The small size for my black dress was extra wide but still beautiful. My black shirt was more yellow than gold but still beautiful. I love the soft feeling of my blue dress--looking for more cotton dresses!

It's like Christmas

So far so great! If I order something and they don't have it Immediately I am notified and refunded in full with nice little surprises and credits for other products! I have a specialist who deals with me specifically and treats me very kindly! So far I've been satisfied with many of the things I have received from this company! As I am sure you will!

Trial before larger purchase
April 16, 2024

I ordered an inexpensive dress and a bracelet as I wanted something for a wedding. The dress I
Ordered came on time was ok quality for the price the dress fit but knee length on me hung to the floor
And the jacket was way to small. I ordered an XL,. In a Canadian Store A 14 OR 16 would have fit fine. I oved the styles but could not get over the thought that if I Measured for custom and got it wrong I would out several hundred dollars. I hated that the web site would not show me the dress I liked in the colour I Wanted. I will try again when there is more time to try non custom sizes and return. I did not return the inexpensive dress as I would be paying so I gave it to
The resource store maybe someone else can use it. Also the web site could be more user friendly

Order Takes A Month To Arrive
April 16, 2024

This is the second order I've place with LightInTheBox. The first order was for 1 t-shirt and the second order is for 2 more t-shirts and it takes 4 weeks to receive the orders. The second order was placed on 4/3/2024 and I received an email that I should receive them 4/20/2024 to 4/26/2024. That's 4 weeks since the order was placed. It seems to me that's a long time to receive the order. I don't know where they're coming from and perhaps that's why.

The quality of the first shirt I ordered seems good. It was very comfortable and it looked just like the description's picture.

Service was good

The dress arrived and was as shown. However, the dress was too small and the coat was too large. Received a refund after I returned at my expense.

I have ordered from them several times as I like the clothes. Every time I have the same problem and it takes forever to receive the product. For example, my last order was 3 weeks ago and still has not left their facility. Then plan on a couple more weeks after that. Just expect to wait 1-2 months to get anything.

They also keep adjusting their delivery or shipping time frame and it is impossible to contact customer support unless it is outside that time frame. No way to email them and no way to call them on a specific order. I should just cancel the orders but do like the clothes. They need a serious improvement in their shipping and customer support.
