I keep having adverts for SilkFred clothes pop up on my fb feed. They look nice but quite cheap, which rings alarm bells... has anybody bought stuff and if so, what did you think. Looks like you have to pay to return so dont want to end up wasting money...

Made the mistake of buying a shirt dress which looked great on the model. On me...not so much!! Didn’t realise I had to pay to send it back either but thankfully was only a light item. It’s put me off buying again because I normally order a couple of sizes for a good fit. Quality seemed ok, but for the price would have expected better.

I liked the look until I noticed they wanted women to look like babes at work so I've not bought on principle.

I bought a black floaty dress, it's more of a long top on me but I really like it with black jeans.

Hmmm thanks for feedback. Will maybe chance one item to get a feel for quality/ sizing etc...

It isn't one store. It's a bunch of designers/manufacturers on a marketplace.

As @DianaT1969 said.
My brand was sold on there, charged 30% for the privilege with no marketing and hefty admin.
It's a hot bed of different retailers all vying for space. SilkFred then VM the site with the most popular at the top (so if you're wanting to avoid wearing the same as anyone else to a particular event, go a few pages deep!)

Clothes look nothing like they do on the models. Often thinner fabric, stupidly short and teeny tiny
Quality is like you get off a market stall but very variable as they are simply a shop front for a load of labels
Delivery takes ages
You have to pay to send back. Don't do what I did and order 5 items as they will be from 5 different companies and you will have to pay 5 times to send them back.
Refund takes ages

Ps I only ordered when they had a big sale, not too sure if I would have purchased at full price.
