Conclusion
Reviews show clear strengths: many customers praise the brand’s vintage styling, authentic-feeling fabrics and fast dispatch, with several noting flattering fit and careful packaging. However, a consistent minority report quality problems such as uneven hems, lack of lining, early rips or holes, and creased delivery, which has driven concerns about value for money. Customer service and communication are often cited positively—examples include quick replacements, accommodating exchanges and helpful email responses. Prospective buyers should check sizing carefully, read the returns policy (some reviewers noted return costs), and inspect items on arrival; minor finishing issues may be fixable, but several reports describe more serious durability problems.
