    Hello all!
    So numerous times, on my Facebook, ads by Dresslily.com have popped up with fab dresses that I think would suit the curvier ladies amongst us! Has anyone ordered off them? What's the deal with stuff arriving from the US and tax etc? What are their sizes and quality like?

    Thanks in advance:)

    They’re a Chinese knock-off site. If you order something, you’ll firstly be lucky if it arrives at all. Then you’ll be lucky if you don’t get caught for customs. Then you’ll be lucky if it looks anything like the item you ordered. And if you’re very lucky, it might even fit! :)

    In short, don’t bother!

    I'm starting to think that 'dress' in the name and ad on Facebook is enough to tell it's Chinese knock off site. They all seem to use exactly the same formula.

    Pretty much. It’s basically a tell if it looks too good to be true. Loads of gorgeous clothes at very affordable prices on a site that advertises heavily on Facebook yet you’ve never heard of it talked about = a Chinese knock-off site.

    And I think they are all essentially the same company, with dozens of different sites hoping to catch the poor unsuspecting bargain hunter out.
