purchased in black and now navy blue.... This vest is perfect and a must have! 10+++
Very soft and lovely fabric
shocked the XL was to big. Large was perfect and have already worn it on coolish mornings. High quality and love the little shirt tail back on vest....also, the zipper is black/black vest so does not fight with gold/silver tone jewelry. PERFECTO!!!! 10+++
I have been coveting this top and the matching On The Move skirt since they were first introduced. Even so, I had no idea how good they would look when I actually wore them--even better than I can imagine. I'm over 50 and more matronly than svelte, and I look FABULOUS in this. The top hangs far enough over my hips to disguise lumpiness, and subtly echoes the flare of the columnar gored skirt. If you can, do stop in at the designer outlet so you can meet Stella (who is just delightful) and see just how good you'll look before buying.
Store owner replied: Wow Sallie, That is quite an endorsement! It excites our design team to no end to hear that our designs can make such a difference in how you look and feel. Our intention and design philosophy has alway been to empower women through clothing. We are so happy that you discovered us and hope enjoy your purchas for years to come. Sincerely, Stella & Team
I found this at the designer outlet in an irresistible royal blue. It's darker than what I usually think of as "royal blue," with a hint in it of royal purple. The tucks are gorgeous (as I would expect after purchasing other SC products with pintucks), the shape accentuates my own, and the color is magnetic. Plus, it was on sale!
Store owner replied: Hi Sallie, Your review truly touched my heart- thank you. Every garment I design begins with the hope that it will make someone feel beautiful, comfortable, and completely themselves. Knowing that the color, the pintucks, and the silhouette all spoke to you is the greatest compliment I could receive. I'm so happy this piece found you, and even happier that you found it at the Designer Outlet. May you wear it with joy for many years to come. Stella & Team
Not sure how I failed to note this amazing color on the website, but I couldn't resist when I went into the designer outlet yesterday. It's amazing with my crimson hair and pale, sallow skin. The back and the lower part of the sleeves are a jersey knit which is soft for sitting in and made to be crush-proof. And yes, there are pockets! I'll see when I can get someone to take photos of my haul, and upload them.
I absolutely love it. It fits great. As I am a large woman. The only complaint is that it was quite expensive. I would love to purchase more but I am retired and am on a budget. Else I love the coats that I have purchased .
Store owner replied: Cynthia, Thank you for your kind words! We are so happy to know that you had a wonderful shopping experience with Stella Carakasi. Be assured that our clothing is an investment and the quality craftsmanship and attention to detail and classic design will last you for years to come. Best regards, Stella & Team
This coat is stylish, not too heavy and was the perfect layer to bring on my recent European cruise. I am very happy with my purchase!
Store owner replied: Thank you so much for your lovely review! It brings me so much joy to know this coat accompanied you on your European cruise. I designed it to be that perfect balance of style, comfort, and practicality, and, light enough for travel while still adding a polished finishing touch. Knowing it earned a place in your suitcase and on your journey is one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Wishing you many more adventures with it! Bon Voyage! Stella & Team

I now own the Crossroads Tunic in two colors. It's comfortable and easy to wear. I love the stripes going different directions and uneven hem. And pockets!

A lot of technical work goes into our designs, and this piece is a great example. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. It really does thrill our design team :) Best, Stella & Team
Very flattering fit. True to size. I had sized down because I thought it would run big, but it runs true to size. This is a beautiful shirt

