Lulu's Fashion Lounge, Inc.'s target market is definitely for the "20 something" age group but there are enough classic designs that even a "Baby Boomer" looking for a nice "After Five" dress can find something. While most of the dresses are modeled by models who are 5'7", there is also a good size guide that provides information on the length of the dress from the shoulder. This is especially helpful for those of us who are a petite 5'0" or under. On the particular dress I purchased, the hemline was just "above the knee" which is where I wanted it instead of being 5 or 6 inches above the knee as shown on the model. The quality of the dress was very good - definitely comparable to what I had originally purchased online and will be returning from Macy's. I would definitely recommend Lulu's.

Great service
September 21, 2017

The first time I ordered a dress it had a bad zipper, looked nothing like the picture, and it had a weird smell. Customer service was really nice when I had questions concerning my return. I decided to order a second dress and it exceed my expectations. The dress was a thick material seen on professional dresses like Calvin Klein, the zipper worked perfectly, and it fit amazing. I'm glad I gave it a second chance!

Hi Cyndi!

Thank you so much for contacting us! I am more than happy to help with any of your questions. Lulu's prides itself on its up to date fashion, quality and overall service. If you are ever unhappy with a purchase we are always willing to help resolve any issue. Our sizing tends to run a bit smaller than women's. We are mainly junior. We can be compared in some ways to Forever21, H&M and others. We carry not only our own brand but many other larger names. I would like to invite you to use our Live Chat feature on our site. We have stylists standing by to help you with all of your sizing questions.

Please let me know if you have further questions! Have a great day! XOXO

Very Satisfied
August 24, 2017

I love this site. The customer service was wonderful. I would recommend this site to anyone. I ordered brides maids dress. The dresses arrived and looked exactly like the picture. They also fit true to size. It is very refreshing to find a replicable site. So if you are skeptical trust me this is a very trust worthy site.

My dress came in time as it was expected. It came new, never opened, never worn. I was a bit worried about sizing but I checked their size chart, measured myself and ordered "S", even though I usually wear "XS". This is the first time I ordered clothes on this website and will definitely recommend it!

Impressed with their response!
August 17, 2017
Updated review

I'm quite impressed that after I gave them a lesser rating due to the duties/fees that applied when I picked up my order they not only explained themselves but also offered to refund my shipping charges (not the duties but the shipping charges on the company's end). Clearly it was something "I" missed when I placed my order (that I would have to pay the excess fee's) but I still think in the future (to avoid these complaints) they should include the charges somehow into their prices. Super impressed with the quality as stated before and will order from them again :)

Previous review

I had never ordered from Lulu's before so thought I'd give it a go. I wasn't impressed at all when I found out I had to pay $25 in customs/duties. I realized after (from reading the fine print) that they do tell you you'll have to pay it and they have no control however, I never have to pay it with other companies or else they include it in their costs (I think that would be better than getting an unexpected bill at the end). I was super happy with the quality and feel like the clothes/shoes fit true to size tho :)

To be honest, I had a not so great experience with customer service over a misunderstanding on a return refund, but I totally amend my previous review! A service rep contacted me after seeing my review and not only got my refund, but went beyond and above to give me a discount, which I think is even more than I deserve. Will definitely be ordering again now that I know how much care they give their customers.

Hi Sarah!

Thank you so much for your review. I have just responded to your other review asking for an order number. Thank you for including this here. I do see that your scan was one day late, so our program flagged this as late. Unfortunately drop boxes do not always get scanned the same day. I have removed this from you order and you will be refunded today. Please allow 3-5 business days for this to post back into your account. You are welcome to keep the credit that we sent you. Along with the credit, **** is a 20% off code that you can use on any order in the future. The store credit will not expire. Of course my mission is to help resolve this issue and get the review removed or improved, but my main goal is that you are happy and the issues are resolved!

I hope to hear back from you soon. Have a wonderful day! XOXO

Spectacular!
August 12, 2017

I just have to put in a great review for an awesome customer service experience I received from lulus that I have never received before.

Just for the record, I always receive great customer service when dealing with Lulus but this one has really set the bar!

