Out of two packages i got only one packet. I ordered in the month of March and about to receive in May but now it's June not received. No doubt products are good but only when we receive.

DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM
June 15, 2022

Don't order from them unless you read and study the size guide- I ordered 5 things and 3 didn't fit and returns are a huge ordeal and they try everything possible to get you to keep it and get no money back. I returned 3 things to China and had to pay postage and am still not sure if I'll get any money back. The return instructions are ridiculous. I'll stick to Wish (great return policy) and Shien (also great with returns). It's basically all the same stuff and quality - trust me, order from them.

Purchased a jacket size large... but large where I'm not sure. Website return procedure is horrible. Everywhere you should be able to "click" does not respond. You need a form to make a return yet it's impossible to find/print the form. Customer service is non existent. No way to email or chat.

Really bad quality
June 14, 2022

Items arrived today after 3 weeks, very disappointed with the quality, paper thin, wrong size and looks like it was made by a three year old.
I'll be chasing a refund through PayPal

Party
June 14, 2022

I have been invited to a wedding and well. Yes: I had a dress, but not very party-like. So I ordered 2 capes (white and black) and they changed my dress to, what I needed.

I found this site after looking for ages online for dresses that fit my criteria long free flowing and stylish. I found lots on this site so ordered two to see what they were like. They arrived here in Portugal just over 2 weeks later. I tried the first one and it fit perfect and the fabric is lovely too so I tried the second and that was just as nice too so I was very pleased. I wore one at a family get together and now three of my relatives have ordered too. They really are gorgeous dresses cannot fault them.

2 robes achetées
June 14, 2022

Les photos sont vraiment plus belles que la réalité et la robe bleu marine et blanche n est pas du tout comme sur la photo! Elle n'est pas cintrée et tombe comme un peignoir! Et le tissu est brillant et pas mat et qd on retrousse les manches c est blanc à l intérieur alors que marine sur la photo et la taille est complètement out. Je fais 42 en France et j'ai pris S et on dirait du 52 ou XXL et pour renvoyer l article c'est tellement mal expliqué et compliqué sans doute exprès que je vais la donner aux sans abri! Pour l autre robe c'est correct. Mais plus jamais je ne commanderai chez vous ça c'est certain!

Quand un article ne va pas, trop grand ou trop petit, on ne peut pas le renvoyer. J'ai déjà renvoyé des articles en Chine, aucune nouvelle, ni réponse. C'est la seule chose que je reproche et je vais acheter en France où on peut renvoyer sans problème.

Nothing is returnable- be careful. If you attempt to return the item, they will stonewall you until you give up.
