  • You can't shop by size, you could spend hours looking for something there...
    Also you could end up paying vat on the items as they are sold vat free from the website.
    Finally their return policy is not very good as they can give you store credit instead of a refund:
    I will not be shopping there.

    Summer I notice this is your first and only post, do you work for them? I don't mean to be rude but I often see companies advertising themselves on these boards...


    I feel a little angry to see your reply. :(This is the first time to post, I want to share some experiece or ideas with friends in this forum. I visit this shop "dinnel", I indeed think its evening dress are beatiful and cheap. You may think their rules have problems, but don't you think their evening dresses are wonderful?

    When you post here you can't expect people to necessarily agree with you.

    The gowns are pretty but the problems I highlighted are not small.

    I think it's justified if seeing someone whose first language is obviously not English praising a Chinese website (without mentioning potential problems) made me suspicious. Particularly when you have not posted about anything else, signing up just to tell us about that website....

    I apologise if I'm wrong and I offended you. If your posting pattern proves me wrong I will apologise and make it up to you, I promise!

    Oh, Sorry for my posting pattern. I'm a student abroad, I came from China. On my wedding, we saw my friend dressing the gown I refered. She is a little fat, but her dressing is very suitable. She told us she baught it from the "dinnel" shop, and I found this is a shop broadcasting Chinese famous brand. I'm indeed glad to let more people know it. You know, many many products are made in China. But you may don't know China has very famous brand. Hope you understand my explaintion. tks. If my post troubles anyone, I 'm sorry.:)

    I was wondering if someone could help, I'm hoping to start ballet/dancing classes soon and I can't find anything in my size. I'm 18/20 and all the warm up clothes I find go up to 14/16. The only clothes sites I can find are in America, and I'm wary of buying from them incase I need to send anything. Any help will be appreciated :)

    Have you tried to speak to the person/people who will be taking your classes? They may have some ideas of where to try or what would be acceptable to wear instead. eg thin leggings + a body instead of a leotard (though you may want to sew the gusset shut instead of relying on the press-studs staying closed! :eek: :rotfl:) I don't know what level you are but I imagine there may be more leeway with clothing for an adult beginners class that a more advanced one...

    You should maybe check out ice skating web-sites for tights too (thought the sizing problems may be similar) as they are likely to have tights that have a partial foot which may be appropriate for you.

    Apologies if I've misunderstood what warm up clothing is... I never did ballet. :o

    To continue the plus sized sportswear theme...

    Does anyone know where I can get jogging/sports trousers that are quite close-ish fitting over the calves (but still allow free movement). I can find some in my size but they all have really wide legs (at the bottom of the leg) that would get caught in my ice skates. I'm size 24 and I'm not sure I want to inflict the sight of my legs on the world, so leggings are out at the mo. I'm also a bit too old to rock the legwarmer look to solve the problem either... :rotfl:

    Thanks in advance! :p
