Received Barefoot Dreams Order

Mom2Dogs — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 17:17:30 GMT

sigh...it is to big. The color/pink is pretty. I own another sweater in this brand, it has a cascading front..it was my first purchase from this line. The sleeves were really tight but I kept it and can make it work.

This time I ordered up because I wanted the option of layering other than a sleeveless top....well that did not work, the sleeves are very generous!

I did hear the vendor mention that fact well after I ordered and my order was in process, but I thought how much bigger can it be....it's going back, and not sure I am going to go for another size.

This will be the third item I have sent back in a short time, it's just to expensive to order and then have the fit be off, and yes I NEVER ORDER with out checking the measurements.

So sorry it didn't work for you.

My other four are coming today by UPS. Already received the garnet/rosewood and love the color (I sized up and it fits perfectly for me), and am happy that you think the pink is pretty. I am looking forward to seeing the pink in particular.

Sounds like this brand may not be a good one for you. Have you tried Cuddl Duds? That was the brand I was using before Barefoot Dreams. They are soft too, just not as substantial material being used.

I've got the pink out for delivery today. Too bad yours doesn't fit @Mom2Dogs. Get it back and exchange it. I know mine will fit 'cause I already got the garnet.

@Mom2Dogs

Chose passing on this line. Reviews are all over the place! Seriously.

No matter what the item, consistency is greatly lacking. No thanks.

Speak with CS: explain you went by the garment measurements.

Bet you won't be charged return costs. Best of luck!

@Kachina624 and @World Traveler. You ladies must love this brand to order multiples. It is very soft. The shoulder seams also hung off my shoulders.

I own 2 cardis from barefoot dreams and love them.

This one I passed on. As mentioned, the shoulder seem was so low down the arm.

With my round shoulders, this would have not looked good in my opinion.

I debated that whole day about purchasing it. I sized down but decided against it..

I am sorry @Mom2Dogs, yours did not fit. Exchange for a smaller size.

I hope everyone loves theirs, I just knew it would not have flattered me at all.

With this line, I don’t think there’s inconsistency in the product as much as there’s inconsistencies in customer’s expectations.

@RollTide2008 Hmmmmm....that is an interesting thought. Could be right about that.

Re: Received Barefoot Dreams Order

Mom2Dogs — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 17:53:38 GMT

@RollTide2008, my expectations were that it would fit a tad better in the sleeve but the garmet is very big.......not what I expected.

received my garnet sweater today and wish i had ordered more. the garnet color is beautiful.

lucky for me there is a black left at the same tsv price.

ordering that today!

i ordered up as i always do in BD. this material does have a lot of stretch and is lighter in weight than other BD items, but very warm. yes, it does run bigger than the other material BD items. it was not THAT oversized though. more room in the arm area and a bit more room in the chest area, but not that oversized for me in the hip area. i probably could wear a large easily, but sticking with my normal size XL for BD was fine. it is such a comfortable and cozy item. will be able to layer underneath this easily.

@sunshine45 Thanks for your review. Always nice to hear from people who actually received the item, whether their review is good or bad. They are speaking from their own experience.

That garnet is gorgeous, isn't it? Great new color for the line. I'm eager for the other four to arrive today, particularly the pink. Hope I have as great an opinion of that color as the others have.

@Mom2Dogswas this the recent TSV that you ordered? If so, I passed on that one. I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

@World Traveler I was very happy to see the new garnet color!!

Now I need a garnet beanie

Re: Received Barefoot Dreams Order

World Traveler — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 19:04:09 GMT

@Mj12 Oh, that would be cool! A garnet beanie. YES!!! And then garnet gloves. Don't understand why they haven't done gloves, a natural add on. They have socks, so gloves are on my wish list for their next accessory.

Mom2Dogs — Tue, 18 Dec 2018 19:10:55 GMT

@Mj12 Yes, it was the TSV...it's going back.

One word that kept being repeated in the reviews overside (bathrobe) would have needed xxsmall in petite. Surprised petite wasn't offered. Glad I passed.

To be fair, this isn't QVC's fault or the designer's fault. You are the one who decided to go up a size and apparently you didn't hear the many, many suggestions to go down a size before you ordered. So, the one you got is probably two sizes too big. I'm careful when it comes to sizes, some clothing vendors do not use standard QVC sizing. I never buy when they say "size up" or "size down". To me, that just means there are fit issues and it's likely to be a return waiting to happen. There are "code words" in presentations, I've learned to recognize them.

@chrystaltree....IF I would have ordered the same size as the one I already have I would have been fine...BUT the sleeves are really tight, so going up one size should have not made that much of a difference.....not until my order was in process did I hear the vendor mention the sleeves....once in process = no changes. I did not listen to multiple presentations, who has time for that?

Well, that's why they have such a generous return policy. You might even be able to use the return option.
