www.labistrain.com

This website has in stock a skirt that I cannot find in Coast, House of Fraser, Debenhams or John Lewis, in my size. It is a Coast skirt. I'm wondering if the website is legit. Can anyone tell please?

No idea about the clothes, but if the text is anything to go by . . . Confused

I don't feel entirely comfortable with not being able to find any actual contact details for them on their website apart from an email address.

It looks like English isn't their first language and there is no geographical address for their business, which is illegal. Both of those would put me off.

It doesn't look right, so probably isn't right.

One more thing - I strongly suspect that this is a Chinese website, although the delivery time is fairly short. The clothes may be fine, but I doubt it is an official Coast item.

What are you after? There's always someone on MN who can find it.

That's good to know. I won't chance it.

I am after a size 10 petite skirt called meslita, its like a peach colour. I can find it in larger sizes, but not in a 10. I've checked the coast website, house of fraser and john lewis. And no coast store near me or where I work sells petite stuff.

Personally I wouldn't apparently the site's based in the US and according to scamadvisor is a legit website but without Paypal protection I don't think it's worth it. There's loads of Karen Millen and Coast fakes these days and quite a few fake KM websites so wouldn't be surprised if this is a fake coast website.

There have been a couple sell on ebay in a 10 over the last few days, I'd keep a look on that.

WellTidy · 24/06/2015 14:28

I hadn't thought of ebay, thanks. I will buy the beaded top and hold onto it, incase I can then get hold of the skirt.

If you love it and can get your hands on a 12 you could have it taken in.

WellTidy · 24/06/2015 18:28

I was thinking that burnished. I have orddered a 12, and I will see. Or I could make an effort to eat loads of cake and then maybe the 12 would fit me without it needing to be altered Smile

I was going to suggest buying a larger size and getting it taken in.
