Elizabeth & Clarke, who kindly sent me this box to review, is a quarterly subscription box which brings designer-quality blouses and tees to your door each season. Shirts are a mix of blouses, tees and work appropriate tops in neutral colors – while, black, off-white and grey.
Elizabeth & Clarke ships via USPS at the beginning of each season. The Spring Collection ships by March 1st, the Summer Collection ships by June 1st, the Fall Collection ships by September 1st and the Winter Collection ships by December 1st.
Elizabeth & Clarke packages all of their shirts in a plastic resealable bag and folds them with a piece of cardboard so they always arrive in absolutely perfect condition.
The Spring 2016 Elizabeth & Clarke box contained the following pieces:
~The Edwards: This is unlike any shirt I have ever received from E&C. Mainly because it’s so dressy. The neck and detail around it is very stiff, but in a good, this is going to stay put way. This shirt is very well-made and if I came across it at the store I would expect to see a $60-$70 price tag on it.
~The Catalina: It was hard to get a good picture, but this shirt is actually a very light almost mint green shade. The shirt looks amazing on the model, but it just didn’t fit me right. I think it was too short, too tight and just kind of awkward.
~The Holloway: My feelings are mixed on The Holloway. It’s 100% Crepe de Chine and feels well made but I’m not into the tie. I like that it’s not attached (although maybe I would like it better if it was sewn into the shirt) so I don’t have to use it.
I don’t know if it was just me, but this season’s Elizabeth & Clarke just felt different. Maybe just because of how form fitted the two tops were? I’m just not used to that with them. The quality was amazing though and for $60 I feel like this box was a steal!

I got the exact same pieces as you did and to be honest i am large busted and while i normally wear i 10 i had to return all three of these as they were simply too tight to be honest, to form fitting and from what i heard,, tey have had alot of issues with other clients saying the same thing regarding this about thsi box..to tight, to form fitting, just fits off. A Lot fo returns.. I Loved the styles but not the tightness when i am bit bustier..lol, but what can you say when the tops are incredible for the price.

Ps that catalina has a small zipper on the side its is just very hard to see.
I’m a pretty small lady and that Catalina shirt fit me terribly, it was the first time I had to return something from E&C!
I agree this was not a good box! I’ve been subscribing for a while, always wearing 2 and always perfect fit! The Edwards and the Catalina although are too snug and I even lost some weight!!!! I tried to exchange them for a bigger size, but they were out of stock…. Still waiting to see if they will be back….
I skipped this box and the upcoming one. Just based on the pictures, I know they’re not designed with my body type in mind. The last 3 boxes have been great…interesting designs and very versatile. This box…ugh…2 sleeveless shirts and something that looks like a scrubs shirt? No. Just no.
