ModCloth Stylish Surprise Box Review – Fall 2015

I’ll have to be sure to be on the lookout for this box. I absolutely adore those shoes!

I have the exact same problem with shoes. Even the same size LOL I just love those Machi shoes! I wonder if they still sell them… Are the surprise boxes discontinued items?

I was very excited when I got my box. The shoes are must haves. The dresses, however, didn’t fit my body type. I have just started a blog and my 1st “how to” project was to customize one of the dresses. I added length, sleeves, a collar and a belt. I love it now! I am turning the other one into an apron dress. I can’t wait to wear it while cooking during my Christmas party. When life gives you lemons…

I ordered 2 pairs of shoes, 2 apparel items, and 2 dresses. I like the cut of the one dress, but not the pattern. I did not like the material of the other dress. The shoes are OK. The apparel items did not work out. Feel free to click on my name to see pictures.

Do they ship to canada?

i ordered a dress and apparel. The dress is absolutely lovely, fits like a dream and is very well made the only problem is it is a homecoming (prom?) dress and I am 27 years old but 10 years ago I would have worn it in a heartbeat. I was thinking about trying to pull it off for my cousin’s wedding in April but last week she asked me to be a bridesmaid so I may try to swap or sell it. The other item that I received is a lovely mustard yellow long sleeve button down blouse. Also fits nicely however with 3 buttons undone is a a bit risqué but with 2 it is too tight, it looks nice with a camisole underneath though. Over all I’m very pleased with both items, I can’t really wear the dress but that is not mod cloth’s fault.

I bought 2 dresses and 3 apparels. So I receive 3 cheap blouses ( really you don’t buy this kind of blouse for more than $ 10.00), 1 junior dress ( maybe you can find for $ 20.00) but the last dress save my box. I saw one similar ( different color) for $179.00 on the website. My dress is like a short wedding dress with gold tones and on the website is like a cream color. Really a gorgeous dress, look like a princess dress. This is the risk of buying this, when I bought this for the first time I really loved everything what I order, for the second time I hated everything, and for now is love and hate feelings :). But that’s ok. Let’s see the next Stylish surprise reserves to me…

My first time ordering. I got two horrific “dresses” that I’ve never seen on the Modcloth website. One was a heavy knit, short sleeve dress that came to the middle of my thighs, and the other looked like a bathing suit cover up I’d buy at Ross for $9.99. I ordered a size larger than usual so both fit slightly loosely, but they will never be worn by me. I would have died and gone to heaven if I’d received those gnome shoes.

I was super sad because I ordered 2 pairs of shoes and they cancelled my order. Maybe next time.

I liked some of what I got, and disliked other things. When I called I got such horrible customer service I don’t think I’ll ever shop with them again, stylish surprise or otherwise. I was looking through their site at what I liked and really, a lot of their cute details mimic things I already have in my closet because of stylish surprise items. I think I will survive without adding more. Well, without adding more that isn’t from the swap site 🙂

I got high heels where the heel part is a lawn gnome. You are all very lucky you didn’t get those. What a treat.

LOVE those Machi Heels 🙂 and my size too 😉 lol I didn’t make it in time to order shoes, I got two dressed (first stylish surprise for me so didn’t want to go over board) still waiting for my box. So excited!

I was very pleased with what I got. The shoes are all varied and fit and are styles that easily fit into my wardrobe. I got two dresses: one is beautiful and fits very well, the second is a cute dress of good value, but looks odd on me. I’m considering having the hem on the second dress brought up to something more fitting my body. I got two tops as well: one is very plain but very much my style, the second is super snug and nearly a midriff. I found pictures online of the second top that show it paired with skirts in a way I might attempt, but my boobs spill out of the top. I’d need to wear a cami, but it’s so snug, I’m not sure that I can.

For the shoes, dress and top that I do like and will wear easily, I am VERY pleased with the value.

