While the styles are pretty, the quality is terrible. I wore a blouse ONCE and one of the buttons have come off already. I also can't find the button so I have to find out if I can get a replacement button from Review. Pretty poor considering it was $130. Show details
Review used to have beautiful, timeless vintage silhouettes and high end feel with good customer service. Clothes are now just fast fashion. Customer service from head office to the lady on the floor in Myer is rude and dismissive. Avoid! Just another historically good brand that is now trash. Jeans should last years, not months. Shame Show details
Review as a Company has let me down. I was gifted a bag which I found out was $250 +(no receipt) I used this bag all of a handful of times only to find the lock mechanism was faulty and completely came apart. I spent time after time going to stores.… Read more
i spent much time on searching for the HQ I then wrote numerous emails only to be given a time waste and re sending pictures so many times that the admin can't even run a 3-ring circus! I finally spoken to someone who at best had no idea what I was going on about and basically advised that they do not take responsibility and I had to find a repairer so the the irony here is, they manufacture products, sell them, but do not take responsibility this is not a proper business model! REVIEW FASHION should be reviewed ha ha and possibly exposed to bean unprofessional fashion house! I still have a bag that doesn't lock...
Follow-up · Yes, I didn't want to mention this but since the public has requested more details. The bag is lopsided very difficult to get in and out of it even though i have a small hand. The only thing is exterior look because it's different, no point if it's not functional
Reviews with attachments
I ordered pants and a top, both of which fit me well. However, the products feel cheap and smell like they’ve come straight out of a factory in china. The material is not of a high quality which was disappointing. Show details
Misleading – Was in Myer CBD store and was about to purchase an item of clothing that had been hanging on a rack with 30% off..was charged full price, and when I queried it was told that not all items hanging on the sale rock are sale clothing because they don't have enough space to hang non sale items. This is EXTREMELY misleading and false advertising on the Review clothing brand. Show details
Dress arrived with broken Zipper and the material around the Zipper damaged – The dress arrived with a broken zipper, and the material around the zipper was damaged. I can't believe the item was not checked prior to shipping and was sent out in this damaged condition. Also, the price marked in red on the label was less than I paid. Show details
Not as advertised! – They advertised a cotton/acrylic top made in USA and delivered an acrylic top made in CHINA. Offered a discount to keep the top. Got my money back via PayPal. Show details
ABSOLUTE LYING SCUMBAGS – Just got this email from these scumbags: Hello, I am the account manager on duty today: [Name Removed] Thank you. We have a lot of orders to process recently. Refunds will be processed in the order submitted. So. They are basically admitting they have a lot of requests for refunds. Always a sign of quality. Show details

Fast shipping, also despite what others are saying about quality etc I disagree. This brand have extremely comfortable nice fitting clothes that are good quality,very good quality trust me, it's amazing. All true to size and look nice not daggy like other brands. If they keep doing what they are doing and not fall for the cheap fast fashion like… Read more
forever new did and portmans this brand will continue to be my favourite. Thanks for the loyalty and birthday discount as well!! Love!
Amazing products and customer service – I can not fault this company. The dress quality is far beyond others and the customer service is quick and so helpful. I recently had an issue and it was time sensitive Brigitte went above and beyond to ensure my issue was resolved. And not to mention how beautiful their spring collection is!! :) Show details
Negative reviews
Bought a playsuit online. I collected it from the courier and tried it on straight away. It was too big. I emailed within 1 hour of receiving the product to ask if I could exchange for a smaller size. I checked online and they have the smaller size available. I offered to pay to send the item back and put a self-addressed package with it - So that… Read more
I could pay for postage. I was told no - Because the item is on sale no refunds or exchange. The item was $246 reduced to $128. Online when I bought the playsuit the refunds and exchange policy says in bold - Allowed within 30 days if item is still new with tags. However because it has underneath the price in red 'outlet sale' - I am suppose to know that means not refund or exchange! I totally understand no refund - HOWEVER I am not asking for a refund - I'm simply asking to change to a size that fits me - It is always a risk when you buy online - and companies need to be open to that. I have emailed review 3 times and they will not budge. I called the DFO store in Bris bane where I know it came from. The shop attendant confirmed they have my size in stock. I explained the situation to the shop attendant -and she said no exchange as the item is heavily marked down. I said I did not understand this. They still get the sale - It costs them nothing to make the change. The shop attendant hung up on me! Again - I understand if I was asking for a refund - I also understand it the size is not in stock. But I bought the item in good faith - The size I normally take is too big - I need a smaller size so I can wear the item and they are completely UNREASONABLE! I buy alot online - and have never experienced this. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY

Been so sad watching my favourite store disintegrate at the hands of enshitification. This used to be an incredible brand with high quality fabrics, interesting prints, designs that made me drain my bank account, and knowledgeable staff. Now, this… Read more
is an overpriced Portmans copycat with nothing original. I used to shop here weekly, now I haven't been in over 6 months. I miss the old Review.
