SPRING 2020 BOX PARTNER

Spring is all about light layers, making the DONNI. Ribbed Sweater Coat a perfect addition to your wardrobe. It’s soft and comfortable, and the relaxed shape looks good on all shapes and sizes.

Ahead, we’re sharing six versatile ways to style your spring outerwear.

Experiment With Lengths

Play with different lengths by styling the coat with high-waisted pants.

Pair It With a Crop Top

You can’t go wrong with a crop top and coat combo.

Play With Dimension

Add dimension and layers to the coat by pairing it with a long tiered dress.

Stay in the Same Color Palette

Go monochromatic and style the coat with beige, yellow, and cream pieces.

Balance Bright Colors

Pull together a bright, color-coordinated outfit with the beige coat.

Layer With Long Sleeves

Let your long sleeves peek out under the coat for a cute, layered look.

The Spring 2020 Box is my first FabFitFun and sadly,will be my last.I cancelled my membership as soon as I opened the box that arrived today. The cardigan is HIDEOUS. The rest of the items are nothing special. The only item I had wanted that I actually chose, I of course didn't receive. Now I have to list all of this cheap crap in my Mercari shop and hope it sells, because I honestly want NONE of it. I felt like I received a gift from someone who knew nothing about me, despite all the questions they make you answer when you sign up. Massive fail.

I actually think this sweater is cute! It’s perfect for spring and you just have to make it your own.

diane.m.dellafiora Apr 28, 2020 at 6:36 pm

Didn’t love this. Looks like a lumpy bathrobe. :(

Michelle Apr 25, 2020 at 8:58 pm

I loved my box! The cardigan is perfect thickness to wear to work... the mystery item was absolutely incredible!! The brush is perfect- so fun the items I received

Christina Apr 22, 2020 at 9:21 am

At first I was excited for the cardigan but when I put it on I wasn’t impressed. I’m short so it looks like I’m wearing a tent. The sleeves are either too short or too long. Haven't figured it out yet. Either way it’s gonna be a robe type sweater. Unless I try and hem somethings.

Cindy Apr 22, 2020 at 8:40 am

I'm a shirt and jeans chick. I very rarely wear something like the coat thingy we got in the box. so when I got it I was a bit disappointed, then I tried it. I love it. It's cute i wouldn't say comfy, but it's nice. I got extra boxes and it was in all three extra boxes. #gifts. I love FFF the whole reason I started it was to try new and different things. Fff nailed it.

karendlyles Apr 21, 2020 at 5:23 pm

This cardigan thing is horrible! I’ve tried to find ways to use it. The only thing I can figure out is to sew up the front, cut 12 inches off the sleeves , and use it to throw over my pjs if I have to go to the door quickly or if I have to flee the house because of fire! What a waste!

Jolene Apr 20, 2020 at 3:55 pm

Very disappointed in this first package. I absolutely hate the cardigan. I will never wear it unless as an impromptu robe. Not very happy for my first package.

Jodie Apr 19, 2020 at 5:14 pm

I was expecting a comfortable lounge cardigan for chilly summer nights...I think this is perfect. Also, mine has a OSFM tag, which I expect to be big on a smaller frame and small on a larger frame. It fits me just right and is pretty cute.

Jolie Apr 19, 2020 at 12:28 pm

I'm not sure what others were expecting,but this sweater is exactly what I anticipated it would be. I love it! It's super comfy and works with jeans or jammies. I've gotten compliments every time that I've worn it too.

Elisabeth Apr 18, 2020 at 3:16 pm

The sweater is huge, but comfy as a house coat ????

Elisabeth Apr 18, 2020 at 3:16 pm

The sweater is huge, but comfy as a house coat ????

bailielasher Apr 17, 2020 at 6:05 pm

The small is super small. I really loved this sweater so I went on a buy/sell site to purchase a bigger sweater... I really want to love this sweater.

Trisha Apr 16, 2020 at 7:01 am

So disappointed in this sweater coat. I logged back into my order to make sure I didn't select the plus size. This is huge! There would be no way I would have purchased this for $10 let alone $99.

Heather Apr 09, 2020 at 7:28 am

The spring box was my first FabFitFun box. I wasn’t impressed with it at all. The sweater is terrible, I would never wear it. Too big and sloppy. I hope the Summer Box is an improvement!

Lisa Apr 05, 2020 at 3:29 pm

I hate this cardigan. Very disappointed in my box. Who would wear this “house coat” out of their home?

Karen Apr 04, 2020 at 9:27 pm

Agree with the rest, this cardigan is horrendous for the quality of fabric there’s is no way on earth that costs $99 I’m so dissatisfied and disappointed for this Spring Box 2020!

