What is Stitch Fix? Stitch Fix is a mail order styling service for women. You sign up on their website, answer their questions to create a style profile, pay the $20 styling fee, and receive 5 items curated for you by one of their stylists. You also have the opportunity to create a Pinterest board to link to for your stylist and a place to write notes about any details you want to share with your stylist that you think will help them understand what you're looking for. Clothing goes from sizes 0/XS-14/XL and includes maternity and petite sizing.
Stitch Fix allows you to leave a note for your stylist where you can leave requests, give them feedback or let them know any special events you have coming up that you'd like them to keep in mind. In my note to my stylist, I requested an all dress fix for the two big weddings I have coming up: one in a French Chateau, the other in a Montana barn.
Here's what I got:
Maggy London - Kamren Dress
VERDICT: Kept. (EASY!) $98
Adrianna Papell - Shondra Lasercut Dress
VERDICT: Returned ($118)
Collective Concepts - Leonore Dress
VERDICT: Returned ($78)
Brixon Ivy - Laser Cut Dress
​VERDICT: Returned ($78)
41 Hawthorn - Arlinda Textured Dress
​VERDICT: Returned ($68)
The Nitty Gritty
If you refer a friend (or inspired stranger), then you received a $25 credit when that person orders and receives their first fix. So, if you're interested in trying this service, I'd love for you to use my Referral Link. ;o)
Every fix comes with a personalized note from your stylist describing briefly why s/he picked the items for you. In addition, there is a card that shows two ways to style each item in the fix in order to give you inspiration.
When it comes to checking out, the $20 styling fee is credited back to you, even if you keep just one item. Also, if you buy all five items, then the whole lot is 25% off. It's interesting how the 25% off plays into the decision-making process.
