I've tried Match.com a few times over the years with varying degrees of success. It is however getting worse.
At a guess I would say at least 50% of the profiles are fakes, and end up being deleted when subscribers complain to Match. Of the remainder there will be many who show as your matches but haven't been online for months. I once idly tried the "shuffle" feature; every single "match" suddenly viewed my profile and added me as a favourite, suspicious much? I think so and demanded my subscription fee back. Got it too that time. Why I tried again I do not know. Over 8000 views, a few dozen emails, maybe 1:20 will respond if you email first, remember you can only reply if you have a paid sub. No dates. Of those who email me, well as above at least half are clearly fakes, some are better fakes, another 25/30% are too young or too old or just appear plain odd. Remainder have nothing to say or look thoroughly miserable, probably the thought of having wasted money on Match.com

I just tried to order a dress, the site told me my card wasn't recognised and to try again, which I did, then I go the same message. The money appears to have gone out twice and my order says unpaid. PLEASE do not use this site. It seems to me to be FRAUD, I have emailed them and asked them to cancel the order and refund the money they have taken

I spoke with my bank who told me they risk assess online sites and this one failed the risk assessment and required me to contact them to confirm I had placed the order. JJs House did respond and sent me screenshots that the payments had NOT been taken, and the bank confirmed this. The bank also told me this was precautionary and she personally didn't think it was a scammer site. So I have re-ordered the dress and will update with my experience of it when it arrives.

EDIT UPDATE
After speaking with my bank and Veronica at JJs House I ordered a dress.
Expected delivery 7 November it arrived on 6th. The dress is boxed and inside the box it is inside a plastic bag.
At first glance I was shocked because it said it was chiffon but this was lining, however it was packed inside out. Quality of lining is reasonable, chiffon looks a bit cheap and there was a minor snag on the bodice. Overall I would say the dress is well made.
I was exactly a 14 on the company's sizing and the dress does fit me, it's a little snug round the middle, but that's probably more me than the dress, and a tiny bit big on the bust, but nothing anyone would notice and as it's strapless probably the way they are all made. Haven't looked in detail but the seam allowance does appear generous so you could probably let it out if needed, that said chiffon and the under material would both leave needle marks.
It is also fairly long, I'm 5'7 and even with heels it trails a bit, so if you're short look at the length carefully.

The quality is reasonable, this dress cost me £113 including the freight and the import duty (£22 to DHL). You could probably buy a dress in HoF or John Lewis for £120 and have some consumer rights. What you wouldn't have is the sheer choice of designs and colours on JJS House.
So I would say that is the balance. Do you really want that style of dress, with possibly less glamour than the photo, and no right to return it, or do you want security of return?
Make sure you check your measurements against the company chart I think a UK 14 is perhaps a bit smaller than JJS.

EDIT 2
Veronica from JJs House just called again, 8am, and offered me a refund. Totally unexpected.

Tip for consumers:
Check your measurements to the chart. Tell them if you're unhappy with anything, they do seem to take customer satisfaction seriously.
