Horrible
May 20, 2020

When I ordered the yellow polkadot dress I was so excited. However, when I received the dress I was very disappointed. The material they used a lot cheaper then the one pictured. When trying to return the dress they make you jump through hoops. I have to return it at cost to me with a tracking number. If I send them the package without a tracking number I get NO refund. Also they need me to email them the tracking number, order number, item number and other things. I will NEVER order from them again.

Ordered three dresses for almost $100 but the material of the products definitely do not reflect on the price. The dresses made of cheap material that smell strongly of chemicals and looks like they were hastily sewn together as some of the hems were fraying and thread was hanging out. Two of the dresses came with belts that were of such poor quality that the creases were incredibly noticeable where it was folded.

They're more akin to what I would expect from discount websites, rather than from a store/website claiming to be a boutique. The clothes are cute, but the material is really lacking. If the price reflected the cheap material, I would consider buying again. However, it is much too inflated for what it is actually worth. The website claims that they have strict measures of quality control; there definitely is not. I was bamboozled.

I ordered two dresses for an event. I was pleased with the selection, pricing, and ease of shopping on the site. I ordered six weeks prior to the event I needed the dresses for and received an email saying it had shipped one week after ordering. Pleased with the turn around.

The dresses never arrived. Retro-stage help suggest I check with UPS as the product was shipped and it wasn't in their hand. They said the tracking number I was given was the wrong format and they had no record of the package or of a shipment.

Tried re-engaging the help address with no response. I lost the amount I paid and don't have the dresses. I'm sure this is more a random fluke than a normal occurrence since others have lovely dresses they enjoy. I still think the selection and price is exceptional. I'm not saying don't buy from them, but beware if issues arise.

Save your money!
May 8, 2020

Save your money!
I ordered my package about a month ago and I've gotten very little information about it. I was expecting delays because of COVID19 so that isn't the main problem. What I'm upset about is the lack of information on shipping delays on their website and I paid for expedited shipping and can't get a refund on it even though they didn't uphold their claims on the website. When I try to get information on my ordered dresses I get emails that come several days later and are filled with typos and grammatical errors. And on top of that they won't directly respond to any of my questions on where my package is or how long they expect delays to be. Overall this company just screams unprofessional and I especially don't trust them because I found out they base their production in China and I personally don't believe they can get these low prices while having good working conditions. Don't waste your time and money buying dresses from these people, save up and buy a hundred dollar dress from a reliable source instead.

Attached a photo. Dress ordered on the left. Dress received on the right. I don't know if this is a joke or just a scam but I'm disgusted. Will never ever order from here again and warn anyone that so much as looks at their site.

I did have to wait awhile for my dress. And the dress is gorgeous, but a little tight. In stead of returning I opted for the 5pound refund and 25% of my next order. So lucky enough I sold my dress on to my nieces who is a 1950s queen. And just waiting for a response with my refund and 25%. But I do like the company. Selling some wonderful things.

Beautiful dresses!
April 15, 2020

I have several of their dresses, 20s flapper style. They are all so nice! Much better than I expected for the price. I'm excited to wear them on my cruise later this year, and I'm looking at the 50s swing dresses next!

Great communication
April 13, 2020

Skirt I purchased was initially sold out, I received an email right away and asked if I wished to proceed with the order. I did and received an email only a couple of days later that the shipment was on it's way! Efficient and detailed communication!

Ordered a roaring 20's dress from Retro Stage and it was fantastic. The price was great as well. My friends that bought from high price vintage stores were jealous because they paid so much more. I will be able to use this dress again and again. Sizing was perfect too.
