I have ordered 3 dresses, the delivery was a little long but nothing compared to the disappointment when I started to look at the dresses.
All of them were made of very poor quality fabric, one had a broken zip, another one which was supposed to have a long tulle skirt had the inner skirt so short that it didn't even cover my underwear.
The colours of one of the dresses weren't even shown on the website.

I have contacted the customer service to return the items, and they are making things so difficult requesting pictures and descriptions and all the kinds of questions that make me feel ashamed because they are assuming that my body size is not correct asking me to check my dimensions and send them to them in pictures!
This has never happened to me before on any other website I have used.
We should be free to buy a dress, try it and if it doesn't fit, just be able to return without all this harassment.

They do not have a return policy, so if you decide to return the items you purchase, the option you have is to have a voucher of the 80% of the value of a 70% refund.

Ik had een artikel dat aan de mouwen te spannend is en dus retour wou zenden.
Spijtig krijg je je geld niet terug en mag je het niet retour zenden.

Tried for months to get a reply for a defective light they sold me. I'm out over $300 because there is no customer service replies, or phone and VISA will not help you fight this company.

Orecchini ok, molto carini. Un paio di orecchini più piccoli rispetto alle foto. Abito non al pari delle aspettative, con difetto cucitura dietro la schiena. Tessuto sottilissimo
