The quality is the same as the other brands they price compare to but quince is so much cheaper. I’m wearing two pairs of their studs right now even!

i really wanted to like their jewelry, but what i bought tarnished quickly (post earrings)

Ah, you must have bought the plated/vermeil - I have only ever bought the 14K solid gold. You need to read the descriptions, PP. The solid gold stuff is fantastic.

Yep my 14k pieces from them look great - I just actually placed another big order for 14k earrings and two necklaces.

Could anyone comment on sizing?
I want to try the long sleeve cashmere sweater. I’m a size 10 on most tops, pants and dresses but a 38D. Looking for it to fit with some room. Am I L or XL? I wear a lot of mediums in Banana Republic.

It's really weird and inconsistent - I'm a 14, the XL fit me in some things but I couldn't even get other things over my head.

Op here- one thing I forgot in my list is their alpaca sweaters- 10/10 would recommend. I sized up and machine washed it then stretched it back out

For the person who is 38D— I would definitely do an XL. I think everything runs 1-2 sizes smaller than most US stores, and that way you also give yourself flexibility if it shrinks a bit in the washing machine (I machine wash all my quince stuff)

I have really liked the stretch silk. I have the long sleeve blouses, skirts and shirt dresses. They have washed well and look like new with a steamer.

Is this the site with the shapeless linen tops and pants?

I am 5'2, 32D, 31" waist, 45" hips, with a short waist and torso. (Measurements provided because I don't think "I'm usually x size" is useful at all in clothing fit discussions.)

I've tried a ton of Quince clothing. Most have awkward fit issues, clearly cut for a more straight-size body.

The items I would recommend for the short and round like me are the silk pencil skirts (XL for my measurements) and silk tanks. The tanks are super short and boxy, even for my short torso. The medium is a better length, but the armhole is huge and exposes my bra. The small has a more reasonable armhole but is noticeably shorter, not even hip-length. I only wear it tucked into the pencil skirt and another non-Quince high-waist skirt I have.

The silk fabric (not sure if it's actually real silk) feels wonderful in DC summer humidity. For that reason alone I recommend.

I bought a linen dress that I loved initially but it appears to have stretched out weirdly. Bummed!

Just bought two of their long sleeve cashmere sweaters - they are super itchy! After reading all the positive reviews I am surprised - I am not overly sensitive to clothing / fabric, but it’s so bothersome I might return. Bummer bc they look great. Do they get more comfortable with wear? Did they change their fabric composition?

It is the EXACT SAME as the best-seller sommerset dress from Antrhopologie. I literally gasped when I saw this because I have paid $168 for the dress at Anthro (it has a cult-following because it looks amazing on almost all body types). Anthro carries it in a million prints and fabrics. But i got the orange and black ones from Quince. Bargain.

I also love Quince’s jersey dresses. They are so comfy and have pockets. Also very flattering.

Will go back for the cashmere tops and more earrings.

That dress looks like a garbage bag?

I must admit that’s not what I expected to see when I read the PP’s description. At least it has pockets?

Thank you to the PP who recommended the alpaca sweaters - the dry cleaning only was keeping me from buying them, so I'm glad that I can machine wash them. I'm 5'7 and 130 lbs, very hourglass, small boned with a big butt (30E bra and size 4 pants) and I love the silk shirts and sweaters. Because of my boobs I need M in their tops.

How is the silk skirt? It looks so pretty but probably wouldn’t work with my body type anyway.