Follow-up · Previously my review items lasted ages and never seemed to age. Now for example, my last two black jackets started pilling within a few months. The clothing now ages very quickly. Previously, staff seemed to be really in the ball. Now you go in and they are typical, vague retail staff. Previously designs were unique and a bit retro. Their… Read more
First and only time buying from Review online. They charge a steep delivery fee, but they also charge $11 for returns. Clearly they are doing all they can to disincentivise customers from returning items.

Review, you’ve lost a customer! – I have been a regular customer of Review clothing for many years in store & over recent months I have made several online purchases. My latest purchase will be my last! The dress & top I purchased in the same size I always buy, was extremely tight & couldn’t be fastened. Clearly the sizing is incorrect as I have purchased many styles, different… Read more
fabrics & always fit perfectly. Unfortunately I removed the tags from one garment as I was confident it would fit, however this wasn’t the case by a long way. I immediately contacted customer service & advised my recent garment purchase was faulty due to incorrect sizing. Review customer service have refused to accept the item without tags & I’ve had to pay for the other garment to be returned. Customer service were very unprofessional & didn’t even bother to read my complaint prior to quoting their no refund policy. If you’re considering purchasing this brand I would strongly suggest only buying in store as the staff there are professional & you can try before purchasing. I will be reporting this to Fair Trading.
Don’t buy from The OODIE – Absolutely terrible, scammy company. Takes your money & doesn’t deliver the order, doesn’t respond to customers or refund. DON’T BUY! Look at their social media & all the comments on their posts that are filtered out. Those are customer complaints that they are hiding.
3 stars for Review Australia as its soo hard to return items, but 5 stars for the girls at Review Outlet in Liverpool – 3 starts for Review Australia as a company, especially because its so hard to return items, especially compared to all the other companies out there that make it so easy to return things...But 5 stars for the girls at the Review outlet in Liverpool. What an amazing experience I had with the sales staff at the Review outlet in Liverpool! I was… Read more
almost ready to give up on Review after a disappointing attempt to return a couple of dresses online that were too big. Online customer service couldn't help, and neither the Broadway nor the Birkenhead outlets were able to exchange them.
However, when I visited the Liverpool fashion outlet, Nu and Gordy provided exceptional service. They gladly allowed me to exchange the dresses, and I ended up purchasing even more, thanks to the lovely range available and their outstanding assistance. They truly restored my faith in the Review brand, which I had almost given up on.
I've learned my lesson - I'll never purchase online again because it's too difficult to exchange items that don't fit. I will definitely be returning to the Liverpool Review outlet, hoping Nu and Gordy are still there. They deserve recognition for the fantastic service they provided.
Be capful of scammers – This is about my experience with Viso & Co clothing: I have been scammed by this company. I have been Donald on their on line website a Cardigan modded Cocoon 100% Chashmire. Aster 10 days just few minutes ago I received the black cardigan which is and tagged 100% Polyester. No Star
By Amica – Stay away for this company have a look at the review- I recently had the unfortunate experience of dealing with By Amica and I must say, their lack of flexibility is truly astonishing. After purchasing a dress from them, the zipper broke within just 20 minutes of wearing it. When I reached out for an exchange, replacement, or even a credit on the… Read more
item, I was met with an alarming lack of cooperation from the company. Not only did I have to foot the bill for the return postage myself, but I was also informed that if I wanted the broken dress back, I would need to pay additional fees to have it refunded to me. It's as if they're stuck in the Stone Age with their rigid policies and complete unwillingness to accommodate even the most basic customer requests. It's abundantly clear that they prioritize their bureaucratic procedures over genuine customer satisfaction, leaving individuals like myself feeling utterly frustrated and undervalued. Spare yourself the hassle and avoid dealing with this inflexible company at all costs.
Not so Royalty Long Coat – Same with some of the reviewers here. I have been a Review customer for 14 years and I can tell the quality and fashion style of Review have gone downhill, except their price tag. I have lots of vintage dresses that I could wear happily in the office and I used to rely on Review as my work-dress-to-go-to shop. But not anymore and my last purchase… Read more
of Long Royalty Coat in Dark Cherry was a testimony of disappointment. Colour and size are true as shown in the photo but the wool quality is so thin and seams are so cheaply and unprofessionally done. I've had to use a scissor to rip open the pockets and the buttonholes have marks in it but are sewn closed so that begs a trip to alteration shop. I have posted my review on their site but since the product is now out of stock the review is not even posted and the product is no longer accessible online. The dresses and fashion style are so tacky in comparison to their collections years ago. They just lost another loyal customer. Not surprising why the shops and outlets I used to frequent to both in Sydney and Melbourne are gone as well.
