DO NOT BUY FROM THIS WEBSITE
March 19, 2024

They do not actually offer returns. They made me ship my order back to China, and I had to pay for my own shipping costs, which was $40. Then they wouldn't refund me the entire order price, only a portion of it. In the end it wasn't financially worth going through the refund process at all.

I ordered a top and a pair of baggy pants. Both fit well, but the top was cheaply made. The pants were cute and as I expected.

Disappointed and a Waste of money
March 19, 2024

The outfit was not advertised correctly. I ordered from size guide, regular US sizes. They did not fit and I could not get a return full price because they said it was a special order ( US 10) and too costly to return. So they told me (that supposedly they would make an exception and refund $ 30 some dollars from some $166.00 paid.
I would not recommend them, because of their unclear return policy. It does not benefit the buyer. And sizing is not accurately stated.
