Is the hoodie the only thing that comes in the snow leopard?

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.

 

[ChrissyM]

eek.. i don't know...
the quality is not awful imo...
but it's not fantastic...

it's not a bad dress... just depends on how much you're willing to pay for it

Thanks

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...

 

[jun3machina]

too bad the sweater is a wee bit too small.
i really wanna check out that dress too^^
i still want to pick up the dress and the leopard coat. i think im going to return the blue dress though...

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.

would you say the leopard dress ran pretty small? do you normally wear M or size 6-7? thanks!

 

[kimair]

thanks lucy...
that dress looks like a bathrobe... and very not-rodarte...

 

[Scott]

^agreed!

and what about that ratty furry bolero? egads i can take the material off old teddy bears and make that top.

i do however like that sheer top on left vignette with the printed sleeves.

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

even after seeing it in person, I thought it *was* a bathrobe, until I read these posts.

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