Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Considering 61 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers are delighted with their purchases, praising the quality of the fabric and workmanship, often noting that items exceed expectations and fit perfectly, especially when custom-sized. Reviewers frequently highlight the accurate colors, detailed designs, and the overall elegance of the clothing, with some appreciating the company's responsiveness to special requests like adding pockets. The ease of the ordering process and timely delivery are also frequently mentioned as positive aspects, leading many to recommend the company and express intentions to order again. However, a significant number of people were dissatisfied with the product quality, finding items to be cheaply made, not as described, or having incorrect sizing despite being custom-ordered. The return policy is a major point of contention, with many customers finding it impossible, difficult, and expensive to return items, often due to high shipping costs to China or unexpected return fees. Some reviewers also reported issues with orders not arriving or receiving items that were completely different from what they ordered, leading to frustration and financial loss.

Delivery exceeded expectations. Garment was made to fit and fabric didn’t wrinkle and allowed spot cleaning. I would project a repeat sale, but I would like to wear this outfit again.

Would give 0 stars if I could.

- Doesn’t honour their returns policy
- Missed the deadline for sending out a replacement dress
- Options were “5% refund and late delivery or cancel the order”
- No complaints department or managers, customer service agents with no customer service training.

I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone.
The dress didn’t match the measurements and when I wanted to return they said it would cost too much and they’d have to pay customs tax on it. Offered a 20% refund to keep the dress that doesn’t fit.
I reordered and agreed a delivery date, 3 weeks later they advise they’re busy and it’ll take them longer to make. Then said they won’t have the dress ready for the agreed date and I could cancel my order or get a 5% refund and accept late delivery - after my event?? Why did it take 3 weeks before they even thought about making the dress?

I’ve tried complaining and escalating but I get the same response from the same customer service agent who is rude and unhelpful.

Quality of the dress was good

EDIT TO ADD - They saw my review and sent me 25% of my money back.

Quality of the dress was good, that’s the only reason I gave 2 stars. When the dress came in my daughter did not like it on her. Tried to start a return with the understanding that there would be a restocking fee and I would probably have to pay to ship it back but they wanted pics of my daughter in the dress to see why she didn’t like it, NO. Then they offered me a percentage to take it to a tailor to have it fixed, no. I finally told them I would just keep the dress because it’s not worth the hassle, they replied that they would send my money back within seven days and 10 days later nothing.

Scam artist company

I ordered a dress on February 16, 2024 as is. No changes to sizing or length. This is how they screw you with your money: I got no shipping confirmation or tracking number. I got an email stating Cicinia emailed me 3 days after my purchase requesting my size and date of my event. They never did. I emailed back asking to ship my dress as is. I get a new email asking for my event date because if I need it right away then I MUST PAY THEM $15 for expedited shipping. Really? Doesn’t it say you ship within 7 to 15 days! I haven’t heard from them. Where is my dress or my money? They hold you hostage and then DEMAND MORE MONEY from you! Be careful, don’t buy from them.

I have been trying and failing to get a refund - avoid

I have been trying and failing to return an item to Cicinia. The dress, which has come from China, is very badly made and looks nothing like the photos.

Following their procedure, I have emailed (at least 10 times) but have had no reply. So I have lost £100, which is not an insubstantial amount. I am at a loss of what to do, other than to advise others not to buy anything from them.

Please avoid at all costs.

If I could pick no stars I would

If I could pick no stars I would! I ordered 2 bridesmaid dresses, they looked beautiful online! When they were delivered they had an awful fishy smell to them and the quality was horrendous! I order a size 14 and my size 10 bridesmaid could even get it close to zipping up! There was no way that it was a true size 14! When I emailed them asking for a refund and to the return the dress stating they smelt and the quality wasn’t good they told me to wash them. I then said the quality was still poor they said to gift them to a friend! I would not accept the resolution and said I want a refund! They offered me 50% back and to keep the dress, I was not happy with this and said I want at least 75% back or I want the full 90% that is stated on their website and to send them back! They then said to send them back I would lose more money as it had to go to china (it seemed to me they were trying to scare me on losing money than to accept responsibility and give me a refund)! We went back and forward on emails until I accepted a 70% refund and to keep the dress! These will end up in the bin as I couldn’t possibly give these poor quality dresses to anyone! Order number was ZJCN2226844UK I’ve seen a lot of their response and it always seem they can’t find the order when people have left poor reviews!

