The pictures look great. What you get, however, will bear little resemblance to the images on the site. Example: a sweater pictured online is clearly a knitted fair isle woolen, yet what I received is a woven patterned poly. However, for $11 with free shipping I'll happily wear this sweater running errands or picking apples without worrying about damaging an expensive handmade garment. I am glad I didn't buy any outerwear or shoes, since others have complained that what you get is NOT EVEN CLOSE to what is pictured. I almost ordered a pair of "birkenstocks" for $12, and now I'm glad I didn't. I am very glad that I only bought casual tops/tunics, gloves, and leggings. The leggings were serviceable, though not at all as pictured, while the knitted gloves were great so I have no complaints about those, especially for the dirt cheap prices. The tops/tunics, on the other hand, are extremely cheesy for the most part. They seem to be acceptably sewn (for incredibly cheap knockoffs) but the quality control is spotty. One is particularly egregious with the design down the front being off center and bizarrely placed. The sizing is all over the map with the sleeves generally being too long. I actually don't mind that, since most sleeves are too short for me because I have very broad shoulders. The fabric on all items is very thin and cheap, so I expect a lot of shrinkage once washed, which is good since all items (same size for all) run large to extremely huge. I make bespoke clothing for a living and I make all of my own "nice" clothes because I hate altering things. I can easily alter any garment if necessary, but most people can't. Every single one of these items is too wide or too long in the neckline, the body, the sleeves, and/or the hem/length. I think most people would find these items unwearable. I bought the Nora Cora items to wear around the house. I work at home so I'm home all day and I do a lot of messy stuff from gardening, woodworking, and sewing, to cooking, housework, and bottle-feeding orphaned foster kittens. My clothing takes a beating and I often go through several sets of clothes a day depending on which sloppy or downright filthy task has to be tackled. I went through my closet at the end of the year and tossed out the most disreputable, stained, ripped, frayed, and faded stuff I would be embarrassed to wear crossing the road to get the mail. I found myself in dire need of washable, comfy shirts and leggings I didn't care about ruining and these fit the bill. Nothing is scratchy and some of the fabric actually feels fairly soft and nice. I understand that you get what you pay for, but I can't justify spending a lot for clothes I will likely render unwearable in public the first time I put them on. I only buy ready made clothing if it's cheaper than what the materials would cost me to make it myself. What I refuse to accept, however, is being shipped something which looks NOTHING like the picture, even if it is really inexpensive. I don't bait and switch on my business website because it is fraudulent and I'm proud of the fact that when someone orders from me what they receive is EXACTLY what they saw pictured online. I got 14 tops, 11 pairs of leggings, and 3 pairs of gloves for $284, or about $10 each. I was shopping for messy-work-a-day stuff and that's what I got. Not a single thing could be worn to an office, even on casual Friday, even if altered. There are two light-weight tops I would be comfortable wearing to the grocery store over a pair of jeans, but that's it, aside from my new apple-picking fall sweater. Noracora can't seem to ship all the items at once. Three items were missing from the order and when I inquired about when/if they might ship, I was offered the option to either cancel or receive a 15% discount on those items if I waited for “future shipping”. From reading online reviews I realized that if I agreed to take the discount I would wait forever for the items to be shipped, since they apparently never make a subsequent shipment. Instead I chose to cancel the missing items and request a refund. There were some additional back and forth emails with them increasing the amount of discount, but each time I simply demanded a refund. It took about 10 business days, but I eventually got the full amount credited back to my card. Bottom line, I won't have to buy clothes for the next 5 years at least, but I will never buy from Noracora again.
