Cozzette2 Posted July 3, 2014 #1 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ok, I just asked about Whitehouse Black Market and got a ton of positive reviews. How about Lightinthebox clothes?. They have some amazing dresses and decent prices which makes me wonder if they are made in China. I have ordered a few things from China and had pretty good luck but never on an expensive gown that may need to be returned. Has anyone tried this site ?

Laurie S. Posted July 3, 2014 #2 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yes, I have several beautiful dresses from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Scrapnana Posted July 3, 2014 #3 Share Posted July 3, 2014 There have been a number of posts about this company. Some have good luck, others have major issues. If you read the reviews (not just the ones on their website) the major problem seems to be returns.

Uri1961 Posted July 3, 2014 #4 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I am going to give Lightinthebox a try. I am going to order a gown for my Feb 2015 cruise. See how it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurspag Posted July 4, 2014 #7 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I have a number of dresses from them, and love them. Measure yourself carefully, to make sure you are ordering the correct size. I love the custom option - its spot on for the sizing. Let me know if you would like to see some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeltmom Posted July 4, 2014 #8 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I have 2 gowns from them and I just ordered a 3rd! I ordered according to my measurements (size 16 :eek: by their measurements and I wear a size 10 when shopping in local stores). They did come way too long (I am 5'4") so I had to have them hemmed and they did need some adjustment around the waist/hips, but I have a fantastic local seamstress. I am attaching photos of the 2 gowns I have: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozzette2 Posted July 4, 2014 Author #9 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Wow, really pretty dresses. I have been drooling over some of the gowns and the beautiful color choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6rugrats Posted July 5, 2014 #10 Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) I personally would not order from them, but lots of people seem happy with them. Read the linked article. Be aware that most of their pictures are stolen from the original designer's webpage and your gown may not look like the one pictured.

Laurie S. Posted July 5, 2014 #11 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I've bought at least six dresses from them and they all look like the pictures on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably will order 2 of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurspag Posted July 6, 2014 #14 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I've never had any issues whatsoever with their dresses. They always look like the pictures online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeltmom Posted July 6, 2014 #15 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Not only are the dresses that I have ordered from them exactly as pictured, but they are of excellent quality materials and workmanship. My local seamstress could not believe that 1-they cam from China and 2-the price that I paid for them. She indicated that if she were to make them to order for me they would have cost me 5 times what I paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurspag Posted July 7, 2014 #16 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Often times, it seems that companies from China all get lumped together. I don't really feel that is the case with Lightinthebox. I actually did some checking online, and their reviews were excellent, overall. As to stealing pictures from other sites, I wouldn't know about that. In many cases, when they use and reuse a particular model, they give name and measurement information concerning their models. It would seem they wouldn't be able to give some of the info that they do if they were just stealing pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzisme Posted July 7, 2014 #19 Share Posted July 7, 2014 How did you find the shoulders and any gap in these made to measure dresses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousey Posted July 7, 2014 #20 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I saw a couple of things I liked on this web site and was doubtful about ordering from them as I've never ordered anything from overseas before. But, if Laurie says they're okay then that's good enough for me as I trust her judgment completely. So, I'll be ordering a few things after I get back from my cruise in two weeks and I'll share my experience with everyone here.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
