DressLily Review

About DressLily

DressLily is a fashion company that sells trendy clothing at an affordable price point, and also features selections of swimwear, home decor, and accessories. It is considered an inclusive brand, as it also caters to men and the plus-size demographic.

This DressLily review found that the brand’s Instagram page has a following of over 785K, and that the company has over 12M followers collectively across its social media platforms. o

A major factor in the brand’s apparent popularity is likely its affordable pricing and highly varied selection of merchandise. 

My DressLily review will give you the scoop on the brand and its products, as well as customer ratings, discounts and promotions, and more important details to help you decide if this is a trustworthy source of affordable clothing.

Overview of DressLily

On the “About Us” page on its website, DressLily states that it launched in 2013 with the purpose of providing fashionable pieces for women of all sizes. The brand has expanded into many different categories, and claims to have 14.7M customers registered on its website.

DressLily stands by the value of inclusivity. Its clothing caters to women and men of all shapes and sizes, and there is a particularly large selection of DressLily plus size swimwear. The brand declares that its core value is to “praise every body” (which is probably not a typo). 

I should note at this point in my DressLily review that the brand website gives no indication of the identities of the company’s founders, the year the brand was established, or where it is located. This aligns it with other clothing companies like Rosegal, which are linked to a major Chinese e-commerce firm with a reputation for questionable business practices.

Before getting any further into this DressLily review, let’s look at some of the company’s highlights.

Highlights

• Variety of clothing styles and merchandise categories, including home decor and men’s apparel
• Size-inclusive
• Inexpensive price point
• Free shipping on orders of $59 and up
• Generous returns policy

Online shopping has made it easier than ever to access the products we want, but it has also made it easier for us to be taken in by companies that don’t operate above the board.

Up ahead in my DressLily review, I’ll give you a straight-up assessment of the brand based on the info available on its website and customer reactions to the items they received.

DressLily Men’s Review

DressLily menswear includes items like hoodies, shirts, jeans, suits and blazers, and more. My DressLily review will go over some popular men’s clothing items to give you more insight into what the brand has to offer. 

DressLily Letter Print Color Block Rib Splicing Loose Fit Beam Feet Men’s Polyester Sweatpants Review

These graphic sweats are categorized as an active style. Made of 100% polyester, these red, white, and navy blue Letter Print Sweatpants are low-rise, loose, and very hip hop-esque.

The style of these pants is categorized as “pencil,” with a cuff at the ankle for a tapered effect. These sweatpants are ideal for lounging around the house or as part of a contemporary streetwear look. Ranging from sizes M to 2XL, these Letter Print Sweatpants are $21.

DressLily Loose Fit Letters Print Color Block Rib Splicing Beam Feet Polyester Sweatpants Review 

The Loose Fit Letters Print Sweatpants are great if you’re going for a laid-back look. These low-rise, pencil-style sweatpants have a drawstring at the waist to balance out the loose fit, a black waistband, and black and white graphics.

Available in sizes M to 2XL, these active pants retail for $19.

DressLily Loose Fit Letters Print Color Block Rib Splicing Beam Feet Polyester Sweatpants Review 

These Loose Fit Letters Print Sweatpants are similar to the previous two items, but with a different color scheme. These active sweats are white with a black waistband and turquoise and black graphics, and have a drawstring and cuffed ankles to create a loose-fitting and relaxed look.

As with the above items, these pants range in size from M to 2XL, and they retail for $19.

DressLily Cowl Neck Single Breasted Horn Button Cardigan Review

This Cowl Neck Single Breasted Cardigan has a knit design and horn buttons, as well as buttons down the center and two pockets. It has a slim silhouette that will give you a fashionable vibe without sacrificing comfort.

This DressLily cardigan is available in black, deep gray, and brown, and comes in sizes L to 2XL. At the time of this DressLily review, it’s on sale for $18, a 64% savings on the original price of $64.

