Wishing I had found this site before foolishly ordering a prom dress from this company for my daughter this evening! I obviously haven't received the dress yet so can't comment on it but, after reading reviews on this site, I'm not feeling very positive about what it will be like. Strangely, there are some very positive reviews on this site too, can any of them please comment on their experience and were they genuinely happy with what they received, quality, value for money etc. I've contacted my bank for help as I also believe they have claimed more money than authorised which is surely fraud!?
Firstly this site is based in Hong Kong but use a UK web address. I ordered a prom dress for my 16 yr old daughter which she saved up for. We purchased the dress as shown on Shilla's website with no alterations in a size 10. What we were delivered looked like it had been made by a 6 yr old. We have been refused a refund and told that we should sell the dress or alter the dress ourselves. When I say it was bad my daughter could not even zip it up as the back of the dress seems to be a size 5 and the rest a size 8. They have made a derisory offer of 30% of the purchase price of £120.00 Even their reviews are false for every poor review they get they then post 3 false reviews to make it look like they are a Half decent company! PLEASE TRUST ME AND DO NOT BUY!
They took more money out of my account that I agreed to pay, they delivered the wrong dresses (full sleeves instead of sleevless), will not accept blame. Initially they asked me to have the dresses fixed locally and they offered a partial refund which turned out to be 8%! I pointed out their website says they will remake the dress if the customer is unhappy and they said they would but would charge an additional "material fee". I pointed out their site says they will waive this fee if it is their mistake. They responded they would offer a £ 10 refund (less than their first offer!). Absolute nightmare to deal with! Have contacted Trading Standards. Avoid at all costs! It is a shame as the dresses were actually pretty and well made... just not the right dresses!
The design of the dress is very unique and it looks very good on me. I love the halter neckline and the split of the skirt very much. Thank you so much.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE IT IS RUN BY THIEVES THAT WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY AND NOT SEND ANYTHING, YOU MAY AS WELL BURN YOUR CASH. I ALSO SUSPECT THAT THE POSITIVE REVIEWS ARE WRITTEN BY PEOPLE CONNECTED WITH THE COMPANY... CHECK OUT THE SIMILAR REVIEWS.
Unfortunately I ordered 3 dresses from this company thinking they were based in the UK. The dresses finally arrived after about 3 weeks from Singapore, all too smal & after numerous emails, no refund has been offered. Bad luck to them.
I have ordered dress.
Did come late with express delivery- awful quality. Mislead to believe it is UK website dresses come from China in China quality not uk standards. Rip off. More money taken from my account then agreed.
Customer service doesn't exist- answer mashine with broken English only...
Do not buy you WILL cry..
Still waiting for daughters dress 4 months! Do not use, all 5 star reviews are false. Referred to TS.
I was reading these reviews and I was scared to receive my prom dress in the mail. But it is beyond beautiful. It was designer quality, fitted nicely and it shipped a week before expected. My experience with this company was a great one and I will purchase from them again. I look forward to prom and getting to wear such a stunning and unique dress.Do keep in mind sizing though, I did ask them to alter something I dont think they did however its an easy fix.
I had my wedding dress delivered today earlia than expected and its exactly what i ordered i am overwhelmed with it. Thank you sooooo much i would very happily order another dress without any fail :)
Ordered a dress from here for a ball. It arrived very late from China and is probably the worst quality piece of clothing I have ever seen, sequins falling off when I held it up, horrible cheap material and a suspicious smell that made me gag! Again, not offered a proper refund despite the fact it was about 3 sizes bigger than the measurements I had given. Feel quite embarrassed that I've fallen for the scam now having read these reviews, please don't do the same!
Be suspicious of the positive reviews - all spelt wrong, broken english, my bet is they all work for / paid by the company. Very clever on their part but please don't be the one to fall for it, you WILL regret wasting your money.
Save your hard earned money and buy from a reputable coompany. The dress u will receive will not be the dress on their website. Another part of the Shillas company that are being sued for counterfeit products! Dress arrived, completely made wrong (all my sizes where correct as I got dressmaker to check) had alterations done locally as i wouldnt have time to organise another, cost an additional £65 got an email back saying they would only refund £15 alteration fee also said they had already paid making the dress etc. So all in the dress cost £180 with no hope of refund or resolution. Also they make out this is a uk site it isnt they are based in china! Referred to trading standards and watchdog
Me and my sister ordered 2 dresses for £220 for a friends occasion, also paid for express delivery for a specific delivery date. Both dressed where delivered 3weeks post agreed date, both dresses in wrong colour and wrong sizes, way too big, they were custom made, material for one dress is average and for the other dress is the cheapest material which tears as you wear. The company is in china and noone ever picks the uk phone which they have on their website, they dont reply emails, basically, customer service is non existent, its a foreign company just deceiving people through good advertising, but ripping them huge, with little people can do to stop them as they are foreign based. All I can say keep away, be warned, I learnt the way.
Wow, the dress fits my daughter very well. She is so beautiful in this dress. It is the first time we bought dress on your website and we will come here in the future. Thank you.
Your service and patience are really great. Thank you very much for your kind service. You are so sweet and nice.
The dress is fabulous and arrived in time. It is for my competition in my college and it is totally attractive. More than the price I paid. Just need a slight alteration for perfect fitting. Thank you very much.
I ordered a dress it took almost 3 weeks for the dress to come and when it came, it came in the wrong size, What were supposed to be individual stones were actually cheap sequins. I asked for a refund. A dress that I paid £115 for they are only offering £15 back as a refund. Outrageous! Please do not patronise this website. DONT ORDER FROM THEM THEY ARE SCAM
Bought a dress 16/02/16 and wouldn't use for a dish cloth! Very poor quality!
Posted in a very small plastic bag, looked like a rag rather than a wedding dress! Also said on postage it was a coat and only cost $20
Heartbroken! They are obviously ripping off government!
Please never buy from this site, what they show on the website it is totally stealing an American images. Bought a sequence dress its a total disaster. When asking for a refund, ask to send pics of what's wrong, the quality of the dress is bad. A total scam
Amazing that the three reviews posted following mine being published all refer to how perfectly made their custom dresses are. However the wording used and sentence structure is also somewhat interesting.
Answer: Started as shilla but got sued then changed to shillas
Answer: Don't do it, don't waste your money! Negative comments are spot on. Quality dire
Answer: Hi there, the credit card company sent me a claim form after I rang them. I provided all the corresponding emails, copies of their returns policy, a link to the website, and an explanation of what had happened. It took about a month to come back, but they refunded the whole lot without quibble, as the returns policy is basically an untruth. My credit card is with HSBC. I strongly advise anyone to take the time and effort to do this and get their money back as the website is just full of untruths and it's not right or fair to anyone! Good Luck Migle M!
Answer: With all my heart, I wouldn't go to the company. They are awful. I've never dealt with such a terrible company and the clothing is. Heap and nasty. So please don't use them. Go elsewhere! Enjoy!
Answer: I just can not believed how this website can carry on stealing customers money. Something have to be done! I am livid with Linda's promises to refund my £236.98 since March. I do not recommend anyone to buy from this website unless you got to much money to burn. I sincerely wished I read their reviews before I put my order in which I cancelled but still have not got my money back!
