Modcloth clothes?

  • Has anyone purchased any clothes from Modcloth?

    My goal size is 8 and I just officially reached being a 12 after teetering between a 12/14.

    Anyways, I have been looking at Modcloth and really want to buy a dress from them to celebrate once I reach my goal. However, after reading reviews it seems that it is not that great for people who don't fit into a more modelesque or hourglass body shape. I am a weird mix between a triangle shape and pear and I am wondering if anywhere has experience! Thanks
  • I'm in love with the styles they showcase, but like you mention, there is always a comment saying that ''If you are tall/If you are busty/if you are WHATEVER'', it does not fit quite right. So I never dare ordering anything
  • I wish I could wear Modcloth's clothing. They have some of the cutest dresses, but all of their plus sized clothes seem to be rather small. At a size 12 you have a much better shot at their clothes fitting well for you than I do at a size 22/24! They have size charts, right? Those are usually pretty helpful.
  • I think you need to be specific body shape for their clothes. I have a few friends who buy their dresses and you body pretty much has to be perfectly proportional which even at my best I won't that way. Oh, well I think I will take a chance and get a dress!
  • I got a dress there the should have fit according to the charts but didn't so I had to send it back. However, their clothes are all from different manufacturers so some might be true to the chart while the others aren't. I just blocked their emails because I was too tempted and didn't want to go through the disappointment.
  • Like Madame Souza said, ModCloth isn't really one brand, all of their clothes come from different sources, so some manufacturers are likely to be a better fit for you than others. For what it's worth, I've made returns to ModCloth when things didn't fit and it was super easy.

    Keep Moving Forward - just FYI in case you're interested, they DO have a few things in the plus size section that fit a size 22. I was a snug 22 last summer and I bought a few dresses and a swimsuit from ModCloth
