Great experience. This was the first time I'd ever ordered fashion contacts online and I was not disappointed. Honey color has a really great selection of all types of lenses all of which can be cared for with traditional solution. Their prices aren't bad and the site has a multitude of reviews and photos for each brand. I gave them a 4 stars because it does take about 15 days for the products to arrive. Meaning you have to really plan ahead if you want them for a wedding, party, Halloween etc.

Please don't let all these negative reviews dissuade you from buying from this site. I ordered 2 items from them on the 21 st of June and they arrived on the 27th completely fine and exactly as described and pictured on the site. I was really impressed that they even had the option to ship from a US warehouse. The clothes arrived free of stains, rips or popped seams and the over all quality can be compared to that of Forever 21. Definitely worth the $10.00 paid for the pants and the $6.75 paid for the hoodie. I have included a link to a photo comparison to really give readers a concrete idea of what I'm talking about.

I feel that the numerous issues that so many have experienced largely stem from the buyer's inexperience with international vendors. China is known for creating cheap replicas of popular fashions. Online stores like Wholesale dress are simply selling these replicas from their warehouses. They can't be directly compared to the online stores found in one's native country (ie, Karmaloop, Asos) so one must enter a purchase knowing that some assumed standards may not be met.

Here are a few guidelines that I think will make purchasing from whole sale dress (as well as other international online stores) much less frustrating.

A) Use a measuring tape. Measure your self and compare those numbers to the dimensions given on the web site. If you're ordering from a American/European country, keep in mind that no only are these clothes extremely cheap, but they are tailored for a smaller Asian frame so you will most likely have to order a size OR 2 up.

B) Keep your first purchase small and keep in mind that you get what you pay for. As a discerning online buyer I really can't imagine why someone would throw $400 at a website that they've never ordered from. I also can't understand why someone would be angry when the color of a 4 dollar shirt is one shade off. Keep in mind the unpredictability of overseas shipping and air mail. These products are extremely cheap so just start low, test the reliability and go from there.

C) Be patient. These items are being shipped from and where they are being shipped to. I ordered from the US and luckily Whole sale dress has a ware house stationed in NY. My shipping took a week but that is NOT the norm with international sellers. I've ordered products from YesSyle (who only ship from overseas) and my items have taken up to 7 weeks to arrive. That is VERY typical and is in no way an indicator of shady dealings. It is also normal to be given a tracking number that is virtually useless. Once again this isn't a sign of a scam but more byproduct of shipping services that aren't american or European based.

Here is a link to the photo comparisons of my purchases.

I've ordered a few items from them these past couple of years and overall my experience has been very satisfactory. The site's prices do rage a lot higher than other whole sale stores but it's a lot less shady and my items have always matched the images on the site. Yes style also Isn't strictly knock offs. They have a few brand names like "googims" and "lets fly" that are of course going to run a higher price.

I don't really know what the deal is with people ordering from these obscure Asia Fashion retailers and then wondering why A: clothes don't fit as expected, B: The shipping takes a long time and C: Things that are $4.00 look like knock offs. These are very common characteristics of this type of online store and in my opinion yes style is the most professional and the most accurate.

For clothing I'd say order one size up and definitely make use of a measuring tape to give your self a real idea about the sizing and fit. (The dimensions of most garments are made available by the site). As far as shipping, if you need the item in a hurry, shop strictly out of the "ready to ship" category or else expect to wait 3 weeks if not more for your item.
