Decent but the lining let me down

I've been buying garden and outdoor kit for years so I know what to look for in a jacket. This one has a good cut and the zips are sound but the lining is thinner than the photos suggested, and it snagged on the first wear. Delivery took about nine days which was fine. Customer service replied within a day when I asked about a swap. Price was good for what it is.

Needed a suit fast

Needed a suit for a funeral on short notice so I went with the cheapest option that would arrive in time. It arrived with two days to spare but the jacket sleeves were too long and I had to get them taken up. The price was good and the return process looked a bit fiddly so I didn't bother.

needed a dress for a work do

Needed a dress for a work do with not much money left after the bills, so I went for something inexpensive. The dress is a simple wrap style in navy and it's lovely on. Good quality for the price and the sizing was accurate. Delivery was quick too.

Needed a cheap dress for a friend's hen

Needed something cheap and cute for my mate's hen do in Brighton and didn't have time to shop around on the high street. Got a bodycon midi in a sage green and it's honestly really nice for the price. Colour was slightly darker than the photo but still lovely, and it arrived in about ten days which was fine for me. Would order again.

Ordered a shirt for a wedding

Ordered a slim fit shirt for a wedding and looked at a couple of other places first. The shirt is decent and the collar is well made, though the cuffs came out a bit loose. Delivery was reasonable and the price was lower than the high street. Would be a four from me.

Not as good as the high street

Compared it to Zara and honestly the Zara one was better quality for not much more. This jumpsuit is thinner than I expected and the stitching on one strap is a bit wonky. Delivery was okay though, took about a week and a half. Wouldn't rush to buy again.

Exactly what I wanted for the party

This is exactly what I wanted for my daughter's birthday party, a bright satin dress with a proper zip. I've bought a few party dresses from here before and they've always fit true to size. Ordering was simple and the fabric is nicer than I expected for the price.

Best of the cheap options

Best of the cheap options I looked at, and I looked at quite a few. The bridesmaid dress fabric felt better than the others and the sizing chart was actually accurate for once. Ordering was easy and the messages kept me updated. Happy with it.

not worth the money

Not worth the money in the end. The dress was marked down but still cost more than I'd expect for a thin cotton blend. The zip snagged on the first wear and I found the returns page confusing to work through. I'd look elsewhere next time.

Needed a coat for my sister's funeral

I needed a plain black coat for my sister's funeral and had been using this site for years. This time the coat was thinner than the one I bought before and the colour looked more grey than black. The delivery was slow and I had to chase it up. I'm disappointed as I used to think well of them.

Better than the other sites

Compared it with two other sites before ordering and this one was a bit cheaper for the same style of top. The top itself is fine, nothing special, but the colour is nice. Delivery took a while but I wasn't in a rush. Good enough for a night out.

the price is hard to beat

The price is hard to beat, the polo shirts were a fraction of what I'd pay elsewhere. I ordered a pack of three for the holiday and they arrived in good time. The fabric is a bit thinner than the photo suggested but they're comfortable enough for the price. Sizing was spot on.

Bought a jacket for the allotment

I compared a few options and went for a waterproof jacket for working on the allotment, which was a bit cheaper than the big outdoor shops. The material is tougher than I expected and the hood is well shaped. Zips feel a little stiff but they work. Arrived earlier than the estimate.

Wedding dress ordered for the garden

Ordered a chiffon A-line wedding dress for an outdoor ceremony and I was really impressed with how the fabric moved in the breeze. The lining is properly structured so it doesn't cling, and the beading is neat up close. I checked the measurements against my own tape before ordering and the fit was spot on.

quick order arrived fast

Ordered a jumpsuit on my phone during my lunch break and it arrived in four days which I did not expect. The app was easy to use even on a small screen, I just scrolled and tapped and it was done. Sizing ran a little big so I'll go down a size next time. The fabric is nice and light and I wore it to a friend's birthday already. Would order again for sure.

cheaper than the usual shops

Compared it with a couple of other online shops and this came out cheaper for the same type of hoodie. The fabric is a bit thin but it's warm enough for the weekend. Delivery arrived in around a week. Good value for what I paid.

First order here, pleasantly cheap

First order here and it was cheaper than the place I normally shop at for a similar kimono top. The fabric is light and the print looks nice in person. The delivery took about ten days which was slightly longer than I hoped. Otherwise no real complaints.

lovely cardigan for the autumn

I bought a lightweight knitted cardigan in a soft camel shade for the autumn, and I'm very pleased with it. The sleeves are a good length and the buttons feel sturdy. I found the size guide helpful and it fits as described.

my go to for cheap fashion

My go to for cheap fashion now, I've bought from them a handful of times and they keep working for me. The latest dress is a floral midi in a light crepe and it fits well. Ordering is quick and the tracking updates are useful. Would happily order again.

the silk feel of the blouse

The silk feel of the blouse is what got me, it drapes really nicely and doesn't crease when I sit down. Ordered my usual size and it fits well across the shoulders. Packaging was simple and the delivery came in a few days. Good value.
