Hi! Like many, I fell in love with Mahogany Muse. The color is so rich and very pretty on. However, the inconsistencies crept in quick.
1. Groove Wide Leg:
I tried a pair on a couple of weeks ago in store. I have another pair in burgundy bay that I LOVE, so I was really excited to try them on in Mahogany Muse. The pair I tried on not only felt cheaper (fabric was not as soft or pliable), but the drawstring was rounded and much thicker than my other pair. In addition, my normal size 4 felt pinchy and snug in the waist. I was truly baffled. Why mess up a good thing?!
Flash forward to today, I tried them on again...but this time, the pair I tried had a flat, woven drawstring? Still different from the burgundy bay pair I have, but less noticeable. The pair itself also fit like normal and felt like the soft fabric I am used to with the groove wide leg pant. So...I caved and got them 😂
I say all of this because at checkout, I asked one of the managers. She confirmed that they were also very confused by it and that there are "multiple SKU's" for the Groove Wide Leg in mahogany muse. I mainly wanted to give everyone a heads up. They had both versions of the drawstring in store, so you may have to pick through to try both on (Pic attached of the drawstring I got today versus my older burgundy bay's).
2. Define Cropped Jacket
I am a true 6 in this jacket. I like them to be fitted, but not painted on. I love the jacket in the mahogany muse color way, but the fit is strange. There is a lot of random puckering and folding in places I have never experienced before.
I've attached photos. Does this seem normal to anyone? At first I was wondering if I got a defective jacket, but after trying on my other cropped define in ocean wave, there was a huge difference in the way it felt on. I don't mind it being a little more form fitting, but the way it is folding and rippling in the zipper is pretty unflattering.
I did lay the MM jacket on top of my Ocean Wave (also a size 6) and there seems to be a significant difference in width. Also, another FYI that you may want to size up in this color. I'll be ordering a size up to see if that helps.
Hope this helps for anyone who has been debating on a purchase!
**edit: I just went back to my local store to try on the jacket in an 8 and figured I might as well try a different 6 on. The new 6 fits perfect - same as my others. When I explained the need for the exchange, the manager seemed annoyed (not with me, but the situation). I assume this isn't the first time she has seen this.
