4.0 out of 5 stars
Same fabrics, can now sell cheaper!, March 18, 2005
This review is from: Starlight 5 Piece Crib Set (Baby Product)
Although the Wendy Bellissimo line came out too late for us, I am already planning turning my son's nursery into a double for the next child. The Wendy Bellissimo line corresponds well with our Pottery Barn Kids bedding, and the colors I chose for my son's nursery which is how it got my interest. The quality of the fabric in person is beautiful, soft, and rich. Those who gave it low ratings have instead suggested some very low quality bedding that, quite frankly, does not compare on any level. And the fact that many of the items are slipcovered is a huge plus. My PBK bumpers are not. I contacted the Wendy Bellissimo company to find out what they were using different in the bedding to bring the prices down. They responded saying that this is the same fabric and bedding that was sold under the Bellissimo line before, but because of a partnership with BRU are able to sell it at a much lower price. Obviously, this is true in any case. You're going to make more selling at a mass retailer at an affordable price, than at a boutique not many can afford. This being said, lets face that this isn't the same very custom bedding that she did for top celebrities, and isn't using velvet in her BRU collections! I, a very particular shopper, plan on considering this line for my next child's bedding, and am looking forward to the Moses Basket, and the rugs that I've heard will be coming out. I hope this helps clear up some of the quality issues some people are having.

Even better in person!, March 11, 2005
This review is from: Starlight 5 Piece Crib Set (Baby Product)
Personally, I felt that the online photos did not do it justice! I saw it in the store first and completely fell in love with it. When I saw it online later, I thought the photos made it look boring and the colors seemed dull. It really looks amazing in person. Quality-wise, I think it's one of the best that Babies 'R' Us has to offer and would compare it to the quality of Pottery Barn Kids, which is awesome. My opinion is that you get what you pay for, and this is very much worth it! Plus, all of the corresponding room accessories are also gorgeous and reasonably priced. I wanted something neutral and nothing cookie-cutter and cheesy! The presentation of this collection is very classy and elegant!

don't know what we're having, March 23, 2005
This review is from: Starlight 5 Piece Crib Set (Baby Product)
My husband and I want to keep our first baby's gender a secret so I had to find a nursery set that was gender neutral but didn't have teddy bears all over it. I was browsing at Babies R Us and was surprised to find this collection there. The sales person said it was a new line called Wendy Bellissimo. I found this collection called Starlight which is perfect for us. The colors are very soft and pale and not at all overwhelming, which I liked. The bumpers are all slipcovered too, which means washing the crib set is going to be very easy. I also really liked all of the coordinating accessories, especially the window treatments and child's chair slipcover. If you are looking for a non-gender specific nursery set, I highly recommend you take a look at this one. (The pictures on-line don't do it justice.)
