The sizes are not correct at all.

The sizes were small. Also I was not happy with the quality at all. Very disappointing as all the photos of the products always looked so amazing but not so nice when I received them. I wont be shopping there any more.

Clothes are very iffy at best, no returns, some they let me send back after much fuss. Sizes are not standard, and you are taking a chance ordering clothes! Also ordered silver earrings, they turned dark rose color! Ws supposed to be sterling silver! Only order shoes and some household things. No clothes or jewelery for me! Poor quality, no returns, no structure to size charts.

Always a size chart available. Most of my purchases are name brands, so I have not experienced a problem.

It depends on where the items originate from. Clothing designed in China always runs small but Zulily is usually pretty good at Notting that in the item description. I also only order name brand shoes from Zulily because of the sizing issue.

Sizing is terrible, I never got anything in clothes that fit correctly. I am a size 8 and I ordered and xl that was too small. Unless you know the brand, don't order. Even then it takes forever, you don't know when you will get it, you can't return, and when I tried to delete my account and credit card info because I am not shopping there anymore, you can't do it. You have to email customer service and ask them to delete your account and hope that they do it.

Well, I haven t had a problem so far with sizes, according to their charts. Not reall. I also take into account the fabric & the stretch factor (i. E. spandex, elastane, scuba, polyester, cotton, linen, etc.). I have experience with adult clothing only. No problem if I apply my knowledge of how fabrics "work" on my body. I have been pleased so far. We do get what we pay for, remember, you can t return the items. I suggest as well to order a few cheaper items, different labels then you will have a better idea and if you made a mistake on the sizes, well you d lost less $. I don t know if it s sufficient for you but just to let you know what I did when I started with them. Far more expensive sites are not quite as faithful to their size charts.

I ordered a dress for my daughter but it was 1 or more size bigger than the size I expected.

I haven't had much luck with sizing. Men's shirts are a nightmare. My dresses were tight on the arm even though I am an English 14 I ordered the next size up, the garments were still tight. I don't shop at Zulily anymore Too many disappointments after waiting so long and quality not good.

In my experience adult clothing was not true to size for the 2 items I purchased. As for boots also not true to size, I only had luck with infant clothing. I just don't understand how far off their size chart is from regular clothing charts. Good luck! And be sure you want what you're ordering they won't exchange or refund your money.

If you buy a known brand the sizing is consistent. Other brands 2 items of the brand and size, for example tunics and dresses, one might fit the other will be either way too big or way too small. Kids sizing was consistent for all brands 75% of the time. I bought 2 horse t-shirts, same size, one was skin tight the other was a night shirt.

I love Zulily. They so sell from a variety of vendors, so there is no one set standard. However they do provide a sizing chart for each vendor and that is invaluable

I really have no complaints - the size chart helps a lot and so far all the clothes fit accordingly. I wear a size 16 but I always check the chart for the bust size - some brands are not an american size 16 - in these cases I order a bigger size.
I'm really satisfied with their selections.

Every item ran small and short on the torso if you have a long torso.

Size varies from brand to brand for the same size. I usually stay with the same brand if I like since I know how is the quality and their size. I recommend use their size chart for that brand, if not sure run size up since most of items run smaller than they marked. So far all clothes made in Italy for European designers are pretty accurate for their size chart, but not for those made in China etc

To be honest, I ordered a dress and got a shirt instead. Also my daughter's clothes are hit and miss with sizes. The commercials are misleading and untrue. The quality of the clothes is substandard as well. Also I ordered my daughter a necklace from there and two hours later the chain broke.
