that's what you get for living in the suburbs

Mine never received them (the bustier tops) in the first place...

[lucy92]

wow! so maybe march 15 was the online onsale date of the bustier tops!

i tried on the blue/white silk palm kimono dress today and the construction was marvelous despite the "pooch" effect, i think largely it has a slimming quality. this item is definitely a keeper!

[eli5e]

yes, it's sort of odd because they have stuff out in stores that they dont' have online yet (unless you find "hidden" links).. Because i read in Instyle that the bustier tops wouldn't come out until the 15th of march.

The only thing left that i'm looking forward to getting is the scarf that i saw in an ad, and that turquoise printed gauze skirt (i found the hidden link for it, but they are all out. I'm hoping that it'll still come out in stores)

Hey everyone, a couple of questions since I've been gone for awhile. Are any of the stores carrying the palm print dress yet? Is it sold out on the website because I don't see it there? Same question goes for the palm print tote. I'm just hoping I didn't miss out on either of these items because I really wanted them.

Oh, and on the dress...I see some of you commenting about a pooch. Are you saying that the fabric is generous making it look like a pooch or that if you have a pooch it will be accentuated? I'm wondering because I already have a poochy tummy so if it camoflauges that would be great but if it is snug, probably not.

I don't think anyone has posted this yet, my apologies if I missed it. The gray s/s sweatshirt is up on Target.com but it appears to be sold out:

GWARDDDDDD not again! This collection is becoming impossible. :X

I bought:
*The black sheer shirtdress.
I noticed people were complaining on the site about it being too sheer, like it was poorly made or something. But I really love it--I put it over a long black C&C tank and it works.

*The purple bustier dress
I adooooore this dress. I originally wanted it in black and was kind of bummed they only had it in purple, but now I'm totally loving the purple. I rarely wear purple and I think it was a really great piece to add to my wardrobe.

*The grey & white striped trapeze coat
This coat looks kind of ugly in the pictures I think, you really have to see it in person. I like the purple version of this, but it was a bit too crazy. The grey and white coat is a really fun shape and looks great belted. I recommend buying it in a size smaller than you normally would.

But I am really annoyed they sold out of the bustier tops so quickly. I had my eye on those for a long time!

[lucy92]

if you click on the looks tab and watch the models modeling the outfits you can see which items are officially sold out (ie the grey sweatshirt, the blue bustier and the blue/white silk palm dress) and which ones are "coming soon".
target now has free shipping for 75$+ clothes purchases.
target has added more items for sale like the purple palm print bikini.
i used this code to save 10% TCEXCSVE

[eleria]

thanks lucy! just ordered the purple palm print bikini!

[tanner]

the only thing I got was the the 2 tissue tees. I got them big becasue it was the only size left, and I like it better.

[pixiewytch]

I'm really bummed out. That silk palm dress was the one piece I wanted more than anything else. I hate to sound like I'm whining but honestly, couldn't they at least tell us when certain items would be in the stores or online so those of us who really wanted a particular item would have a chance before it sold out? Argh. I went to my Target again yesterday and they didn't have anything good

[MizBlue]

lucy92..My In Style magazine states the bustier will be out March 15 as well.
What is the deal with this?
I thought this line was available one time only?

For some reason, when I saw the dates in the In style Magazine (Sandra Bullock cover) I figured they had thier dates all wrong...but now I'm excited that at least I'll get antother cahnce to shop Proenza. S..At least I hope so....

Those dresses have been at my neighborhood Targets for more than a week. I tried one on, and was pretty shocked by the lackluster quality. The reason there is a "pooch"—the two pieces of silk (the palm print and the lining) are sewn together with a closed hem. This makes the consistency of the dress similar to Tyvek, rather than allowing each layer of silk to drape against the body. When you use the tie-belt, whatever fabric you have left at the waist just scrunches into a "pooch."

Believe me, they are not worth $40. The stitching quality also varies greatly from dress to dress. If you end up buying one, I would suggest seeing the dress you buy in person.

Hope this helps!

maybe the purple silk bustier top will be out march 14th. who knows.

people are reporting seeing the blue ones in their stores already.

pixiewytch, i think the majority of the blue silk palm dresses were sold out online even before february 5.
