If your Canadian, do not shop here. There is different shipping rules for us. Long story short, it cost me $170.00 and I got NOTHING,, NOTHING. It would cost, e more to return that what the items are worth, and snarky, bad attitude service.
What a scam!
I bought a bikini and my boobs come out of the front. I wanted to write a review but was told it would come in the email 3 weeks after purchase. Well, it has been a month. I would not recommend this seller.
I placed 2 orders from Venus in preparation for a cruise I was going on within a 2 month period. I never received my order which was in the vicinity of $600. When I contacted the company I received the worst customer service ever. The agent could not tell me what happened to my order and she did not listen to the information I was giving her. I told her I would definitely not be dealing with Venus in the future and she said thanks for visiting us and we look forward to your business in the future. Where does this company get its customer service reps. Surely such a company will not stay in business.
I ordered a dress in December and have yet to receive it. I contacted customer service, and they told me it was out of stock and to pick another dress. They didn't give me the option to get a refund first. So I picked one, and they said I had to pay another $5 to get that one, so I did via paypal. They now told me that THAT dress is out of stock too. I finally just asked them to refund all of my money, and they said that they would only refund the original amount. (which infuriated me.) AND they still have yet to refund me that! I can't find a place on their website to complain. It has been an awful experience.
I just received my order today.The sizes are hit and miss. I'm 5' 10" tall and weighs 150lbs. I wear a size Medium in blouses. Just to cover myself, I bought large. Some of the larger fit and some are to big. But I can take them in. Now my experience went decently because A) I ordered over the phone (their systems are more up to date than the internet with reference to availability) B) I bought my purchases with a Pre-paid gift card for security reasons. Regarding the quality of the merchandise - out of ten, ten being the highest, I give them a 7. I will buy from them again. If anyone has any questions regarding my experience please feel free to comment.
Jean zippers suck. I love everything else about Venus, but their jean zippers. Very cheap. I have one pair of jeans that I absolutley love, but the zipper is stuck in the down position & I cannot get it to budge. For having such well made clothes I wish they would install better zippers.

I have been ordering venus clothing for over two years now. They shipping and customer service is really good. There clothes are fashionable, however I always seem a little disappointed in their clothes because they wrinkle really easily and are a bit see trough type material. Some of their clothes are amazing but Ive never been impressed with their tank tops or their dresses. It upsets me little because they aren't the cheapest but the dresses and tank tops, even some shirts are just cheaper material.
I read this review after I paid $470 dollars. I felt so nervous, when the box got here I opened tried everything on and I am in love with the cloths, the fit, everything was perfect. I kept in mind as I ordered that the models have big boobs and I am rocking c cup but not so D. The cloths are a great fit and I am very pleased and will continue to shop with Venus. I am glad I ordered the cloths and use gut instinct before you read all negative reviews Love them...
First ill start by saying that these clothes are adorable... Online in pictures. In person these are completely different looking and fitting. Advice, order a size or two smaller then you normally order. Okay, my next complaint. I ordered 4 items online totaling about $123, then I used a $15 coupon off my order. I had to return one of the sweater dresses ($39.99) because it was huge on me. I understood that there was a return fee of $6.95. I knew that it was going too come out of my total return. What I did not know was that they were also going to apply my coupon back to my return total. So what I got back for that dress was only $17.00. So instead of evenly dispersing my coupon to each item I bought, they used the entire coupon + return fee out of my one returned item. Such bad business!
Venus charges return shipping fees 6.95 (which i was aware are of) but then out of nowhere took an additional 4.95 for "promotional shipping". I read the policy, it did not inform. Other online companies provide shipping for loyal customers in return for their business. KEEP UP VENUS! BEWARE SHOPPERS!

