I purchased an item requesting a size Medium. Generally known to be a 12-14. They sent me a size 10. They wouldn’t exchange stating that a size 10 was a Medium and since the item was on same they wouldn’t exchange. Show details

They are scammers! Don’t buy from them! I recently purchased some dresses from them and one of them the stripe is almost breaking. I contacted them and they promised to offer refund after I sent back the dress. So I sent the faulty dress and another which doesn’t fit. I tracked the package they have received on 28/7 and I sent lots of email to… Read more

them they do not respond at all! It has been three weeks! Now I sent back two dresses that costed over $200 and I received nothing!! I’m pretty sure they paid a lot of people to make good reviews on different sites because they are not responsive at all or they just pick who they want to reply! Don’t trust those good reviews! I am going to report to the relevant government agency soon due to their behavior. See my pictures for proof!!

Great purchase – I ordered a couple of options of what I considered would be bump friendly dresses for my baby shower. Loved the quality of each dress and the dresses were exactly the same as in their website. I would definitely order again! Show details ·  1

Scam return policy – HUGE SCAM of a company. I thought that this company was a great store and I’d ordered from them multiple times. I received a dress that the zip broke on 2 hours into my first wear and tried to get it refunded. They said they would only offer partial refund because the tags were off and it had been worn which is against the fair trading and… Read more

consumer law. Super disappointed. Don’t shop here, terrible quality and you won’t be compensated. Their joke of a store policy is essentially an admission of guilt for their poor quality clothing.

Worst return policy – I needed a dress for two weeks ago. Product that came was of poor quality and looked different to picture. Had to pay for my return which then was given a store credit. This credit never appeared on my account. I was told to purchase something else and fortunate one would then issue me a credit to my bank account on the card I used. The refund… Read more

then went to my pay pal where I had purchased the first sale from. I am still waiting 6 days for an "express" delivery. I saw it went up to Queensland first instead of South Australia. I will never shop with this company again. There email inbox was full and I tried to remain in contact however they kept repeating themselves re store credit. Contact number also does not work. If I could rate this company zero stars I would. Improve your store credit system. I was a loyal customer until this incident. I haven't waited 6 days for an expected 2-3 day delivery ever. Especially when ordered on a Monday.

My first dress was successfully returned on the 3rd of April and I struggled to have contact with the company applying this store credit due to their system errors. The emails in reply were the same generic ones. I tried on multiple different browsers and devices

Positive – Thank you fortunate one. I had an issue with a dress I received. I got in touch with fortunate one with what I thought would be a good solution if they valued customer service. With no issues, this was accepted by fortunate one and I am an extremely satisfied customer. As online shopping should be! Show reply

The stitching on my dress is all messed up and I have been trying to call and email but no one is answering and I keep getting automated replies. I have tried during business hours and outside but no one is responding. The quality is ok but the dress looks awful due to the skipped stitching.

Do not buy here – They just sell cheap Chinese dresses, you can't get a refund and they only provide store credits which is illegal in the state of Victoria, Aus. Their phone numbers don't work and they dont respond via email. Simply don't buy from them. @roxy_robson

Won't acknowledge faulty items they put on finale sale to clear them – I wish I could give a -10 for customer service and the website experience. The site is incredibly difficult to navigate—logging in doesn’t work, and many links only function in the header section of certain pages. I purchased three pairs of shoes around Christmas time, two of which were final sale. One pair, which is unwearable, seems to be on… Read more

clearance for a reason: the straps are positioned too low on the foot, making them impossible to walk in.

I would expect a company of your caliber to address issues like this with the manufacturer and not pass on defective products to consumers. Despite this, I returned the shoes because I can’t use them and don’t feel right selling them to anyone. The return was accepted, but I never heard anything from your team—no apology, no acknowledgment of the issue. NO refund NO exchange... you just kept them... and probably re sold them... seriously a joke.

This was my first purchase, and the shoes were only $30 after the discount. Had you handled the return professionally, I might have considered shopping with you again. But now, after such poor service, I can't imagine returning to your site.

Please, improve the navigation on your website. It’s frustrating that people can’t even sign in to their accounts. And with final sale items, it’s important to recognise that sometimes the product isn’t the customer’s fault. Take responsibility for the quality of what you sell. The $30 isn’t worth losing a customer who could have brought you much more business over time.

Disappointing customer service and business practices all around.

Awful experience – If I could give less than one star, I would. I ordered a dress and Fortunate One created an incorrect shipping label and sent it out. I emailed Fortunate One after I had spoken with 3 different people from USPS who told me it would not be delivered due to an incorrect address on the shipping label. Finally, after it was returned to sender, they… Read more

refunded my money but charged me the $10.00 that the courier charged them for the unsuccessful delivery.

They tried to make me pay more to replace their faulty product – Dress broke as soon as she tried it on (because all the dresses we ordered were poor quality - my daughter remarking that they are the same material the princess dress ups she had when she was 2, but she liked one for the colour). Sent a photo. Tried to get a replacement and they wanted me to pay for postage to resend! After a week of trying to… Read more

get a replacement and asking for a free repair (as it is what fair trading say should happen), they just refunded the money. Now my daughter is left with no dress for her year 6 graduation and a company that doesn’t care about their customers.

If you can not get sizing correct- OFFER REFUNDS – Purchased two dresses in size medium, one fit however was on the smaller size the other was too big it was gaping. Upon selecting return, I was only able to return for store credit. I believe during these hard financial times store credit returns are disgusting, i now have to pay for the shipping return and than have to hope the next dress I… Read more

purchase off store credit fits or fear of having to pay shipping again both ways which results in more money spent. Will never repurchase with them again.

Worst Company Ever – Absolute terrible company to deal with. I bought four items of clothing from them, and on the description they lied on three of them about the fabric composition of the clothing. The clothing was meant to be made from cotton, linen, and rayon, but they all turned out to be made from cheap polyester. When I emailed them about this and wanted to… Read more

initiate a return, they said there is nothing they can do because the items were marked as 'Final Sale' and that I should sell them on Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace. What an absolute joke. Just because you decided to say an item was 'Final Sale' doesn't mean you can lie on your website, and it certainly doesn't exclude you from Consumer Law. I managed to get a refund from this company by reporting them to Consumer Protection and by opening a case on Afterpay against them. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. They will rip you off and send you cheap inferior quality clothing, and you'll never get your money back from them.

No flexibility – Bought some clothes on final sale in my normal size of medium. They were to big. I asked to return for a smaller size and they wouldn’t. I think common sense is usually applied in situations like this but apparently not. Show details

Great quality product, excellent customer service!! – The item I received was faulty but was a great quality product otherwise.

Pleasantly surprised – I ordered probably 10 things and half I loved and half I’m returning which I think is a good turn out for online ordering! Two items I received were faulty (a tear, etc) and Abi with customer service was great! Responded the same day and credited my account with a refund. I was pleasantly surprised! Excited to find more cute things to order Show details ·  1
