Received my dress and it was reasonably good quality but really big on me. It’s very hard for a person who is not an “average”size to have clothes fit well. Very disappointed with a store credit as it costs each time to send it back. Probably won’t buy again because of this.

Happy customer

I purchased a lovely, quality gathered denim shirt which was shipped promptly, along with info on their returns process, should I need it.

Great quality

The quality of the items are wonderful. The sizing is large so I had to send it back. The return process is extremely slow and they only offer a credit which is a bit disappointing. So make sure you get the correct item.

Refund and Apology – Faulty Dresses


Dear Florence Store Team,

I am disappointed with the response I received regarding my recent purchases. I bought multiple dresses from your store in September and October, including the Tier V-Neck Dress and the V-Neck Tier Maxi Dress (Order #958716, dated 6 October 2025). Unfortunately, after just one wear, the stitching on these dresses started coming apart.

This is not an issue of mishandling — I have taken proper care of all items according to the fabric instructions. It’s concerning that five dresses purchased within a short time have all shown the same issue, which suggests a quality or manufacturing defect rather than customer misuse.

Under Australian Consumer Law, products must be of acceptable quality and fit for purpose. Given that these items have failed after minimal use, I am requesting a full refund for the faulty dresses and a formal apology for the inconvenience caused.

I look forward to your prompt response and a fair resolution within the next few business days.

Dear Florence Store Team,

With reference to your previous comments, I purchased the same five dresses from your store on two separate occasions. I would like to understand when and how Florence Store reviewed these items, as the dresses are still in my possession and have not been returned for any assessment.

Please advise when and where I can send the items for a proper manufacturer’s review. I expect a full refund for the faulty products, as the quality has not met reasonable expectations — the stitching came undone after just one wear.

If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will be considering lodging a formal complaint with the Australian Competition & Consumer Commission (ACCC), as this appears to involve misleading conduct and unfair business practices.

I look forward to your immediate response.

Response from Florence below:

You were asked for information and photos — which you provided.
That information was assessed, and you were notified of the manufacturer’s decision. We don’t need physical items ot asses.

Just so you’re aware, choosing to respond with threats, negative reviews, or references to the ACCC after a proper assessment doesn’t change the process or the outcome — it only makes our team less inclined to offer any further assistance.

You love to argue, and we’re not doing this anymore. Goodbye.
Response to florence:
Without the physical assessment of the Product how can florence do assessments.

Sangetta,

It’s interesting that five separate styles — all made from different fabrics and among our best sellers — have apparently had the same issue, despite no earlier reports and strong ongoing sales. The manufacturer reviewed your images, and made a very reasonable decision based on the information provided, as the professionals in this situation.

Using a public review as a way to re-open a matter or leverage fears, in return for a refund after a formal assessment has already been completed isn’t something we’ll engage with.

Please do yourself a favour and do not…

Please do yourself a favour and do not shop here. I have had the most terrible experience with this store. The customer service is so bad. I returned a dress I paid $152 for and have had to return it. My return was rejected all because I never put the dress in a plastic bag, which I’m sure cost them nothing. I now have a dress that I can’t wear and paid and extra $12 to return it. Their products are available on other websites that will gladly refund your money and exchange. I have never been treated so badly by a business.

Be aware - 'Returns' vs REFUNDS

I checked before ordering as I don't like store credits. After reading the Returns description on each individual items page, I was led to believe on the surface that 'returns' are OK! nowhere on the page did it say anything about a credit. Until I went to return something and it's credit only. Very disappointed I purchased, I thought I'd done due diligence before purchasing. (My fault for thinking they would have included that important point in their specific Returns description? Didn't think i needed to dig deeper?!) I reached out to them and ...'we never stated that refunds are offered'... Catch you out on wording :)

Atrocious

Atrocious! Terrible product quality and I contacted customer service for help and they were exceptionally rude through a series of very unhelpful emails. Please avoid this awful store!

Poor customer service and ignorant response,

We bought a dress via the internet under the heading Fenella. We are familiar with Fenella and occasional customers of the Burford Store. As the dress proved unsuitable we rang the number on the delivery note and were told, enthusiastically, we could return it for refund at the Burford Shop. It appeared they were unable to refund as the stock was from Florence Clothing operating under the Fenella title. The lady in Burford was full of apologies but could do nothing except tell us to return the dress by post. With the return we complained that having been wrongly advised caused us a 25 mile round trip plus postage. No attempt to recompense us for this situation was forthcoming bar refund of the cost of the dress. Such poor concern to offer quality customer service is at the very least disappointing and certainly we have no intention of dealing with this company again. Your firm requested the review. Claiming you are not responsible is untrue. Your response confirms everything in the original review.

Hello Michael,

It looks like this review was mistakenly left for the wrong business.

The location you’ve mentioned — Burford — is in Great Britain, and your reference to miles confirms that. We’re based in Australia and operate solely online at florencestore.com.au, an Australian boutique.

Our response doesn’t confirm anything other than that this review isn’t intended for us.

Hopefully, readers can see the clear mismatch here.

We do believe Trustpilot could benefit from stronger review verification — this situation highlights why.

I wanted to return my purchases but…

I wanted to return my purchases but they won't give me a money refund. $200. The elastic twisted inside the article and was poorly made on the second article. They didn't fit. I live isolated from dress shops. 400km return to post office and could not contact them by phone and was not given permission to return by email until I had left the regional city. I could not even get a return address whilst trying to do so in the Post Office. They only give you credit. In today's economic circumstances, legally they should refund. They only give you one option for credit not a refund. Extremely unhappy.
