Stitch fix will price match, btw. I've done it several times, and yes the quality is low, prices are high. BUT some pieces I've bought are my absolute favorite things. One pair of maternity jeans that are so freaking awesome, I've worn them 14 mos PP. (They are not obvi maternity.) Same with some black leggings with really cute minor details. And a couple of pieces of jewelry where the Fixer just "got" me.

It saved me so much time too.

IDK, if you don't like stuff, you can send it back. I don't get the problem.

Also 47 hawthorne is them. I looked it up one time. Both SF and hawth register to the same address.

Crap. Tried it once.

Totally agree. So not worth it

Damn. I just signed up and am getting my first box this week. I am in a post-babies-machine-washable-jersey-dress rut.

I should just do the Nordstrom personal shopper thing, shouldn't I?

It sUUUUUUUUUcks!!!! They send the same crap over and over. Some of what they sent me was like what Mrs. Roper would wear. WTF? I love the idea, but they just could not send me things that I would ever feel like wearing.

Cheap, basic bitch clothing. I was disappointed.

Just got my first shipment yesterday and it was beyond awful. It makes Target look seriously high end-- this stuff was reminiscent of the $5 store I remember from when I was a teenager. Cheap polyester shirts that I suppose were meant to be worn under the hideously cheap black knit blazer they sent. Also a faux leather jacket that was crumpled and awful. The black jacket and printed or solid shirt-- was that supposed to be "styling"? This seems like it's for people who hate to shop in stores AND don't want to or know how to shop online. Because yea, you could pick up better stuff at Target while you're over there on a toilet paper and toothpaste run. To answer a PP, the only brand I recognized was Collective Concepts, which Piperlime used to sell. It can be ok, but it's definitely lower end, fast fashion printed polyester usually.

One interesting thing is that there are a ton of blogs where women post photos of what they got in their Stitch Fix box, and then of themselves wearing the items. They are all exclusively photos of someone wearing a blouse or sweater and black pants or jeans. There is no styling going on here, and I can't imagine how any of it was much better or different than what they already owned, assuming they've purchased clothing in the last two or three years.

Ugh. I got my first delivery from Stitch Fix, and you ladies nailed it. Cheap and ugly. Totally doesn't fit my style profile. Looks like stuff you'd buy from TJ Maxx for $10. In fact you could do much better there. I am canceling my account.

Please name brands for this and Stitch Fix. Is it anything we would recognize or just ... stuff?

Me too. I wanted to love their stuff so much!

With ModCloth, you really need to be diligent about reading reviews. I've gotten a lot of cute, good-quality stuff from the site, and have also read a lot of poor reviews that led me to NOT order things I liked in photos. The community is great, and I've never been steered in the wrong direction.

+1 I always spend a long time reading reviews before I buy anything. Perhaps I am neurotic.

Anonymous wrote:I did it for four months and cancelled...the quality of the clothes was subpar for the price. I also indicated a higher price point and received items from Kut from the Kloth and Splendid but also plenty of brands that I could easily purchase at Nordstrom Rack, Marshalls, or TJMaxx for a fraction of the cost. I think it's a decent service for someone who hates shopping and doesn't have a great sense for how to put things together.

I will say - it was exciting to get the package each month, even if it was ultimately disappointing!

This is me exactly! I have gotten three boxes so far, and kept one thing from each box. I got cute jeans, a fun date-night top, and a great sweater. I did not, by any stretch of the imagination, get a deal on any of these pieces, and I am sure I could have found similar pieces for less. BUT, I hate shopping, and I am so clueless about fashion. I'll probably try StitchFix a couple times at the start of each season to perk up my wardrobe.

All that to say, if you like shopping (or even just don't HATE it) and know what you're doing with clothes, you probably don't need Stitch Fix.

PP here - just got my first delivery and I agree it's a mixed bag (or box). There's one top that easily could be $9.99 at Ross. It's a super cute print but it's $60 from stitch fix so definitely not keeping it. I also got a nice, bright color cardigan that I would keep but the length just isn't quite right. I like the style though.s There's a necklace that's also cute but it's a little fancy for my everyday and I don't think it would get a ton of wear so I'm sending it back. I will probably keep a pair of slim cut jeans in a dark rinse but still on the fence because it's not something I really need - they are flattering which is hard to find but I was more hoping to get interesting pieces than basics like jeans. The one piece of the bunch that was a total dud was a boho blouse. I specifically said I don't like frilly or boho. I'm 37 and this looks like it belongs on a teenager or a 75 year old grandma on a Florida beach. You couldn't pay me enough to wear it out of the house. Maybe that was the "out of my comfort zone piece!" Overall I liked it and it was fun to open the box. I wouldn't do it all the time but maybe once a season it would be fun to see about treating myself to a new piece or two. Wish I could attach photos to share. Hope this helps!

To each her own. I've been pretty happy with my stitch fix stuff. My first box was awesome. Second, third, and fourth boxes were just okay (I only kept one item per box). Last box was terrific. I think it depends on your style.

I'm not a fashion maven but I am particular about quality. I love that they push me outside my comfort zone. I recently realized that all of my most-worn items are from Stitch Fix.