DressLily Solid Color Men’s Retro Drawstring Knight Sweater Review 

If you’re into cosplay or Renaissance fairs, the Retro Drawstring Knight Sweater might be up your alley. Available in dark gray and light gray, this sweater has a hood that emulates the helmet and visor of a medieval knight, while the shoulders are designed to replicate the look of an armored breastplate.

DressLily claims you can “wear [this] with absolutely any outfit for a casual look,” but I think this is far more of a personality piece than everyday wear. It comes in sizes M to 3XL, and is marked down to $20 from $64.

DressLily Hooded High Low Drop Shoulder Longline Sweater Review

The Hooded High Low Drop Shoulder Longline Sweater gives you the best of both worlds: a mid-thigh sweater in front, and a long cardigan in the back. Available in light khaki or red wine, this is a great item for the autumn, with enough length to keep you warm while looking fashionable.

You can purchase this sweater for $23 at the time of this DressLilyreview; normally, it retails for $49.

DressLily Hooded Plus Size High Low Sweater Review

The Hooded Plus Size High Low Sweater is the same as the high-low style sweater mentioned above. The only difference is that the sizes range from M to 5X, and it’s currently only available in the color red wine.

This plus-size sweater is currently on sale for $17, as opposed to the original price of $48.

DressLily Halloween Blood Choker Necklace Review

DressLily has a variety of Halloween pieces that you can get for an affordable price. A great example is this Blood Choker Necklace for only $3. This necklace has a gothic choker style design to it, but is designed to look as if you have had your throat slit (charming!).

If dismemberment is your Halloween jam, this could be a fun addition to your costume. Fit for most neck sizes, this choker comes with an extender, allowing you to adjust the size.

DressLily Long Colormix Middle Part Wavy Capless Synthetic Wig Review

DressLily synthetic wigs are advertised as an accessory, which you can use to give yourself a new look or to spice up an outfit. Wigs are also great Halloween accessories, but they can get expensive. This Middle Part Wavy Capless Synthetic Wig is just $33, making it a perfect option for costumes.

This synthetic wig is capless and features long blonde-brown hair in a middle part with a wavy hairstyle. At the time of this DressLily review, there are no DressLily human hair wigs available for purchase.

Where Do Clothes From DressLily Come From? 

DressLily’s website registration identifies its location as Beijing, China. The location of the company has made many customers curious and concerned about the distribution, production, as well as the quality of the products the brand sells. 

At the time of this DressLily review, I also found that, along with several other online brands, DressLily is linked to a Shenzhen-listed company owned by one of the richest men in China.

DressLily Reviews: What Do Customers Think?

Is DressLily legit? That’s a common question among prospective customers, and I was wondering the same thing. I took to the web to see what customers across the globe honestly think about DressLily, based on their personal experiences with the brand.

I came across reliable ratings on websites such as Trustpilot, SiteJabber, and Reddit. On SiteJabber, DressLily has over 4,600 customer testimonials and a 2.5/5-star rating. An example of the former were generally satisfied with the company’s shipping, customer service, and the quality of the products.

On Trustpilot 3,500 reviews give DressLily a 2.8/5-star rating, but the brand’s website tells a far cheerier story. For one of the popular plus-size DressLily vintage dresses, 33 reviews gave the item an average of 5/5 stars. “I really like this dress. I get plenty of compliments on it. Overall quality and fit is great. The only thing I would change is it’s a bit lose in the chest area,” said one buyer. 

A review of a DressLily Christmas dress reported, “It did its job! Perfect for the job holiday Party! Sizing was good and it fit as expected.” This item also has a 5/5-star rating, based on 20 reviews.

To conclude this segment of my DressLily review, most of the customers on trusted review websites are happy with the brand. While there are of course some concerns about shipping times and the fit of some pieces, for the most part you get what you pay for.

Is DressLily Worth It?

Right off the bat, it’s quite obvious that DressLily is similar to brands like Shein, Zaful, and other fast-fashion companies based out of China. If you’re looking for trendy, affordable clothing and accessories to wear for special occassions for just the season, I’d recommend giving the brand a try.
