Stitch Fix Clothing Subscription Box Review – June 2017

Just got my first box after holding off for months since filling out the survey (The waived styling fee finally made it worth a shot). I was really afraid after using a personal styling app called Tailor that SF wouldn’t know how to handle my desire to avoid “trendy” items, but I was pleasantly surprised! All the items I received were indeed direct reflections of my Pinterest board and given information, though never the less all but one were just slightly “off.” I hope feedback would lead to fine tuning, but I’m not sure with my budget at the moment that it’s such a good idea for me order another fix.
As for the one jacket that I fell in love with, I’m currently kind of torn because it’s far more than a thrift shopper like myself is used to spending on one item ($88!) but I can almost justify it.
With pricing in general I will point out that you can adjust your cost preferences for each type of item, but the two lowest options are “the cheaper the better” and “$50 – $100.” All the items I requested to be as cheap as possible fell in the $40-$50 range, so that was kind of disappointing. Meant sending back things I would’ve kept if they were half the price.
Overall I enjoyed the experience of being surprised and was impressed that the stylist already seems to get my style. If you’re on a tight budget though beware, because their whole business is run on the psychology that once something’s already in your house it feels easier to buy it.

Thank you so much for reviewing and putting up the prices as well. I was back and forth but was iffy when no pricing was given. working mom of two in this economy, yeah cannot afford it. maybe later on in the future..

So since my first box is late a “huge” issue for me because the app keeps saying it’s arriving today (it’s 5:45pm as we speak)! And USPS hasn’t a clue where it is either, this box is going to need to really wow me.

I got my first box today. I’m really happy with it. I’m using this to try clothes I normally wouldn’t try on.

There’s one top that I will wear to work but I’m not in love with. If I returned it, I would have spent the same amount after removing the 25%.
Everything else was fantastic.
I did get a sleeveless top and I said I didn’t want sleeveless but I actually loved the way it looks on.
My first box is a winner for me.

My box arrived today. I had pinned about 20 things and noted that I really wanted a top in yellow, orange and red by Renee C. They sent a grey striped shirt. I asked for white pants. They sent tan and black checked. 1 shapeless baby doll shirt with ruffles in blue, I had said “no blue”. 1 dress that exposed my back (which I like to keep covered, noted in my preferences) and was of very transparent material. The final piece was a shapeless tan cardigan. I guess I should throw it over the dress?
It all went back with an email to them to refund the fee. What a pile of cheap crap. 🙁

I love your booties! They are so cute.

Everything else is just meh. The crochet top would be great if it was $50

The sandals was cute, everything else just look out of season.

Maybe I’m not seeing it but I think the black shirt looks lovely and the buttons included. However no one knows what looks best on you better than yourself.

I tried two shipments. The clothes are expensive. Their fit seems off. I was sent one top. Though it was cute, it had a strong smell of dye. I was sent a very nice pair of jeans. I did not buy them. I can’t bring myself to pay 88.00 for a pair of jeans when I can get a pair just as nice at Macy’s on sale for $30.00. I repeatedly told my stylist I have heavy thighs and therefore cannot wear skinny jeans. I was sent about 3 pair of skinny jeans or slacks.

I am so not comprehending their insistence that long sleeved, plaid, button down shirts are a “thing” for spring and summer.

I think I’ve given up on Stitch Fix (unless they do another month of waiving the styling fee). My first few boxes were good, and they sent me what became one of my favorite pairs of jeans, but it all seems to have gone slowly downhill. I found that if I’m specific in requests to my stylist when I schedule a Fix, I’ll get what I ask for, but I’ve had the best success when I give her a general idea, like summer work tops, and tell her to surprise me. But, I can’t justify​ keeping one item that I’m “ehhh” on just to make it worth the $20 anymore.

You would probably hate 3/4 of the sandals in my closet. I have SO MANY with rhinestones on them.

There is so much mismatching of the plaid pattern across the seams of that shirt it hurts to look at it!!

The black top is awkwardly designed as you mentioned.

I do like the white top, but agree it’s not a $74 one.

If any of you follow sales, Stitch Fix generally has items that have been previously clearanced out. I found out they rename clothes after finding an expensive shirt on the rack that I bought from SF but couldn’t find anywhere with name of too provided.

Also, I’ve never seen them do edgy.

I tried stickfix when looking for very specific types of clothing that I was struggling to find myself. It worked great for that, and my stylist really took my preferences into account. I will probably reserve this service for those times because I can do enough damage to my wallet shopping on my own for most things and probably find better deals too! But my single fix experience did work out great.

with the exception of the sandals, that really feels like a fall box to me… I’m wondering what your stylist was thinking putting that together in May?!

Those jeans look awesome and I like your sandals, but you’re right, the tops are off. I’ve got my 4th box coming June 3rd and it’s a “make or break” for me. My first box was awesome but the last 2 have been a little more lackluster.

Well,your stylist got the jeans right. They are very cute and look good on you. But going into summer soon the long sleeve tops do not make sense to me. And I would not consider any of those tops “romantic” or “edgy”.
