Has anyone bought from Poetry? Quality? Sizing?

[pocketandsweet]

That is it really... I quite like some of the linen tips and wonder what experience anyone might have had of them.

I have in the past. Everything has gone back; sizing, fit, quality all a bit odd. Maybe they are meant to be Boho Chic, but just seemed to be pricey rags to me. I think they are the same company as Wrap.

I wondered whether they might look great in the catalogue ( all strategically pinned at the back) and then be totally shapeless in rl.

It does look like an older person's version of Wrap. I've always thought it a little frumpy and goes straight for recycling.

The linen is thin and cheap and looks like dishrags, especially after washing. I've tried loads of it on, and it's all just really shapeless, plus it looks like it would snag really easily. Overpriced IMO.

oh nooooo... I got the Poetry catalogue today and there were a couple of items I was tempted by...

I wanted this tee-shirt based on the look of the first picture.

However, I think Pocket is right and it does look as if it is pinned at the back, which I would not have noticed if Pocket had not mentioned it.

They are the same as Wrap.
Vast majority of stuff I've ever tried from there has gone back. Fit wrong and quality not justifying price. Having said that, I do have two linen T shirts from them which I like and have worn well. But they are a tiny fraction of what I've ever tried hopefully ! Don't usually bother now.