I love the sweater. It is a nice weight and the medium fit works well. I the sleeves are a little long but I folded them up so it now has cuffs. Problem solved.
Store owner replied: Hi Joyce, We are thrilled that you are happy with your purchase. the Go-To-Cardigan has been a best seller for many seasons. The easy fit and slightly shaped silhouette is a refreshing take on the typical cardigan. Thank you so much for leaving a review. Best regards, Stella & Team
Terrific quality and comfort! I’ve bought a few things now and they all wash well and come out looking great. The style is interesting and a cut above the ordinary.
Store owner replied: Hi Janet, Thank you for the kind words. It's alway nice to hear that our hard work and attention to detail is appreciated. It's what keeps us going :) Sincerely. Stella & Team
My shopping experience with Stella Carakasi was easy , the quality of the merchandise was really nice as was the fit and the service was prompt. There were quite a few items I liked on the website that I feel sure would have been great purchases but I just didn’t need them to enhance the things I wear. But I will certainly shop with SC again if I am looking for clothing!
Store owner replied: Hi Dianne, We are so happy that you had a positive shopping experience. We love what we do and feedback like this is what fuels our passion. Thank you! Stella& Team
Hey there. I love all my Stella stuff. But am just basically camera shy. So, sorry, there isn't going to be video or photos. But I"m so happy that this line exists, and that the tunics are made from quality fabrics, have pockets, and are styled for us curvy ladies.
Store owner replied: Hi Mary, Thank you so much for letting us know we are on the right track! We work hard to design quality product that transforms the way our customers feel. We strive to exceed expectations and love getting feedback that we are making a difference. Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. Sincerely, Stella & Team
a beautiful addition to my wardrobe
Store owner replied: Hi Toni, A short & sweet review that speaks volumes! Our designers are thrilled to know their work is appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. Best regards, Stella & Team
The On the Go Vest is so cute and practical. I ordered the size medium and it is slightly full but I am going to keep it as I will use it for layering too. I chose the stone color and it is a great neutral. I think I could have worn the small.
Store owner replied: Hi Dianne, The On The Go Vest has been quite a success. It's the perfect balance of style and function. Dressed up or down it's one of those throw on and go styles that our ladies have come to love. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It really helps our customers in their in their purchasing decisions. Best regards, Stella & Team
The Cover Shot Coat is beautiful ! I love the design and the flare at the bottom. The texture and grey/black color way really complement each other without being too diverse. I ordered the large as the medium was not available and the coat was on sale. I had been looking to purchase a coat like this and took a chance realizing I could not return it. It is a little roomy but I haven’t tried it on over other items of clothing . If I still find it roomy , I will have it altered because it is so pretty on and exactly what I wanted. I could have worn a medium. FYI
Store owner replied: Hi Dianne, The Cover Shot Coat is such a special piece. We are so happy that you were able to make the size large work for you. It was a limited edition style with a lot of design that you really appreciate once you put it on. It's a coat that has the luxury feel of a fine sweater, and the lace details really make a wonderful and subtle statement. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It always makes us smile to know our customers appreciate what we do! Sincerely, Stella & Team
I love this shirt! It is a classic yet unique fit. I feel polished with any pair of pants that accompanies it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Store owner replied: Hi Jennifer, We love hearing this! Our tunics and tops each have a their own special details that really set them apart from other shirts in the market, and the sustainable organic cotton poplin is soft to the touch but still hold their shape. We work hard developing fabrics that are sustainable and comfortable and designs that are functional and versatile. Thank you for the kind review. Sincerely, Stella & Team
Love it, glad i got the cream colored one too. How often do you find a sweater top that is roomy, but not baggy? Enough detail to fit and flatter the figure. Length was great! Im 5’8”, about 180 lb, and probably could have gone with an M, but the L is super comfortable so no complaints.
Very happy with the sweater. It flows as you move.
Store owner replied: Hi Margaret, the Go-To Cardigan is a wonderful piece. You're right! It has such wonderful movement and creates a beautiful silhouette that gives you both shape and comfort. We are thrilled that you are happy with your purchase. Our designers work hard to make styles that make our ladies feel confident and beautiful and kind reviews are our just reward. Thank you! Sincerely, Stella & Team
Love the style!
I just received my new jacket and am planning on wearing it in Paris next week! Cannot wait. The fit is wonderful. I followed the website’s suggestion for size and ordered a little smaller than usual. It is fitted but looks great. I can wear it with a cashmere sweater.
Store owner replied: Hi Sara, We hope you have a wonderful trip. The Definitive Coat will fit right in with your Paris vacation. It's stylish, comfortable and and has such a beautiful shape without being bulky. Bon voyage! Best regards, Stella & team
Love the style but the fabric was a little rough for my taste.
Store owner replied: Hi Barbara, The mixed stitch knit design and blended yarns on the Go-To Cardigan are designed to hold its shape and still have movement and flow. We are confident that this will become a closet favorite and that perfect grab and go piece that elevates your look- whether you dress it up or down, you'll look polished and on point no matter where the day takes you. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Feedback only makes us better. Sincerely, Stella & Team
