Just curious if they are worth the money? Are the sizing charts pretty accurate? Do they shrink or fade a lot? DO they last through lots of wear and tear? Thanks a bunch! :)

I only bought a few items from them, and was pretty underwhelmed. I bought a skirt that I loved, and wore constantly until it got too cold. I bought a knit top that I sent back because it was waaaaay to small, flimsy, and didn't seem to be well-constructed. And I bought another knit top that was fine quality-wise, but smaller than I was expecting, and I ended up not being able to wear it very long. For the price, I was very, very unimpressed, and I think I got all 3 items on sale.

My experience was very similar to PP. I ordered two things that were on sale and followed their size charts to a T. Both items were too small and I had to send back. Plus, a lot of their maternity items are marked non-returnable in this tiny icon on the side. So be sure you want something if you order it :) I found I liked Japanese Weekend and Gap items much more and they had better return policies.

Personally, I don't think so. I have a few tees, a pair of jeans, and a shirt from Babystyle and only wore the jeans three times, the tees ended up with holes and stretched out after only 5 or 6 washings, and the only piece I have that is still in decent shape is the peasant top I have. The sizes run very small. Their XL is more like a large.
