Has anyone ordered clothes from Coldwater Creek?

[RitaZ.]

If you have; how is the quality of their clothes & fabrics? Any opinions are appreciated.

Yes. I have like some of what I have ordered. Other pieces I have sent back because sometimes the item didn't look anything like in the catalog, or the quality of the item just did not warrant the price.

In all honesty, I think I sent back more than I kept. Hope this helps.

dh got me a sweater from there for Christmas...but I won't see it til the 25th!

I think the quality is good. The sizes tend to run very large.

Their sizes do run bigger than expected. I also have sent back more than I've ended up keeping. Finally just resorted to visiting the store if I see something I really like. I have gotten some shirts made from the Tensel fabric that I really love!

Most of the things I've sent back have also been because I felt the quality of the materials did not support the price I had to pay.

Thanks for all the opinions! I thought the DIS would be a good place to get an honest opinion.

Thanks for letting me know that the sizes run larger, I had no way of knowing that. Their clothes do look very nice in the catalog, I really like their item descriptions. I just wanted to know if their clothes justified their prices.

Unfortunately, they don't have a store anywhere near me.

They have what I'm looking for, but first I'm going to try to find it at the mall. Hopefully, I'll find it and for less.

I'm another one who has sent back more than I've kept! I have some tops from them that I really like! Their pants are for people with REALLY LONG legs! I thought I had that licked by ordering a pair of "crop"pants - thinking that they'd be the right length for me. But, nope, they were too short for regular pants and too long for the cropped look. We finally have a store near-by, but I've only looked a little. I generally have liked the quality, but I hate to order full-price from them. (I shop their clearance items.)

I order clothes from them. I'm petite, and they have a much better selection of petite clothes than many other companies. I've sent back a few things, but not many. I agree that the sizes are huge--buy one size smaller than you'd normally wear. The stuff I've returned has been heavy cotton knits that were just so heavy that I looked huge since they didn't touch my skin at all. Everything I've ordered has been good quality, especially considering that they have really reasonable prices. The website has much better sales than the catalogue, so look there for the best bargains.

I am a large person-and i buy a lot of clothes from coldwater creek-some things I do not care for-but that is the case with any retailer, and I have gotten some things that are very good value. for great deals go to their www. site and check out the outlet section-i once got a velvet suit orginally priced at over $200 for %58. I like that they make things long!

This is what I'm looking at. I like the whole outfit, but I was only looking for the skirt.

I'm going to try to find a similar skirt tomorrow, if I can't find it I will order this set. I'll keep in mind the suggestions on sizing.

Thanks again!

I've been tempted by the catalog, too. It's nice to hear some opinions. Rita, that is a very nice looking skirt.

I've been to their store at the Garden State Plaza in Paramus, NJ. I didn't buy anything, but I was impressed. It's a very "pretty" store, nicely done. The staff was quite friendly.

It was interesting to see their merchandise in person. It was good quality, no disappointment.

My sister told me about their outlet store that she visited when she was in the DC area.

All the women in my family love Coldwater Creek.
We were just fighting over my catalog on Thursday-
"let me show you what I want...I want the catalog.
Just give it to me for a minute so I can show you
this one thing...LOL" We have a store here but we
like the catalog for variety. I can't remember sending
anything back nor hearing anyone say they had.
We are all over 5'5" so the length isn't a problem,
we like our clothes flowing and most of theirs do.