It was was under Samantha lees and you can use the code I have posted to find the order.

Bravo! Everyone at the wedding commented on the outfit!

From the individual attention to every measurement (double checking to make sure my measuring was done correctly) to the tracking so I knew where we were in the process, this company went over and above and helped me look wonderful for my granddaughters wedding. I have 7 grands and this was the first to marry. I know where I'll be getting the next 6 outfits! Bravo and deep thanks!

I ordered a bridesmaid dress from here after researching multiple companies. The communication through the entire process made it all worth while. I sent in my measurements and received my dress this weekend. The dress fit so perfectly and looks amazing just like the picture online. The dress is well made and even has pockets. Thank You so much for your customer service and speedy delivery!

Custom sizing still doesn’t fit

I had a horrible time with this company. I ordered a custom dress for a wedding that I am a bridesmaid in. The price is more than the listed cost of the dress, which I was okay with since I was getting it custom and figured that would save me some money on alterations. They asked for measurements and then they continued to ask me to remeasure as my proportions were “too large.” I decided to go to a tailor to be sure. I sent them over the professional measurements and they continued to insist that the measurements are wrong and not proportional. I insisted they were right as I had gotten them down by a professional. Then they wanted photos. I sent over some but they continued to ask for me for more. This emailing went on for over 20 emails, with them at some points saying the dress wouldn’t be able to be made with my measurements. I finally tell them to make the dress according to the measurements I had from my tailor and I wasn’t going back and forth anymore. I get the dress and the places that they said were “too large” to make to my measurements were actually fine. But the bust, the one area they didn’t have a problem with, was made extremely large. I measured it and it is not even close to the bust measurement I gave them. It’s so huge that I’m going to have to get it professionally fixed which is going to cost me even more money. This whole issue with the communication via email and then the dress not being made to all the given measurements has been very discouraging. The dress I received is nice quality and looks like the photos but the custom ordering just does not work. I was planning to use this site to order dresses for my own bridesmaids as my wedding is coming up but will not be doing so now as it’s been too much of a hassle and it’s not even right.

***The company has since reached out and has offered a partial repayment so I can get the alterations I need. ***

Hi, Jamie. We fully understand that sending custom measurements can be a huge hassle. Your dress is a custom size and the size is a bit large, to make a perfect fit for you, so we would like to get more accurate measurements if possible. We are very sorry for the unpleasant experience and appreciate your continued patience in responding. Our dresses are checked for size by our quality control department and if the measurements you provided are correct, the dress should fit. Could you please provide some detailed pictures? We will actively deal with this issue for you. Waiting for your reply.

Big Waste

Ordered a custom dress, gave all correct measurements but dress is way too small. Took over a month and the dress stunk when I opened the bag.

Hi, Kati. We value every customer's opinion, when we saw your feedback, we contacted you by email the first time. We feel sorry that the size of the dress is not suitable. We made the dress exactly to the measurements you provided, and we also sent you the pictures we took during quality inspection, you can clearly see that the size is correct. As our dresses are handmade to order, it take longer to produce and you paid for standard delivery, so it will be a little slower. We do apologize for all the inconvenience caused to you. We have emailed you to give you some solutions, please reply as soon as possible and we will take care of it for you until you are satisfied.

The dress was true to the picture and well made. I am very happy about that. However, when ordering the dress i think its better to go up one size. That just my opinion. Thanks you