I ordered a skirt from their online store which was mailed to me however, in receiving the product, I realized the zipper had a defect and couldn't zip all the way down. I called their customer service line and explained it to them. They mentioned I take a picture and send as an email attachment to them but before I got around to doing that, they already emailed me the return label to send the item back. That was the first gold star*!(their sense of urgency).

When I finally emailed, I received feedback from an amazing representative that first apologized for the inconvenience, asked me to verify my address to send a new skirt out and gave me a $15 voucher for the inconvenience. 2nd gold star*!

Now this was what took it home for me- I was asked how soon I needed the product and I mentioned I wanted to wear it on Saturday if it was still feasible, seeing that it was the end of Wednesday and I still had to process the return on my end to send it back to them. Before I knew it, my package was sitting by my front door when I got back from work the following day(thursday!)

Lulus is amazing and I took the time to write this out because their customer service speaks volume about who they are and how much they value their customers. Also, did I mention that I love their clothes?! I will forever be a lulus customer and thanks for the great service. Super excited to rock my skirt this weekend!

Hi Ancie!

Thank you so much for your reply. I am sorry for any confusion. The $10.00 in credit was sent as an apology and for a future order. This was not a refund. Your order's total was $27.00 and this was refunded in full. You will not have to return this. Your refund should have posted back into your account with 3-5 business days. Have you seen this yet?

I look forward to your reply, have a great day! XOXO

I have been ordering from Lulus since 2011. I recommend Lulus to everyone I know. They are absolutely a legitimate company that you can trust with your credit card information.

My favorite clothing pieces are from Lulus and I also get the most compliments on my Lulus items. My #1 thing to order from here is definitely dresses but I do have a number of clutches, different jewelry pieces and a few tops as well.

I love the selection that Lulus offers as well as the excellent return policy.

I am happy that I can order from Lulus with confidence because they will allow me to return something if I do not like the way it looks or fits.

For the most part my sizing is always the same but you have to remember that Lulus sells items from different vendors so it is normal that sizing would be a little off... if I normally fit in a size large but I find that a vendor's idea of a large is not the same as some other vendor's idea of large and it does not fit, that is very normal and to be expected.

Lulus also offers coupons regularly-- the biggest I have seen is 20% off total purchase but you definitely see $10 off $100,10% off total purchase and 15% off total purchase most often.

I have nothing bad to say about Lulus. They are my favorite place to order from and my closet is easily 85% full of items I have purchased from Lulus. I am a Lulus addict.

To start, this is a 5 star review because I absolutely love this site and their dresses. I have ordered from here many many times and most of the time am very happy with the clothes and their quality. Of note, however, is that their standard shipping is the slowest standard shipping I have found online. If you need a dress in time for an event order in advance or pay for faster shipping! The sizing from dress to dress isn't always consistent but they have a good return policy so I feel comfortable ordering a dress I'm not sure about in multiple sizes and returning one that doesn't fit. Also, I have twice now received the wrong item. The first time this happened they informed me the item I paid for was out of stock so I simply had to go through the hassle of returning the incorrect item they sent me. The more recent time I ordered a dress for an event which I received just a few days prior to when I needed to wear it. When I emailed them asking which dress I received and explaining the situation they just offered to exchange or return the incorrect item, so I ended up wearing the wrong dress for my event due to the time constraint. It was a similar dress so it wasn't a catastrophe but I found it on their website and discovered that it would have cost less than the dress I paid for but didn't get. I am waiting to hear back from them on if they will refund me the difference for the dress I didn't receive. I also once received a dress with a tear in the material and was unable to exchange it because it was out of stock in my size - the best dresses sell out fast! Overall, this is a great online store with stylish, high quality clothing. Sometimes they ship the wrong item and only offer a return or a slow exchange, but I will continue to order from here.

EDIT: While I have still not heard back about if my credit card will be refunded for the incorrect dress, I did receive a $20 credit for their site. (:

I procrastinated buying a bridesmaid dress, and to my dismay I received it with a stain on the front. To be clear, the stain was likely from the place it was packed, not from wear. I contacted customer service asking them to be reimbursed for dry cleaning fees and they were more than happy to oblige $30 back on my $110 dress-impressive!). They also gave me 15% off my next purchase. All of the bridesmaids in the wedding party have ordered with lulus and we have all had fantastic experiences with customer service (someone was shipped shoes instead of a dress, oops). The way the one star reviews are worded lead me to believe that the reimbursement or promotions offered as reparation are less to those who do not approach these situations in a calm and open manner. Don't bite the hand that feeds.

