LightInTheBox.com Review
LightintheBox.com has been known to sell knock-off formal dresses
After investigating LightintheBox.com, it has been discovered that this website is from Asia and they sell formal dresses that are not from the original designer, but copies that they make based upon a picture. LightintheBox has been added to our Do Not Buy list. They may be illegally selling one or more dress lines using the manufacturers pictures or pictures from actual people without their permission. These dresses are imitations and not authentic from the actual designer. Buyer beware!

"Ordered a crystal wedding sash to wear with my wedding dress. Placed order 4/8/18 and according to shipping timeline it said I would have it in plenty of time before the wedding. My wedding was 4/28/18. The package arrived 2 days after my wedding!!! I will never order from them again!"
"Avoid the Chinese shops. They will never turn out the way you imagine, especially for wedding gowns. The shipping will take forever and the return policy is not worth it."

BUYER BEWARE, I would like to share my experience for those trying to decide of they should click “place my order”, or move on. If you do order from this company, be prepared to keep whatever they throw in your mailbox, they make returns very difficult if not impossible.
Although the clothes are cute and the quality appears to be satisfactory, the sizing is NOT accurate. I ordered three tops in size “M” and only one actually fit. These items are much smaller than a typical M in the US marketplace. Tried to initiate a return and things got really frustrating. Ten days of back and forth, requesting pictures of the UPC on the packages, then lay the items out on the floor and take pictures with a ruler, then we need more pictures. Really? The items don’t fit and are simply very small for their advertised size. One of the three items fit, I’m not crazy or lying to myself about what my size really is… Now I must send them back at my own expense to China – or “We understand how expensive a return can be, so we will offer you a 60% credit on a future order, or 40% of a refund to just keep the items”. NO, this was not my fault, and they don’t fit. What makes them think a partial refund will make me feel good about squeezing into a sausage casing of a blouse? I understand business, costs, and minimizing liabilities but lightinthebox has no true intent of standing behind what they sell. They have tried to draw out the return process to frustrate a customer until the $36 is no longer worth the trouble.
If you feel like playing the lottery for sizes, click away. If you expect a “free return” as advertised at the top of the page when you google search the company you will be disappointed.
When received I noticed the material was not the same as advertised on the website and the length
of the robe was short (above my knees) and not to the bottom of my legs.
I washed this robe and the size was reduced to two sizes smaller (cheep 100% cotton)
Do not buy anything from this company !!!!!
