my target had everything except the floral shorts and some shirts. i freaking loved the blue-and-white dress, but am holiday-poor so i just hope they stick around in stores or on the website until i can scrounge up enough pennies to make that happen!
nadarine: i'm typically a M in dresses (sized in that manner) and wore a M OR a S in this dress. the only thing that was tight-ish on me in the S was the sleeves. try the M unless you're worried about your arms being too tight. the sash/belt makes it easy to adjust the waist to your liking.

To Nadarine--
I'm in the same boat you are...not sure if I'm a M or L...I've bought most of the dresses and should get them early next week, so I'll post here how they fit.

i went to three targets in houston and finally located one that had put it out already. i'm kind of disappointed though since thakoon is one of my very favorite designers and i only liked a handful of things. unfortunately, i liked even fewer once i tried them on. however i did walk away with the navy cardigan, the floral button up top, and the gray and black shirtdress(which i absoulutely adore as its one of the few things that just screams thakoon).

I thought the collection looked horrid, save for a piece or two.

i liked a good amount of the collection and ended up walking out with 5 pieces. for those of you wondering about the S, M, L sizing, i am typically a S but the XS fit better in this dress: http://www.target.com/Thakoon-Target-Shibori-Woven-Dress/dp/B001K3886O/qid=1230497539/ref=br_1_5/175-3722414-3390369?ie=UTF8&node=1252112011&frombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=1252112011&rank=pmrank&rh=&page=1
and i am typically a 3 but ended up needing a 1 in this skirt b/c i like to wear it high: http://www.target.com/Thakoon-Target-Shibori-Print-Skirt/dp/B001K4HB5C/qid=1230497539/ref=br_1_6/175-3722414-3390369?ie=UTF8&node=1252112011&frombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=1252112011&rank=pmrank&rh=&page=1
also, most everything i tried on was made well and had nice materials. one of my favorite GO designers yet.

I am on vacation in Phoenix, and I went to the Target in Christown and they had a wide selection. I have to admit I was very disappointed by the fabrics, they felt and looked really cheap. Also the sizing was quite large. I tried on the floral sleeveless dress and it was enormous -even in an XS and the material felt terrible, same with the short sleeve dress with the tie belt in the black and white. I did end up with a black and white pattern cardigan for $32.99. Again another collection that's good in theory but just doesn't deliver.

I agree that the fit is quite large. I usually wear a medium and I easily fit into the xs of the floral button up shirt. However,be warned- The bathing suits fit horribly and actually run small. I am a D cup and the xl bikini top was still way too small. Also the bikini bottoms are quite tiny and leave a lot of butt hanging out the back!

dianajw: Not to be completely creepy, but I think I saw you at Target this morning! Did you see an asian girl in a trench coat, black skirt, and leather Frye boots?
On a more relevant note, I agree that everything was sized too large. I ended up buying a dressy short sleeved button-up shirt, and two dressed--one floral, and one green. I rather like the shape of the waist tie dresses.

I'm annoyed at the S-M-L sizing for some of the dresses: the GO collections are notoriously juniors-sized, so figuring out whether that means I need a M or L in the striped dress is just a leap of faith. Anyone tried these on for a fit comparison?
