It has its pros and cons, so if you don't like shopping online/worry about return policies, you should definitely be careful with what you buy.

I bought a jacket from this site about a month ago and I just now got my order in today. While I understand that it's shipping from China, I've ordered things from all around the world and often have received those items before things I've ordered from my own country.
That said, I didn't need my purchase by a specific time, so the wait wasn't a huge deal to me.

My issue is that the sizing was off. DEFINITELY BE WARY OF THE SIZING.
The particular jacket I bought was supposed to fit a little large and long, almost to be worn loose like a cardigan. The starting size already said it was large (I think it was something like 40"-42" across the chest) and, since I'm a bit busty, I decided to go one size larger so I could for sure zip the jacket up if I wanted to.
What I expected from the jacket was a long, loose-fitting 1X-2X. What I got was a jacket that stopped at the top of the thighs and fit like a medium.

I was at least lucky that my sister was actually able to fit the jacket. So, while I am a bit disappointed with the sizing and in the fact that I won't be able to wear it, at least I don't have to worry about paying for return shipping.

The actual jacket wasn't as cheap as I expected it to be. It was about what you would expect for $15-$25; on par with something you might buy at a Forever21, maybe at Old Navy.
The material was light, but warm enough for a chilly day.

The site itself is okay, has a pretty large variety of items, and the prices are pretty solid. From the other reviews I've seen, all the other items you can buy, like jewelry, watches--anything aside from the clothes, it seems--seem to be pretty consistently satisfactory.

So, TL; DR: be careful of the sizing, just know you get what you pay for.

Tip for consumers:
The shipping will probably take some time to get to you. Between 2-5 weeks seems to be the consistent numbers I'm seeing.

The clothes seem to be a crapshoot, just be aware of that.

I've been buying from ModCloth for about 4+ years now. I don't buy from there very often (it can be pricey) but over the years I've accumulated a fair amount of items from their shop and I've been consistently pleased every time.

I'm plus-sized and it's difficult to find shops that sell such a variety of style types, fun patterns, and flattering cuts.

I will say, though, if you're the type to buy without reading the review, it is always worth it to give a good read. Despite a vast majority of their clothes being top notch, there are always going to be some sub-par ones.
Though, their return policy is great, so if you choose to buy first ask questions later, they've got your back!

The title pretty much encompasses how I feel about H&M.
I bought a really great black skirt from there that I wear all the time with almost everything, as well as great athletic shirt from the men's section.

The home section is also pretty good, as well, as you can get anything from duvets and towels to plates and candles for a good price (and all at a steal if you get them on sale!)

I think that overall the shop has a wide variety at quite a good price range.

My only issue is that, while the plus-size section is good, it's very simple. The regular sizes in women's clothes has oodles of pages with wide varieties of patterns, colors, and cuts. Heck, even the men's section has a pretty broad range, but the plus size section is severely lacking, with the entire section taking up no more than 4 or 5 pages.

Though a bit disappointing, it's a good go-to place if you want your basics and I imagine I'll continue shopping there.
