Talbots

I love this clearance location! There are only 3 in the US — the other in Springfield VA (and that one is kind of «meh») and Michigan, I believe) and this location gets great stuff and more importantly, it is ORGANIZED. I was in this morning and everything is neatly arranged by size (whereas the VA location, where I stopped in 2 weeks ago, looked like a yard sale).
Go with an open mind and say «I’m open to anything I find» and you could get lucky. While it is almost the end of Summer, I picked up a fantastic pair of shorts today — nothing wrong with them! — for $ 7.99. Talbots stuff lasts forever, so this could be the deal of my lifetime.
If you want an outlet store nearby, well, there is the one in Hingham that I am not too impressed with, and one out in Lee at the outlets. Oh, I think in Wrentham too… just go when they have the 50% off everything sales, which seem to be often.

This outlet store is much bigger than I expected. I found a great selection of typical Talbots fashions — all 60 percent off the original price. My mom loves the conservative styles, so good for finding gifts for her. The only catch is all sales are final. So, when buying gifts, you’re taking a little bit of a risk.

Always great deals– and nice quality– you definitely need to browse to find the hidden gems– great for conservative work wear–

Like any outlet store, this place is hit or miss. Sometimes the window displays entice you but when you go in and actually look, the clothes are a little weird, but if you shop here frequently, you’ll hit the jackpot every so often. Their strength is more conservative and work-​appropriate items, especially good quality lined jackets, slacks and skirts. The shoe section is pretty small and unimpressive.
But it’s definitely someplace to check out if you are in this mall. When the stars are in alignment and you find something, the prices and value are generally excellent.

I have been a huge fan of Talbot’s for many years. I used to shop at the flagship outlet in Hingham, MA when it was the only Talbot’s outlet, was very disappointed when it closed. As I’ve gained weight, it has been increasingly difficult to find professional clothes that fit. As much as it strained the budget, I broke down and bought a few plus size petite outfits at the traditional Talbots. Was thrilled when I learned there was a true outlet (not the hokey knock off «outlet» at the premium outlet malls that doesn’t have plus size petites) only an hour away from me.
When I went to the Talbots Outlet in Woburn, MA, I found three skirts (separates), a matching skirt and top, two blazers, two shirts, and a casual top and cotton throw. All this was about $ 160.00. I don’t expect to do this well every time as I know outlets can be «hit or miss». I wish I could have found a dress but cannot complain at all. To find a gorgeous lined skirt in a plus size petite for under $ 20 is an amazing find. Hideous, poor quality «Just My Size» clothes from Wal-​Mart are only a few dollars less. Why would anyone buy something like that when they could buy a well-​made, timeless classic for just a few dollars more?

I haven’t stepped in a Talbots in years and I’m so digging this store’s soft color palette & silhouettes. Great finds and sales items.
I needed a few black skirts for work & found them! Right on.

The wonderful thing about Talbots is that they have an excellent petite’s line and I actually FIT in their clothing. The not-​so-​wonderful thing about Talbots is that you’d have to be out of your mind or comfortable enough to drop $ 80 – 90 on a tiny cardigan.
The saving grace for this outlet is that they often have deep discount sales, which puts most of their merchandise at affordable prices, and sometimes even a steal if you hit it right. I made out like a bandit when I hit the «EVERYTHING IN THE STORE IS $ 19.99 AND UNDER» — gorgeous sweaters, staple items like shirts… I must have spent only about $ 50 and walked away with a TON of stuff.
It’s worth keeping an eye on the Talbots Outlet because sometimes you hit it just right. But make sure you really like what you’re buying because sales are final!

This review is a long time coming. I’ve been to this Talbots Outlet about 10 times, and I wish there was a 3.5 option. Just like any outlet, it is a hit or miss experience. Yesterday I found nothing that fit correctly. I tried different sizes, and still, just something was off. Could be the ten extra lbs of winter weight I’m working off right now! But two months ago i was there and got a dress, suit jacket, two pairs of jeans, and a sweater set for $ 100. Remember, everything here is FINAL SALE, so be sure to venture into the fitting rooms at the back. This place is a madhouse on the weekends, but weeknights you’ll feel like you have the place to yourself. Oh, one other tip, if you find something you like, but not in your size, venture into the other sections (Plus, Petite), as a lot of times things have not been put back into the right section.

As much as I’d love to shop at the Boylston Street store, it’s just not within my budget.
The outlet is a great alternative to getting the polished — and much updated — Talbot’s look at affordable prices… especially when they’re 50−90% off original prices.
With those prices and sizes ranging from Petite to Plus Size, there is no excuse not to look incredibly put together. It’s my go-​to store for work apparel.

I have to disagree with the other two reviews. There are always going to be a number of oddballs at an «outlet» store… like those outrageous spring colors; however, this place is large enough that you’ll find a lot of very nice good finds for any sophisticated taste. If you want a matching skirt/​pants and jacket, then you will pay more ($ 60 for a jacket and $ 45 for a skirt). If you’re willing to get separates then pants will average around $ 20 — $ 30, jackets $ 30, and blouses are $ 18 — $ 28.
I’ve been to other talbots outlets and this one is very nice in comparison. Things are fairly organized and the place is clean.
It is less frequent that you’ll find a deal for $ 5 like a usual outlet store, but for Talbots quality a nice pair of dress pants for $ 20 is nothing to complain about at all. Don’t let me dissuade you though from great deals as you can almost always find a great skirt here for $ 8 or t-​shirt.

Nice store. I got a suit here this weekend. Just don’t be fooled into thinking that «Outlet» means affordable though. I still droppped $ 100 on the suit — although it would have been $ 180 at the store. Also middle sizes are harder to find — most of the sizes available fall on either end of the size spectrum. They did have a alot of clothes in the 12W — 24W section though.
