You have really attractive clothes, but they run small and only go up to smaller big women sizes to start with Wish they went larger.
First, the site has items that go up to 5X plus, but really the 5X is barely a 22W. Their dresses look very full in pix but are not IRL. Fabrics also are flimsy. May be the fiber described, but don't drape like pictured items. Colors also are often different, and trims aren't as shown. Be very wary. Items come from China and if you return, you pay shipping and any other associated costs, so unless your item was very pricy, usually it's not worth it. Once they did offer me a small discount if I wanted to keep the item. It's a shame because their stuff is lovely in pix. Just not when you get it.
Tip for consumers:
Don't assume items are as pictured, assume poor quality and difficult, pricy return if any.

I am frustrated by the number of items on this site that won't ship to PO Boxes. I also hate that the site won't just tell you an item isn't PO box eligible, it tells you "please try your order again" or "sorry, item is out of stock", both of which I've learned mean, at checkout, that the vendor won't ship to PO boxes. Just say it people!

I shop ThredUp a lot, and basically it's a good site, but often the descriptions aren't accurate, and things like side decorations aren't shown. Side slits aren't shown. Sometimes description is purely wrong - ex. Is a cold shoulder top listed as sleeveless. Fabric is hard to determine, too. Look closely at picture to try to suss out knits vs. shiny stuff, or that pimply poly/spandex blend. Don't depend on colors being true in pix. They, or your monitor, can be off. Size chart isn't always accurate. Asian 2X is not what chart says. Just shop carefully and remember you'll pay $2 for "oh, I didn't look that closely" returns.
Tip for consumers:
Look items over very closely and don't trust descriptions if item looks different.