Amazing experience
July 24, 2017

I was skeptical after reading some reviews but I fell in love with two dresses and took a chance. On the website there is reviews from real customers who can enter their size, weight, etc and it gives you a chance to compare their reviews and your measurements to find the perfect size. Once I found the two dresses I wanted for my bachelorette party that is in a week I opted for three day shipping which was only an extra $9.00. They arrived right on time and I am in LOVE. Exactly how the website described them. I will be order again and recommending to friends.

I have bought 3 outfits from Lulus and I have been satisfied with them. It helps to look at the reviews on the outfit you are buying and looking at the models measurements and the other ladies who leave reviews at their measurements to compare to your self to fully imagine how the clothing will fit. I am going to be purchasing again very soon from them.

Love the clothing
July 15, 2017

I love the clothing, but sucks paying so much for CND prices and I got charged a duty tax of $96 this time for 3 dresses. A USD of $196 cost me over $350 in the end! Yikes. Cute clothing though. Two dresses I have to return for quality (zipper, and one was very sheer) and one I can't because it's Final sale( really pretty but weird in the bust area. But usually everything is awesome.

Be aware that they do not cover return shipping costs if the order is outside the USA. You may also have to pay for customs and duties not to mention exchange rates. On a $118 order I had to pay $40 in customs and duties and $21 to return the order for 2 clothing items. Shop at Amazon.

Hi Claudia!

Thank you so much for taking the time to reach out and leave a review. I am terribly sorry for this experience. I do apologize if you were not aware that additional taxes and duties would most likely apply to your order. Duties and taxes are fees imposed by your respective government because you are importing items. They are not related to our company in any way and we do not have any control over the duties and taxes that are imposed.

As per our shipping page, duties and taxes are the responsibility of the customer. Before the customer can checkout, we do have a box to click understanding that these charges could be applied at time of delivery.

If you would like to provide me with your order number, I would be happy to look this up and see what I can offer you for compensation!

I look forward to your reply. I am happy to help resolve this and turn this experience around for you! Have a wonderful day! XOXO

I LOVE LULU'S
July 11, 2017

I love Lulu's I shop there frequently the site is easy to maneuver and the items on the site are always trendy and cute. Today I spoke to * the customer service rep who wasn't very helpful in accommodating my concerns and could care less about my issue. I later called back and spoke to * about my same issue she was more than willing to help and made sure I ended the call a continued happy customer. She's awesome.

I have ordered from Lulu's several times and only recently had issues with two dresses that I ordered. One got a huge rip in the seam after only 10 minutes of wearing and another shrunk so short that it was unwearable even though I did not dry it and followed the washing instructions. Both if these issues should have been resolved with no problems however they initially refused to accept the returns due to it being over 10 days since I received them. After a few emails (and waiting days for a response) they agreed to a store credit if I returned the dresses. Nearly two weeks after I mailed the dresses back I finally got an email saying one dress had been refunded for a store credit. When I emailed about the other they stated that they only received the one dress ( I mailed both). So I then had to search for my mailed receipt with proof of weight that I did indeed mail both dresses. How does a company lose proof that I mailed two dresses? And why has it taken over month total to sort this out? I used to love Lulu's but unfortunately their lack of being able to correctly process exchanges and overall slow response time is a huge turn off. I guess we will see if I even get my full store credit for the items that I returned.

Update: Lulu's responded promptly to this review and is now refunding me for one of the items and doing a store credit for the other. They were courteous and I hope to have a better shopping experience next time.

Hi Hillary!

Thanks again for getting back to me. I am so sorry for any confusion. The credit for the one dress has been redeemed. This means that your credit has been loaded into your account. Unless you have applied it to an order, it is waiting in your account for use. When you are ready to place an order, you will first click "secure checkout". This will direct you to the shipping page and then the billing page. Once at the billing page you will see you balance and a box to apply your credit. After your credit and coupon code is applied, you can either use a credit card, tab over to Amazon or Paypal.

Please let me know if this helps! XO