No customer service – Wrote to review about a problem on line only to be told I’m doing it wrong and wrote back to customer service only to be ignored. Still waiting on reply. Show details

Terrible quality, cheap material, size doesn't fit, wrong colour, terrible customer service. THEY ARE NOT IN AUSTRALIA – Received the incorrect sizes after a long wait, terrible quality product, wrong colour! There is no phone to contatc them, the email is automatically and ironic answers. If you wish to return, you will hav to pay for that and it snot guarantee to have the product or money back. I wish I read the reviews before. It says Melbourne, but they are not in Australia! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY AND TIME Show details
REFUND PROCESS IS VERY DIFFICULT – There're very limited boutique stores in Sydney that we can return and get a refund/exchange. I made an effort to get to one of the store which is far away from me but when I got back home I realized that she refunded me $38.41 less than what it should be. I emailed online about the matters, [Name Removed] said I have to head back in store to have… Read more
it rectify. Why did she MAKE IT SO DIFFICULT just to refund customer for $38.41? Does she understand how much effort (Transport $$+ time) for me to head back in store? that's why I purchased them online for convenient purposes.
I used to purchase lots of clothes from review for my family, but I have LOST MY INTEREST and will return whatever I am having now.
Absolutely no customer service!! – Store assistant didn't assist in any way. I found a dress but they didn't have my size. Asked shop assistant where there was one in stock. She rang Melbourne Central and proceeded to have a private conversation with the assistant on the other end. I asked the assistant if they had one as she wasn't forthcoming in giving me any information. I was told that there was one in stock and I could pick it up from there....which I did! Show details
So disappointing that this company has started to go down hill – I have been a loyal Review fan and shopper for 15 years. Their clothing designs and quality were always previously top shelf, and it is for this past glory that I have given them 2 stars. But really, the last 12-18 months the Review Team, and the company generally, have dropped the ball. Customer Service simply does not exist, NO ONE and I mean NO… Read more
ONE mans the phones or emails - you cannot ring through and speak to a person, and I have not received a single response to any of the emails sent. There is an ongoing automated message telling customers that the 'message box' is full, so there is no way for you to even leave the instructed details for someone to call you back. BUT, more so than that, is the obvious drop in quality of both fabric and manufacturing. Up until last year I had never needed to return anything to Review as I loved everything I purchased. Now, the fabrics feel cheap an 'plasticky', the cotton jersey fades after one wash, the fabrics pill and stretch out of shape....i could go on. Such a shame, but unless this is addressed quickly they will surely lose the loyal customer base it has taken them 20+ years to amass. I personally will now start looking elsewhere as I am sick of wasting money on returns.
This is great! – I have purchased an item from NorthByOne and the online service was spot on. Quick response when I was in doubt of sizing and a timely response for delivering the item. Would definately buy again. Show details
Just ok – Pants were good especially the linen ones, didn’t want polyester but one pair were 100% even though it wasn’t stated. Shirts were too small. Even going larger than recommended they were small. If you are curvy forget it…. Show details
Poor express shipping and returns – Bought a dress and paid almost $15 for express delivery. Arrived 9 days later. When I wanted to return via post, I had pay for postage. Do many retailers offering same day express shipping and free returns but not Review. Will not purchase from Review again Show details
Poor and terrible customer service – Buyers be aware of the terrible customer service. I bought a dress on sale using Afterpay and waited for a week to receive it. After I followed it up they said they sold the dress to someone else and cancelled my order because I used Afterpay, and they prefer customers who pay upfront. What a joke!!! If you don’t like your buyers to use Afterpay,… Read more
why offering it at the checkout!!!! Your products are so overpriced and they are only worth buying on sale. I will never buy anything from this brand!
Not what they use to be – Not the high quality product Review would like you to believe it is. The zippers on the dresses and skirts are sub standard. Now with store staff it's normal for zippers to be very difficult. Other brands can manage. Colour run on clothing will ruin dress. Items aren't sewn in Australia. Website when ordering unstable. All about flash in the pan influencers who don't give two tinkers about the brand.
Broken zipper - ILLEGAL returns policy - do not buy – I bought my first Review dress in November 2022. I wore the dress a total of five times. After each wear, I hand washed, line dried and ironed the dress. While wearing it for the fifth time, the zipper split down the full length of the back of the dress. I have attempted to get this either repaired, refunded or replaced but they refuse to… Read more
assist me. I purchased the dress via Myer Online and Myer took the dress back and then told me that it could not be returned as it had been worn and the broken zipper was a result of wear and tear. What sort of zipper breaks after 5 wears - CHEAP ones. Shocking quality and even worse customer service. I will never shop there again. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BRAND.
