So I just sent this email to Nordstrom. If they respond, I will update
Hello-
This is more of a general complaint and comment. Last week I tried on this Stine Goya dress (item 5951563) at the downtown Seattle store. Your chart said an XL is equal to a US 14. I’m a size 16 in dresses, but I thought I’d at least try it one, because often your sizing is off. It was unfortunately, but not surprisingly too small in the chest.
I then realized that there is except for shoes there is almost nothing on the 2nd floor (Seattle) that would fit me. I looked at other floors and was disappointed. Anything in my size was not fashion forward.
I left the store empty handed and frustrated.
I was inspired by Batsheva style dresses and ended up finding a dress at H&M that fit me, in their store. I’m not a fan of fast fashion, but your selection, or lack there of drove me elsewhere
Nordstrom, from my understanding has enough market share to put pressure on designers. According to your website, this Stine Goya dress is exclusive to you.
In the past you have embraced expanding size ranges, but I feel that you are no longer walking the talk, or even talking about it. Very little of the offerings, even online are interesting in my opinion. And given I’m in cusp sizes, if I search by XL, I will get items from designers that consider an US 10, an XL, even though your drop down sort list says otherwise.
I get emails often about the new designer offerings, and well it’s pointless.