I ordered a coat from dressvenus for christmas it came ontime but it was just terrible the buttons were hanging off the material was thin and cheap the stitching is awful now i have emailed them but the phone number they provide is not a registered phone number. Help :(
I was dealing with them last year quality for items so pure, i purchased skirt was to cheer
And blouse with zipper change the color after 1 week
And black dress really bad quality.
As well you paying for the custom to ship in Canada and you paying return fees.
I have my anniversary this Sunday. I overnighted my order from early Thursday to Friday and they didn't ship, when I called they said it'll be delivered on Monday and there's nothing g they could do. Bad customer service, won't be shipping here ever again.
This merchandise is cheap and looks nothing like the catalog. I sent back every item purchased from this site. I did an exchange and that item garbage. The wrap dress turned out to be see thru flimsy material that did not wrap properly. I will NEVER purchase from site again!
I really want to buy swimsuits from you because I think some are really cute, however, your bottoms look like diapers due to the amount of coverage on the back. You should have evolved by now into the current century. It's not the 1900s anymore.
Omg... yup i purchased a suit dress from this site it very nice on the picture but when it arrived it looks like totally different, and of course i returned it, costumer service was very rude, and till me that it takes a month to get my refund, and it takes 5 weeks before i got my refund and took $15 for the shipping, i think this clothing company is expensive for no reason!
I was Leary at first and I admit I've bought a couple of real doozies but once you find your size, and the key is knowing your fabric... this is a great kept fashion secret! You find unusual fashionable clothing! I buy every month and the prices are great! I don't want to wear what everyone else is wearing, they're ahead of the times on some fashion. Bottom line... get to know your fabric and size and service as far as delivery... 5-10 days but you can pay and get sooner! I love this virtual store!
Hi Barbara, you just made our day! We love hearing from our customers and we are thrilled to see that you have been enjoying your experience. Thank you for shopping with us!
I am shocked to see any negative reviews for this company I have been ordering from them over 5 years and have spent thousands. I love the clothing, I love the swimsuits and I couldn't be happier with the construction or materials. I will always buy from them! As for the customer service I have only gotten the wrong size once. I sent it back with the return label they send with every order ( didn't cost a dime) and they immediately sent my proper size! Love this company and I get compliments wherever I go on my clothing!
I will never order from here again. I bought a beautiful Red dress for $54 and paid $9.95 for shipping for a cost of $63.95. The dress got here and it was awful! It was Orange! I sent it back with the label that was enclosed which they charge for you to use. Basically because the dress was orange instead of red like stated and shown, I am now out $16.90. I will stick to Old Navy... free shipping and much cheaper.
If you return you will notice a double charge for the return fee. So in reality you are paying triple. You pay shipping when they mail it. Then they deduct shipping for the return (that's understandable) but they also deduct the original shipping which you already paid. Please look at your return amount carefully. This is robbery! If you call and question it they tell you they will refund 1 shipping charge (which they had no right deducting in the first place!) Imagine how much additional money they are taking in if you don't question it? They should be reported and fined for this deceptive and unlawful practice.
We apologize for this experience. It seems that an error has been made. Being charged shipping three times is not our normal practice and we will be happy to correct this for you. Please send us a private message or e-mail us at socialsupport@venus.com.
Answer: I've been buying from Venus FOR YEARS(!) so I was so surprised at all the bad reviews. Yes, occasionally I've been unhappy with a purchase BUT it's rare; and yes, there was a couple of items that I found "cheap-looking" (but I'm super-careful to read the material description prior to purchase - sometimes you can just tell). Their sizing surprises me though... I'm usually a large in regular & a XL in juniors BUT I always wear a Medium in Venus clothing (5'1", 115 lbs, 36D) - I'm thinking that they cater to the "busty"? (Or maybe the clothes ARE made in China?) Who knows... don't care... their clothes are different from anywhere else & I always get compliments - especially from my husband! However, after 15 + yrs as a customer, I must admit I was unaware they offered free returns (good to know :), but happy I've only returned 2 or 3 items & didn't have any issues - re-packed (w/in 30 days), dropped at PO & rec'd credit on my CC. My ONLY complaint with Venus is the prices; the trick is to wait for a sale (and PS, there prices change every 24-72 hours - NOT kidding!) Everyone has an opinion... if YOU like their clothes, give them a try & form your own - you may just be missing out on fashions that'll look great on you!

Answer: THESE DRESSES RUN VERY LONG! THE MODELS TEND TO BE 5 FT 9 IN. OR TALLER! I AM 5 FEET 4 INCHES SO I DO NOT ORDER ANY MAXI DRESSES... LOOK/CHECK TO SEE IF THERE ARE PETITE OPTIONS FOR THESE DRESSES. GOOD LUCK!
Answer: The quality of these closes are horrible! I bought a sweatshirt and the large pocket on the front was down on crooked and the seams on both sides were very uneven. The $70 boots I bought were awful. They both said 7 1/2 but 1 didn't fit at all and they both had holes in the shoes.
Answer: I am a perfect size 8 in say an Old Navy sweater which makes me a M. I am a M with Venus I feel their sizes are way closer to being realistic than say Victoria Secret. Apparently at Victoria Secrets no one has arms or hips. I'm 5'5,135 lbs, size 8 in normal close yet if I pay alot of money for say a dress that dress could be a 6, like at Nordstroms, Yet if I went into say Forever 21 just to get a shirt/sweater/dress chances are I would purchase a Large because they cater to teens. Just because I am 53 does not mean I want to dress "old". LOVE Venus clothes. Their returns are fine too, I found them easy and friendly to work with. Hope this helps. Smiles, Joanne
Answer: I would go with the medium. I found they run a lil big.
Answer: Complete junk dont waste your money!
Answer: I think some of their styles are knock-offs of Cache. Unfortunately, Cache is closing shop... which really bums me out!
