.

O-o Yeah; and the fabrication is disappointing.

Yeah--way too short. Will they come in tall sizes?

I only saw petite and standard sizes, even though the website lists hem lengths for Tall also.

The Tall sizes seem a bit short too - 37". I prefer my hems 39 or 40" these days, and that just touches my knee caps.

Yes forgot to add that -- I prefer 40" too!

I saw a couple of dresses and tops in person at my store today. The wrap-style dresses and tops are thin and feel kind of cheap. I think they would pill after only a few wearings, and I'm not sure how the seams would hold up either. Also, I hate that curved seam thing under the bust. Issa's designer collection dresses don't have that, so I'm not sure why these dresses would.

This zebra dress felt nice and substantial:

It's not lined, though, and dry clean only. The print didn't really do it for me. It also comes in cheetah print, but that one wasn't at my BR:

This dress was there, it felt nice and fairly decent quality:

Not really my style though. The dresses are fairly short if you are at all tall. My friend tried on one of the dresses (she's 5'10") and it was more like a tunic on her.

All in all, I'm pretty disappointed.

Thanks Ana - Your poor friend! Maybe I"ll have to shell out the big bucks for the real deal.
