I keep seeing the ad for it pop up, and was wondering if anyone ever tried it

Yes, and I like it a lot. Some of the pieces are expensive, so I sometimes can't afford anything they send me, but I usually love everything in the Fix.

I scheduled my first box for march 15th. I can give you an update when I get it!

@littlebug: What do they average? I think I saw somewhere that the average per piece is around $65. That's what makes me hesitate.

I just googled this (had no idea what it is) and while it sounds like such a great idea, avg price of $65 for an item is a little much. They do say they have cheaper and more expensive pieces. Try looking up instagram pics of #stitchfix! That might give you some ideas of what you can expect in a box.

@grizz: Yeah, I'd say $50-60 is the average. I got a really cute short-sleeve cardigan for $45, and a really pretty silk tunic shirt for $65. But that same Fix had a pair of $140 jeans and a $110 dress.

@snowjewelz: Yup, that sounds about right.
@grizz: They do really make an effort to match your styles - there is a whoel questionnaire that you go through to tell them what you like and don't like, and how you like things to fit, and then there is a free-text box at the end if you want to add anything additional information. For my first 2 Fixes, I was breastfeeding/pumping, so I put that I needed "accessible" clothing, and they totally listened - the dress they sent was a wrap dress that could have been pulled over. It was REALLY cute, but I just couldn't justify $110 on a wrap dress. But yeah, the more detailed you are about your likes/dislikes and personal style "needs," the better they can match you.
If you keep even one thing, the $20 "stylist" fee you spend to get the Fix goes towards whatever you purchase. I've never sent the entire box back, always keeping at least one thing. I have another Fix scheduled for March as a birthday gift to myself.

@grizz: Nope! You don't even have to pick like "every 3 months" or any kind of schedule AT ALL. That's the beauty of it. You just log into your account and schedule when you want your next Fix. Right now they're really busy so they're backed up to late March, but still. So I got a Fix last year in July, then September, and then didn't schedule another one until now for March!

@snowjewelz: Hmmm. I hate to mess with remembering to send stuff back/go to the PO if I don't like it.

I've gotten maybe 4 or 5 boxes - I was doing it every month, but that got to be too much money, so I switched to every other month. The cheapest item I've received was $38, and the most expensive ~$150 for a trench coat. That being said, most of the stylists do a really good job of picking up on your style (for example, I sent them my Pinterest fashion board, and they sent me that $150 trench coat because it was almost an exact replica of a Burberry lace trench that I loved!) Some of the stylists don't really seem to pay attention to detail though (I'm 5'1", and they kept sending me normal length pants that ended about 5 inches past my feet.) The more info you give them, the better they seem to do!

@grizz: You can't really forget cause you only got 3 days! I would say go for it and try it once! I like shopping too much to just have stuff delivered lol

@snowjewelz: @grizz: I've also accidentally waited too long to send the clothes back and emailed them apologizing and promising they were on the way - they were fine with accepting them late.

I haven't yet cause I am waiting till I lose some weight. I have several friends that LOVE it!

Yep! I think its a great service, but can definitely be hit and miss. I've gotten 3 boxes. The first was definitely on the right path, though I only ended up keeping one thing. It was all my style though.
The second was so awful I complained, and they refunded my fee, so I got the third box. The third was much better, but I still only kept one item because things either didn't fit right, or were too expensive. But I did like just about everything in that box.

Yes! I've had two "fixes," and the second one was a vast improvement over the first.
In the first one they really didn't get my size or style correctly. However, they were VERY responsive to my feedback, and sent the second box without the $20 fee. I kept everything in that box, and have gotten many compliments on the clothing. I definitely don't do it every month, but it's good to know that it's there in case I feel like my wardrobe needs to be refreshed. I also love that since all the clothing comes to me, I can try it on with other pieces I already have to see if it will work a number of different ways.
Feel free to ask any other questions you might have. I even have a referral code if you're so inclined . Happy Stitch-Fixing!

@snowjewelz: @raspberries: @grizz: You don't have to go the PO! At least I don't. The return label is included in the package, and you can just schedule a "merchandise return" pickup with the PO online and then just leave it at your mailbox. Easy-peasy.

I love it and have gotten some of my favorite pieces from them. I recently scheduled a fix for mid march and can't wait! This mama needs new clothes. Most pieces are in the 50-65$ range but if you keep the whole box you get 25% off.

I have been thinking about trying Stitch Fix as a birthday present to myself. I love the idea of a stylist picking out things that I might not reach for in the store. I'm big on shopping sales and the outlets though so the average of $65 per item made me hesitate.

Anyone that has had their stuff for a while have reviews of how things have worked out and pics?
wonderful pear / 26210 posts
Nope and I won't, because it seems they private label the clothes, making it hard to comparison shop.

I love it! My cousin is actually the warehouse manager for them so sometimes I see something cute on their Instagram or from someone's blog that got a fix, I can request it. I've gotten a lot of cute stuff from them and love the convenience of it but it does get a bit pricey. My cousin said they take ppls comments and suggestions seriously and to heart. They are always trying to improve their services. They just recently opened up a warehouse in Indiana because they have been growing so much and want to make sure everyone who's requested to get a fix can get one in a timely manner instead of being on the waiting liar forever.

@Boogs: Do it! Sometimes they have some really cute stuff on there.

Yep love it! I've gotten 3 boxes and they always send me something I wouldn't pick out for myself but looks fabulous! Plus I like it's not a mandatory monthly subscription and that they will accomodate all price points.
