Re: Update! Marimekko Target is up to order!!!

@Chi-town girl, thanks for the news flash!!! I put the two tops in my cart and then saw a bit that said they were available at the store a couple of miles from me, so going to mosey on down there when they open. Can't wait to see the rest of the very happy collection!

UPDATE: wow! I'm glad I went to the store instead of ordering online! At Q I am usually XXS or XS, was going to order the tops online in a Medium. Went to the Target store and got the Large. Lol! Just glad I avoided the returns. Love the black/white top, the blue wave one wasn't in my store.

Thanks for posting this. I ordered two kaftans! Loved the bright, bold prints.

This is the least impressive of the designer marketing events, IMO. But, then again, I have paid very little attention to any of them and have not been motivated to buy any products at all. All the drama does seem to cause a shopping frenzy & that seems to be the goal...

Oh oh..I ordered a medium..can usually wear a s or xs...hopefully this will fit. I used the sizing guide~

@emmysmom, when I placed my order online I used the sizing guide, too, certain that they would fit. When I saw them in real time, I would have had to squeeze into the M, although it should have fit according to the guide. I'm  big on top, but not bigger than the M sizing online, I think this brand runs small. Wishing you luck!

Did you see the Kukkatori print kaftan dress (blue and green colors).  I thought it would be so fun for entertaining this summer.  I'm a little nervous about your sizing description though.  If you needed a medium, I might need a plus size for enough ease across the bust (which I didn't notice when looking online).

@islandgrrl, I'm not sure about the name of the "dress" or maybe it was a "tunic" that I looked at in the store. Colorful and cute, $25.99. I would have def taken a Medium in that one. What else is new? Sizing all over the place, lol!

 

ETA: This was the one that would have fit in the M: (a dollar less in store):

Re: Update! Marimekko Target is up to order!!!

@MaggieMack - glad you posted about sizing.

 

The rash guard shirts do run small. I also bought a large, typical b&m size for me is sm or med.

 

The tunic top & dress are cotton,  cut larger, so I don't think sizing up is required. My store had the b&w rash guard top, the b&w tunic & the floral dress that @islandgrrl is considering. 

 

My store also had the two different print scarves, the swimsuits, lots of the little girl's apparel. The beach totes are really nice for $20. Beautiful prints, strong canvas,  very large to hold multiple towels/beach stuff or would make a great grocery/farmers market bag.
