Hi guys,
So I have had a few people asking me recently about online stores and where they can buy nice dresses from etc.. I have so many that I go to that it is ridiculous and I often forget half of them when someone actually asks me!
If I wrote about all of the stores I have on my 'favourites' list this would go on forever, so I have just kept this as short and sweet as possible.
Hopefully there is a bit of something for everyone (although a lot of the online boutiques are very similar!).
Some quick tips for those of you who aren't veteran online shoppers:
- One of the benefits of some of these online stores stocking virtually the exact same thing is that it gives you a variety of different models to see it on. If there is a dress you are interested in, shop around. Not only for price, but I have found in the past that a dress I really liked the look of on one site, I really did not on another. It is a good way to get a really good idea of what you are getting.
- Take note of what the model sizes are in the outfits you're looking at - now most (if not all) of the models of the online stores are size 6 or 8s ( or extra small and small). So this is really more for girls who are shopping those sizes. They should help give you a rough idea which one you will be (check out their measurements).
- Check the sites return policy. If you aren't confident, don't buy from a store that doesn't accept change of mind refunds or even charges you to return. A few of these stores offer free returns within 7-14 days for change of mind. In my experience it is a pretty easy and painless exercise.
- If the store does charge for returns, you need to consider whether or not it will be worth the purchase. I have kept outfits I haven't liked in the past simply because by the time I returned it, I would have paid just as much in postage here and back, as I did for the dress
Below is a list of just a few of my go-to online stores. They are generally pretty reasonably priced, and have a bit of everything:
Lucy in the Sky (www.lucyinthesky.com.au)
Hello Molly (www.hellomolly.com.au)
Sabo Skirt (www.saboskirt.com)
Pepper Mayo (www.peppermayo.com)
The Iconic (www.theiconic.com)
ShowPo (www.showpo.com)
Teal and Tala (www.tealandtala.com.au)
Bayla Boutique (www.bayla.com.au)
Mura Boutique (www.muraboutique.com.au)
Hunted Dreams (www.hunteddreams.com)
Hope this comes in handy ladies! I will be doing a kind of part 2 to this, with some more upmarket-ish labels that I am loving at the moment and some new purchased I have made! So excited!! :D
Take care of yourself xxxx

I ordered 4 outfits from Hello Molly and totally regret spending $240 without trialing it out! ..Biggest mistake ever as I trusted the pictures on the website. The dresses and the lace top were made of very cheap material that I did not even bother trying it on as I knew I would not be able to wear it out. The denim dress material had an awful smell as well. I have now returned all the 4 outfits back, and hoping to at least get a store credit! I wish I read about their no return policy before ordering.. 🙁 Too late now!
