oh sad. that's how my legs are. Like me, she probably was born with flat feet -which really messes up the bone structure of your legs.

I live in Minneapolis, which is Target HQ, and have been able to try on the samples of these pieces at a little secret thrift shop where Target donates their ad samples after the photo shoots. Here's what you need to know: the skirts are very high-waisted and very small. I wear a 4/6, and had to buy the black full skirt in a 9. (The samples are marked with sizes.) The brocade fabric is surprisingly good quality, as is the hardware/zippers. The full skirts are MUCH fuller than they appear on the model here, and REALLY stick out from the body…The brocade dress is going to sell out first, because the quality is the best and the dress is pretty wearable, although it has an exposed zipper that runs directly across one breast–like a Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction waiting to happen! The silk dress with the flutter sleeve and hem is REALLY thin and clingy–basically little more than a slip–don't go there unless you have the body for it. The graffiti t-shirt with the black sleeves is gaudy in person–embellished and very Junior. The snap-tape dress is really cool, but quite low-cut for a day dress. The chambray shorts and dress are totally forgettable. The pink button down blouse is cute if you're 14. Best bets: lipstick “Zac” tank, brocade dress, yellow jacket, black full skirt, leather jacket, and the long dress if that kind of print is your thing.

Hi. I love this Zac Posen Collection. The pieces are bright, colorful, flirty, vivacious,bold but classy. AND they actually look comfortable as well which is unusual for a designer collection. Since I've been out of work for a while and can't seem to remember what it feels like anymore to have a few bucks in my pocket, I haven't been in a position for any splurges of late, But if I could, a piece from this collection would rank highest on my list. It's nice that designers are beginning to realize that they add a HUGE client base when they make clothes not only for the rich and famous, but for the average middle class consumer. Even we, the middle class, should have the opportunity to make a designer purchase, look and feel FABULOUS without having to file for Chapter 11 shortly thereafter. Thank you Mr. Posen for understanding these concepts and for giving the female population from all socio- economic backgrounds the chance to own and wear one of your gorgeous outfits, feeling like Queen for the day!!!!!

I think it's great that designers are doing fun work like this for Target. The real challenge to designers in this day and age will be to dress big girls with as much fun and creativity as your size 2 muses. The industry has just started to allow itself to think about plus size women and their desire for real fashion. RL, CK, MK and others have dabbled. Who out there can look at a curvy body and make beautiful clothes for it without breaking the bank?

This one is brilliant minus the tuxedo! A printed pants suit would have been more in line with the tone and also another beautiful printed maxi-dress. I hate the marketing strategy. Why is the styling ALWAYS punk rock? Seek to address this Target otherwise great collection.

I like the two piece ruffle dresses and the ruffles are made of organza, I am just concerned about the material used for the rest of the dress? I hope it will not be cheap and unlined! I like that Target has tried to incorporate designers they have had quite a list of them. It is just too bad that most of the collaborations are ill fitting and made with cheap fabrics. I am still deciding if I will be purchasing these dresses InStyle Magazine has a pic of the ruffle dress (Navy/Black) and it looks good in the pic but will it look good on me? Does anyone know what sizes are covered in this collection?

not true, he includes up to size 14 in his Z Spoke line and will expand to size 16.

The only 2 things I want out of this “collection” is the tuxedo body suit and that blue snap dress. Even though I have a piece or 2 from most of these target collaborations, I always feel that they could be sooo much better. They should make fewer pieces (cough cough, rodarte) out of better materials. I also feel like they market these lines for angsty 15 year olds or something. I don't agree with the statements that this line looks so “Zac”. I see no resemblance to his signature line! All of these collaborations are starting to look the same. And yes, that safety pin shirt is god awful, as well as the suit pants.

The Target Go Collection for what it is there have been some great designers who have had the good sense and craftsmanship to mix their aesthetic with certain inexpensive fabrics without making the end product look cheap and a waste of your $50 or so dollars spent. Designers like the late Lee McQueen of Alexander McQueen, Jonathan Saundars and others accomplished walking the thin line between budget and taste. Unfortunately the line was too thin for the girls of Rodarte but Zac Posen was not such a disaster, not from the pictures anyway. Yes, there were some clothes that shouldn’t be worn by anyone over 17 and the one look model did not properly fit the clothes nor the style but most of the pieces didn’t scream “I got this at Target”, which I think is a minor accomplishment. There were some quintessential Zac pieces in there like the Polka Dot print dress and the splash of color throughout, perfect for rolling into spring. All in all the clothes photograph well but how will they fit and what is the material, two factors that determine success. I wonder how will he do….

I'm always iffy about these collections. They look so great in the lookbook and on the site but they tend to be a little…blah in person.I do want almost all of these dresses though.

I honestly think they have the model (who i know of)'s toes turned in in every shot because her legs arn't actually straight when she has her feet straight. it's super odd. like this: http://i988.photobucket.com/albums/af5/PFWD5/elsao.jpg and this: http://i43.tinypic.com/m7fdx2.jpg
