Let’s not sugarcoat it – buying clothes post-partum sucks. Between adjusting to a new body and having zero time to think about fashion (hello, newborn chaos!), shopping feels impossible.
When a friend suggested I use one of those online personal styling services, I was just desperate enough to go for it. I mean, what could it hurt to give a styling service or two a try and just see if they took the stress out of post-partum shopping? After testing both Dailylook and Stitch Fix, here’s my honest breakdown of my experience as a new mom trying to get her style groove back.
If you want to have a personal stylist…Dailylook
When it came to finding my post-partum style, I didn’t even know where to begin. Dailylook’s style quiz was so detailed, asking me about fit, color, and even what parts of my body I wanted to highlight or downplay (because we all know that post-partum tummy can be tricky). Stitch Fix also has a style quiz, but I didn’t get that same “one-on-one” feel that I did with Dailylook.
Dailylook also assigned me a personal stylist. And yes, I mean an actual human. I could chat with them, and they adjusted my selections based on my feedback. It felt like shopping with a super fashionable friend who totally understood my new mom bod.
If you just want the convenience…Dailylook and Stitch Fix
With a new baby at home, I have no time to shop, especially for clothes. Both Dailylook and Stitch Fix take care of the browsing, delivery, and even returns for you—so you can try things on in the comfort of your (messy) living room. Honestly, both services are super convenient.
But Dailylook gets a slight edge. They offer free shipping and returns, just like Stitch Fix, but the game-changer? I could preview my box before it shipped! I could swap out pieces I knew wouldn’t work before they even left the warehouse. Plus, with unlimited access to my stylist, I could share my feedback before my next box arrived.
If you want a new closet full of options…Dailylook
Staring at a closet full of clothes that no longer fit or flatter my body is soul-crushing. I needed pieces that felt stylish and practical for my new lifestyle. Stitch Fix offered a decent mix, but I often got similar items box after box. It’s like they put me in the “mom jeans and tees” category.
Dailylook, on the other hand, blew me away with the variety. Each box had a mix of premium brands (think Good American and Kate Spade) plus some up-and-coming designers. They sent me everything from comfy yet stylish, mom-friendly tops to tailored pants I could wear to an actual adult event.
If you care about quality…Dailylook
As a mom, I need clothes that can withstand spit-ups, endless washing, and maybe even a tug-of-war with my toddler. Stitch Fix offered decent quality, but I felt like I was getting mid-range mall brands.
But I was impressed with the quality of Dailylook’s picks. The fabrics were softer, the fits more flattering, and I could tell these were pieces meant to last. Even after multiple wears and washes, everything held up beautifully.
If we talk about value…Dailylook and Stitch Fix
Okay, let’s talk money. Both Stitch Fix and Dailylook charge a styling fee: $20 for Stitch Fix and $40 for Dailylook (which applies to any items you keep). Stitch Fix's lower fee might sound appealing at first, but it doesn’t include unlimited access to stylists. Also, while Stitch Fix had a lower price point, I often returned more items because they didn’t hit the mark. With Dailylook, I kept way more pieces.
Final Verdict: Dailylook has me feeling confident and comfortable again
In the end, both services have their merits, but for a new mom trying to find her post-partum style, Dailylook won my heart. The level of personalization, quality, and variety they provided made me feel like they truly understood what I needed in my wardrobe. If you’re a busy mom struggling to find pieces that fit your new body and your new life, Dailylook is absolutely worth the try.
