I only ordered items that were not in store (Mother, Theory, Vince, St. John) and often times the sizing was off or the quality was lacking, so I ended up returning to my local
NR. In April 2018 I received an email stating I had been banned for excessive returns. I called CS and they said it was final and there was no appeals process. They still encouraged me to shop in store though, but I boycotted NR for several years. Then my mom wanted me to order something for her so I used a different email address and created a new account.

I don’t know if they continue to ban accounts now, and this pertains to NR only, and only online ordering. I don’t think they can ban you from shopping instore... unless you’ve been convicted of shoplifting from the store.

That sounds really unfair. I pretty much only shop online and sizing and quality are often an issue that also cause me to return things. Especially during this sale there have been so many quality issues with what I've bought. It has been pretty obvious to me that some of the anniversary sale items are of lower quality or weird fit compared to similar items that aren't on sale.

I think there is an expectation of returns during the sale. Maybe because of designer items it became an issue for them and having to sent it to areas that do. Not justifying or saying its right or wrong....

I got my Zadig & Voltaire star sweater today. The package was ripped open and part of the sweater was exposed and is now fuzzy in that area. I think if I use a fabric shaver it should be okay, and it isn't that noticeable. Still a little disappointed. This and the Barefoot Dreams pet bed were the last things I was waiting on. I'll be returning about 10 things in store tomorrow. Here is a picture of the sweater, excuse the dirty mirror. I'm at my parent's where I have my packages sent. I'm also wearing the Sweaty Betty high shine leggings from the sale. Bonus pic of my dog on her new bed!

So I finally got the other sizes I ordered in the silk pants and am still somewhat unsure if I want to keep them. I originally ordered size 14 and they were way too big. I ordered both 12 and 10 this time and I honestly feel like the 10’s fit best looks wise on me the 12’s were still too baggy. I am short and stumpy looking in wide leg pants so I like a more fitted look. My biggest hold ups on them are they still need to be hemmed because they are way too long on me. They have a elastic waist band which is not sewn into the waist so just trying them on/off caused it to roll up. I somewhat think at this price point this feels cheep quality wise. I also fear that they will just look like pajama pants on me. Should I give them a try or let them go?

Remember I posted about the beige cardigan that came with a black spot? I decided to return and try ordering again. Arrived today reeking of perfume with an orange stain. Sigh.

That cardigan never should’ve made it back into inventory. Makes you wonder if they even inspect the merchandise.

I haven’t seen these in person but based on the reviews and your comment about the elastic waist, they sound like a return. The palazzo/wide leg pant is somewhat trendy and you may be able to snag them on deeper discount in the fall. I guess I’m biased bc my MIL scored a pair of silk pants at NM last call for $20.

Thank you for posting this earlier. I bought the black ones on the first day of the sale and was going back and forth if I also needed them in this color. I decided to order them to see them in person and WOW they are so great IRL. So yes, now I have the same style now in 2 different colors and know I will use them both!

The rolling waist is enough to return them let alone the other issues you have listed. Is does not sound as though you will feel great in these so I would say return. When we all buy new things we should be dying for a reason to wear them, be excited and feel good in them.

Last night I was out for dinner in a friends house and I wore a blouse I bought two years ago. I got so many compliments. It was expensive at the time but I love it. Do you think you will reach for those pants in two years and be excited going out?

When trying new styles or shapes it can be daunting. It’s hard to look at ourselves in different ways. So when I want to branch out I find it helps to go into a store so you can try different versions of a look to determine if you like it. Also that is a good time to get an appointment so someone can help you navigate a fresh look. We do not all suit every style and that’s okay. You deserve to feel good in your clothes...

Love the sweater on you! Shipping has definitely been a disappointment this year. My first order was a big box with several items and the tape had come completely off the top so the contents were spilling out. Luckily everything was there and undamaged but it was pretty shocking how poorly it was packaged!

Looks like the BFD bed might just be a hit! ;)
I love how there are so many dog owners in this group. It makes me so happy seeing all the pics of the fur babies!

Anyone ordered or bought Open Edit midi skirt with the side slit? Mine got canceled and not sure if I want to order again and try my luck. I’m 5’2” and don’t want it to be a maxi skirt on me. The matching top is definitely going back.

I didn't order this skirt but I'm on the shorter side too (5'4") and a similar one with less of a slit worked as a midi for me. It's the Caslon ribbed sweater skirt. I also got the matching hoodie and they couldn't be softer or more cozy. Zero itchiness. Love the diagonal ribbing on the hoodie too. Thank you to whoever posted about this many pages back because I ordered based on your post and ending up loving these!
