Bettie has always been a great store and web site. They've recently decided to rebrand and will be under a new name, but may still keep the Bettie page name up? Not sure.

Anyway, I love their clothes and am a huge fan of vintage fashion, so I couldn't be on a review site about shopping and not mention them!

I've always gotten my orders in a timely manner, and they've never gotten anything wrong. They have a new collection featuring Dita Von Teese, so I do have one slight criticism there.

I adore Dita, and if she's not a modern icon for vintage fashion, who is, right? Well, Bettie Page is made in China according to all the labels, and the materials they use is a solid 7 out of 10, and is priced just fine. You will pay about $60-$200 for a dress on average. That's not bad, and they do look great, so it's reasonable enough.

But. All the Dita items are priced much, much higher without necessarily being made with higher quality fabrics.

They ARE gorgeous, but are they worth $400+ a pop?

I would suggest going to the physical store in person and trying them on before you buy.

I love shopping Unique Vintage both in the store and online. I LOVE their clothes!
If I go in person, I always leave with numerous dresses, so sometimes I shop online to control myself.

The only slight criticism I would have is that they require signatures on even small purchases upon delivery which can be a real pain if no one's home. Other than that though, no problems at all.

I kept seeing the cutest pink pea coat all over the web, but every other site showed that it was sold out. Then I saw it in my Facebook feed by Rose Wholesale. I knew it could be dicey, but the price was cheap, so I went ahead, but stuck with just that one item.

It arrived today, after what has probably been close to 8 weeks, and just is not the same item as in the photo. Firstly, the material of the coat I liked in photos looked to be some kind of good wool/cashmere blend. Sturdy stuff, and you know, coat material.

What arrived has the same weight and feel as a baby blanket or some fuzzy pajaam pants. It's soft, but more like velour, and has no real shape other than for the ruffle effect as seen on the original coat photos.

I think what this company does, is take images of various products from all over the web, throw them up for sale, then they make something 'kind of like it' and send it to you. That's probably not legal, but since they're in China, it would be hard for anyone to do much about it.

I have an excellent credit card company, so even though it wasn't much money (about 40 bucks?) I'll go ahead and get the charges reversed.

I will mail them back the coat to be fair, but I'm not going to even try dealing with the nightmare of communicating with them as I've already read THOSE reviews!

Just check out their response below! They obviously copy paste their replies without even reading the reviews. They're saying the item was 'damaged" LOL
I received it TODAY and still have it, so how would they have photos of a damaged item?

After claiming the 'damage' they ask me for the order number, because of course they have no idea which item I'm even talking about.

Nope, no scam there, guys!

Save your money.

I love Amazon, have a Prime membership, and order from them constantly. I've never had a problem receiving anything when it came directly from them. If something is shipped by another seller, I have had to check up on an order before, but still always got it and was happy with it.

Definitely worth a visit!
