TLDR; Be wary about potential shipping issues. The site mainly publishes biased good/high ratings reviews. Relatively good/responsive customer service.

For my first time, I took a risk here to order a blouse and a petticoat. The site offers affordable/decent pricing and doesn't look as sketchy as other sites. The order took a while to arrive, but I got a text from DHL about the delivery. During that time, I wasn't home and I ordered from multiple places, so I went to MLD to check the order status which told me it was still "processing". It turned out the item never arrived when I got back from school, but I had a gut feeling that the package came from MLD despite the order status. I didn't had time to contact the seller, Linda until a week later, and she told me the package was delivered. I checked the order status again and the same "processing" status remains. So that started the entire time consuming process of contacting DHL to open an investigation. I kept Linda updated on the progress and got a refund from her after having some discussion. Despite the fact that the fault lies with DHL, the entire ordeal could have been dealt with sooner if the seller updated the order process. However, Linda was very responsive during that time, so it wasn't an entirely bad experience despite the complications.

I decided to give this place another try, ordering a different blouse and petticoat that didn't take long to process. This time MLD kept up to date with the ordering process, but I received no tracking number or notification about the arrival (Paid for the same shipping service from the first order). Luckily someone was home to receive the package for me. I left a 5 stars review for the petticoat and an overall 3.5 stars review with some criticisms for the blouse. For the 3.5 stars review of the blouse, I mentioned that it was more sheer than I expected from the pictures and I had trouble buttoning and unbuttoning the blouse due to the tight fitting of the holes. I'm aware that the sleeves are very sheer, and there's a slight degree of sheerness for the body of the blouse. But when I tried it on, you can see my bra very clearly. Apparently the 5 stars review got published but not the 3.5 stars review, which is pretty biased. I feel that the things I pointed out are relevant for future buyers as there was no description or clear pictures of that anywhere. Don't get me wrong, the blouse is very adorable but not what I was expected.

I've only use Groupon a few times, mostly for services, and I don't really have any problem with any of them. I usually read all the fine prints and do some quick research about the business/deal being offered before I purchase them. I know this method doesn't always work, but it's a good preliminary process to reduce the chance of getting into problem.

The site overall is pretty easy to use. Nothing too complicated, although I wish there's some kind of reminder for when a service you buy is about to expire.

The shipping was pretty quick in my opinion despite where it was shipped from (and I only used standard shipping). I was excited when the package arrived but soon felt greatly disappointed at the cheap materials of the clothes.

I ordered a blouse, a midi skirt and a short skirt. Everything fits perfectly fine on me, but like many people mentioned the size runs pretty small as expected of standard Asian size. Despite the really nice floral pattern, the blouse was very flimsy and it feels like I can easily tear it without any effort. I've brought other blouses with similar feel of material and it was fine when I put it in the washer. However for this blouse, it got ripped at the strangest area (along where the buttons are even though I didn't buttoned the blouse) after being washed in gentle cycle. The midi skirt was ok. Partially lined so it wasn't completely see through but the texture feels a bit weird. The short skirt, however, is completely see through so I would have to wear something underneath.

I really wanted to return the short skirt but they seems to have very strict return policy and it's not worth paying for return shipping compare to how much I might get refunded.
