New Clothing Subscription Box: Dia & Co

I received my Dia&Co box on Friday (11/6/15) and I’m very disappointed. It was as if my stylist didn’t listen to my requests at all. I said my style was Boden, J Crew, Ann Taylor; “Mad Men” but not a period costume. I said I wanted work jeans or boot cut pants, and instead I got fake leather leggings! I did not check off cape from the outwear section and yet I got one! They also sent a high-low, black-and-white striped dress was not the kind of dress I described wearing (sheath or a-line); it was formless, shapeless and was not flattering on my pear-shaped figure. The two shirts were closer but not good fits and also one was over the cost range I set for shirts, so not affordable! I listed several times how cost conscious I am.

Not sure what my stylist saw in my profile, or my pinterest or facebook profiles that even indicated the clothes she sent matched my style.

Perhaps my style and price range are not a good fits for Dia&Co’s services. I’ve tried to talk with Dia&Co via their email ([email protected]) but they have not responded to any of my (three!) emails; I also messaged them via facebook. I don’t want them to send me another box: I want my styling fee back since it’s clear to me my stylist didn’t take my style into account at all. I don’t feel like I should pay for a service that they didn’t actually provide.

I tried Dia out and I was so very excited, but it was a total miss. The price points are great, but when you see the quality of the clothing and the brands, you can see why. After seeing some of the videos online, it seems like they might cater to a much younger crowd that isn’t so interested in quality as they are in fast fashion. A friend recently told me about a new company called Plvsh that apparently is a little higher end and better quality clothing. I’ve signed up and am going to give them a try.

I signed up last week and had my phone call with my stylist and also said my box would be sent out around the first. So I’m wondering do they send a tracking email when they’ve sent it? Has anyone received theirs yet?

I have been waiting for so long for a true plus size clothing service. I signed up and am on the waitlist for the time being- which is fine. I might also try Relish, as some have suggested.

I never liked the idea of renting clothes ( something a little EWWW about it), so Gwynnie Bee was never an option for me.

I could cry! I’m at the higher end of plus size and this is the first time I’ve ever seen something that I can try, I’m SO excited! I have to give this a go, I’m really happy they’ve started this and I never would have found it if you hadn’t have posted it. Thanks Liz!!

My first box from this company was a miss. I wrote in my profile and discussed in my phone call that I didn’t want tunics or longer shirts, and I was sent three huge, long shirts. The sizes were all over the place as well, so I was sent things that were too big and things that were too small. Even though the profile is extensive, nowhere are you asked for your actual measurements other than your height and bra size. I’ve seen a lot of big, flowy tops…not all of us want to hide under tents of fabric.

I just signed up as well and my box should be shipping on the first! I run between size 12/14/16 and have a really hard time finding things to fit me. My most recent pair of non-jean shorts are both sized 10. I just don’t get it, but I hope this works.

Curious….they want to have me set up a 10 minute phone call which is fine; I think it’s a good idea but part of me thinks it’s not safe to give out my phone number, such as wanting to cancel and keep getting calls or something. Has anyone consulted with them by phone yet?

Well that was quick. I signed up yesterday and got an email today about having a box sent out by the 1st.

Well I’m in! Love these type of things. I have been getting good boxes from SF with XL items, but love to try something new! Its on a waitlist right now.

There are some YouTube reviews of this. I liked what I saw there, so I am really interested in trying this out. I hope the waiting list isn’t too long.

I’m so excited, I’ve been dying for a plus size clothing service!!

Finally. I’m not the target customer for this service, but I have family members who are.

Well, I decided to jump in and try it even though I am always wary of new boxes. I like that you can choose when and how often you want one. I hope I don’t regret this!

Its about time they had a plus size clothing service. I would love to see this box reviewed because I am interested in applying for their service. I only wish there would be a plus size golden tote like service now.

I signed up for the waitlist– so glad to finally see a styling service that caters to plus sizes.

Will this box be reviewed by MSA? I’d love to see some more information about it!

I’ve received two boxes so far from Dia, and I love it! They are comparable to SF but not the same (other than $20 styling fee that goes toward cost of what you keep). The price points aren’t quite as high & it seems more personal. They even like to do a phone (or email) consult with you to get to know your style. I love the personal touch, that they price match & it’s more affordable for me. My stylist has also done a great job of incorporating my comments & tailoring to what I want. My last box had a floral summer dress, a really cute pair of shorts, a geometric necklace, a work friendly short sleeve shirt & the most awesome pair of boyfriend ankle jeans. All recognizable brands, total box cost $190 (even cheaper because I found the shorts on sale at a competitor & they matched it). One month they sent a pair of pants I loved but they didn’t quite fit, so they offered to find the size I need if I wanted them. I’ve tried all 3 vendors that offer this type of service & right now Dia is my favorite.

Def sounds like one I’d like to try out for a month at least! I love how even how often you receive the box can be customized!

Is this related to stitch fix? It seems like a similar format and even website layout.
