Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 61 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many customers were disappointed with the product quality, describing materials as flimsy and cheap, with poor finishing and badly sewn seams. Reviewers frequently noted that sizing was incorrect or much smaller than expected, often not matching website descriptions or images. People also faced significant challenges contacting the company, with emails often bouncing or receiving no reply, making returns difficult. While many struggled to obtain refunds, some customers eventually received partial or full reimbursements, though often after persistent effort and facing claims of high overseas return costs. Conversely, a small portion of people found the tops comfortable, breathable, and suitable for everyday wear, especially for mature women, with some appreciating the soft material and gentle support.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Thin, flimsy material - you couldn’t wear it as a tee shirt, as shown in their pictures. Pads are awful, giving a shelf-like bust. Neckline is loose and floppy. Do not recommend.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

I received 2 vests I ordered which were large. I couldn't barely get them over my head! I'm a size 12 so ordered a size up but still really small 'China again'. I emailed and they replied pretty quick... See more

Elsie's vests seemed a great idea. But, although they are pitched at older women, I could not manage to get it on and the pads in the 'bra' section were very difficult to get into position. Having rep... See more

Waste of money

If you email this company, the email** bounces back ("I'm sorry to have to inform you that your message could not be delivered to one or more recipients. It's attached below"). My credit card company temporarily froze my card when I made the order but I realised too late that I had somehow approved payment for two vests, not one. The fabric is flimsy and puckers at the front. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! **Update: after another email to the company, they replied and, to be fair, offered to exchange the vests for a different size. But that wouldn't help - the band that goes under the bust has very little stretch and slips up if I raise my arms, but the cups are small and close together. So I'm giving the vests to a charity shop and Elsie's say they will give me a 20% refund (I wasn't going to risk sending them back). I still wouldn't do business with them again.

The quality of the vest is very poor

The quality of the vest is very poor. Bra pads are bulging and front neckline is very loose. Fabric quality is thin and not as described. I have not wasted my time trying to contact the company after reading previous reviews. I’m so annoyed at myself for not checking TrustPilot before purchasing. Don’t waste your money!

Very poor company all round

Very poor quality material and workmanship. Seems impossible to contact the company and most of my emails simply bounced. Photos show workers interacting with a Royal Mail van but it would seem that this company is based in China. I would not recommend this company or use it again.

Email to Co doesn’t work

Email to Co doesn’t work, I did get the items ordered, it took ages, the size is ok but cups are really too close together and not much support. After seeing other reviews I will alter mine myself and not waste time contacting company. They are a good idea as no seams and no digging in tight bits, best if you have small boobs.

My order has not arrived

My order has not arrived. There is no way of contacting them, have message via their website and have had no reply. They have taken my money and not sent the goods. AVOID at all cost

Difficulty Returning an Order

I received my order of 2 vests;this took over a week. I want to return them for a refund. An email from them stating my order had been delivered gave me the option of replying to the email should I need to return them. I emailed them and I am still waiting for their reply. I do not rate their customer communications system and their email system is the only option given to contact them.If they don't answer their emails, how on earth can I get hold of them?

I ordered the vests and when they arrived they were way too small. They sent me an email to say they had arrived and if I wasn't happy with them to reply, I tried to reply 3 times and it said the email wasn't configured obviously a bunch of scammers now lost my money now im trying to complain the code isnt coming through

I would give no stars for this company

I would give no stars for this company. Despite their saying easy returns, you cannot contact them to arrange such a return. Have emailed 4 times but just get mailer deamon. I have used their contact form 4 times with no response whatsoever. I am now raising a dispute with my credit card company to see if I get anywhere. £60+ pounds is a lot of money to lose for something that is no good. Avoid elsies-vests.co.uk.

AVOID AVOID AVOID

AVOID AVOID AVOID. Not able to get in touch with company once they have your money. Goods arrived ....eventually, obviously from China even though the company is supposedly here in the Uk. Probably simply a UK private address to try to ensure people of being a reputable company which they are not.
They send an email saying goods delivered -if you have an issue just reply to this email. Tried that but my email bounced back.
the actual quality of the tops is poor and not worth the money. AVOID AVOID AVOID.

It’s a scam

It’s a scam, don’t buy from them, I can’t contact them, I just keep getting emails saying the courier hasn’t scanned my order. It’s a company in china I’m guessing….

Possible scam site

This company ‘if indeed it exist’ has taken my money and as yet NOT PROVIDED A PRODUCT. I placed my order on 3 May, received notification it has shipped on the 5th May with a tracking link that shows NO FURTHER MOVEMENT since that day. Could it be coming from China and stuck on The Straight of Hormuz. I’ve no idea, there’s been no further notification from the alleged company. I have tried to make contact with the company. The only contact details on their possible scam website is for an email address that doesn’t exist.
I will update if ever I receive the product however at this time I strongly feel the website was a scam and I have no recourse. Please do not make the same mistake!

Elsie's vests seemed a great idea. But, although they are pitched at older women, I could not manage to get it on and the pads in the 'bra' section were very difficult to get into position. Having replied to their "it's arrived, reply to this email if you're not happy" email, I received 3 mail delivery failures as the email address is misconfigured, so it seems I am stuck with vests that don't fit correctly and cannot return.
