Wholesale-dress.net Review 1


Hey guys, I’m going to review my purchases from wholesale-dress at www.wholesale-dress.net. It is an Asian wholesale website. You order it overseas(if you’re not currently in Asia) and it takes a while to get through customs and everything but I think it’s worth it. The good thing about this website is that they have a US Warehouse in New York. If you order from that warehouse(there are warehouse options in the top right hand side of the website) it takes less time and the shipping is less. These websites are basically clothes without the middle man involved. It’s clothes that get sent to stores in the US and other places a lot of the times. Most all of these clothes come with tags attached.
These wholesale websites do allow you to buy a lot at a time if you have a store to sell them in. Some of these sites do not allow just one piece to be purchased. These sites actually recommend that the prices of some  these clothes can be marked up by 300% once you put them in your store(ie. boutique prices!!!). Don’t chastise me for buying from them! I will gladly hear your opinion, but there’s no need for hateful remarks. I love to find fashion for less, so I wanted to explore this growing trend. Wholesale-dress currently has over 300,000 Facebook likes.
I’m going to show you their picture and info and show you my picture and my opinions. I’ll give each item a rating out of 10.
I’ve made 2 orders from there in the past 2 months. My first order will be in this review. I still  need to take pictures of my second order.
The first thing I bought was a hat. You can buy the hat at this link.

This is their picture!
 Here’s my picture!
    Overall, I loved this hat! It’s so cute and   feminine. This being my first order I was  nervous about how the quality would be. I researched many of these wholesale websites and found this one to be the best. They have been in business for quite a while and they have a warehouse in the US. I would highly recommend ordering from their US warehouse first if you’re curious about this website. Back to the hat, the colors are just about the same and the quality is pretty good. It’s a lot like something you’d find at Forever 21. Some discoloration on the flowers and the black band could be sewn a bit better. But for $3.62 I am VERY happy!

I give the hat an 8/10.

The next thing was a top/dress. You can buy it at this link.

This top is pretty cute! I loved the bottle design on it. The obvious “Fragrance” letting kind of annoys me but who’s going to read it anyways? I didn’t really pay attention when I ordered it, the sleeves are big and open which is not my favorite. The bottom is banded which is good for a dress, not so much for a top. Luckily I’m short enough for it to be a dress. I’m about 5 foot. The colors are the same as pictured and measurements are good. It’s a little thin and the shape is odd. Sorry for the lame mirror picture! haha I didn’t have time to take a pretty one! I paired it with black leggings to show you guys the length. I’d never wear it as a dress without leggings! I don’t know about you guys, but booty thigh hanging out of a short dress is not cute! I would’ve loved for it to be a little more loose in the bottom. I would still wear it though!

I give this shirt a 6/10.

The last thing in my first order was earrings. You can buy them at this link.

These earrings are great! They look exactly like the pictures! Sorry, guys I was being a bit of a lazy today and didn’t take a picture on my side. But I promise they are just like the picture! Super cute and very fun to wear. Its black and rhinestones in a zebra pattern. Who wouldn’t love that? It does not come with the metal earring backs though just the clear little protective backing that comes on earrings at the store. I just used some extra ones I had from another pair. If this really bothers you try searching earring backs on amazon and I’m sure you can get a lot for a pretty cheap price!

I give the earrings a 9/10.



Some tips for ordering from this site or these types of sites:
  • Start with a small order of a little of each type of clothing, that way you can feel out how reliable the website is or if it at least meets your standards.
  • The shipping can get VERY expensive. It is calculated by weight, shop wisely!
  • Anything made from chiffon could easily be a lesser quality (ie. sewn bad, missing buttons, threads, etc.) Cotton is usually a safe route to go though still may have some problems, but it’s less common.
  • These websites have very low quantity of each item, order fast if you want something. Wholesale-dress is one of the only sites that show you how much they have in stock.
  • IMPORTANT: These websites are not selling you what is EXACTLY pictures. There can and most likely will be some differences. They use the pictures from Asian magazines and fashion and make something similar. None of the items I have ever ordered has been something completely different pictured(I have not ordered anything chiffon yet though! haha). I have seen a few stories of people getting back clothes that are NOT like the picture at all though(most coming from not as popular wholesale websites). Always research the website!
  • Remember that these clothes are cheap. You are going to get cheap quality most of the time. In my opinion, it’s usually not any different than Forever 21, Wet Seal, or Rue 21. I’d say 1 out of 5 things you get from those stores are messed up somehow.
  • Jewelry is usually safe to order and expect it to look the same.
  • You can ALWAYS chat with the customer service(this is regarding wholesale-dress.net, I don’t know about the other websites) and ask them questions about how accurate the measurements or picture is to the product. They will acknowledge that the products will usually be a little different. They will more often than not tell you any measurements and answer any questions you have.

Please give me your opinions guys! If you have any questions just ask. Link to your reviews in the comments and share your results with similar sites! Thanks!
