Has anyone bought from Cider?

I'm trying to put together an outfit for the Taylor Swift Eras tour later this year. I want to go all out glitter ball, but without spending a fortune as I'm not going to wear it again!

Is Cider any good? Longevity of clothes not an issue as it really is going to be a wear once deal. I just worry about either being scammed by getting sent clothes that are nothing like the picture, or the sizing being completely off.

Anyone used them before?

My daughter recently bought the pink sequin skirt. It seemed reasonable good quality for the price and arrived quickly. She decided not to keep it so I sent it back and got a quick refund. So all seemed ok.

My daughters best friend buys loads off there, it's always looks really nice and she's never had any problems.

I have 🙋🏼‍♀️
I ordered a bodysuit. It's great quality, and fits lovely. £13. I'd buy from them again

Yes , their comms were excellent .

My daughter's prom dress came from there it's lovely and was only £20 .
I've also noticed some nice cider things in charity shops .

Oh brilliant!! Thanks all. I can start adding sequin body suits to my basket now 😁

They're Shein with better marketing, so the service will be fine but it's horrible fast fashion.

FlatWhiteExtraHot · 22/02/2024 14:51

Their stuff is really nice and better quality than SHEIN, but I find the sizing really dodgy. Everything is massively long and unlike SHEIN where I can just buy the size I am, with Cider I ended up returning half of it for a smaller or bigger size.

I got my sparkly Eras stuff from Vinted. I’m never going to wear it again so I’ll just put it back on there after the concerts.

fantasmasgoria1 · 22/02/2024 15:10

If you have a look a lot of their stuff is actually on shein. They must use the same suppliers etc. people think cider is better but it all comes from the same places.

SirSamVimesCityWatch · 22/02/2024 15:30

I thought about vinted but I can't be bothered creating an account. I'm not really into fashion / shopping so I'm not going to use it again. Plus if it doesn't fit I want to be able to return it.

I agree that it is horrible fast fashion, but as a one off I am ok with it, considering how little clothing I buy overall.

I bought a shirt off them. It is nicer than the pictures showed. It took a while to get to me. They included a measuring tape as a free gift so I guess their measurement might vary with each item so work check.

Exhaustedineedhelp · 22/02/2024 23:01

I have I really liked everything and it came quickly

TrtseHkpr · 25/02/2024 13:19

They're cheap and cheerful, the sizing can be a bit small but everything I ordered turned up and was okay quality

Alwaystransforming · 25/02/2024 13:23

I find it’s hit and miss. Their wide leg trousers were shocking. I am quite tall and they were so long I couldn’t even wear them with platforms. They were flattering and despite me measuring myself they were so big I could fit both legs in just of the trouser legs.

However, I got a couple of cardigans and they are fab quality. They have a bit of weight to them, so hang lovely. They have washed well and still going a year later event after regular wear

Greenly3 · 25/02/2024 19:17

Yes it was all fine a bit on the small side so order up. My problem was in returning the things that didn’t fit! Wouldn’t order from the, again for that reason.

Pyaar · 26/02/2024 07:36

Just a note on returns, I think you only have 2 weeks to do the return which isn't a problem if you're paying attention.. Don't get stuck with a load of unwearable items like me 😂 (unwearable due to size not quality though)
