I REALLY love the dress that I purchased from SimplyDresses.com. The only problems I had were with shipping and coupons. I had to return the first dress I purchased because it did not look good on my figure. When I returned and purchased a new dress, they would not let me use my 20% coupon on the same dress. I found this to be very discouraging because I was not taking my business elsewhere. I also dislike the standard $8 return shipping fee. You should build that into the price of the dress so people have the ability to find a dress that fits their body the best!

We’re happy to hear you loved your dress! Unfortunately if you are purchasing a different style and the coupon is no longer active, it cannot be applied to a new order. We do our best to keep the listed prices as low as possible so none of the return fees are hidden within the price of the dress. The $8 return shipping label that includes tracking and insurance can be used or you can choose any method of your choice. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!

They are terrible i placed and order just within half an hour i wrote back to them and sent email to them to cancel the order, also called them and put voice message. They even hadnt shipped the order. They didn't cancel the order, also charged my credit card. I called them several times and no refund of money yet, they say while i place the order i have to get the item! Then return and then they decide how much to refund. It is terrible, i regret that i looked at their website. I should have purchased from department stores not a website that has a terrible customer service.

We purchased a white dress for our daughters graduation and when we got the dress it was actually baby blue and white. We tried to return in the very day we got it... first we were told that we needed to send a picture of the full dress both front and back. When we finally got the return authorization there is a cost to return the dress for shipping as well as a 10% restocking fee! It states nothing on the return paperwork of all these processes and additional charges... LET THE BUYER BEWARE!

We loved the dress we got for my daughter. However when we ordered the wrong size and had to return it to get the EXACT same dress there was not enough time for the "exchange". They would not let me pay for second day air out of my own pocket. Instead I had to pay the 10% restocking fee to return it when the same day I ordered the exact dress different size second day air.
I really felt jipped having got the exact dress (that was beautiful) but having he hassle we got

The dress doesn't Fit. The dress was the WRONG COLOR. The zipper keeps getting stuck.
I shop almost exclusively online. When it come to clothes I know that one must be careful because it almost never looks like the picture and often doesn't fit according to the size chart.

HOWEVER... I went all around town to 6 different stores and was unable to find anything even remotely close to what I needed for an event. So I turned to the internet. I'm a first time shopper at this website. NEVER again.
They charge fees all over the place to return or replace an item that is A.) defective since the zipper doesn't work B.) doesn't fit according to the size chart.
If I exchange it for a new one in a different size: FEES. If I return it: FEES.
NEVER AGAIN! I wish there was more I could do about it other than write a review. But alas the shopper has no power in this store. I will NEVER NEVER NEVER shop there again and I'm sorry I even went there to begin with.

We're sorry to hear you weren't pleased with your experience and the designer dress! According to your order the return authorization number was created by the customer and the reason provided was "Does not fit" with no mention of the zipper or color problem. When creating the return authorization number, it can be noted that there were issues with the zipper and the restocking fee could be waived after inspection. We could have also assisted you with an exchange if needed and the restocking fee can be waived if the dress is ordered in a different size. The return authorization information has now been edited to include the zipper problem so the restocking fee can be waived and you will be emailed once the return has been processed. We apologize for any misunderstanding!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND
May 25, 2017

My daughter and I were at the end of our search for a dress for her 8th grade prom I couldn't believe the issues I was having with finding a dress from a reputable company. Did a google search. And behold Simply Dresses, clicked on reviews saw that everyone had nothing but great things to say, so I said ok lets see. They had the dress my daughter wanted and it wasn't expensive and gave me 20% off! The dress came the next day and it is BEAUTIFUL! Highly recommend them

I paid $22 oextra on a $220 dress to get it in two days... It has been 2 weeks and i have not received the dress. I cannot review on the dress itself as i have not received it yet...
I asked for a full refund including the $22 i spaid for the expedited shipping, and they say NO. So do yourself a favor and avoid this site.

