I had been looking for a reasonably priced flower girl dress in black with zero success. I found LITB online and was really skeptical due to the mixed reviews.

After watching some youtube unboxings and seeing some of the items, I decided to do a cheapish order as a test to see what the quality was like and if it was as described. I received one dress for $8 AUD for myself which was a bit meh (I mainly ordered it to see whether the sizing was right and it was) but the flower girl dress I ordered for $25 AUD was exactly as pictured and the sizing was spot on.

It does take time for orders to be processed - they make the items once ordered so it is usually about 3 weeks on top of delivery. I didn't get charged any extra duty either.

My second order was for a petticoat and the dress I was really after which was around $110 AUD. It is exactly as the pictures. The quality is amazing especially for the price and the dress is heavy. I can sew but I doubt I could make it myself for the same price as the fabric alone would have cost more.

Please note the photo of the second dress is a bit poor. I made it a bit high contrast to show the detail and the dress is straight out of the packet - unwashed, unironed.

I ordered this in black
What I received - pictures don't do it justice

This is the worst company I've ever encountered. I have never in my life written a negative review for a company but was so compelled to do so after my terrible experience. I was forced to purchase from them as my future sister-in-law chose the bridesmaids dress from this site for their December wedding 3 months away. I just had a baby 1 week ago and this is not a good time at all for me to purchase a dress due to pregnancy weight gain so therefore I wanted to possibly order 2 dresses in 2 different sizes and keep the one that fit best and return the other. I do a lot of online shopping and this situation would normally not be any sort of issue with any company I've ever purchased from. As this is a company I have never heard of in my life and was not be aware of their credibility/policies, I wanted badly to contact the company directly and speak with someone in person to check their return policy. There is no customer service number on the site anywhere. The only "customer service" available is to have an online chat. The problem is the hours where this is available is between 7 pm-7 am (10 pm-10 am EST) so the majority of those hours are during the night... this makes absolutely no sense. The "customer service rep" I spoke with, Vincent, could not have been any more unhelpful. I explained to him my situation and asked about the return policy and his response again and again was "I see." Eventually after more prodding on my part, he said " perhaps online ordering isn't the best choice for you."

This was the most frustrating experience I've ever had in my life dealing with a company. I cannot imagine many Americans purchase from this site as no American I know of would put up with this. This company does not seem to care at all about customer service.

Hi Kristen,

We are sorry for all the inconvenience. But for us, most of our dresses are custom-made, most of the time we cannot accept our customers return the dresses if there is no quality issue. We have to care about the loss, as we run real business here. We hope you can understand us.

Sincerely,
Lightinthebox
