Thanks for all the pictures, ChrissyM. Do you mind sharing what you thought of the peachy/blush coloured bow dress since you didn't buy it? It's the one thing I really, really want, and I don't live in the US so it'll be the Ebay prices I'm looking at. Just wanted to know if it's worth it? 
there is a sequin dress w/allover sequins in snow leopard...

i liked the peachy/blush colored dress...
i just chose to go with the blk version because i thought it was something i would get more wear out of...
it definitely has a lingerie/ballerina/tutu feel...
not necessarily in a bad way...
i had to edit somewhere... wasn't going to let myself come away with the entire collection
i wouldn't overpay for it if i were you...
i don't think it's an extraordinary dress or anything, but it does have a fun and romantic feel to it
LOL, I don't want to overpay either if I can avoid it but the prices start like $10+ the retail price on Ebay and this is before the collection has been released. I just really, really like the romantic feel of the dress, and I really want it. I guess, I just wanted to know if the quality was very inferior. $40-ish (?) isn't expensive for a dress like that unless the quality is worse than say H&M because lots of H&M dresses are priced at that price point. And it's just unevitable that I'll have to pay at least $20-ish just for shipping alone anyway.

thanks chrissy, might have to check out that dress...
the grey cardigan was a bit too tight in the sleeves, so i'm going to get the medium...
i heard on twitter that there is a embroidered vintage style wrap dress...anyone seen that?
ugh, it totally bugs that there isn't a comprehensive lookbook (or pics on target.com) with everything in it and prices...

the black bow dress is a M and the blue dress a 7. but the 7 in the leopard didn't fit me and i had to go for the 9.thanks for the pics! if you don't mind me asking, what sizes were you wearing in the black bow shoulder tulle dress and the baby blue swiss dot dress?
would you say the leopard dress ran pretty small? do you normally wear M or size 6-7? thanks!

I didn't end up going to the pop-up store in DC because I later found out none of the items I really wanted were going to be there. Instead, I had been calling all the Targets in my area on a daily basis to see if it was available earlier.
I went to the Target in Seven Corners in VA today. It's the only store that has the items out already. The other places I called said either Sunday or Monday. The items were placed there overnight and an employee told me that it's selling quickly. I got there at 9pm and there was one belt left, two pairs of tights, and only 1 hoodie (in XL). I grabbed the belt and both pairs of tights! I don't really care for the belt, but I think it'll make a nice Christmas gift.
Unfortunately, I didn't see the leopard coat or grey cardigan (I really want both!). The lace cardigans were available in mustard, cream and black, but there were only sizes XS, L and XL left. The large was loose, but I got it in black anyways. I'm still going to try to get the mustard cardigan in medium.
Bought the leopard dress in 3 sizes. Got the 9 for me, and bought both the 5 and 7 for my best friend to try on. The leopard dress really does run small. The 7 was sooo tight on me. I had difficulties taking it off!
Also got the black bow dress in medium.
I guess I had really high expectations for this collection, and I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. I really didn't care for the skirts, the rain coat, or the kimono-style dress.
Here are pics (taken by me

^^ vanity fair compares the pieces side-by-side with their 'originals'... meh. still not making sense to me.