We're sorry to hear you do not have your dress! The UPS tracking number states that an attempted delivery was made on the second business day and no one was available. They are requesting that the package be signed for and it is not the request of our company. Please be sure to reach out to UPS with your tracking number so the dress can be delivered to you. Unfortunately no errors were made in the shipping so the cost cannot be refunded. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused!

Bought 2 pc dress for my daughter for Homecoming - dress arrived quickly, fit perfectly (Size 4) and was everything she wanted. The day of Homecoming was busy you know how it is hair, nails, makeup then photos, the dance and then off to dinner with friends. My daughters event started at 6 and went until 9. She got dressed about 5:30 for photos and I dropped her off at the dance around 6:30 by 7:45 she had called me to tell me that the elastic in her top broke and since the top had built in cups she had no bra on that unless she held her top she would be exposed. Since she did not want to leave the event I had to take her a sun dress so she could finish her evening - she felt so awkward going back in and then sitting at dinner with all her friends. When I contacted the Simply Dresses and advised them of the issue and sent them photos they offered me $15 so I could have the elastic fixed. Kind of a slap in the face considering I paid $178 for a dress that she did not even get to wear the whole evening and had on a little over 2 hours. I was not asking for my money back or a full refund I simply asked for the top to be replaced and instead get offered $15. I attached what the top is supposed to look like and what it looked like after the elastic in it broke.

Refund of shipping
December 5, 2022

Ordered 4 gowns from this company and was charged the rate for shipping the 4 gowns
Simplydresses could not fulfill my order and only sent 3 dresses and was only refunded for the dress not the extra shipping amount it cost to order 4 gowns to the price it would of cost to order 3. It was a difference of like $30 to $40 AUD
CONTACTED them and they are just dodging my emails and refuse to refund I will not let this go as the is the second time they have done this so will contact afterpay and send through all the details as I have checked on many occasions just to make sure that there is a price difference between the quantity of items that are ordered for the calculation of shipping

The site was very easy to use with many selections. This is my first daughter homecoming and didn't want to break the bank. I found her a beautiful dress under $100 and she loves it!

Flattering fit
February 28, 2017

The dress itself was very flattering and true to color. Was plenty long enough for me (5'8) to wear heels with. Only complaint is that it showed up a day later than I was expecting.

They have a very short return policy which is terrible when you are trying to decide on dresses. They make no allowances. I would not bother ordering from them nor would i recommend.

A return authorization number for a return must be obtained within 14 days of receiving the dress. The item must be postmarked within 5 days for a free return shipping label, but this does not mean the item can no longer be sent back. Please message us with your order number if you need any assistance. We apologize for the confusion!

MISTAKE!
March 16, 2017

WE WENT WITH SIMPLY DRESSES BECAUSE OF "GREAT" REVIEWS FOR MY BEST FRIENDS WEDDING... WE ORDERED THE COLOR JADE AND WERE SENT KELLY GREEN INSTEAD. WE WERE NEVER ONCE CONTACTED ABOUT OUR COLOR NO LONGER BEING AVAILABLE, SO BASICALLY SIMPLY DRESSES JUST CHOSE THE COLOR FOR MY FRIEND'S WEDDING. THE ONLY THING THEY HAVE OFFERED TO DO SO FAR IS REFUND $25.00 ON EACH DRESS SOLD WHEN WE TOLD THEM WE DO NOT HAVE TIME TO RETURN THEM... $25.00 REALLY? WE HAVE $500.00 INVESTED IN FLOWERS TO MATCH THE JADE DRESSES WE WERE SUPPOSE TO RECEIVE...

I am really sad for the money that I put to buy this kind of low quality, the fabric is to thick and the size is to big from the sides, also the bedding it is not on the right spots as the pictures showing online, I am really not satisfied with what I got, the dress dose not worth the money that I did pay!

I must add to my previous review that Simply Dresses was kind enough to waive the restock fee as I reordered my dress in a larger size! Thank you for listening to your customers!

Tried two dresses
True I am large but both dresses didn't even come close and I ordered much larger sizes
The hook is when they make you pay a restocking and shipping for their ceappy methods of doing this
I WILL NEVER ORDER FROM THEM