Liz, a tailor/seamstress can easily take in the waist for you. It shouldn’t be expensive either. Or a friend who sews!
This was my second time ordering from Stylish Surprise, I ordered one dress each time and was very happy-dresses fit me perfectly and are very cute. One was a cream lace dress, the other a peach top/navy bottom with tons of tiny buttons.
I think the dresses are the best item imho, don’t like the shoes/tops nearly as much.

i loved half of my SS but I was kind of disappointed when I found the sandals I received on the modcloth site were on sale for $7.99 and the top I got was on sale for $11.99.. Both cheaper than what i paid! I know it’s a risk doing SS tho.

I’ll never buy these again. I ordered a top and they were sold out of my size so I got a 3x thinking it’d be way too big and I’d probably just layer it under a sweater, whatever… NO. I wear a 1X and the top that came was labeled as a 3x and was SO SMALL I couldn’t fit my boobs in to it. My neighbor is a size Large and it fit her pretty snug. Like, WHAT? When I called customer service they pretty much told me it was my fault it didn’t fit and didn’t own up to sending a brand that was known for running really, really small. Because I was a new customer they gave me a $15 credit. Ripped off. Never again!

Liz, I was waiting for your review on this one. I agree with your 3 out of 4.
The dress I received was a “pull over” your head dress.Unfortunately, I couldn’t pull it over my boobs. My dress was not true to size, unless it was a Junior or Missy size. I received 3 pairs of summer shoes and 1 pair of flats. I live in Ohio, so I will have to wait to wear the summer shoes.
I think that the Spring sale will bring great fall items, so I will order again. The reviews that I have seen, for the spring sale, appears to have items that are more my style.

I also wear different sizes depending on the heel/shoe configuration. When wearing some flats I am an 8, heels 8.5, and if I wear socks and boots I am a 9. It’s horribly difficult to pick out shoes online! Even worse since I have to wear orthotics! I love to wear Orthaheel/Vionic brand shoes since they have the orthotic built in but they aren’t always sized the same and I usually have to return most everything at least once. LOL!!!

I love ModCloth and will buy stuff from them in the future but I will never do a clothing/shoe stylish surprise again. Since I love their stuff (especially their shoes) I figured I couldn’t go wrong. I usually have to size up and for shoes I am either an 8.5 or a 9 (depends on width if shoe or heel height).
I ordered 5 apparels, 2 shoes and 1 dress. 1 top was 4 sizes too small (customer service says they’ll refund). 2 were cute but way too big. 1 is not my style and a little small. Argh… And 1 was a style I have wanted but in mustard yellow (just not a good look with my skin tone). The dress was too small but I don’t think I’ll ever wear it anyways. The shoes. Not my style. So someone at Goodwill is going to get some new clothes and shoes.
Oh well, now I know.
I would have been happy with those shoes you got Liz. Que Sera Sera….

Yay! I ordered all 8.5 and got 4 pairs of shoes, one of which is the same Machi you got! Twins! I love how cute they are but I have no idea how I’m going to wear them lol. I also got a Chinese laundry, cl by Chinese laundry and bamboo pair! Pretty good haul for me 😀 $43 with tax and dour pairs of really cute shoes in my size! I only put one pair, the Chinese laundry, up for swap because no matter how gorgeous they are ankle straps on me look awful :'(

I love that maxi and the sandals!! I tried it last time, and all three items I got were huge flops, so I passed this time. You’re making me regret it though!

Two of the things I love about Liz the most:
1. Your use of the washer/dryer to attempt to refit any piece of clothing that isn’t quite right. It’s not only industrious, but, it’s an inexpensive alternative as well.
2. Your love of all things Maxi (dresses). And, you’re never afraid to admit it! How many do you think you have in total? Be honest!

*If you don’t want to send the 2nd pair of shoes back, I would love to buy them from you. I think I’m on swap wait list.

Wow, it’s like they picked the dress just for you! Congrats!

And the shoes for you and your… twin?! LOL

I was a little disappointed. I ordered las time also. I received 2 dresses and 2 tops. This time I received 1 in each box. The dress was beautiful. It was an emerald green lace dress. I will wear it for Christmas. The top not so much. It was a thin white high /low t-shirt. It had a red stripe across each shoulder. I would never buy this top.
