Chi chi London dresses? *Pic included*

Anyone ordered from them before?
Is it any good or overpriced tat?

I'm going to a wedding in a couple of weeks and ordered a dress from them (had to wait for payday hence leaving it so late) and now I'm freaking out that it will be awful.

It flares out a bit at the waist but I'm scared that if it starts too high up I will look ridiculous and I'm wondering if I should be preparing a backup outfit in case it's not right.
I'm a size 8-10(ish) depending where I buy from so I ordered a 10.

Opinions/advice ?

They're cheap so I'd say they're not overpriced, but they are becoming the cheap Coast of wedding outfits, you'll always end up with someone else wearing the same thing.

It's a simple dress though so you could accessorise it in a way that makes it individual.

You might be swapping for a smaller size as I found they come up big.

They are good dresses for occasions where you want/need tk dress up but know you’ll never wear it again so don’t want to spend lots of money.

I’ve got a couple acquired from eBay so I didn’t pay shop prices for them. I was perfectly happy with the quality but they weren’t top notch, same as your average Oasis/Miss Selfridge all the other stuff in it’s price bracket.

I did find it came up big and I would size down for a proper fit. I got a lot of compliments and no one was wearing the same so you should be just fine.

I've got a couple of dresses from there although only worn one of them so far. I've been happy with the quality and for. Personally, I haven't noticed much of a difference in quality compared with other high street shops.

Average quality for the average price.
I've ordered before and found the fit good (plus size) but as a PP said they are quite popular now so you do see people wearing them at every wedding.

Thanks, I didn't order from them for any particular reason apart from the fact there was a 30% discount code on on everything.
I usually wear a knee or calf length bodycon style dresses as I usually feel too dressed up in anything flared out which is my main hang up I think.
Now I'm worried that a size 10 will come up too big aghhhh

I ordered one once.
It looked cheap, the waist was far too high up, it was hugely voluminous (far too much material), scratchy as fuck and looked really obviously like a chi chi dress. Nothing about it was right iyswim.

I hated it on me and sent it straight back.

DontCallMeCharlotte · 29/08/2018 13:05

I have one. It was lovely and surprisingly good quality for the price. It was a pretty unusual design as well (unlike a lot of them). They are quite generous with their sizing though. Keep us posted.
