I was looking for some combat boot-esque shoes I could wear to work while not having to fork over the price of Doc Martens. I found a relatively cute pair on Dress Lily for a decent price, so I decided to give it a go. I also purchased an absolutely adorable skirt I couldn't wait to wear. I've patronized other "overseas" websites and never had any problems so I didn't really think much about it. First, the shipping cost was astronomical. It was almost as much as the cost of my purchase. Second, it seemed to take FOREVER for me to receive my order. When I finally did receive my order only my boots arrived, no skirt. I e-mailed Dress Lily about this oversight and they replied by telling me that the item was no longer in stock! Why was I not notified of this when I first made my purchase? Fortunately, the cost of the skirt was refunded to me almost immediately, and me, being a fool decided to purchase another super adorable pair of high-heeled booties. That package seemed to have been sent by forces akin to magic because I received it in a fraction of time I received my "combat boots". Speaking of my "combat boots", they started FALLING APART less than a month after I received them, and I hadn't even worn them very often. I consider myself fairly crafty in fixing wardrobe problems, but having to super glue my shoes every time I wear them gets really, really frustrating. I haven't even worn the other pair of shoes because I am terrified they will explode off my feet if I wear them in public. Needless to say, despite the cute clothes/shoes, and the decent prices, I will not be making any future purchases from Dress Lily again.
