The Webster for Target...
So I woke up early to go check out the goods. My store didn't have a alot of stuff. What about you ladies, what did you think? I only purchased on dress. I was going to get this tunic but I didn't love it so I didn't. The dress is well made and was $36. I did take pictures for a blog post I'll be doing today.
Re: The Webster for Target...
I've been eyeballing this dress all morning.

I stopped by Target on my way home from the gym... they had a great selection (it's a Super Target). I got the navy tank dress the poster above linked. I thought it was well made and the fabric seemed nice. I also bought the coral striped hat and the men's striped shirt (for me). I got a few Privet things too for our bedroom since we're using corals in there.
Most of the Webster stuff I saw looked really nice... I might buy some more stuff. I really liked the cardigans, but it's already 1000 degrees here in Knoxville. The maxi dresses were cute, too. I wasn't sure they'd be long enough for me (I'm 5'10), plus I'm getting plastic surgery in 1.5 weeks, so I didn't want to buy too much.
I shopped online since their plus sizes aren't available in store. I wanted so much of it and really had to reign myself in. I had two pairs of shoes in my cart, but decided to wait on those. I really hope these run true to size so I don't have to return.
TTS in my opinion. I'm busty, and tall, so I picked up a L to make sure it wasn't too short on me when I bend over and grab my kids. It's actually not that short, so I probably could have done a M (esp post surgery - I'm having a reduction).
I typically fluctuate between M/L in dresses/tops like that depending on length and the cut around the bust. HTH!
I just ordered online to get the petite sizes (which I am happy to see are on almost all the women's pieces):
I'm heading to Target in a little while and would love to try on these tis dress and these shoes:
This might be a stupid question but are the Shops a limited edition thing like the Design For All collections?
FYI Betha, the shoes are online only as far as I know.
Cute finds everyone else! I have my eye on these:

I saw the items and they seemed really nice, for the price. The dress I picked is Rayon and Spandex and it fits well. The accessories are really well made. Some of the shirts I didn't care for, but the dresses were all really nice. I wish they had the shoes in store because they looked really cute.

I liked the navy blue dress, but was unimpressed with the quality. The material is simpler to the striped shift Wu dress I purchased a couple months ago which shrunk a full size after I handwashed in cold and laid flat to dry.
Living in FL I really liked the Miami Beach style of this line in photos, but was unimpressed with the quality and fit. I left the store with just a few earrings and a bangle bracelet.
I picked this up in the store and walked around holding it, deciding if I really liked it or not. I ultimately decided not to get it because the top seemed kind of see through and it came down to my knees. the petite is probably better.
I ordered the closed toe espidrilles in both colors (will only keep 1)

I tried the navy/green tank dress and also didn't pick it up. Be aware that there is a pleat at the top - which I guess is supposed to make the dress overall more swingy. Anyway. If you are young and/or short, it's probably pretty cute. I'm too tall for it (it just is a bad look on me - too juvenile - it was not too short).
I also tried this strapless dress - there was too much material in the top, so I didn't get it.
The bikinis looked really cute though. I didn't try them on.

I really like that print. I had a hard time deciding between that dress and the white one with coral print.
My Blog - Really Renata
I was disappointed that they don't have this skirt in orange, not online at least. I got it in navy, but really wanted it in orange.
I did not like how this looked in person at all. Very synthetic looking. Also, the arm holes were weirdly small.
I got:
The dress might run a little big...I got a L for the length and it is pretty trapeze-y on me but I actually like the way it looks (super casual). It's pretty flimsy but cute.
I got the cardigan in a S and I think it is pretty TTS.
FWIW, I tried on a blazer and I think it runs fairly TTS in the body but very slim in the arms.
I'm returning the necklace - the silver sand dollar pendants seem to be of nice quality but the necklace itself is made of embroidery thread. Doesn't seem like it will hold up very well for $35.
And as an FYI to anyone thinking of getting the green/navy hat, the cream colored stripes are actually yellow. I like it a lot.
I also got these things for H:
(runs a bit small)
SO soft and cozy. Much nicer quality than any of the women's stuff!
And a cute straw fedora that I can't find online.
I got this dress:
It doesn't look like much on the rack, but I really like the fun print. I'm 5'7" and the medium falls about 1 inch above my knees.
I also tried on the sleeveless navy jersey dress and wanted to love it, but it made me look heavy. The armholes are way too big. It fit like a swingy mumu dress.
The green/beige plaid bring dress fit well (I'm a 6 in dresses and I took a medium here), but the colors looked horrible on me. Only a pale blonde could pull this one off, IMO.
I didn't like anything else from this collection. In fact, I was more drawn to the Merona racks.
Surprisingly, the menswear items were more stylish and high quality. I wish the white/navy striped shirt came in an XS.
I was thinking the same thing! I'm in LOVE with the shirt I bought for H. It is so so soft.
Also, w/r/t the navy dress, I agree that the armholes are strangely long. I bought it, but I plan to wear it primarily as a cover up with a swimsuit.
Lurker...
I got a ton of stuff! Im 5'4, short waisted and about a size 8. 32G bra. I bought a ton of stuff and tried it on at home (had 13 month old with me).
I really want to love the swingy navy dress and I got it in a medium and it was ENORMOUS. Too long, and just generally huge. I ordered it online in a petite small, we will see. I got the navy lacy skirt in med and love it - wearing it now! I ordered the coral online too. I got the white cardigan and need to exchange for a small I think. It is really nice and thick, feels substantial. Got a bunch of jewelry and this hat
I got this because i couldnt help myself... it is SO cute IRL. It was hideous on me, as I should have known though. Would be cute on someone less busty I think.
I surprised myself and really liked this one IRL. The length was perfect on me. The top is pretty generous though and Im returning for a small. It wouldnt work on someone flat chested.
I thought the plaid dresses were really ugly IRL. THe pink and navy sheath looks really cute, but wouldnt work on my figure.
I ordered some more online to try, including some shoes.
Honestly, if the shirt goes on sale, I'm going to buy the size small and try to shrink the hell out of it!
