I ADORE the style of the clothes they sell on this website, which is what drew me to them in the first place! I've bought a couple things from them, mostly pants, but also a jacket and some leggings. Some of the brands on here are very quality (Tripp makes especially good clothing), but the other main brand I have purchased, Current Mood, is made in China and seems a bit iffy. I purchased a pair of their vegan leather pants in size M a couple months ago--they were very tight, but after wearing once or twice, they stretched to the proper size. After wearing them for the 4th time (hadn't washed yet), they began literally falling apart, not even on the seams! They fell apart on the pocket, then ripped where the thighs rub together, and THEN the seam on the crotch ripped, all at once! I was super disappointed, especially since they were $50, but I loved the pants so much that when they went on sale, I purchased them again. I bought a size large this time with the hopes that less stretching will make the material last longer, but I'm already worried about where the thighs touch because I can feel a change in the texture of the fabric (1st wear). We'll see how long this pair lasts!

(Side note: Jacket made also by Current Mood is solid, warm, and sized properly by comparison)

I absolutely love how this website has such a huge variety of creative goods! I also love that it encourages people to not only become entrepreneurs if they've ever thought about trying it, but that it also encourages people to buy locally and support individual artists.

As someone who has a shop on Etsy (Atomik Cupcake Designs), I do find that Etsy can be somewhat costly when you're first starting up. It costs 20 cents per listing on Etsy, and they stay up for four months or until the item is purchased, at which point it can be renewed for the same price. The site also takes a small percentage of the profit from your item, so it's good to know all this and plan accordingly. However, it is a great website to get your product out there because Etsy is relatively popular, and there is real potential for success if you have the right products and a little elbow grease!

Eh. Super adorable lingerie that comes at a super high price. Unfortunately, this lingerie isn't nearly the quality I'd expect for the price, which is why I'm giving it only an average rating.

I've purchased two Victoria's Secret bras and a pair of panties from here throughout my time. The first bra was about $40, and the 2nd was on sale for $20 (orig. $40). Usually I buy my bras at WalMart or Ross (yeah yeah, I know) for between $8 and $15 apiece; those ones last me at least 3 months, but often they last much longer--up to a full year or more!

Unfortunately the first VS bra's straps were too stretched out after only the third wash (didn't have removable straps). This second one's straps are a little stretchy, but the biggest problem is that after just the first wash (with air drying!), the padding in the bra had curled out on the top edge on one side, and now you can see it through my clothes. Someone told me that I needed to hand-wash this regular cotton push-up bra... whaaat? If I'm going to spend that much on a bra, it should be made well enough that I don't need to hand-wash it for it to not get ruined! That might just be my opinion, but I'd rather the lower-priced bras that might not be as cute, but that last longer and can be washed like normal clothes without getting stretched out or lumpy.

Their shoes are absolutely adorable! I bought a pair of slouch boots from here last year, and they're the comfiest boots I've ever had.

I've ordered a couple things from them in the past... they usually ship right on time and, like I said, great shoes! However, I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 because the quality of their actual clothing is meh. The shirts I've ordered are made from a pretty flimsy fabric. The jeans I ordered were decent and lasted me about a year and a half, which isn't bad for $30 jeans, but they're very stretchy and more like jeggings than jeans. If you like this style, it's awesome, but just be aware that the clothing materials are a little lower-quality.

I've used this company a couple times via Rosegal, but this is the first time I've used the website Rosewholesale. I ordered some items back in late September (yes, September), one of which was a late anniversary gift for my boyfriend. A very, very late anniversary gift. The first two of four items didn't ship until October 23, a full month after I'd made the order. I wasn't told that the items were backordered until I asked, and even then I still only received 2 of the 4 items! If they were on backorder, wouldn't you just send the ones on time that were available instead of waiting and still sending an incomplete order?

Then, the third item finally shipped on November 6, about 2 weeks later. Yay, great! The last item--my boyfriend's gift--still hadn't shipped. After an additional 2 weeks, he was getting fed up and so was I, so I asked them if they could refund my purchase for that and just not ship it. Magically, this item shipped the next day (this would be November 21st). A couple days ago, we finally received his gift, a jacket, and it was too small, even though we took measurements before we ordered (I'm aware that this company sizes small and have always done measurements beforehand to avoid having to wait another year to exchange something).

Let's go back to that third item... my coat. It didn't have a tracking number like the other packages, even though I'd paid for my original order to include tracking numbers. I was informed that "I didn't ask for a tracking number on that package," to which I told them "I didn't ask it to be shipped separately either, so when was I supposed to let you know that I wanted one?"

It's now December 21, four days before Christmas. It has been SIX WEEKS since the item was said to have shipped, and almost THIRTEEN WEEKS since I put in the original order. Thirteen weeks=three months. 90 days. To get a $&%^ing COAT. I probably could've walked/sailed to China faster than that to get this thing. Winter will probably be over by the time I get this coat... thank goodness I ordered a different one already from Zulily (which I shouldn't have had to do). And the best part... this is the only item on my entire order (even the other separately shipped item) that doesn't have a tracking number, so no one can even tell where in the hell it is. Nice.

Customer service hasn't offered to refund me any money, not even the $24 cost of shipping, and gave me a 30% off code for my "next" order. Yeeeeah. So, if you don't mind waiting 1/4 of a year (literally) for your items, then I guess this place is okay.

UPDATE: I had finally been able to get a hold of a customer service rep through Facebook a little before New Year's Eve, wherein I was asked if I would wait yet another 7 days to see if the item arrived. Obviously, it did not. When that time passed and I asked when I could get my refund, I was asked to check with the post office first to make sure it wasn't there. Because I'm an idiot and I wouldn't have already thought to do that. FINALLY on January 9, they agreed to give me the refund.

After some more mistakes on their part where they couldn't determine the refund amount because I'd used a 10% off coupon, the measly $17 was finally returned to my account on January 29. Yeesh.

Tip for consumers:
Great for people who have memory problems...you'll wait so long to get your items that you'll completely forget ever ordering them, and it'll almost be like getting them for free when they finally show up!
