ASOS?

I'm liking the look of Asos. I don't think they're a drop shipper like Sammydress. Their prices may be a higher, but they're reasonable and show some nice stuff. Also, they make a big deal about their "ethical trade", being "carbon neutral", "positive body image" and "sustainable fashion". OK, that last one sounds like a bit of a stretch, but it's nice they're trying.

Girls;
For those of us that are Size 18 (Australian) upwards. I am size 22. I would highly recommend Dream Diva. You will find them on line at www.dreamdiva.com.au Apparently they do about 80% of their business on line. Their clothes are fabulous. Not frumpy and cut and designed for the bigger woman, with many dresses and skirts with nicely above the knee hems. Their miniskirts and shorts are great!

Careful girls!!

Found this thread earlier and starting looking around at all the sites provided. For sammydress and rosewholesale the prices were indeed ridiculous, so much that more research was in order. And that's how I discovered these two sites are borderline scams.

First thing to look at is the facebook pages. I went through several of the facebook comments for rosewholesale and several of them where people who had heard nothing of their orders after months, or only received part of it, or obtained ridiculously small sizes even by asian standards.
One individual in particular was posting warning comments in nearly every post from this company.

Naturally I was concerned that maybe it's just a case of disgruntled people being the ones to complain, people ordering the wrong sizes, people expecting international packages faster than they should ... but instead, every site I visited led to more and more horror stories.
Sitejabber reviews of the site are for the most part awful, with some solid ones in between that tend to have poor english and lead me to think they were more likely to be from PR representatives of the company.
There's a bunch of youtube reviews of both sammydress and rosewholesale, and while there's a bunch of positive ones, they all name similar issues: sizes not being what was expected, shipping times going beyond normal to the point it takes MONTHS, things being of very poor and cheap material that breaks or falls apart easily, customer service ignoring complaint tickets, seethrough fabrics, sizes being extremely small, etc etc etc.

Bottom line is: yes, everything seems super cheap, but chances are that it is the case because of things being cheap knockoffs that attempt to barely resemble the images they provide.
From what I've seen online, there are some cases of people getting what they wanted, or a product that is not 100% as expected but still wearable/usable, but considering the huge shipping cost due to international shipping and the ridiculous and unreliable wait time, the whole experience seems like a gamble.

I truly hope that helps, I see a lot of you are really excited (I was too at first ... coats for less than $25? YES PLEASE) so I would hate for these sites to be fraudulent and disappoint people here.
In any case, I look forward to hearing from those of you that already ordered. Best of luck! :-\

I did receive my order from sammydress, it took about 3 weeks.  :-\ I will give a better review of each of the products here later. I can say that one of the items was way smaller than it should of been according to what I ordered. It was only $2 so I am not too worried. Another product did not even look like the pictured item, it was a cheap shirt but what I got was not the right item I think, again it was very cheap so I won't waste my time trying to have customer service fix it. Other than those 2 issues and the expensive shipping cost I do like all the other products I ordered. I am small so small/medium items fit fine. The quality seems okay, but we will see how they hold up after a few washes.

Love,
Jade

I wouldn't be surprised if both of those websites were selling direct from China merchandise. I ordered a few things from a website called AliExpress.com, which is direct from China merchandise. A friend had told me that I would need to watch my tracking in case items get hold up in customs. Also, they have free shipping options.

Try www.Zulily.com

I've ordered several things from there and have been very pleased with the items I've received. 
Note: most of the items you cannot return, so be very careful to check the sizing before you purchase!

Love Rachael

Wow, amazing online stores. One word of warning, however: just check, if you can, what kind of colouring agent they use in their clothes, as lately there have been quite a few recalls regarding toxic colours being used in garments. Perhaps you could do an online search for the product line and safety warnings, etc.

Also, just to be a further killjoy, if the clothes are ridiculously cheap, then it's likely they were made under ridiculously unethical working conditions. Just sayin'.

Thanks, though.

It's so hard to find female clothes that are my size and usually have to look in the plus sizes in buying clothes.

I ordered another one. As most items are sold out, I selected a black XL.

http://www.rosewholesale.com/cheapest/solid-color-noble-style-worsted-250964.html

Let's see how long it will take to arrive at my home.

It was delivered, and disappointingly does not look like the photos at all. The belt design is different, and can not wear it.
Just a waste of money!

Well, hey. You've got something to donate to the next clothing drive. I'm sure someone will love it.  :)

Yes! a few things I got did not match the photos at all, blacks seemed bleached out, A pair of leggings already split at the crotch (might be because I have stuff that don't belong in there...) But The quality and what was pictured compared to what I got is bad. I used SammyDress. Some of the stuff is Ok, just OK tho, not impressed. I got better stuff for cheaper at a thrift store. Also the sizes at sammydress are all very small to tiny, so if you are big don't even bother. I think the rosewholsale is just a clone of sammydress, same items same prices, and the sites look the same just different name at the top.

Another great site is http://www.onestopplus.com since it houses Woman Within and other stores. Not the cheapest but they carry good clothes especially for those of you like me who need plus sizes.

I tried to post my review comment on the item at http://www.rosewholesale.com/ to provide correct info to other potential buyers. My post does not appear in the site.

And my another order was not yet processed in one month.

A total scam!

I've found that online shopping for clothes has been a complete crap shoot. I have scored some gems but I've gotten a few lemons as well.

So I just go to the department stores and big box stores now. I even try on before I buy. Lots of success this way... Nobody has said a damn thing about me trying on women's clothes. Some stuff I don't have to try on, I just hold it against me and I know my sizes so I'm good. Be brave. You will get used to it and thank yourself for it. No shipping charge and no sales tax in NJ, and no sales tax below $75 for clothing in NYC.
