Very nice dress, good delivery
January 3, 2024

I ordered a figure skating dress, which is quiet adventurous - you never know if it fits really according to the measures indicated. But everything is fine! The dress from Light in the Box looks exactly like on the photo, and it fits absolutely well, just as described! I'm really happy with it.
Every step of the delivery was acompanied by e-mail, so that I always knew where my dress was. It arrived as announced, and was in perfect condition. After I got it, Light in the Box asked again, if I have got it. I appreciated this sort of reliable delivery very much.
Only four stars, because it took more than a month until the dress arrived.

Sizing is confusing
January 3, 2024

I have purchased from Light in The Box for a number of years. I choose carefully and have been most satisfied with the products. The sizing is still very confusing. If I choose US size, it does not work with the measurements. Some things come too big, others too small. But, I keep trying. Shipments are made quickly. Returns are more complicated.

I built my entire new wardrobe
January 3, 2024
Updated review

I recently lost so much weight I had to rebuild a brand new wardrobe. I did not win the lottery, and so I didn't have an endless supply of money. Light in the Box allowed me to build a great wardrobe with interesting and wonderful new products and I saved a ton of money.

Previous review

I've been very fortunate. I lost a lot of weight and I was forced to buy a whole new wardrobe. Light In the Box has allowed me to buy trendy new clothes at affordable prices. I feel very lucky I found light in the box.

I've made a handful of purchases from Lightinthebox and I must say, I've been mostly impressed. If you are looking for clothing and products that are unique and stylish that won't break the bank, you've come to the right place. You won't find better deals for quality products. You'll score even bigger if you happen to catch one of their "lightning deals". There are times where the product picture doesn't fully match the product and sometimes the shipping can take a bit long. However, the customer service is very responsive and fair! Overall, I recommend shopping here.

Great difficulty doing an Exchange!
January 3, 2024

I have been trying to do an exchange and have had nothing but hoops to jump through!
I have not asked for a refund! I need a different size!
Next step is to call my credit card company! I am so frustrated!
