Has anyone ordered anything ? Are the clothes nearly as nice as pictured, or of the cheap, itchy, schein variety ?

I ordered wedges and a beach dress. Both absolutely lovely

I've just ordered this dress so fingers crossed it's as nice as I hope it is.

I ordered a dress for a night out, it was lovely and the same as it looked in the pictures. I think they use individual designers though so couldn't say for definite that everything is the same quality but I was very happy with the dress I ordered.

Fine if you like polyester! Otherwise, a bit disappointing

I have one dress from there and the style is nice but the fabric is very cheap and nasty. The returns policy is a nightmare too as different sizes of the same dress had to be sent back to different addresses so need to pay more than once. I wear the dress but wouldn't order from them again.

I had a bad experience with Silk Fred. I ordered something I liked the look of - a top - it was cheaply made, very poor look polyester (I'm not against polyester generally but this was v. poor quality) and it wasn't anything like as nice as it looked in the picture.

It put me right off them and I'd never order from them again.

They have lots of brands on there but my favourite is dancing leopard, I have got some decent dresses from them and the great thing is that they’re very predictable - everything fits pretty much the same and is the same sort of material

The downside is that you have to pay for returns (how vintage is that?!) so beware of ordering from lots of different brands as they all get posted separately and then you have to return to multiple places at your own cost

I ordered the Fleabag jumpsuit from them - not amazing quality but it was only 38 quid so can't complain.
Very long jumpsuit btw, need to be tall to wear it

I ordered two dresses from them that were nothing like the pictures on the website. Sent both back and won’t buy from them again.

@ShirleyPhallus I've just checked and my dress is also Dancing Leopard

Mammyloveswine · 27/10/2019 15:36

Oh dear hope my dress looks ok! I've recently lost 1.5 stone so hoping to wear it for date night on Thursday!
