“Absolutely beautiful dress.”

Mary P.
6/28/17

It was exactly as described. Thought we had bought it from the UK but turned out it from China. This was not a problem at all. The dress stood out from some that had paid four times more. Reading other reviews thought we had been lucky but at the end of the day you get what you pay for. If somebody was expecting a £1000 pound dress for £150 then that's their fault. Would recommend Shilla to anybody.

Firstly this site is based in Hong Kong but use a UK web address. I ordered a prom dress for my 16 yr old daughter which she saved up for. We purchased the dress as shown on Shilla's website with no alterations in a size 10. What we were delivered looked like it had been made by a 6 yr old. We have been refused a refund and told that we should sell the dress or alter the dress ourselves. When I say it was bad my daughter could not even zip it up as the back of the dress seems to be a size 5 and the rest a size 8. They have made a derisory offer of 30% of the purchase price of £120.00 Even their reviews are false for every poor review they get they then post 3 false reviews to make it look like they are a Half decent company! PLEASE TRUST ME AND DO NOT BUY!

I just wanna to thank you from the bottom of my heart in getting my bridemaids dresses for my wedding. I ordered 5 bridemaids dresses on 27th, July, style ******* in pink, fit my wedding theme. Because my bridemaids with different sizes, so I chose free custom made after discusses with the customer service department, absolutely when I received all dresses, they fit my bridesmaids perfectly.
And I just had my wedding a few days ago, everything is perfect. Also I wrote an email to thank Jadegowns, because they sent me the correct and beautiful dresses.It is a pity that I didn't order my wedding dress from you. But I already recommended you to my all friends. :)

I was really satisfied with what I got from Shilla, the dress and the customer service. When I emailed them, the man who called Esther replied me all the time.
Also I was worried about ordering the dress quality and design on line, because some companies didn't offer the customers what they ordered. But the dress I ordered from Shilla was amazing, it fits me like a glove. I was really delighted. Highly recommed.

When I ordered on their website, I offered them my UK address. But unfortunately something happened, I need to change my address. Then I emailed their customer service department, they changed it for you fastly.
And when I received my dresses, they were amazing, the package was also good. Thank you.

At first, I was really hesitant to buy a dress online. I had no other options though, so I ordered the dress on Shilla.co.uk and hoped for the best. I AM SO HAPPY THAT I DID. The dress is stunning.The quality is remarkable and I will continue to order dresses through Shilla! Thanks so much for making a quality dress that fits so perfectly! I am so thrilled with my order!

So I brought 2 dresses from this company! Then I found the reviews! Then I received said dresses! Do not waste your time money or effort - they will pay for the tailoring - 8% refund and will for the life of me not give me a return address! Ladies keep your money on your cards!

On the plus I payed on a credit card - it's clearly fraud and I got a refund from my credit card company as I wasn't going to let 250 go to waste!

Don't be as stupid as I was! And there's also lots of sister companies too! Do not be fooled!

Save your hard earned money and buy from a reputable coompany. The dress u will receive will not be the dress on their website. Another part of the Shillas company that are being sued for counterfeit products! Dress arrived, completely made wrong (all my sizes where correct as I got dressmaker to check) had alterations done locally as i wouldnt have time to organise another, cost an additional £65 got an email back saying they would only refund £15 alteration fee also said they had already paid making the dress etc. So all in the dress cost £180 with no hope of refund or resolution. Also they make out this is a uk site it isnt they are based in china! Referred to trading standards and watchdog

Do not order from here. I am appalled at their shocking customer service! Ordered 2 dresses on here for my grandsons christening, I even paid more for one as altered the size! I've been emailing them for weeks as to a refund and all they do is ignore half my email and ask for ' Proof ' of the dress not fitting etc. this is absolutely appalling and theft! Who even asks to see pictures of the dress not fitting? It's absolutely ridiculous. DO NOT ORDER OF THIS SITE a waste of time and a headache too!

This company is a disgrace and should not be allowed to carry on selling! I bought a dress for my daughters upcoming prom. Dress arrived with sequins hanging off loose and 4 inches to small around the back. They will not refund or exchange the dress. I even offered to get a local tailor to alter it (as they say in terms n conditions) to be told they will not reinburse this! I have been emailing them for over a month to sort out with endless pictures of the dress and trying to come to an mutusl agreement and am getting no where fast! My daughter is highly dissapointed and I am £100 out of pocket.
PLEASE do not waste your hard earned money on this company.

