Can you tell me what they are like? Quality and sizing? Seen a couple of things that look nice and not expensive....

I have, a couple of times.
Once you don't expect too much for the price, their stuff is fine. Lots of polyester, but if you dig around you can find better materials there too.
Sizing is quite big, I find.
It's a good place for quick copies of designer pieces, and you can't beat the prices.

I shop there regularly. It's not the best quality but if you lower your expectations to that you would find in Primark/some New Look clothes then you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I've found their sizing to be good, if a little generous. I am a size 18 and can fit into many of their size 16 garments. Their shoes are a little on the narrow side but accurate sizing.

I love them as a quick cheap fix.

Quality on par with new look, often topshop, not as poor as primark.

Perfect for cheap dresses. I use it a lot.

Thank you! Definitly worth a try then!

I ordered three dresses from them, they arrived today.

I'm a size 8 in every shop and always have been, I bought size 8's from them. I tried the first 2 on... got them on and twice had to be forcefully pulled out, I gave up and didn't even bother trying the third one as I knew as soon as I stared to put it on that it would happen again.

Not only did they not fit but one of them didn't look how it did in the picture online... so I'm massively disappointed.

Ah I have shopped at Boohoo, and have to admit their clothes aren't the best! Its one of those - you get what you pay for sites.

I find their sizing smaller too, and I find the clothes actually look nicer on the website then they do in person. I found the same with Missguided - they are probably run by the same people!

I loveeee ASOS - slightly more expensive but lovely clothes, never had an issue with them. They do a mixture of brands too!

Also, if I find a dress I love but its too expensive, I then go onto ebay and see if I can find it there, most of the time I actually do find it slightly cheaper!

So I'm 1 and a half years late but anyways, ordered a dress from there yesterday (£18) with next day delivery, arrived today a bit on the big side (ordered a size 8 but fits like a 10) and not the colour it looked on the website it was the Frankie oversized dress in green, but it is a very vibrant green irl and on the website a lot more turquoise... I guess you pay for what you get

Yes I've bought lots from boohoo
They do free next day delivery codes regularly so I use them then.
The quality is not the best but fine for holidays or night out.
They are always up to date trend wise too.
I'd give them 8 out of 10! Smile
