The Talbots clearance store in Springfield, VA offers a modern classic selection of women's clothing, accessories, and shoes in misses, petite, and plus sizes. Some customers find it a wonderful place to buy quality clothes for very reasonable prices, praising the knowledgeable and very helpful staff. The store has improved its policy to allow returns, relieving strain on the dressing rooms. The clothes are appreciated for being classic in tailoring, so they can be kept for longer. However, multiple reviews express significant disappointment with recent visits. Customers report that inventory is very low, with very little to offer, only summer shoes, and no coats. The merchandise is described as outdated, with shoes basically gone. Prices are noted as much higher, making sales like "buy three and get 60% off" not feel like a true sale due to the high starting prices. Some customers state they will not be back or will try again in a couple of months. The store hours, closing daily at 5 PM, are also noted as a drawback.