Shannon Apr 04, 2020 at 6:36 pm

I actually like mine. I wear it alot. Around the house & out in public. I get its not a sweater, but its comfortable. I've paired it with jeans, a tshirt, and flip flops. I wouldn't spend $99 on it, but as part of my box, I wasn't disappointed like most. Send me yours if you don't like it. Heck I'll.even pay shipping :)

Kimberley Apr 03, 2020 at 10:20 pm

I agree with everyone! I wear it around the house over my pj’s

Susan Apr 01, 2020 at 11:50 am

I agree with all. The sweater coat is a Jersey coat. Not at all what I expected. I hung it on the bathroom door with my other bathrobes.

ANGELA H Apr 01, 2020 at 8:42 am

Epic fail. Disappointed in this whole box. Everything I wanted was sold out and now this ugly coat. A $99 value - who would pay that?

Lily Mar 14, 2020 at 1:26 pm

Same opinion here. I am short and this sweater that is greyish... is huge, it seems that I am wearing a bag..

David Mar 10, 2020 at 2:32 pm

Very disappointed in this box VERY

Michele Mar 08, 2020 at 11:43 am

I am not usually one to complain but this sweater is hideous! It is going straight to the donation box. Also, it looks like anything that briefly hit my pre-sale cart and was deleted got shipped anyway. So there is a $300 charge on my credit card for things I did not want. Not cool!

Gabrielle Mar 08, 2020 at 8:05 am

I received it.At first,I was happy that you offered the choice for a plus size. When I tried it, I realised I didn't need a plus size. It so large and unflattering. Plus the sleeves are so short they stopped in the middle of my forearm. I am 6' and it look ridiculous... too big and too small at the same time. It look like a bad pyjama.

Susan Mar 07, 2020 at 4:06 pm

I thought I must have mistakenly ordered an XL. Nope. This mess of a “sweater” hangs off of me so horribly, I’d never wear it. Maybe it can be repurposed into a shopping bag, backpack, dog bed... Worst thing I’ve received from FFF and I choose it. We should all get a nice consolation prize for the disappointment!

Louise Harbison Mar 07, 2020 at 1:57 pm

Very disappointed in this sweater. Looks like a hospital gown and is huge!

Elizabeth Mar 07, 2020 at 1:44 pm

Way too big on someone who is only about 5 feet tall! I look like a dwarf in it!????????

roxine_weaver Mar 07, 2020 at 1:20 pm

I hate this it’s awful! Thinking of canceling after this not happy at all!

Jessie Mar 07, 2020 at 12:33 pm

I came to this page to see if anyone else had the same response to the "sweater" as I did. It was not what I expected at all. Completely different color and fabric. I'll probably use it as a robe or just wear it around the house.

Dannielle Mar 07, 2020 at 12:23 pm

Agreed..the “sweater” is a major fail. I use quotes because it’s definitely not a sweater. I’ll use it with pj’s or sweats around the house

Kaiam Mar 07, 2020 at 11:09 am

So disappointed. This is not a sweater. It’s more like a cheap hospital robe. I wouldn’t wear it outside of my house. It’s not fab or fun.

Jennifer Mar 05, 2020 at 6:52 am

"Glad" it's not just me in regards to the sweater! Mine is absolutely not beige - it's blue/grey?? - and I'd been so hoping to get a nice beige sweater to style. The coloring is going to be much harder to style - certainly doable but nowhere near as versatile as the color that was shown on FFF or the DONNI website. :(

Kristy Feb 28, 2020 at 6:51 pm

I absolutely hate this sweater. Honestly is a cheap see through material that I would be embarrassed even using it as a swimsuit cover up. Terrible. Not happy with the spring box at all.

lbyronrn Feb 28, 2020 at 7:04 am

This may be the worst thing I’ve ever received from FFF. I’m very disappointed. Typically, as others have said, I will gift things I don’t want, promoting FFF while I do it. I would be embarrassed to give this to a friend. Bad call, FFF.. Bad call.

Arnisha-Lee Feb 25, 2020 at 9:59 pm

Received mine and paid extra for it. Highly disappointed as it does not look like the picture during customization. Contacted customer for refund but ended up getting a extra item free. This item won’t be worn outside my house. Otherwise everything else in my box was great.

Julie Feb 25, 2020 at 7:47 pm

So so sad. It's not a sweater. Sweaters are usually yarn. This was very thin ribbed fabric that is see through. Not even the pictures above could make it look good. I was certainly hoping this article would "help" this. My friend watched me put it on all excited and the smile left her face. "I don't ever see you wearing this." I don't think it's a cardigan. It's maybe a bathing suit robe without a tie? Unfortunately it looks like something a poor old woman would wear on a farm or sick in a hospital. Makes me feel like a dump truck. I can't even refit this to someone else. It'll have to go into the donation or costume bin for maybe a Christmas shepherd in the field for a kid costume.

