I joined a friend's group who sells it, and she posted a picture of a bigger gal, I would guess size-wise right on the border of regular and plus-size in regular mall brands, wearing the same dress in 6 different sizes, from small to 3x! The small and mediums fit her more like a longer/tunic top, but the rest of them were definitely dresses. How the hell do you know what size you would wear? There are no measurements posted anywhere that I can see, the size charts just say like, 2-4 is a small, 6-8 is a medium, etc.
Yep. And I went to a party to try some on and found that the fabrics are all wildly different. Depending on the stretch and thickness of the fabric I was anywhere from an XS to a M in the dresses. What bothers me about this is that their business model relies on purchasing through facebook without trying the clothes on. Most have a no-return policy. Very weird. I might buy a piece here or there at an in-person party but I won't buy anything through facebook. You have no idea what you'll be getting.

Went to my first party last night. I thought the majority of the prints were pretty hideous, but even worse was the quality of the fabrics. Very thin and cheap feeling. Also, they seem to like the tight on bottom with a long loose shirt on top look which is awful on me.
Not impressed.

to each (singular) his or her own. English has been looking for a non gendered singular 3rd person pronoun for years, so writers took the plural gender free plural pronouns and stick them in where singular pronouns should go.

This is what was being corrected. Read at the top of the page. I would be rude to you, but you also hate Lularoe, so there's that, and we are mocking the overly enthusiastic rep.
To each there own my friend.
Now go use your powers of grammar for good.
I am happy to join you in your hatred of lularoe and I understand the there/their correction, but I was pointing out that "their" was still incorrect as each is singular and needs singular pronouns (his, her, its) and not a plural pronoun "their.
Oh I breezed by that part. It's perfectly acceptable now and made correct by common usage in our evolving language. Unlike Lularoe leggings...perhaps? Maybe they will become commonly acceptable too!?
Yep, all languages changes and English has adopted the gender neutral plural third person as acceptable when you don't want to use gender where you would normally singular pronouns. Can't fight the change. I just thought it was one additional point from that awful post to correct. I'm not a big grammar corrector usually, but the Lularoe clothes were so ugly, I didn't want to see them further demeaned.
I'm still shocked by the hideousness of the clothes.

No, I have never seen one item of this clothing that looks anything but hideous and awful.

I agree that most of the prints are hideous. But am I crazy to think some of the skirts are cute? Would anyone working in a professional setting in an urban area be caught dead in these?

It's insane to me that a 3x shirt costs the same as an XS shirt. It takes like 5x the material and more in labor costs.
That said, I've bought about 3 Lularoe pieces. Many of the prints are tacky and hideous, but some are quite cute. I think the leggings are WAY overpriced at $25 for something so thin and flimsy. But I've bought a Nicole dress which I love - it's extremely flattering, in a cute and more "classic" print, and I think a pretty good deal for the price.

Your seller will only get this random (and in my taste, ugly) bunch of prints. You get to pick from just those patterns, there's no selecting. Also, solid colors are really rare.
This!!! Your rep doesn't get to choose what they have to offer, so you get very little choice. And it's an mlm no matter how you look at it
