Has anyone bought any clothes from Lindy bop? I love vintage/50's style and buy a lot from Collectif,Lady vintage and Hell bunny. Someone on here mentioned Lindy bop and I have had a look.

Clothes look lovely but surprisingly cheap so am unsure of quality. Has anyone on here used them? Thanks.

I've just bought 3 for my bridesmaids and am pleasantly surprised with the quality for less than 40 quid each. The fit seems pretty good too.

They're massive Sad. I bought some gingham 3/4 length trouser thingies (technical description) in a 12 (I was verging on a 14 but optimistic). I'd have had to go down two sizes to get them to fit. No waist either - same size at waist as at hips.

Also bought the gingham (theme here) wiggle pencil dresses in a 12. Probably size too big in those (again, verging on a 14).

I've lost a stone since I bought it all, so none of it fits now, but I did think the quality was absolutely fine given the price. I'd say size down 1-2 sizes though.

I've had a cardigan and some incredibly cheap petticoats off Lindy Bop. Which I l9ve.
The dress I've got doesn't really fit well but the quality is great it's just my body Grin

I have several things from Lindy Bop, quality is good and I wear three skirts in rotation every week and wash well. I also have a 5 dresses and a jumper, no complaints!

I've only bought one item from them and it was of extremely poor quality.

Thin, stiff and scratchy material with absolutely zero stretch to it so was super uncomfortable despite being the right size.

Sold it on eBay and haven't bought anything else.

I have lots of dresses and skirts. A couple of problems with them - one dress had a mark on that wouldn't wash out but LB credited me the full price of the dress immediately and didn't want me to return it, so as the mark is in a place usually covered by a cardi, I have been able to wear it with no issues. One time a button broke on my skirt, I contacted them for a replacement button which they couldn't do but again credited the full price of the skirt so once I had sewn on a different button I had another free skirt.

I find they need to be washed carefully or they can shrink, but I put mine on a 0°C delicate wash and don't tumble dry them. Great value dresses in my opinion with good customer service.

I love their Ophelia dress. Bought one in red but after wearing it twice it's now too big. So bought the same one again in a smaller size. The cost of returns is shocking though. Their T&Cs say you have to send returns back with tracking. Cost me over £7 to return a £21 dress. Won't order from them again.

I think they're excellent quality for the price. Also free delivery and they arrive within a couple of days.

I don't rate them. Although I have only ordered one dress. Very polyester- the type that makes your hair stick up when you take it on and off. It went straight back.

I have never returned using tracking - just £2.80 second class and no issues. Also if you pay via paypal they will refund you cost of return on up to 12 things a year I think it is. Always comes in handy for Lindy Bop. I find the sizing is absolutely wild and have things which are one size smaller than I am up to three sizes bigger than I am. I usually order a few sizes to find a fit. Buttons are poorly stitched on so watch out for that but still one of my go-to sites for a dress.
