I've done it and taken the chance!

Hi all,

I received my dress from Lightinthebox today, its very good quality, but I had it made to order, but its too big, the bust is okay, but is a good 2/3 inches too big around the middle. I,m hoping that it can be taken in, its hard to see what it looks like as it is so big. Now i,m not tiny up top and i,m now worried that it,s going to look weird, maybe I chose the wrong style, it being strapless. I don,t know if I gave the wrong measurements or they were being very generous fingers crossed it can be salvaged

Its this one if anyones interested

I didn't even want to give this site a star! I am currently in contact with trading standard and will be reporting to Google to have this site removed and banished permanently! I ordered a Navy blue dress for my engagement next month and they sent it to me in bright Green! There are also sequins hanging off by a thread! I paid £117.33 for the dress and not only is it the wrong color, the quality is disgraceful! I have contacted them regarding a refund and they will not send me an address of where to send the dress back to, they have taken it upon themselves and decided that it will probably cost too much to send make and may get lost in the post, therefore they are sorry and will give me £20 and i keep the dress! I don't want the dress and the fact they are insinuating that the dress will get lost makes me wonder more! They made the mistake and i have to pay for it?! I have asked 5 times for an address and they avoid the question! They have ruined my engagement and i am absolutely devastated because not only do i not have a dress but i also don't have the funds for the dress! When i spoke to trading standards today they told me that never trust a website with no contact number or address, this website also doesn't have a sign saying 7 day consumer, money back guaranteed although when i knew know different and looked at the return policy it looks so legit! NOT! PLEASE anyone do not use this website, the other positive feedback must be fake! even when you email there live chat, they dont respond, when they finally respond its from Hotmail accounts. This says it all!!

ZoeGM which company was it?

Would trading standards be able to do anything about a Chinese company?

Hi All,

I ordered my dress from Dressilyme in China (HK) and I'm delighted with it. It needs taking in and pressing, but otherwise it is outstanding value for money. You can see it here;

Can't wait to wear it!
TQ :j

So sorry zoegm you had such a bad experience. It is not nice when you are the unlucky one dealing with a company. Do persevere, say you are not accepting the £20 and want a full refund, end of.

Saying that, I am assuming you are talking about Lightinthebox? I am surprised because I remember that they did offer a return money back guarantee for what I remember and when I emailed them, it was never to a hotmail address. Mmmm, maybe things have changed within the last 12 months

I've been stressing out massively about the cost of wedding dresses and had come to conclusion I'd probably have to settle for something I didn't really want from the high street but that dressily me site looks great. Thanks for posting, will keep an eye on this thread in case others have some tales to tell or pics to show
