Advantages: great selection
Disadvantages: sizes can be a problem for the larger woman

I came across this American based clothes site by pure accident there a few days ago. They specialise in clothes for teenagers - and offer a super range of clothes in a great range of sizes and colours. The clothes are great value for money - and even with the delivery rate of $19.99 to the United Kingdom - it works out a lot cheaper than buying your clothes here at home. The site is easy to work your way through and well laid out - the pictures ...
...out on screen. There is a sizing guide if your not sure about the sizes in American - I advise you look at this if you are intending buying anything from them - just incase. I found this site to be more for the smaller woman - although some articles have sizes up to 3XL - which would only really be around a size 14 or 16 here from my working out. This is certaily a good site if you are female looking for some clothes at super value BUT are rather ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap clothing that's different from the usual high street retailers
Disadvantages: American sizes don't always translate

Delias.com I discovered this site completely by accident one day whilst idly surfing the net and have been buying from them for about 18 months now. The site is US based but happily ship to the UK and elsewhere in the world for a small shipping fee. The target audience for the site is American teenage girls, but as I am young at heart, like to dress a little differently from everyone else who's been shopping in a high street in the UK the clothes ...
...available in a wider range of sizes than from UK shops and being a fairly petite person I can actually get clothes that fit! Clothes in the US are considerably cheaper than over here and, even allowing for the shipping costs & possible duty, I can get jeans & t-shirts for a lot less than I'd pay at my local branch of Gap! As orders are being shipped from the US they do take a little while to arrive, I think two weeks was the longest I've had to ... Read review

Advantages: none.
Disadvantages: they are horrible!

delia*s is the WORST company I have ever dealt with. DO NOT ORDER FROM THEM. CUSTOMER SERVICE IS COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL! worst business EVER! Sales associates and even the SUPERVISOR were totally RUDE! It was my first order with delias and I have to say it will probably be the last. I am going to make it known to EVERYONE I can possibly tell to not order from this company -- the service is terrible. I placed an order and about 2 weeks had passed, ...
...status and it was in review! There was no e-mail/communication of any sort letting me know this. I was just recently contacted regarding my order but only because I had to contact THEM to ask why my order was not processed, since I never received any sort of email letting me know that it was not processed. They told me to call up their 'security department' and verify my information. The way their sales reps spoke to me was completely unacceptable. ... Read review

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: never received dress

We bought a dress for my daughter for graduation, and when we ordered it , it was listed as in stock. We paid extra to have the dress shipped in three days. After contacting them several times and waiting seven days, they told us the dress had been shipped, but was untrackable because it weighed less than one pound. We were also told the dress had been backordered and they were not able to express ship backordered items. At no time did they contact ... Read review