Hunteronyx@yahoo.com Feb 25, 2020 at 7:29 pm

So, I received the sweater and it is god awful. I thought I would give it away, however no one wanted it. I really hate complaining, however this is not up to standards. If I could return it, I would love too. It looks like a pillow case with arms.

Anna Cerone Feb 25, 2020 at 4:27 pm

Haven’t received this yet so l can’t respond one way or another! Just looking to getting my box

jrgracie Feb 25, 2020 at 12:03 pm

I pray I get the face light and not this sweater

Sherri Feb 24, 2020 at 6:02 pm

I agree with the above comments regarding the sweater it’s huge and I’m not impressed With the other items I’ve received. I’m paying out more than what my shipment was worth. Very sad:(

Delaney Feb 24, 2020 at 1:45 pm

After reading this I am so upset I chose this all this company has done is fail me recently I think after they finally get their crap together and refund the almost 300$ they owe me, you read that right I will be canceling.

nckwht Feb 24, 2020 at 8:36 am

My sweater came with a hole in it. Cheaply made. I am going to stitch the hole and try to get some wear out of it.

glowrey1979 Feb 23, 2020 at 10:29 pm

Fingers crossed this sweater isn't in my first box, ugh! Sounds awful!

glowrey1979 Feb 23, 2020 at 10:28 pm

Fingers crossed this sweater isn't in my first box, ugh! Sounds aweful!

Bettyanne Feb 23, 2020 at 9:39 am

I wanted the sweater coat so bad because I love these types of sweaters but now with reading all the comments, I am sad I chose it and paid extra to get the led face light. :(

Elizabeth Feb 23, 2020 at 2:27 am

Sad that it’s not actually beige- mine is striped. Had I understood there were different options or possibilities, I may have chosen otherwise. It’s okay, just definitely not what I had expected.

Michelle Pare Feb 22, 2020 at 11:32 pm

Not sure what to do with it. It is ugly and unflattering. Looks cheap.

Silvia Feb 22, 2020 at 8:18 pm

Total fail on this sweater, wish we could return it! I know I won’t be wearing it, it is boxy and huge!

Rhoda Feb 22, 2020 at 10:59 am

I can’t add anything else positive about the sweater. I’m only 5’1 so it does just hang on me and is in no way flattering or stylish. Fail on this entire box ????.

Sandra Feb 22, 2020 at 7:28 am

I have to agree with the other comments. It is quite boxy and just hangs there. I received my size (large) but I could have gotten away with a medium or maybe even a small. I have never worn this type of sweater before and was interested in trying it but i am just not sure. I have a friend who is a plus size, maybe I'll give it to her if she likes it.

Kathryn Feb 22, 2020 at 7:15 am

Agree with everyone else. I got the sweater and it is a huge disappointment. It’s huge, boxy and cheap looking. I’ve only been a member since last Fall, and I was super impressed with my first two boxes. So I assumed this sweater must be great. It’s not. Loved a lot of the other items though.

rayandginam Feb 22, 2020 at 5:59 am

I have not received my spring box. Please do NOT send me this sweater! It doesn't even look like something I'd wear.

Rosalia Feb 22, 2020 at 5:33 am

Agreed! The cardigan is a sad attempt. Actually makes me want to longer make the orders. The box used to be better.

Teelah Feb 22, 2020 at 4:52 am

I looked at this designers site and they should of added one of the Donni turban head bands which are really on trend atm not this boxy cardigan

Mary Feb 21, 2020 at 10:56 pm

Yes, I am disappointed in the cardigan too. It's cheap looking and the material is awful. So sad. I suggest a redo on that one.

kelleychambers101 Feb 21, 2020 at 9:16 pm

So glad I didn't pick the sweater coat. The more pictures I see of it, the uglier I think it is. Just ick.

Barbara Feb 21, 2020 at 8:40 pm

I agree that this sweater coat is an epic fail. Both the colour and the shape. Looks like a hospital gown. First Fab Fit Fun box I have been disappointed in.

Joanna Feb 21, 2020 at 8:33 pm

The drab Donni sweater coat is dreadful regardless of what it's paired with. It's pretty much shapeless - like wearing a sheet or bag.

Christina Feb 21, 2020 at 7:40 pm

I haven’t gotten my spring box yet, but I’m a plus size woman, is this even going to fit??

Susanna Feb 21, 2020 at 6:52 pm

What color is it ? Looks beige, some say it’s grey ?

Pamela Feb 21, 2020 at 6:40 pm

I think the Donni sweater cost is an epic fail. No matter how I try to style it (including the ideas listed on the FabFitFun site), it is boxy, shapeless and cheap looking. I love FabFitFun and have been a member for three years, but this sweater coat is below your normal standards and I won’t be wearing it.