I brought a dress from this company & it looked absolutely nothing like the dress on the website. I emailed them asking for a refund & they asked for photos which I sent they said 'it looks nice on you'! It absolutely did not! They did offer to make another dress for me but I did not want two badly made dresses so I asked for half my money back & they offered me 5% back a complete joke of a company, do not buy from them you will be disappointed!
They are not uk bassed either.

Got my bridesmaids to buy her dress and it was completly the wrong shape and size they offered 10% back to her. We even rang tradimg standars and have reported the company. Its a disgrace. They need to be taken down so no one else can be ripped off! Linda at shillas u should be ashamed of yourself!

I had my doubts about the website - have you seen the typos? And I hadn't seen any of the reviews on this site beforehand. I only saw these the day before delivery and it kept me up at night worrying. Received the dress today and was obviously skeptical. Others had said the material was cheap, and I honestly don't know how to tell if it's cheap or not so I may be a bit paranoid, but the torso bit does feel a bit... meh.

My advice for this site: I wouldn't advise it. I got off easier then others that have replied on this site. The dress is still fine for my prom coming up in a month or so, and it fits well enough (I didn't get a custom size, however).

This website is not worth the hassle that so many other people have seen. I would suggest going to your nearest clothing shop and getting a dress from there - at least there you can try before you buy

Prom time. What a stress experience!
The dress we bought from shillas.co.uk was a disaster.

The dress is far too big, the fabric is of very poor quality and looks cheap. They're offered me 12% return back, what a joke!
The dress cannot be amended as it would be deformed. Now had to start all over again.
The dress was so different from the one we saw on their wesite.
I would not ever buy from these people again.
Defenetely it is a fake website, as I asked fot details of their manager, or customer relationship or consumer complaint department, or a telephone contact number, and never heard from them again.
I wish I knew before hand.

I ordered a dress for my daughter's year 11 prom. She wears a size 10 so I ordered a size 10 expecting a well fitted dress. Instead I got a tight fitting dress that was not like what they had described. When I asked for a refund I got offered an 8% refund only if I took pictures of the dress on my daughter and emailed it to them! After countless emails asking for a full refund or a reimbursement for the tailoring fee for the alteration of the dress I finally agreed to a 12% refund cost which tbh doesn't even cover the delivery cost (£20). I even asked for an exchange for the dress. It has been over three weeks since I agreed to the 12% refund and I am yet to receive any sort of refund. Everything the website says is false and the whole site is a scam trap waiting to happen. Customer service is non existent, the website has a contact number you can call however the number doesn't even go through let alone allows you to voice your concern.

I order a very nice dress from shills web site catalogue but when the dress came was nothing like that picture and dress I order. Be careful and wise when you buy from this site. Really ugly dress I received, plus came v late. They didn't want to accept the dress back and never return any money. We exchange mails but they wasn't v friendly. Asked them if I can return the dress and just said if they can refund at least half of the money but they refuse. It is not fair. Almost £100 gone and the dress is going to bin cause look like a cartoon dress honestly. Will never buy anything from them. Don't buy. The dress looks nothing like that picture!

Honestly, I don't know what I could say more than is already mentioned here. Like many other women, I was fulled by a photo on their website and ordered a dress that has nothing to do with the picture. I paid a lot of money and I don't think I will ever get it back as someone called Linda from Shillas.co.uk is trying to convince me that they mentioned we will not receive the ordered dress as it is a hand-sewn product and from here all these differences: different model, different style, different cut, different fabric and, of course, different COLOUR! HA HA HA! I emailed to Fraud Office UK and I suggest you to do the same, maybe someone takes action. Good luck in getting back your money.

I am are just another customer who has been scammed by this company. The gown was too small and when my daughter e-mailed for a returns label they wanted to see photographic evidence! Nowhere in their returns policy was that stated nor a data protection policy provided stating any photo sent would be destroyed! The Shillas company is very unscrupulous who knows what they would do with the photo!. They are in the business of ripping women off PLEASE DO NOT BUY from these people. They need to be shut down! DISGUSTING.

DO NOT ORDER A DRESS from this website. It's FRAUD! They stole £90 from me. Got the dress but very cheap quality, tried to send it back but no way did the silly little robot on the other side of the screen let me, she was rude and kept repeating herself. She wanted pictures of me in the dress (even though it wasn't meant for me). They offered 8% of the dress back. I'm still in shock and £90 out of pocket and left with a cheap, ugly dress. Shamefull.

I bought a dress for £200, right after that I sent an email saying I changed my mind and asked to send money back to mu account (after I read online reviews).
It's been two months and they haven't sent me the money, they reply to all emails with a single comment asking to be patient.
IT'S A SCAM!
